@cowgirl7094 I normally reply within a day or two, but seeing how this is my busiest time of year for work, I don't get much free time to do much of anything. The late fall and winter are my downtime, and that is when I post most of my content here on Pandora. You may or may not be aware of the posts that I curate here on Pandora, but if you were to put my name in the "Search the community" bar at the top, it will show you what I post here.  For future reference, try not to respond to some of the haters that post here once in a while; it is not worth your energy or time to respond to such hateful nonsense. The curators will deal with those types.  On a more positive note, I'm doing fine, staying busy with work and trying to get some good quality reading time in because I love to read. I also love spending time with my two cats that I took in who were strays, Buddy and Miss Kitty. I hope all is going well for you. Have a blessed night and a great week. Take care, @cowgirl7094, and GOD bless. ... View more

Good Thursday morning, and afternoon friend. Today, we are going to learn what is weird but true about the great state of. Enjoy the facts and the read.  Utah. 1.) Famous people with Utah connections include Post Malone, Robert Redford, Katherine Heigl, Mike LookinLand (from the Brady Bunch), The Osmonds, Jewel, David Archuleta, James Wood, Derek Hough, Roseann Barr, Brandon Sanderson, Chrissy Teigen, Ken Jennings, and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake.  2.) Utah is home to the Great Salt Lake, which is the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere. 3.) The most generous state in America is Utah, which ranks first for the highest percentage of population who donate time, donated income, volunteer rate, and volunteers per capita. 4.) Over 2/3 of Utah land is owned by the United States' federal government. 5.) Kanab, Utah, is also known as “Little Hollywood” because over 100 movies (mostly Westerns) and many TV series have been filmed there since 1924. Famous movies include Stagecoach, The Lone Ranger, Gunsmoke, Planet of the Apes, The Outlaw Josey Wales, and Sergeants 3. 6.) Two dates appear on Utah’s state seal: 1847, the date Mormon settlers arrived in Utah, and 1896, the year Utah became the 45th state. Also on the seal are sego lilies, which stand for peace and are the state flower. 7.) Utah is the only state to have a cooking pot among its state symbols. The Dutch oven was approved as a state symbol by the legislature in 1997. 8.) Walter Frederick Morrison, the man credited with inventing the Frisbee, was born in Richfield, Utah. He said he got the idea for the “Pluto Platter” after throwing cake tins on the beach. 9.) In Utah, there is a town called “Levan.” Levan is “navel” backwards—and Levan is in the center, or is the “navel,” of Utah. 10.) Because of the state of Utah’s high elevation and desert-like climate, its snow is dry and powdery. Hence, Utah claims to have the “Greatest Snow on Earth.” 11.) Utah is home to the United States' first department store, Zions Co-operative Mercantile Institution. Today, it is known as ZCMI. 12.) With 31% of the population under the age of 18, Utah has the youngest population in the United States. It also has the highest birth rate in the nation. 13.) Utah's Arches National Park has the highest concentration of natural stone arches in the world, at over 2,000 documented arches. 14.) Utah restaurants and bars have a unique partition that separates restaurant bartenders who are preparing drinks from the customers who order them. They aim to prevent excessive drinking by keeping alcohol out of sight. These partitions are called “Zion Curtains” by locals. 15.) Utah is the second-driest state in the United States after Nevada. On average, Utah has about 300 sunny days a year. 16.) The name “Utah” is derived from the name of the Ute Native American tribe. The name means “people of the mountains.” 17.) Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah all meet at Four Corners. This is the only place in the United States where four states come together. 18.) In Utah, it is illegal to hire trombone players to play on the street to advertise an auction. Additionally, it is illegal to fish while on horseback and to hunt whales. In Salt Lake City, it is illegal to walk down the street carrying a paper bag containing a violin.

Good Thursday morning, friend. Hopefully, this will get you to crack a smile. Q: Why did the broom get promoted? A: Because it swept everyone off their feet!  Need another, well, ok. Try this one out. Q: What do you call a fish who practices medicine? A: A sturgeon general, of course. Have a blessed day, friend. Take care, and GOD bless.   ... View more

@Landon_Fagan1, when you spend time here in the community, you will come to learn that I interact with every topic (or post). The only thing I don't respond to is the topic of sports. I have nothing to do with sports; I despise sports. I had such a love for it at one time; it consumed me to the point I lost my family, and it became my god in my life.  Have a blessed night, take care, and GOD bless. ... View more

 Good Wednesday afternoon, friend, perhaps this can crack a smile on you. “Heard a lullaby coming from the basement last night. Went down with a flashlight and found a ghost rocking a cradle. I asked whose baby it was. She said, ‘Mine—he’s just a little boo.’ I peeked in and saw nothing. ‘He’s shy,’ she whispered. Honestly, I think he was just invisible. Like father, like son. Word is, the dad ghost ghosted them both. Can’t say I blame him—he always gave me the chills.” Have a blessed evening, take care, and GOD bless. ... View more

