Did you hear about LeBron James building an entire school so poor children could get a decent education? I used to think he was overpaid. Now I think they need to pay him even more so he can build another school.

I get a buzz being around him, and Glory, looks like it's mutual...oh Lordy, what's gonna happen...probably not much (?).

CBD Oil is coming to POTT. CO. just in time for Christmas! Should have happened 2,000 years ago.

love2travel here...I recently heard that. It's great to hear people doing goodness with their money. I'm so impressed with people who remember to look out for others, when they've done well. With the current back stabbing climate, in the air these days, even more... I just want to move somewhere better.
Just noticed that my local TV channel has a lot of "Good News" items during their daily news report. They manage to catch local people who've done good things and they report on them. It always makes me smile when they do that. They also post positive local events going on as well as good deeds from others around the world. When I do move, I'll be able to watch them on their app. That's the way news should be reported, in my mind... to remind us that the world has a lot of great unsung heroes. I love them all!!

My oldest Gdaughter texted me the day before Thanksgiving. Her and her friends were at Central Park and the Strawberry Fields Memorial. They all sang IMAGINE together

Every Chinese news channel I have ever seen has time devoted to good news. Some (Americans) say it is propaganda, but I don't see why happy propaganda is any worse than all the negative propaganda in other countries.

Congratualtions. Does that mean you will now work harder for slightly less money or work a lot less for far more money?
And is there a third option?

Good news is seeing Hailey posting! We've all been thinking of you.

My good news is that I got a new job in Amsterdam. That's great for me because I'm finally going back to work after a year off and I love everything about Amsterdam.
Of course, I've only visited briefly. Working there might change my opinion about the city. But I doubt it. Amsterdam is beautiful. If you haven't been, go. Right now.
Or maybe wait until after Christmas.

So when will you be moving there? Good luck with the new job!

Thank you. Unfortunately, I did not get a raise. But I suppose after taking a year off, any income can be considered a raise.

Thank you. I'll never technically live there. It's a part time job, so I'll be commuting. I've already lined up an apartment for the brief times I am there, but I will treat it more like a hotel. I won't keep any stuff there and other people will live there while I am here.
The fun part is that, even though I'll never be a resident, I still have to get insurance, open a bank account and get a household registry number. And, of course, I get to pay taxes in yet another country.

Good. Good people, good stories, good news, good jokes, how to be a good _____ etc...
Very Good.

Got my first Christmas card of the year today from my youngest daughter, gdaughter and son-in-law.
With a nice little letter of updates on what they did this year, including going to see The Harlem Globetrotters and a trip to Disney World.

Where are the good jokes? Every site I see is either extremely cheesy jokes, children's jokes or dirty jokes.
