This is the replay of the last LEO Glossary Update for the month of March 2024

Trying something a little different today. Recorded a video on my phone to post as a 3Short

Good Morning!
Here is the recording of last night's livestream with @taskmaster4450. We talked about the possibilites for growing
your account by helping to build some of the other projects on INLEO.
There is no limit to what you can share to help grow the database.
Just a hint! Video is KING.

This is the recording of the Monday update from February 19th with @taskmaster4450.
The internet wasn't exactly reliable at the hotel we were staying at in El Paso, Texas so we didn't do an update on
the 26th.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/rmuvjqwy
This morning Roy and I woke up and decided that it made more sense to fly to El Paso for his sister's funeral. We are going to get there Sunday night the same as we would have if we went by car. The arrangements are falling into place.
One of the reasons we chose to not drive is because we learned that until Roy is officially designated as the Executor of his sister's will we cannot take anything out of house.
We were going to load up the car with some household items.
What we can do is meet with the lawyer and the real estate agent and get the inventory done for everything that is in the house.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/tormbdco
We had a nice talk Monday night. Alot of it was centered on growing the #musiconleo database but we spent some
time talking about LEOGlossary in general as well.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/rxhdrpkj
This is the first in a hopefully regular Monday series that we will be doing on Monday nights.
Here are a couple of links to learn more about what these projects are:

It's a bright sunny day here in Southeast, WI
Temps in the low 40s Farenheit.
Not usual for this time of year.
Not much going on today.
Just doing laundry and working online.
Probably will watch a movie later
Tomorrow I will have @taskmaster4450 cohosting on my livestream and it will be in the evening
We will be talking about various things related to LEO Glossary and #musiconleo

Dad is in Madison with my sister for a week.
So, it's a vacation for all of us.
I was able to get some work done before we took him to meet my sister at the half way spot between our homes.
Then his hearing aids started acting up.
Unfortunately we were not able to get them to work before we had to leave.
Gave my sister a heads up. This isn't the first time that has happened.
Now it's time to get back to work
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/ypyxyocx
Tried to do my Friday Buy Day fiat
investment for Hive tokens.
For whatever reason Coinbase was unable to fulfill my requests to buy LITECOIN.
This hasn't happened before.
I tried using Transak again to see what would happen and that transaction hasn't gone through either.
More than a little frustrating.
I'd be a little less aggravated if I knew what was going on so that I could find a way to resolve the issue if possible.
I'm a bit of a control freak and I hate not knowing what's going on.
This didn't happen with Coinbase till today.
Before this I was listening to the Lions Den on X spaces
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/aokbkfac
I was listening to the CryptoManiacs podcast that started at 3 pm EST
Starting a new month and ready to
bump up the numbers for #playlists on #musiconleo using my alt account.
Here is a #thread from @taskmaster4450le with the stats from January
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/uaqubgak
Jon explains why in the video
It's good news
I am sharing the #threadcast here with the replay of the show
Jon shared some ideas for creating flow content to fill the INLEO feed with great threads.
Some examples:
Ask a question
Share an experience, good or bad
Hold contests
Share free resources
Create Lead Magnets
Those are just a few.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/pttdlzrt
Now that I have the invite guest link from Restream sorted out.
Those updates will most likely be in the evening
First day of the Tax Season Receptionist gig today.
Only today this week though.
Next week the real fun starts
Now I have to adjust my lighting for no natural light from outdoors.

