The warmth of the sun on an early January afternoon, when I walked to the mailbox earlier.
How much I enjoyed my self made Bacon and tomato sub for lunch!
Pleased with my efforts at GTD today (That’s getting things done!)

This free service has been around for a while, but there’s so much new stuff out there, that it’s impossible to keep up, and it’s inevitable that you miss some things along the way. Pinger is one of those. What does it do? First, go to http://pinger.com and sign up. Then you can start adding contacts. All you need to do is to add their name, their mobiel number, and perhaps their email address. You get a number from pinger to call when you set the service up. You call this number, say your friends name, and speak your message. They get a text message giving them a number to call back on. They call back, listen to the message, and they can reply to you. So, you say, what’s special about that? It sounds like voicemail. This is true, but there’s more. You can ask for a text message to be sent back to you when your friend listens to their message, so you know they’ve received it. You can also put your contacts into groups. Perhaps you meet up with a regular few friends on Friday night. You could add them to a group, and then send a message to the whole group at once. That’s one phone call, one number to remember, and one message to speak. If you’ve got bluetooth, you could set Pinger on a speed dial, and even drop a quick message when you’re in the car, to everyone you want to at once. It works too, when you want to message your friends to meet for lunch, but you don’t want the boss to see you calling everyone on the phone to arrange it. One quick call, it’s done. As yet, and I’ve only been playing around with it for a few hours – I can’t see any cons. I recommend you give it a try. I’m still hanging in there. Been ten days now… Ok, I know it’s not long, but I’ve not quit. In fact, I realized that I was eating too much of some stuff. I’ve not really quit eating thing I ate before, but just less of it. I’m finding that I CAN eat one sandwich for lunch instead of three, and although after I’ve eaten one, I could really really eat another right away, if I wait awhile, I’m not hungry after all.
I read recently that we should all eat like a three year old. Huh? Well, have you ever watched how a three year old eats? They take what you give them, poke around at it a bit, and then usually cram it in until they’re full. Then they push away what they don’t want and that’s it. Trouble is, even those of us that try to eat decent fresh food often eat too much, simply because we were bought up to “clear our plates” and got the “all the starving children in the world that would be glad of that food and you’re wasting it” routine. Of course starving children anywhere is a real tragedy but for us to stuff extra food down that we don’t really want does nothing to help that. The way to help is perhaps to eat a little less, and there might be some more to send overseas, or perhaps we’d have a few dollars left to give to aid charities. Still, that three year old, doesn’t know any of that, and doesn’t care, and when she’s had enough, she’s not going to eat any more, no way, no how. Also, the three year old doesn’t have an urge to find comfort foods like a big pile of cookies, or a pint of ice cream. They’ll eat it probably, but again only what they want, and not because they’re fed up with something! Anyway, it’s soon going to be dinner time here, and I’ve got a few ideas, but nothing definite yet. I’d better get to the kitchen and try and think like a three year old. |
