Yes, it's Friday!
and it's a Friday the 13th.
Why are you still here?
Now either get back to work or go play.
Oh, heavens, just save your energy and make some mayhem tonight.
See ya tomorrow for the weekly recap.(or something like that)

Yeah, I know it sounds familiar-Tall Tales
Unfortunately, to some of you this will sound familiar but, I was editing this while something very similar was being discussed on the radio, and, well, I got nothing else.
When is it OK to take someone's work as your own?
This was a tweet that I felt the need to expand.
Now I know this is the internet/web, we 'share' stuff all the time
Most is 'shared' through 'kind permission granted'.(legalese..yes)
I try to give credit/link and if I can't find out who did it and really want to use it I say Thank you for letting me use it or don't use it.(I try to put from Drudge or whoever or I just retweet, so if you want it, you can go get it yourself. I've recently learned of MT or Modified Tweet where you retweet but change it a bit)
This is my policy what you do is up to you.
BUT
This morning while looking at twitter I noticed someone tweeted something I had already seen on an e-card on Pinterest.
This person was literally taking credit for someone's work as if it thought of this funny saying. I am not outing this person, so don't ask. I just quietly unfollow/mute/block. No Muss, No Fuss.
This person is not clever just a copier.
I've learned 'Cheaters never win and Winners never cheat', who knows where my mom got that one. ( a quick search only turned up “cheaters never prosper”... have fun looking...I've got other things to do). I'm still in a state of shock! I thought this person was witty but they are just quoting e-cards.
Heck I could have a ball if I didn't try to be original.
Now this is not the funny meme photos we all tweet that have a credit usually in corner so if you want to you can look up the site to see the original. This is as if you cropped the photo, removed the credit in the corner and tweeted the text as if you came up with it.
This also isn't using something as a 'jumping off point' to a story that you believe to be your original idea that 'sounds like' something someone else has done ie fanfiction (Blurred Lines...well...that ruling is scary because something 'sounds like'...but, I need to get 'the rest of the story')
Now we have all had those moments, where we all tweet basically the same thing.(I think it was some cosmic thing, we all synced together).
Be wise tweeps there are traitors and fakes among us.
They are not witty, just copiers and they will be outed in due time.
They usually out themselves.
Right now, I feel I must say if you are using my blog as a jumping off point.
Thanks and I'm flattered.
But(as usual, there is always a but)
Hire me(minimum wage perhaps, since I have no experience doing this) this is only a filler until I find a paying job(HA!).

Miracle Baby
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/03/10/police-cant-explain-the-mysterious-voice-that-they-claim-led-them-to-the-baby-girl-trapped-for-14-hours-in-frigid-waters/
Is this proof of life after death?
I believe quite possibly.
Do I believe the rescuers?
Yes.
Could the mom so love her baby that she called out to the rescuers even though she was dead?
Possibly. Yes.
In my life, I've learned there is, what I call the 'mystic'. You have a feeling or a nagging thought. Does it make sense...hmm, no. Someday it may make sense but, at the moment, it doesn't.
I believe God grants certain mercies. A mother who so loved her child that God allowed her to remain to protect her child until help found her. God after all created Mary the Mother of Jesus, so, he knows of the love a mother feels for her child.
Maybe this is God's way of saying to all of us 'I'm right here' and 'Believe and it is so'
From what I see in the messages we all have similar feelings
God Bless
Still believing in miracles

Is it Spring... Yet?
Seriously,
why don't you believe me when I say it's getting warmer out.
The above photo is from
http://boston.cbslocal.com/2015/03/09/giant-icebergs-wash-ashore-on-cape-cod/Oh, so now it's Climate Change.
So it might get colder?
Damn, I was promised this would be beachfront property back in the 90's or at least a decent temperature in the winter. I was planning on having yard parties in January. They lied to me.
Actually, for a time I did believe in Global Warming, that is until I moved to Upstate NY. Pretty much every year it has gotten colder...the few years it didn't turn frigid(I rejoiced because it reminded me of NYC.)
Are humans to blame...dunno(don't know)
But considering we broke records in this area, some of which were set over 100 years ago
http://www.syracuse.com/weather/index.ssf/2015/02/february_2015_weather_syracuse_coldest_month_on_record_northeast.html
Hmm? Still trying to figure it all out, while freezing my butt off!

I don't wanna be
I don’t want to be who I believe I am meant to be.
I know it makes no sense.
But this is me
I don’t want to be a blogger
I don’t want to be hated and reviled
BUT...
Believe me, I've been trying to avoid becoming a blogger(I look through the paper each week. Nothing. Oh, there are some jobs...more on this in an upcoming blog).
I don’t want to be the MarieJo Show.
Crazy right? I don’t want to be this woman at all.
But this is me.
I once heard Glenn Beck say something very similar.
I keep hearing write when I ask for guidance.(yeah, I know hearing voices...umm...okay, as everyone now backs away from the screen)
You've kept reading good...
As of today we will meet here for my quasi-daily rants and raves(I've learned that blogs need only be as long as I need. So, some days it may just be a really long tweet)
Yeah, I know... you're looking at the screen going, really? Well, let's just say this is my new job until I get an actual paying job...ha!
Here Goes Nothing...
