Your Daily Dose

Hi everyone! Happy Monday!! Hope you all had a nice weekend.

Here is today’s post: Dulled

You encounter a mysterious man offering you a magic potion that, once sipped, will make one of your senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch) super sharp — but dull the others. Will you sip it, and if so, what sense do you choose?

Well Well…this is an interesting question indeed! Each sense is very important to me and I use each of them for what they need to be used for. So which one would I choose to be enhanced?

Let’s see. If I chose hearing, I could hear things that were said in a whisper. If I chose sight, I could see things at a great distance, or even see through objects (like x-ray vision). This is a hard call for me.

I think the one I would choose is touch. Here is the reason, and this gets into the sci-fi realm a bit. I once saw an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, where there was this alien character on the show who, by just touching a person, healed all of their ailments. I would love to have that ability to cure people like that (I tend to be a big hugger anyways, so that would just enhance it). It would be great to kill two birds with one stone too..to hug someone AND to cure them of any ailment that they would have!

Okay everyone. That’s it for today.

Which one would you choose?

Until next time!

Hi everyone. I hope you had a nice Sunday. I hope you also had some good weather. Here in New York, it’s cloudy and rainy with showers and thunderstorms at times.

Anyways, here is today’s post: Helping hand
Tell us about the most surprising helping hand you’ve ever received.

This is another interesting one. These Daily Prompts are pretty interesting (which is probably why I do them )

So let me see here. I’ve received lots of help from my friends and family…ranging from emotional support to financial support and everywhere in between. All of the help that I’ve received has been necessary, for the most part, and none of it really surprising.

However, there was one time that I was kinda surprised that I received any help from anyone.

I had gone through a very traumatic event and I had fallen into a deep depression over what had happened. At the time, most of my friend didn’t know how to help me with what I was going through, so they didn’t do anything. Some just dropped me as a friend because they didn’t know how to handle what I was going through.

There was this one friend tho who never gave up on me. Despite my protests (and believe me, I did..) he always called me, brought me food and even got me to leave my house when no one else could. This guy literally brought me back to life.

Now, yes this was very unexpected and surprising, given that most of my friends stood back and watched.

Anyways, that’s it for this post.

Until next time people!

Hi everyone. Hope all is well with you and that you are having a nice weekend so far. I’m thrilled to be bringing you another episode of ‘Your Daily Dose!’

Here is today’s post: Feed Your Senses

Write down the first sight, sound, smell, and sensation you experienced on waking up today. Pick the one you’re most drawn to, and write. (For a bigger challenge, pick the one you’re least drawn to.)

Hmm. This one should be interesting. The absolute first thing I look at is my PlayBook that is sitting on my bed. My alarm is on there and I have to look at it to be able to turn off the alarm, but that is for a very short moment, but this takes mere seconds.

In reality, The major first sight that I’m drawn to is my computer screen’s screen saver with the time on it(because my laptop sits on a chair directly opposite my bed). For some reason, whenever I get up, after I say the customary prayer of ‘Modeh Ani’ for thanking G-D for restoring my Soul to my body and giving me another chance and another day to live life, my eyes always make a beeline to my spinning clock on my laptop.

Until next time everyone!

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all had a nice week and that you are looking forward to a nice weekend.

Here is today’s post: Too Big To fail

Tell us about something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail (and tell us why you haven’t tried it yet).

Now this is an interesting one. There are lots of things that I would choose to do if I were guaranteed not to fail. However, one thing tho, sticks out in my mind for sure. This is something that I’ve tried during my life before, but it did not work out as I had planned, and I am still feeling the repercussions of it until this very day.

What happened with this event, is that I rushed into doing it, and felt like I was forced in a way to do it. I didn’t realize, at the time, that what I was feeling inside of me was the correct feeling and what I was feeling externally was not.

I’ve been in many situations like that before throughout my life, and I’m sure I’ll continue to have situations like that.

My only hope is that if, G-D forbid, a situation like that arises again, that I will be able to see through the fog that is blocking me from making, what I feel, is the correct decision.

This, I know, takes a lifetime of work to accomplish….

Have a nice weekend everyone.

Until next time!

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great week. My Holiday came and went…and boy did it go by quickly! It felt like it just started! But the good news is…it’s almost the weekend!

Anyways, here is today’s post: Memories for Sale

On a weekend road trip, far away from home, you stumble upon a garage sale in a neighborhood you’re passing through. Astonished, you find an object among the belongings for sale that you recognize. Tell us about it.

This is an interesting one. There are lots of things that I could choose to find that I recognize at a garage sale..from cellphones, to books, to video game consoles to computers. Lots of things.

The object that I find is one that throws me back to my childhood in a very big way. This is something that I have not seen for quite some time. That object is an old Apple II GS. I had a 5.25 in disk drive and a 3.5 inch disk drive..plus a dot matrix Apple printer. I used to love playing with that thing. Ahh..the Carmen Sandiego games…(where in the world, where in time, where in the US..). I used to play with the GSOS. What was that? It was like the Macintosh desktop, with the icons. It was the GUI.

Then there was Apple Basic. I used to program on that thing (via a book, of course). Ah. Fun times.

I only had the II GS for 2-4 years. Then I upgraded to a Macintosh PowerBook Duo 230 (with docking station). That lasted me through high school and some of my early college years. I had tons of memories on that thing also, from the games, to the sounds that came with the OS. Does anyone here remember BBSes and modems? I used to have a 300 baud modem and the upgraded to a 14.4.

Anyways, I’ve rambled on long enough.

Until next time!
