Dear Winifred; Jan. 1

Advice (NOT good!) column

Warning; advice given is NOT politically correct!

 

     "Dear Winifred, a new year is here, and I don't really have a question for you; I just wanted to wish you all the best for the upcoming year; signed Eternal Optimist."

 

     "Dear Eternal Optimist, new year, old year, it's not going to make any difference.  If you want to delude yourself that everything will magically improve because the calendar says it's a new year, you go right ahead; but I'll just stay back here in Reality Land, where I've still got rickets, and scurvy; well, not literally, but figuratively.  Not only is the glass half empty, but I'm slopping s**t out of it and ruining my shirt with red-colored reality; Winifred."

Some people look at the glass as half empty, some people look at it as half full. I look at it and think... is the glass big enough? excellent! :)

[Michael Stevens]

Ha, now why didn't I--err--Winifred think of that?

[Raymond Federle]

Dude..you need to put this on You Tube with your own channel...

[Michael Stevens]

Thank you, but I'm computerly-challenged about thing like that (I'm too stupid!)

[Michael Stevens]

I think I figured out how to do it, but I don't know how to upload a word document, without video, onto Youtube. I try to upload a Dear Winifred posting, but it says I cant, as it's the wrong format. I'm sure there's a way to do it, but I can't figure it out. Same with the picture I have of Winifred; I thought it would be nice for the reader to see what she looks like during every posting, but again, no go!

[Raymond Federle]

Yeah.. You Tube is a video format, like (wmv.) I use windows movie maker.. which came with your windows program and should be on your PC or laptop already. Then I add some pictures, background music and use windows sound recorder.. which is in there somewhere and add that sound file to the movie.. It's fairly simple. You can always google the info on how to do it as well. Check out my youtube channel to get some ideas about what and how things could look>>>> https://www.youtube.com/user/ghostmachine000

Oh, I've changed my mind about posting it, as I told you I was computerly-challenged; too fricking complex for me, but thanks for trying to help!