Hello,
As you can see from the video in the background we were by Lake Michigan on Saturday to shoot some videos.
There were beach hazard warnings so noone was supposed to be in the water.
Having a nice and restful Sunday.
And still getting some work done.
Not sure if I will be here on Monday.
Meeting a friend for lunch at noon CST.
We try to get together once a month to keep in touch and catch up.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/zenxeakq
Just doing Saturday stuff. Posted my weekly update.
First time I did it using LEO front end.
Always good to learn something new.
Went out after this video and took a couple videos down by the lake.
Lots of waves and the weather was pretty nice.
Stopped at the store to pick up a couple things after that and went home.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/cjbkxzbe
The storm from Thursday night brought a pleasant change in the weather.
We were able to open the windows and shut off the AC.
Still not looking forward to the electric bill for next month.
We had rotisserie chicken with mushroom risotto and broccoli and a nice white wine for dinner.
And watched the Godzilla movie from 1998 with Matthew Broderick and Hank Azaria.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/amvdgeqh
Yesterday afternoon we went out to take care of a couple of errands. The Piggly Wiggly, one of the grocery stores around here,
had chickens on sale for 99 cents a pound and cake mixes at 2 for 3 dollars. Stopped at Aldi as well to see if they still
had the filters that are compatible with the Brita pitcher. No, they didn't. So, I ordered them on Amazon this morning.
Had a nice storm last night so the temperatures dropped quite a bit with the front coming through.
Thankfull for that.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/oubhatty
This is a continuation of sorts from my video on Tuesday. Talking about my experiences with messing up my
finances more than once and having to get bailed out. Once by filing bankruptcy and the other by my husband.
I am a hard learner. A bit stubborn too.
That is good and not so good.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/akcykrwq
One of the things I talk about in this livestream is the need for people to be responsible about their spending habits.
In my mind setting up a Go Fund Me campaign to ask people for money to catch up on your house payments when you have pets and other things you can't really afford is not right.
Not something I would do. I am pretty sure there are going to be people who disagree with me on this but that's okay.
I might come across as judgemental and that's okay too.
I feel like we live in a society that enables people to be irresponsible with their finances.
And I am not saying that I haven't done so in the past and been bailed out more than once. It was pretty embarassing for me to have to do that.
I go out of my way now to make sure that will not happen again.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/jucnrnaa
I was out all day on Sunday and took the day off. We were at a family picnic. It was very nice but being outside kind
of wore me out. Too much sun and fresh air and food.
Not much new going on this week.
But still wanted to pop by and check in with a short video.
Have a great rest of your day.

Hello!
Happy Friday! Got those cards with the QR code made yesterday.
Picked them up at the printer.
My Dad saw them and didn't really understand how people would know what to do with the QR code. I showed him that I put the URL underneath so they'd know what it was about.
He thought they'd have the title of the book printed across the top. Which is funny because he saw the sample before I sent it to the printer and said it was good.
I did that post this morning with the demo for creating QR codes in Canva and you don't have to pay for them. That is the link to the post

Hello Everyone and Happy Sunday!
I was late to get my livestream done and then I forgot to post it to Hive.
Oh Boy!
While my Dad and sisters were on the weekly family video call on FB, Roy and I were meeting with the landscaper to
get a quote for some more yardwork.
Not enough needed to be done and what they would do was going to cost as much as a plumbing repair bill we just got.
Taking a hard pass this time.
The yard looks good enough. And good enough is good enough.
Have a great day

This is the unboxing video made at the request of my sisters to document when the books arrived.
It is on YouTube as well.
We had to do the video twice because nothing recorded the first time.
Been awhile since I did any video recordings
He was so excited.
I had to get the box in the house fast because it was raining and yucky out the day it arrived
It's a pretty short video. Just under 3 minutes.
He is very excited.
And he is getting the results he hoped for
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/xwxkmmvv
Last night I did a livestream to open up the 25 CHAOS packs I had.
I was going to hold on to them to see if they would keep increasing in value but I changed my mind.
It was a bit of a process getting to the point of going live to open the packs.
And I didn't end up going live on Hive because I didn't remember until after I did the live stream that I still had the streaming key from my other account in the settings on Restream!
Anyway, I wanted to buy potions first. I didn't have enough DEC in the game so I was going to use Paypal and buy credits. Unfortunately I didn't have my ID verified in Splinterlands yet. I tried to do that but evidently the pictures of my drivers license that I uploaded weren't good enough. I had already bought some Litecoin in Coinbase so I sent that to Blocktrades and got Hive. Couldn't use the Swap feature in Hivepay.io because there wasn't enough liquidity. Ended up depositing my Hive right onto Hive Engine using the button on there that @jongolson pointed out. Oh, that's what that's for! Okay! Done.
Bought my DEC and sent them to Splinterlands. Luckily I bought enough because I thought I had a total of 23 packs with the two I had in the game and the ones in my Hive-Engine wallet. That's what happens when I don't do this stuff often enough to remember how it works. I had a total of 25 CHAOS packs to open. As you'll see I ended up with a few really nice cards.
Time to look at the rental market and see what they're going for.
Another way to build some passive income.
And next time I go live and want to post to Hive I will make sure I have the correct streaming key in my settings.

