[ CONTROL ] -MIRROR ARTICLES: The primary features I’m trying to restore display my entire post, an “excerpt” of my article, and any “featured image” attached to the post.
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Currently, the tools I’ve been using only provide a link to my blog posting and the header image of my website (which looks like an old rock). If you are accessing Facebook via the iPhone/iPad app, it will direct you to my website and post inside the app. You simply click the back button and are back to your feed. If you happen to be accessing Facebook from your web browser, clicking on my post will send you to a new browser tab/window. It’s then your responsibility to find your way back to your Facebook feed, the location you were at, and this is only if “the odds are stacked in your favor.” When it comes to the differences between web browsers and Facebook in combination…I hope you’re rolling out your loaded dice. Attaching third-party tools and content isn’t quite as simple as it once was. I believe Facebook is attempting to discourage what I’m doing in favor of its own suite of tools to manage and monetize content. The incredible amount of documentation and options provided by Facebook for its services would take years to fully comprehend if they don’t change their platform again…and as you begin to understand and master their existing platform. That was a very long sentence.
[CONTROL] -EYE CANDY:. A few images are just for fun. “Yeah…we’re going to need you to move your desk to the basement.”

And a few more images just for a little more fun. Why not?

Figure 1. My Bostitch B5000-RED Classic Stapler. This photo was taken when Heather and I lived in our apartment in Murfreesboro, TN.
Figure 2. The electronic components are part of an old project. You’re seeing a test message on the LCD display. It felt like a perfect opportunity to test the “special character” functionality of the display.
Figure 3. This is Doug from the animated movie Up. Doug, but more importantly, the phrase “Squirrel,” as he is known, is an excellent example of how I often jump from one subject to another. When texting someone, I typically use, {SQUIRREL} to indicate that I am about to or have already jumped to a completely unrelated topic. The other person is usually left in a state of utter confusion.
Figure 4. The wood cross is similar to the one where Jesus Christ was crucified. His hands were stretched to each side, and nails were hammered. Then, His feet were crossed, and another nail was hammered through them. The Romans then turned the cross upside down to bend the nails to prevent them from falling out. Jesus was turned face up as He was now secured to the cross. With the assistance of a rope attached near the top of the cross, the Romans lifted the cross and dropped it into a hole in the ground, leaving Jesus suspended by the three nails.

It’s always been a source of amazement to me how we often look back at the “early years” of our relationships and lives with a sense of “simpler times.” Essentially, we often experience feelings of a time when our lives were just a little easier. Having experienced this phenomenon several times, I wonder why I have never held onto what I “know” will one day become a desired reality I desire to return. What is it about the human race, at least Americans, that fuels our culture and the desire to complicate our lives with more of everything. Yet, we often already have everything necessary for a successful, happy life, marriage, and relationships. Why do we keep adding more and then reminisce about what we gave away? We find ourselves with larger homes and more material possessions. We find ourselves with jobs that provide us higher wages. However, we have less time and energy to take advantage of the vacation and downtime opportunities we once enjoyed when we had fewer monetary resources.