Good Wednesday afternoon, dear friend, and welcome back to our series of Weird but True facts about the States of our great Nation. Today, we are going to learn weird but true facts about the great state of.  Nevada. 1.) Nevada is the 32nd most populous and the 7th most extensive of the 50 states of the United States. 2.) The state attained statehood on October 31, 1864, becoming the 36th state to join the union. Nevada shares its border with Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Arizona, and California. Nevada (nicknamed: the “Silver State”, the “Battle Born State”, and the “Sagebrush State”) has 16 counties. The state’s capital is Carson City. The postal abbreviation for Nevada is NV.  3.) The name of the state, Nevada, is an old Spanish word meaning “snow-covered.” That appellation refers to the white-topped Sierra Nevada Mountains, which inspired early settlers to name the place after one of the area’s most beautiful sights. 4.) Nevada was the first state to ratify the 15th Amendment on March 1, 1869. The amendment gave African American men the right to vote. One day after it was ratified, Thomas Mundy Peterson of Perth Amboy, New Jersey, became the first black person to vote under the authority of the 15th Amendment. 5.)  Did you know that the longest telegram sent in the US is the state constitution of Nevada? The governor, James Nye, sent it to President Abraham Lincoln in 1864. 6.) There’s no corporate or individual tax in Nevada. 7.) A total of 44 U.S. states have state lotteries. Only six states don’t have one. Nevada is one of those six. The other five include Alaska, Hawaii, Utah, Mississippi, and Alabama.  Except for fundraisers and church raffles for charity, lotteries are illegal in the state of Nevada, according to the infamous law known as “four-twenty-four,” which indicates the state legal code, Article IV, Section 24. 8.) U.S. Route 50 (US 50) cuts directly across the center of the state of Nevada, and includes the section, which was famously nicknamed “The Loneliest Road in America” by the now-defunct Life Magazine back in 1986. The highway’s 408 miles traverses desert, mountain valleys, and otherwise uninhabited areas known for their high boredom factor among long-haul drivers. The total length of the route is 3,000 miles (4,800 km) linking Ocean City, Maryland, on the Atlantic Ocean to West Sacramento, California, on the Pacific Ocean.  Life Magazine meant the term “The Loneliest Road in America” as something of a criticism, but state officials decided to use the term in advertising, and the ploy worked. Not only did the nickname seem to intrigue the public, but it also boosted tourism among curious drivers who wanted to see what the desolate stretch of road was like. 9.)  As far as crops go, Nevada’s most profitable product is wheat, which brings in a whopping $9.3 million in profit each year. 10.) The Lunar Crater landmark site in Nye County features a 400-acre crater that resulted from a long-ago volcanic explosion, so the theory goes. The odd place was designated a national natural landmark in 1973. Before that, it was a training location for NASA astronauts who were headed to the moon. 11.) Just southwest of Groom Lake (by about 12 miles) is the Sedan Crater. It’s the result of a 104-kiloton nuclear test in 1962 that displaced 12 million tons of earth. Sedan Crater is 320 feet deep and 1,280 feet wide. 12.) A house in Rayolite, Nevada, was built from glass bottles by a stonemason in 1906. The house of Tom Kelly is famous for the odd material used to build it. 13.) The Colorado River was diverted via a tunnel system to prepare the area for the construction of the Hoover Dam. Four giant tunnels were chiseled out of the canyon’s walls, and the river was entirely dug up before any of the actual dam-building work could begin. 14.) The Las Vegas strip in Nevada can be seen from outer space. It is also the brightest spot on Earth when viewed from space, and it is night in Nevada. 15.) Reno is nicknamed “The Biggest Little City in the World.” 16.) The largest slot machine in the world can be found in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is 11 stories or 128 feet tall. It is known as Slotzilla and is the starting point of a zipline adventure. 17.)  Jacob Davis is known all over the world for one of his inventions, though his name is known only to a few people. Mr. Davis was a tailor who created the first pair of blue jeans in his small shop in Reno, Nevada. Levi Strauss is credited as co-inventor, and the year was 1873. The men used the Italian city of Genoa (the home of the so-called “jean cotton”) to name the pants “blue jeans.” 18.) The Kangaroo Rat found in Death Valley, Nevada, can live without drinking a single drop of water. The unique desert mammal gets the moisture to survive from the seeds it eats. 19.) In 2009, fishermen got quite scared when they reeled in an alligator at Sunset Park. Alligators are generally not from the desert life in Nevada.  20.) More than 300 couples are getting married daily in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is one of the most popular wedding venues in the US and the world. 21.) The most fans of Elvis Presley are in Nevada, with all the impersonators in Las Vegas. You’ll find Elvis wherever you go in Las Vegas. The king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley, was a resident of Las Vegas for five years. His residency contract was later extended for another two years. Elvis Presley made his Las Vegas, Nevada, debut in April 1956. It was an attempt by Colonel Tom Parker to provide Elvis Presley with national credibility.

Good Wednesday afternoon, dear friend. “Unscripted and Unafraid”  “No spotlight needed, no script rehearsed—just a soul brave enough to be seen.”  Actors and actresses are paid to perform— to slip into roles, wear masks, rehearse lines. But you and I? We live unscripted. Our stage is every day. Our audience is those who truly know us. The question isn’t whether we’ll win applause— it’s whether we’ll be remembered for our honesty, our kindness, our courage to show up as ourselves. Dear friend, if you find yourself performing for approval, ask: Who am I trying to impress, and why? Because the people worth keeping close are the ones who love you without the costume. Your true colors aren’t flaws to hide. They’re the hues of your heart, the tones of your testimony. And they will shine— maybe not under spotlights, but in quiet moments, in gentle words, in the way you make someone feel seen. So today, step into your role— not as an actor, but as the real you. Unscripted. Unafraid. Unforgettable. (Psalm 139:14 "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:) The GOD who created who made "ALL" things says that about you, then my friend, you have much to be proud of, and you are greatly valued as well.  “True Colors & Honest Echoes” A gentle, affirming mix to accompany today’s reflection: 🎵Song Title 🎤          Artist 💬                                             Mood/Message True Colors Cyndi Lauper Embracing authenticity This Is Me Keala Settle (Greatest Showman) Bold self-acceptance Who You Are Jessie J Raw, reflective encouragement Just As I Am Carrie Underwood Grace and acceptance Brave Sara Bareilles Courage to be seen You Say Lauren Daigle Identity rooted in divine love The Real Me Melter Vulnerability and spiritual truth   Have a blessed day, friend, take care, and GOD bless.   ...