The Custom Blur feature in the YouTube editing area is not at all user-friendly. I tried a few times to use it for obscuring my personal profile information in my Pizza Plan members area.
Finally after waiting forever for my video to be processed for the third time only to find out that the blurring didn't work, I asked in the Telegram group about the best way to get that done.
That is when @blainjones answered and told me to just create a junk account with fake information.
I can do that. I am the owner after all. I am so new that I must have forgotten that I have seen that before at some point.
I was able to get my tutorial done and posted. It was very easy after learning that.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/knuwrcvl
Today on his CTPCHAT post for July 21st, @jonolson asked us to share on the blockchain what we are working on right now!
This morning, with the help of @slackerman, @blainjones, and @elianaicgomes, I was able to fix an error on a link in my safelist emails for List Nerds that was causing my lead capture page to not show up.
Steven shared the error with me, Eliana and Blain pointed out that the error was in the html coding and Blain also showed me how to fix the coding so that the page would show up correctly and how to fix the spacing in the letters.
Now I have fixed all of them and they look much better than they did.
I am also working on an ebook lead magnet!
This afternoon I was playing around on Canva with a Title and cover image.
I will be sending an email out to my list for the My 1440 project with a survey so that they can vote on the Title.
Tonight is our Wednesday night Click Track Profit Inner Circle Mastermind session.
I always look forward to them.
Have a great day and See you Again Soon!

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone!
I am creating this video to answer a question from @jongolson in his CTPchat post for today!
Here is a link to that post:
https://ctptalk.com/hive-119826/@ctpchat/ctp-chat-for-july-19th-2021
His question for today's chat post asks what we do each Monday to prepare ourselves for the week ahead.
In all honesty that isn't what I do. I use my Simpleololgy Start My Day tool to brainstorm the tasks I will need to get done for the day including appointments for my Dad and household stuff and business tasks.
The change I have made to that is do the Morning Brainstorm the night before to be ready to start the next day! I have been using Simpleology for just over 2 years now.
I recently bought the book which is next on my reading list
Another cool way you can add tasks to the Dreamcatcher is by text message and/or email. They have mobile app for Android and iPhone users who are also Simpleology Elite Members.
Like I said in the video, I am happy using the Free version for the time being. It has plenty of features for what I need.

