The porch is quieter now, The photos a bit more worn, But your hand in mine Still feels like coming home. Love didn’t fade— It simply grew still, Rooted in time, By grace and will. So here we sit, Two souls, one song— Not looking back, Just still holding on. Love - It’s what makes life worth living. Not pensions - Not possessions. Not how many gadgets you owned or how sharp your memory still is. It’s the glance across the room that still gives you butterflies. The warm hand next to yours, weathered by time - but still hol...

  The YouTube video transcript offers a weekly cybersecurity routine designed for quick implementation, even during a morning coffee. It emphasizes checking security applications for updates, rebooting Wi-Fi routers, and installing system and app updates on all devices.  The source also highlights the importance of strong password practices using a password manager and enabling two-factor authentication for critical accounts.

I’m Bob — retired, but definitely not over the hill and I’ve been using AI like ChatGPT as my digital co-writer, sounding board, and occasionally — my stand-up comedy partner.

Lie to your boss, and you're fired. Skip your taxes, and the IRS comes knocking. Swipe a stapler from work, and suddenly you’re in corporate exile. But when politicians lie, cheat, or misuse funds, they somehow walk away unscathed—often more popular than ever. What’s the secret?

They’re surrounded by legal teams, crisis PR firms, a...

First thing’s first—check your security apps - Yep, that little antivirus program named Avast you forgot was even installed?  Open it up - Make sure it says something reassuring like 'You're protected' and not 'Please, help me, I’m outdated!'

Why Most of Us Are Being Misled Once upon a time, we got our news from newspapers. Real, physical paper that smudged your fingers and smelled like fresh ink. The stories were written by people who actually went out, interviewed others, verified facts, and had editors breathing down their necks to get it right. We trusted these folks. Walter Cronkite wasn’t in it for the clicks—he was in it for the truth. He told you what happened, not what would make you mad enough to stay tuned for the next two hours. But times changed.
