I’m honored to help you keep your house and garden in tip-top shape. One crucial task is winterizing your hose bibbs - the outdoor faucets where you connect garden hoses. Here's a simple guide: Begin by unscrewing any attached hoses from outdoor faucets and check to ensure there are no leaks in the connections. Turn off the water at the base of the pipe if you can by rotating the valves to the right, and drain the hose bibb by turning on the faucet until water stops. Though optional, an insulated cover adds extra cold protection if you live in freezing climates. Affordable faucet covers are available at home improvement stores and fit over exposed outdoor spigots.
The joke of the day has won a chuckle competition and is in the finals, with you as the judge. It’s entitled “Will Try…”
A family was driving on the road when a toad-person jumped in front of the car. The husband stopped the vehicle just in time, got out, and brought the toad-guy to the side of the road. The toad-individual suddenly said:
“Thank you for saving my life. I will grant your family a wish!”
“My dog companion loves to play catch frisbee, but he can never run fast enough to get it. Please make my dog friend run faster.”
The toad-person then saw that the canine-individual only had three legs.
“That's too difficult... Ask for something else!”
At that time, the wife came out and said:
“Then make me win this year's beauty contest, OK?”
The toad-guy looked at the wife, then turned back and said to the husband:
“Sir... bring out your dog-companion again from the car; I will try.”
?!
And now we have a heartline from Inger in Norway:
Dearest Master, About two years ago, I had a dream about this world. I dreamt that while at work I heard Your inner voice telling me to quickly go home, pick up my meditation gear, and go to the meditation center. On my way home, while running back, I saw the streets were chaotic with people running around panicking, buildings collapsing, smoke everywhere, and when I looked up to the sky, I saw airplanes flying around and meteors falling down. When I reached my house, I quickly ran inside to get my meditation gear and started looking for my ID card because even in my dream, I still remembered that we must have an ID card in order to enter the center. My dad was at home at that time, so I told him to do the same, and we both quickly rushed to the center. When we reached the center, I felt protected and at ease because I knew here I’d be safe.
Master, words can’t describe how blessed I am to be initiated by You and be given this Quan Yin Method. It’s a treasure to which nothing in this world could compare. But I know I have taken it for granted sometimes and have not diligently practiced it, and I’m truly very sorry for that. I will remind myself every second of my day to treasure this precious gift from You, to be a better person, and be worthy of it.
I’m thanking every day all the Buddhas, Saints and angels above, for protecting Master from all harm and keeping the negative force away, so Master can focus on Your work and mission to save the planet. Whenever I think of all the hardships You have to endure in order to save humanity, it really breaks my heart. It is not fair and I wish so much that the world will soon wake up and change to a vegan, compassionate lifestyle and to finally learn who You really are. I know this day will come; it definitely will come very soon. With deepest gratitude, I’m forever grateful to You, my dearest Master. Sincerely, Inger from Norway
Mindful Inger, Thank you for your heartline.
Master has some gentle words to soothe your heart: “Lovely Inger, your sincerity flows through your words and into my heart. I am glad the preciousness of being initiated into the Quan Yin Method has truly touched your soul. I know it is difficult to practice spiritually in this world with so much distraction and negative influence, but we must devote ourselves and persist in this most important work to provide light for the world, which is needed now more than ever as world-heavy-bad-karma is piling up ready to destroy Earth, but people are still in slumber due to lack of universal knowledge! Continue to meditate with all your heart and join us in thanking God Almighty every day for World Vegan, World Peace and all souls’ Liberation. Love you and am with you always. May Divine Light from Heaven infinitely shine down on you and picturesque Norway.”