Today is Day 3 of the #SummerReset Challenge by Darren Hardy!
We are reading The Compound Effect and for Day 3 we are on Chapter 3 which is titled Habits!
Did you ever notice that when you are trying to prove something or have an enemy to fight that you work harder to reach your goals?
That has worked for me more than once.
When someone tells me that I can't do something and/or laughs at me it makes me that much more determined to succeed.
Darren talks about this in the section of the chapter Find Your Fight!
In the video here I am relating the story of my decision/choice to enlist in the Navy when I was 19. I actually started boot camp after I turned 20.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/jwjenhzr
Every Monday-Friday, @jongolson posts a CTPchat post to get engagement from all of us in the tribe and beyond.
This last Monday, 6/14, he asked us what our goals are for the next five days.
I replied with 5 goals. I am a little more than half way done so not sure if I will finish. But I will get closer.
These posts are a great way to get your feet wet when you're new to CTP and Hive and just learning your way around. Come in here and comment and upvote and interact with the other people who leave comments here. It may give you ideas to get your own posts started.
Yesterday I spent most of the day away from my computer. I managed to get a couple of tasks done before I left in the morning.
We took my Dad for another test for his double vision issue. He has started to wear his patch again. The result of the test will determine if he is brain and his eyes are going to be able to work together and merge the two images into one.
Did a few other things when we got back into town but....
I was not going to miss my Inner Circle Mastermind Meeting with my CTP friends and mentors.
We discussed the secrets in Section 2 (Fill Your Funnel) of the Traffic Secrets Book by Russell Brunson.
Section 2 covers Secrets 8-15. Secrets 8& 9 are about how to fill your funnels organically (working your way in) and with paid ads (buying your way in).
In Secrets 10-13 he talks about using the four big platforms (2 social and 2 search), Instagram, Facebook, Google, and YouTube to reach your audience.
In these chapters he lays out a six step framework that is used in all the platforms but tweaked to fit the purpose and goals of each one.
Also, he stresses the importance of starting slowly and learning one platform well before you move onto the next.
Last night one of the things we talked about was things I need to be doing for the My1440 project. Namely focusing all my energy on building it! First thing on that is building my list and promoting My1440 and only my1440.
Blain fixed my image for my flavicon on the My1440 website. If you don't know what that is, it is the image you see on the tabs of the post and pages on your website that identifies you with your logo or picture. On my other site I have my picture because it is a site I am building with my name domain.
For the My1440.today site I gave him the .ai image with my logo and he pulled out the alarm clock and created a .png and sent me that in Telegram so I could use that for my flavicon image instead of the entire logo that was squished down and didn't look right.
I also got to see some of Jon's Splinterlands journey and his card collection. Quite impressive! He shared his screen while he opened a pack of cards he recently purchased. There is so much about that I still don't understand. It was fun watching him though.
So, it was another great and productive meeting and so grateful to have the kind of help and support I am getting in the Click Track Profit Inner Circle.
Now I need to buckle down and do the work!

Hello! Today is the 15th of June so that means it is time to spin the prize wheel for this month's winner of the #My1440Mug.
This contest is part of a larger project I am working on to help people who struggle with the feeling that they don't have enough time to build a business online.
I was inspired to start the project last fall when I heard Jon Olson and Blain Jones, who are the co owners of Click Track Profit and my first two interviewees for the project. They were talking about how we all have 1440 minutes in each day.
I have done several interviews and the audio recordings had been uploaded to Anchor.fm as podcast episodes. I am always looking for more people to talk with who would like to share their entrepreneurial journey and how they invest their 1440 minutes each day.
My goal is to share tools tips and techniques to help people get the most out of their 1440 minutes in each day by sharing My1440 journey.
I do one giveaway a month to thank people who have subscribed to my list, given me an interview, or engaged with me in one or more ways on Social Media!
- leave your hive username in a Telegram DM to me @lisamgentile or message me on Discord lisamgentile #0730
or 2. subscribe to the My1440 list at: https://www.trker.com/go/136009
Enter before Midnight PST on the 14th of each month to be eligible for that month's wheel spin and each one going forward until you win.
And the winner of this month's mug is: Erik Gustafsson who is also known as @flaxz and is the creator of the Alive Tribe, the I Am Alive Challenge and the Luke Is Alive Challenge. Congratulations, Erik!
One of the pages on the My1440.today website is the #My1440Mug-shots page I just created the page today. I am looking forward to seeing many more mug shots on there in the future.
Thanks to Rob Willmann @robwillmann who gave me the idea for this page to recognize people who have won or bought a #My1440Mug. All you need to do to get on this page is to send me a selfie with you holding your #My1440Mug.
Have a great day everyone and see you again soon!

