Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself. Harvey S. Firestone

The people with whom you work reflect your own attitude. If you are suspicious, unfriendly and condescending, you will find these unlovely traits echoed all about you. But if you are on your best behavior, you will bring out the best in persons with whom you are going to spend most of your waking hours.

Some people get spiritual because they see the light and some people get spiritual because they feel the heat!

How do you know if you're truly a servant? See how you react the next time someone treats you like one.

From The Corner Of My Mind

* Temps in the 60s on the ride over this morning. The wind is supposed to blow hard out of the south today with gusts possible to 30mph.
* I'm going to try to get this post off real quick. I haven't had an internet signal on this location we are on. I thought it was my phone and was on the phone with ATT technical support and APPLE technical support for hours yesterday trying to find the problem. We then went to lunch over in Denton and it worked just fine. When I got home, It also worked without wifi. I then spent two hours downloading and applying the new update, then reset to factory settings, then reset back to my original phone. I was brain fried by the time I got finished.
* Meet Sophie. Newest member of our family. She is (hope I'm saying this right) a F3 Third generation chocolate Labradoodle. She has a fleece coat, no shedding and nearly 100% hypoallergenic. 10 weeks old and has already taken over the house and bed.


* Her owner had already started housebreaking her and she is working on the commands sit and come.
* She loves riding in the Jeep.
* I had to leave church early Sunday morning. It's disturbing to get up during the sermon for any reason in my opinion. Had I not left, there was going to be a much larger disturbance. I decided to not go back in and make another disturbance and chose to go on home and get lunch started. W-spouse got up and left after church and left my IPad laying there in the chair. I realized it about 8:30 Sunday night. Mr Answers wife made the trek back over to the church and opened the door so we could retrieve it. Cheers to Tina, Jeers to W-spouse.
* So far I still have a signal. Not a good one, but a signal. I'm still confused whether it is the area we are in, or the phone.
* The bumpers for the Jeep shipped out yesterday, and should arrive by the end of the week. The winch should be here next Monday.
* I told W-spouse that she should just get me one of these for my birthday. Then she can just have the Jeep all to her own.
* The month at work started out kind of slow, but ended in a flurry of activity. I ended with a good month after all.
* I stumbled across a new person to do our taxes. I'm excited to give her a shot. The individual that used to do our went to work for Jackson Hewitt last year. I didn't feel right setting in the front of Walmart doing my taxes. 
* Be in prayers for one of my co workers. He is having heart problems again and is currently in the hospital in Dallas. Also a prayer for my cousin Arron, he fell yesterday morning and will have to have surgery on his jaws. 
* Thanks for checking in, see ya Around The Corner!

Love Sophie so cute, wondered why you were not posting always worry about sickness, if your ever north of Decatur on the west side of 287 hardly ever get a signal for my I phone I had to have my land line hooked back up, just for safety sake.

Answers? I don't know the questions. said...

I got a frantic phone call Sunday night from an addict. I could detect panic in his voice and I'm sure he was sweating profusely. This particular addict was faced with going a day without his ipad. I'm afraid that I may now be an enabler but I was concerned that in his condition that he might knock over a Radio Shack to get his hands on an ipad.

Will all the loved ones for Corner please contact me so that I can schedule an intervention. Hang on buddy, help is coming!

Prayers are going up for your co-worker. As well as Aaron too. He is truly the strongest person I know, he battles everyday and this one will be a tougher one as well. Please continue to pray for him and his family.
