Warning! Cuteness Overload. This is from the YouTube channel Girl With The Dogs out of Canada. Here is her (Vanessa) mission statement: "Hello, my name is Vanessa. I have been grooming pets professionally for 12 years. Thanks to YouTube, I now groom peoples pets in exchange for a charitable donation to local dog rescues. Thank you for watching my content and helping me help pets in need."----I have learned a lot about dog grooming and breeds of dogs on her channel. We do not have a pet in our home. When I am not watching her channel I like Towing YouTube videos such as "Everything Autos" out of Tennessee. What's cool about their videos they are in Gatlinburg, Tennessee right outside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park so when they are doing tows you get great views too.

Peter Frampton is doing what Peter Frampton does best-playing his iconic 1954 black Gibson Les Paul Custom for the song "Off The Hook". ! From Live In Detroit recorded in 1999. No vocals for Off the Hook. Frampton always gives you your moneys worth! The other video is from same concert. It's called "I don't need no Doctor" which is a song he played and did backup vocals for Humble Pie. The gentleman singing with Peter Frampton was Bob Mayo who died 5 years after this concert at age 52. He was a really talented musician he toured with Foreigner, Robert Plant, Aerosmith, Hall & Oates and Joe Walsh.

Gary Moore was an incredible guitarist. He was very underappreciated. He could play any style of music and do it with greatness. That was probably part of his problem. I recall the first time I heard this song, I was driving late and night, pretty close to midnight, and was blown away. Midnight Blues is such a classic combination of rock and blues. I did like his harder stuff, such as his Monsters of Rock live performance. I will share a song from that concert, it was a Thin Lizzy song called "Don't believe a word." it has two parts, the first part is slow and deliberate. The second part kicks and rocks and I really enjoy the transition.

I have gotten sexual ones, women barely clothed. Some have used profanity. That's just on puzzle games .

I enjoy playing puzzle and strategy games that challenge my thinking, and I don’t mind watching a few ads in exchange. However, lately, many of these games have begun showing inappropriate and suggestive ads, which has led me to delete several of them. I refuse to tolerate such content and won’t continue playing games that display it. I also worry about how often children encounter these same types of ads in games meant for them. I have reached out to the game developers, but I believe they are only interested in the revenue the ads bring them.

I think I could write a book on "Things I wish I had not said".

AI is not the only danger as we use technology more and more, especially as of late in the Congregation. Everything has an app or program we can use. I have pulled back from using technology, first in the way I study my Watchtower. I no longer use a table to study. I use a printed copy where I write notes by hand, not a keyboard. For me, I feel I am improving in my study habits. Our MWM is only availabe if you have the New World App-we don't. Need to turn your field service in? Use the New World App. Group texts are sent out instead of personal communication. I don't use WhatsApp, so I get a text message that is just copied from the What'sApp. My wife just got a box of memories from her mom. It had photos, letters, cards and notes. All of which most no longer keep unless digital. It has taken her days to go over the information. I really enjoyed the TED talk by Ashley Davis entitled " The Power of Written Communication in a Technological Age". As I grow older I am struggling with memory. I am more inclined to write my thoughts out, study from a book or magazine, read a printed copy of the Bible over digital. I have daily journals I write in. Yes, more than one. I have a daily scripture that I write out by hand. I have a poem book based on that scripture that I write out. I look up positive quotes and write them out by hand. I am starting a new project based on the Draw Close to Jehovah Book. I have to get a printed copy first. I value technology. I value AI. Thank you for sharing my thoughts on this forum. They are not me telling you how to study or in what format you study. There just some things that work well for me. As @dljbsp (David) it's about using the tool wisely.

They recently updated this program. Here is an excellent video that not only explains the updates but basic operation of the program. I still like using Luminar the best.

From the 1978 album Double Vision, Mick Jones sings lead, not Lou Gramm sings "I have waited so long". Nicely arranged and performed song. The group that tours currently under the "Foreigner" name has no original members. I saw them on their first tour when they opened up for Heart in 1977.

What was interesting, too is that King Josiah was the last king mentioned who wrote his own personal copy of the Law. I thought of what a good reader Shaphan must have been. What was being read moved the King. But sadly, as David @dljbsp stated he did not continue to read, listen or follow the Law as Jehovah had instructed. Some in the congregation are disappointed when they are assigned "Just a Bible reading". This would be a great scripture to show them the value of reading God's Word before others, as it has power! I wonder what those who are assigned to read the Bible reading were also required to write it out first!

The quality has gone up since I posted this thread. I did one on the day text for today based on 1 Peter 4:8, with the help of ChatGPT. Here are the lyrics and then two versions of the song. The name of the song is "Above All, Love" "Above all things, let love remain, A healing balm through loss and pain. It shields the heart from sin’s deep scar, Forgiving freely, near and far. When love abounds, grace lights the way— And covers faults of yesterday. Love bears the weight that pride would shun, It seeks the good in everyone. It whispers peace where anger grows, And softens hearts that pain once froze. No harsh demand, no boastful call— True love seeks mercy over all. It binds the broken, mends the soul, Restores the parts that hate made cold. Through patient hands and gentle tone, Love makes a stranger feel at home. Its fire refines, yet does not burn, For every wound, it will return. When tempers flare and tongues divide, Love teaches hearts to turn aside. It listens more, and speaks with care, Reminding us God’s love is there. Though wrongs are many, love is strong, It turns the bitter into song. Love keeps no record, holds no score, It gives, then gives a little more. It does not fade when trials rise, But lifts its gaze toward brighter skies. For in its warmth, the soul can see, A glimpse of God’s eternity. So let us love with hearts made new, In all we say, in all we do. For love endures when all else dies, It mirrors heaven in mortal eyes. And through its grace, we come to find— The heart of God in all mankind." Above all things, let love remain, (1).mp3 Above all things, let love remain,.mp3

I just want to be loyal. Whether that means I enter alive or if I don't see the end. So to answer your question, yes. I just want to be loyal and that's my focus

Knowing me, I probably already shared this video. I absolutely love the intro as the performer lets her band shine before taking the stage. Sorry she has so many health issues. Singer Katie Melua sings I put a spell on you.

Yes, flowers are our neighbors