Hello and Happy Thursday!
Today I went to pick my Dad up to take him to a Doctor's appointment. He stopped driving recently because of his eyesight issues so my husband and I are taking him where he needs to go.
On the way to the appointment he was telling me that he spent 3 hours yesterday out in his backyard pulling weeds and picking up branches. He has a padded bench that he uses to kneel on that has handles so he can pull himself back up again. He was anxiously waiting for the weather too cool off again so he could be outside.
Another of his hobbies is baking breads that he uses to give to people for gifts. He and Mom used to do that together and he has continued it even after she passed away last year. She would do the baking and he would wrap and label the breads with the flavors. And he cleans up the kitchen after himself. You'd never know he was cooking or baking when he is finished.
There are two flights of stairs in the house from the basement where most of the time is spent, to the second floor. He goes up and down the stairs several times a day just to be moving and not sitting in the chair for hours on end.
He still does his own laundry and hangs clothes to dry and folds and puts them away. He makes his bed everyday. He has a cleaning lady that they hired after Mom got sick and they couldn't really do as much anymore but when Roy and I move in we will be taking that on.
I know it sounds like bragging and maybe it is. But I am just inspired by watching Dad move forward and not giving up. I also love that he is not afraid to speak his mind if something is bothering him or he has a question about anything.
So, if my Dad, a 90 year old man, knows how to invest his time and not just spend it sitting in a chair watching TV all day, then my excuses for not getting done what I need to do are blown apart. Nuked, really!
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and read this post.
A couple of reminders:
Tonight is Click Track Profit's Thursday Night Live Webinar with Jon Olson and Blain Jones where we talk and learn about all things Affiliate Marketing related and how they tie in with Crypto and the Hive blockchain.
They are livestreaming here on their Vimm Channel at 8 p.m. EST

On Tuesday June 15th @ 3:30 EST I am doing another Wheel Spin for the winner of this month's #My1440Mug
If you have already subscribed to the My1440 list or engaged with me on any other social media platform and have not won yet your name is on the wheel for this drawing.
If you haven't entered yet you still have time.
You have until midnight PST on June 14th to:
- leave your hiveusername here in the chat or in a Telegram DM to me @lisamgentile
or 2. subscribe to the My1440 list at: https://www.trker.com/go/136009
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/psuocjec
I am commited to learning new things because as an entrepreneur you can't have too many tools in your toolbox.
Yesterday for the first time I tried using OBS to Livestream on Vimm but what I didn't realize was that I had to post to Hive while I was in the stream.
And I didn't record it on OBS so so I had nothing there when I was done.
So, @elianaicgomes showed me where the setting was on OBS to record automatically when the livestream begins.
That was super helpful. Thanks again, Eliana! And thanks to Jon Olson and @clicktrackprofit for letting me know my livestream made it to Hive.
We also tested the Giveaway button. You can draw a name from the attendees on the livestream and give the winner a prize.
Today, @maddogmike won a #My1440Mug in the spur of the moment drawing.
So, I have an alternative to spinning the wheel of names which I will do again on the 15th of this month.
@russellstockley won last month's drawing and his mug is on the way to Australia.

Spending at least 15 minutes a day reading a good business book is an important and great habit to develop.
But, what if you're just not a reader or you feel like you don't have the time?
Well, remember we all have 1440 minutes in our day and we are responsible for how we allocate that time.
Part of those 1440 minutes should be allocated for personal development.
I got an email the other day or saw an ad here on FB. Can't recall which at the moment. It was for a website called Readitfor.me.
The offer I saw was for a full year of a pro membership for free to a pretty large library of business book summaries. So the no money excuse is eliminated as well. At least for the next year.
I signed up for an account and most of the summaries are around 15 min.
I just finished listening to a summary of Atomic Habits by James Clear.
I will most likely be purchasing the book to read it all the way through.
I also subscribe to a newsletter by James Clear called 3-2-1 Thursday! It is a motivational and inspirational newsletter.
And in the interest of full disclosure I need one more referral to get access to The Great Speeches pdf. But it won't cost you anything. The newsletter is FREE! If you subscribe and share it and get 3 referrals you can get the same book.
https://jamesclear.com/3-2-1/may-20-2021?rh_ref=1dbcb29c
I am not sure if they have an affiliate program for Readitfor.me .
Here is the link: https://pro.readitfor.me/
Another cool thing is that you can listen to the summary of the book before you buy it.
Don't forget about tonight's Crypto Monday webinar on the FB page of Click Track Profit!

