Martha, Martha, Martha

With a new year approaching, many people resolve to commit to new or renewed beliefs or behaviors – go to the gym, spend less, save more, eat less, travel, quit drinking and/or doing drugs, spend more time with family and friends (Side note: These are all impossible resolutions if one truly commits to spending more time with family and friends). For most, these resolutions quickly fall to the back burner.

I’ve actually never made any of these resolutions. At least, not wholeheartedly. I’ve thought about doing a few of them (those that I don’t already do) but never moved from the place of contemplation to completion. I blame this on my upbringing. When I was a child, I attended church with my family. It was often preached that thinking was the same as doing. I was a thinker, so I had ‘done a lot’ by the time I was baptized at the ripe age of eight. Fortunately, the baptism was meant to wash away all of my sins. Fortunately, like a freshly bathed dog, I ran right back outside and rolled in the dirt; or, at a minimum, I thought about doing it. I’ve been rolling in the dirt for many years now – keeping my wolf scent fresh.

Recently, I hosted a holiday party – something I used to do more frequently and have been thinking about doing for some time. I invited friends, a few family members, spent money, and ate and drank a lot. While some aim to put the ‘Christ’ in Christmas, I put my attention on the ‘mas.’ For those who don’t know, ‘mas’ is ‘more’ in Spanish and I’m all about more; especially if its a good thing.

After the party, I began the clean-up. I found a lot more alcohol and food than what was originally provided and I found a few more ‘gifts’: a couple of Loxitane (one was in my boot – a very European way to leave a gift), a pair of prescription sunglasses, and a set of keys.

A few days later, I went shopping and ended up buying way more than I really needed. When I returned home, I began unpacking the shopping bags and found another set of keys. I was beginning to think I was part of an unofficial key party.

I decided to research the symbolism behind keys and discovered a few ‘key’ things they represent: privileged access, freedom, knowledge, success, liberation, good dreams, authority, and power. I also learned about St. Martha and I discovered she and I share some common behaviors. She’s all about hospitality, isn’t afraid to speak her mind, respects a good broom, and is often portrayed with a set of keys.

I decided to take my research a little further and typed, ‘Who is better Mary Magdalene or Martha?’ My laptop, knowing me better than most, immediately auto populated, ‘Who is better Mary Magdalene or Martha’s Vineyard.’ Martha’s Vineyard for the win (coincidentally, ‘win’ always auto corrects to ‘wine’ and ‘Martha’s Vineyard’ auto corrects to ‘earth girls are easy’)! Martha, Martha, Martha’s Vineyard, I think I owe you a visit again. I’ll grab a set of keys and head your way.

  12. Hey folks,

    I’ve been diving into the world of internet gambling lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s a total blast. At first, I was a bit wary. I mean, how do you even believe in an online platform with your hard-earned money, right? But after spending hours researching (and trying out a few dodgy sites so you don’t have to), I figured out a few things that separate a reliable casino from a risky mess. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **regulation is key**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper regulatory certificate (like from the MGA or the UKGC), just close that tab. No bonus is worth the trouble of never seeing your funds again. Also — and I know no one wants to — read the T&Cs. That’s the only way to know what kind of wagering requirements they’ve slapped onto those so-called “juicy” bonuses.

    Now, let me share a site I’ve been using these last few weeks. It’s been a breath of fresh air. The interface? Super easy to navigate. Payouts? Fast as hell. And the game selection? *Insane*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some weird niche games I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: http://fdbbs.cc/home.php?mod=space&uid=689432&do=profile&from=space What really stood out was the customer service. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like no time. Compare that to other sites where you’re just shouting into the void — yeah, not worth it.

    Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some awesome ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just go crazy over promos. It’s smarter to go for fair terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and blow your whole paycheck — please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra cash and you’re looking for a chill way to spend an evening, online casinos can totally deliver. Just stay sharp, know your limits, and don’t treat it like a side hustle. It’s for fun, not for a paycheck. Anyway, just wanted to drop my experience here in case anyone’s curious or trying to find a good place to play. If you’ve got your own stories or even some horror tales, I’m all ears — love talking shop about this stuff.

    Good luck out there, and may the odds be ever in your favor ??

  25. Hey guys,

    I’ve been diving into the world of online casinos lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s way more exciting than I expected. At first, I was honestly suspicious. I mean, how do you even trust an online platform with your hard-earned money, right? But after spending hours researching (and trying out a few sketchy sites so you don’t have to), I figured out a few things that set apart a trustworthy casino from a complete fraud. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **check the license**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper license (like from the MGA or the UKGC), just run. No bonus is worth the gamble of never seeing your money again. Also — and I know no one wants to — check the terms. That’s the only way to know what kind of wagering requirements they’ve slapped onto those so-called “juicy” bonuses.

    Now, let me share a site I’ve been using these last few weeks. It’s been a breath of fresh air. The interface? Super smooth. Payouts? Quick — like 24 hours quick. And the game selection? *Wild*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some oddball options I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: http://inessa-ra.ru/blog/moya-zima-chast-4/ What really stood out was the support team. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like 10 minutes. Compare that to other sites where you’re just left hanging — yeah, hard pass.

    Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some legit ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just grab every shiny offer. It’s smarter to stick to reasonable terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and drop your rent money — please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra fun budget and you’re looking for a fun way to unwind, online casinos can totally deliver. Just keep your head on, set a budget, and don’t treat it like a side hustle. It’s for fun, not for a paycheck. Anyway, just wanted to drop my experience here in case anyone’s looking for solid info or trying to find a good place to play. If you’ve got your own stories or even some casino nightmares, I’m all ears — love talking shop about this stuff.

    Good luck out there, and spin smart, win big ??

  30. My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But
    he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am worried about switching
    to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into
    it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  41. Hey everyone,

    I’ve been diving into the world of virtual casinos lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s pretty damn addictive. At first, I was super skeptical. I mean, how do you even believe in an online platform with your hard-earned money, right? But after doing a ton of research (and trying out a few dodgy sites so you don’t have to), I figured out a few things that separate a trustworthy casino from a total scam.
