Hey Everyone! All 3 of you that bother to read these. It has been a while. I am constantly planning to write here and always get sidetracked. Seems like I come up with my best material when I am nowhere near a device. "I will take charge of my time and achieve my goals." What's new? PJs 99 Tasks - my new business venture started at the end of July 2018. I racked up a few clients out the door and have 1 solid long-term client keeping me motivated. This year my goal is to expand my client count to at least 3 long-term clients and at least 2 one-off projects per month. Money Management: Budgeting, Bookkeeping Image Editing: Merging, Enlarging, Decorating, Enhancing Business and Personal: Letterhead, Cards, Newsletters, Bulk Mail Notary TurboTax Tutoring (I am not a CPA or any kind of Licensed Accountant but I do have decades of experience filing my taxes using TurboTax.

Freedom is a word that gets tossed around haphazardly, especially in this country - USA. But what does it really mean to be 'free'? As you might have guessed, I have several thoughts on the subject. THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT ONES OWN FREEDOM OF AUTONOMY IS TO ALWAYS ADVOCATE FOR THE FREEDOM OF OTHERS TO HAVE THE SAME.   When we attempt to deny basic personal freedoms to anyone, we open the door to having our own freedoms infringed upon. I recently watched the George Carlin special "It's bad for you" on Netflix where he states, "...rights aren’t rights if someone can take ’em away. They’re privileges, that’s all we’ve ever had in this country, is a bill of temporary privileges. And if you read the news even badly, you know that every year the list gets shorter and shorter and shorter." As an example of this, Carlin cites the interment of Japanese-Americans in 1942. "In 1942, there were a 110,000 Japanese American citizens in good standing...

Good Morning! Having my coffee in the backyard while hummingbirds fight over the feeder. Clearly I need to put out a couple more. It is on my shopping list. This years flock is much larger, as we typically have one, maybe two hummers, but this year I have seen at least four, all at the same time. They keep chasing each other away. Hopefully a few more feeders will reduce the competition. I credit the food, having switched from the artificially colored kind to clear. The brand I am using: The Hummers really love it. And if you follow my link to purchase this item for yourself, I will get a small commission from Amazon. So show your hummers some love and me too. I will be back soon with a more serious topic: Personal Autonomy, aka Freedom/Free Will. Until next time, Kisses and Hugs, Peace and Tranquility! ~Nina99

Greetings and Salutations! Thank you for visiting my newest blog. What you might expect from future posts: Strong opinions and commentary on a variety of subjects.  Interesting facts complete with citations. My favorite recipes for eating well without starving. Adorable pictures of my animals.  Humor in all things.  Sarcastic wit and side eyes all day long.  Tips and Tricks for living on a budget. And anything else that pops into my brain. The world is sorely lacking in role models who do not have a political agenda. And while I am certainly liberal, I am definitely not a democrat or any party affiliation. I am also not a member of any bandwagon. Outside of equality and autonomy, most hot button issues require a dose of compromise and level headed common sense. And as I have no children of my own, I have opted to look after everyone. If you find yourself constantly at odds with the media frenzy of the day, you might just have a home here with me. I...