We narrowly avoided the loss of a couple of afghans that my grandmother crocheted.
They got thrown in the dumpster because my Dad handed them to me in a garbage bag and didn't tell me what they were.
Had my sister not called and asked me about them last night they would have been lost forever as of today. That was just too CLOSE!
When we talked this morning he was very apologetic. But I could have asked what was in the bag or when my husband asked what was in the bag I could have checked instead of assuming it was garbage.
Lesson learned.
Making assumptions can cause problems.
Lucky this time it didn't!
Tomorrow I will be doing the wheel spin for the winner of this month's My 1440 Mug Prize.
See my post from Wednesday to get the details for how to enter: https://peakd.com/hive-119826/@lisamgentile1961/bhhsxyly
I will post the exact time tomorrow because I will be helping my husband with a repair job on my Dad's dishwasher. That should be fun.
Fingers crossed it goes smoothly.
Enjoy the rest of your Friday and Have a great weekend!

Getting good results so far from my campaign of sending out 37 thank you messages to my list subscribers with personalized videos.
I did this on a website called Bonjoro.
It is free and they have paid subscriptions as well.
I sent out 37 messages total between Monday and yesterday. Of the 37 that were delivered, 32% of the emails were opened, 83% of those were watched, 40% were liked, 10% were clicked, and 11% replied. That is just over 2 days. I did get one reply outside of Bonjoro.
One of my subscribers contacted me in a private message on Telegram to ask a question.
I was advised and encouraged to try this by Jon Olson, @jongolson during a coaching call we had last week on Wednesday.
We were talking about doing a little something different in for my list subscribers along with the normal emails series that is being added to every month.
I did have to enter all my contacts manually because my autoresponder service is not able to integrate with Bonjoro and the .csv file I tried to upload wouldn't work either.
I have since found the instructions for uploading the .csv file so I will give that a try again.
Today is the 2nd day of Step 1 of the Goal Setting Guinea Pig Challenge. This morning I brainstormed and wrote down 10 goals that I would like to accomplish this year.
I am doing that every morning for 14 days to find 3 things I should be focusing on in my business.
Just a reminder that this coming Saturday, the 15th, is the day I will spin the prize wheel for the winner of this month's My 1440 Mug
Subscribe and Confirm your subscription to the My1440 list by Midnight PST on Friday the 14th and your name will be on the prize wheel for this month's wheel spin
Happy to say that Rosyel, @iamraincrystal got her mug the other day. She won the wheel spin for April 15th. She lives in the Philippines so it took almost a month but it got there.
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=lisamgentile1961/rssrswkk
For the next 14 Days I am going to be going through Step 1 of the Goal Setting Guinea Pig Challenge.
Each day for the next two weeks I will be writing down in my journal 10 goals that I want to achieve over the next year.
The rule is to not look at what I wrote the day before.
There is a reason for this.
After the 14 days, I will be looking at what my 10 goals were and which ones keep coming up toward the top.
The top 3 that keep showing up are the ones I will be focusing on until they are completed.
The journal that I have had for 30 years and have written in mostly inconsistently will finally get some regular use.
Tonight is Crypto Monday! Jon, @jongolson, will be live streaming at 8 p.m. EST on the Click Track Profit Facebook Page and Vimm.tv on the blockchain.
This is where we learn about everything going on in the world of Crypto currency and the blockchain(s).
Come and join us to learn about what we're doing with Crypto and Blockchains and why as an online entrepreneur you really need to be involved in this.

