Nifty Christmas Tips
Say No!
      Say no. That's right. Say no. You can only do so much. Obligations abound. Friends, family, church, clubs, work ... There are limits to what you can do. You deserve some rest this Christmas. Cut back on your projects. Say no that one extra job. Don't over commit yourself. They will find someone else. Understand that you are human, and give yourself a break. Christmas should also mean peace. And that's a good thing.

It is hard to pace ourselves, but say no! And remember, 'No' in binary is: 01001110 01001111. Just in case you have to turn down any computers or robots.

Because I love you, I'm going to ignore the one for Texan. (I assume it's because you think we're too dumb to know it's Christmas!) Anyway, Tech, Merry Thanks--Christmas, I mean! :)

SBB said...

Gloria, you're very intelligent, but I would like to point out that you moved to Texas. It hasn't had enough time to drain your mind! :)

I've learned that better this year than last. You'd be proud of me! :D

I reserve the right to say NO to posting and commenting, too, by the way! ;)

SBB said...

FF, I was proud of you until I read the last part of your reply, and now I'm just sad. Sigh. To use my tips against me ... sigh ...

SBB said...

Slim, I found a binary alphabet on the web and then put it together myself. I thought it was cool, too.