Today I am applying what I have learned so far from the OBS course I have been taking on Udemy!
OBS or Open Broadcaster Software is a free open source software that allows you to record video and livestream to a number of different platforms.
I watched some YouTube videos and I also chose to invest in a paid course to learn how to use this software. They were having a pretty big sale on Udemy which was definitely an incentive.
I am about half way through the lessons and I wanted to take some time to apply what I have learned so far by using it to do a live stream to my Facebook business page.
It took me a good hour to play around and get it set up.
I think it was well worth the time and effort invested.
I also wanted to share a couple of cool things I got this week.
The first is a Thank You letter with some nice CTP Stickers. from Jon Olson, co-owner of Click Track Profit.
A few weeks ago on one of the Click Track Profit webinars Jon said that if we sent him a direct message with our mailing address he would send us stickers.
I haven't decided where I am putting them yet.
The second cool thing is an NFT that I won for being in the top 15 of a CTP staking challenge run by Achim Beda.
Achim owns and runs the CTP Swarm Booster tribe.
We just finished the 3rd Staking Challenge.
I staked around 1053 CTP tokens over a two-week time period.
And I finally learned how to create an avatar using Bitmoji.
I like it because it has an extension for the desktop Chrome browser.

This week went by way too fast! I didn't get as much done as I would have liked but I did manage to go live 3 times.
I will be back on Monday with another video.
Last night we were at my Dad's house to help move a dresser out and some older window air conditioner units that my Dad was giving away.
Another reason for being there was to make it possible for Dad to watch the virtual version of an event that he and Mom attended in person from 2012 to
2019 before COVID.
We were going to watch it on his computer but realized that since he has an Amazon Firestick (that my sister bought for him) we could get on the internet with it and we could all watch it on TV where we would be able to see it much better.
I shared the link to the event because in the beginning, the Prior Provincial of the Midwest Augustinians, who is also a very close and long time family friend, Father Tony Pizzo, delivers a few opening comments about adapting to changing conditions and an opening prayer for the event.
It's a great message. The event itself is over an hour. And it was very nice. I watched the whole thing with Dad because of our connection to the people involved.
Tomorrow we will be spending a large part of the day at the house. It is fortunate to be able to start moving smaller stuff over there ahead of time. And we can then get a more clear idea of how large a storage unit we will have to rent.
Have a great weekend!

This morning I watched a few more lessons in the course I signed up for on Udemy to learn how to use OBS.
OBS stands for Open Broadcaster Software. It is free and open-source software that is used to record and/or stream video.
I am not quite halfway through watching the course. I have been pausing the lessons and doing the steps as I go.
There is a ton there to learn.
One of the lessons was for the various settings. I need to learn more about what my computer can do along with all of this.
I have been too much of an end user. Like as long as it works, I don't really pay attention.
In order to do the settings I should know at least a little something more about my equipment capabilities.
Udemy is a great place to take online courses to update your skills or get new ones. And if you have a course of your own you can teach on the platform as well.
It is like Lynda.com. Well now it is called Linked In Learning. I have a free subscription to Lynda with my public library card. The only difference is I have to pay extra if I want the certificates.
I was also going through my expenses and cleaning out email inboxes. This is an ongoing project.
So, now I am going to be leaving for the rest of the afternoon and evening. Have some work to do over at my Dad's house and having supper there too.

I wasn't here yesterday!
We took Dad to the Eye Surgeon for an unscheduled follow-up from his surgery on the 9th of this month.
He was concerned about his double vision not being more improved.
The Dr. reassured him that the correction is as it is supposed to be and it is now up to him to get his eyes and brain working together to bring those images together.
He was wearing his eye patch again and she told him that it is one of the reasons why his eyes won't work together.
In other news, I am auditing my online business budget. Trimming fat that no longer serves my needs. Which deletes more stress from my life.
After all it's only an investment if you're actually using it.
