I am deploying resources wisely shopping online and at shopping mall.

     On 11th December 2023 I bought superfast used DELL INSPIRON 3471 SMALL DESKTOP PC i5-9400 16GB 500GB SSD W10 for only about US$300 on eBay.
     On 15th June 2024 I bought my Manicure Nail Scissors Straight 9cm durable long lasting quality stainless steel (eBay US$8)
     I'm enjoying my polyester low-profile pillows (Kmart two for US$8.69 including postage).
     In 2025 I am enjoying my magnifying glass with three light-emitting diodes (eBay US$9.10) reading my medicine bottles.
     I am enjoying my eBay US$3.79 universal stylus touchscreen pen with non-scratch soft rubber tip to easily type on my smartphone keyboard.
     I am enjoying my new Casio digital watch (eBay US$18.63) when I'm computer journaling in full-screen mode.
     I visited the shopping mall to buy just what I wanted without getting distracted. I am wearing my fancy yet inexpensive (US$9.31) Kmart analog watch to support my circadian rhythm. I am resting deeply at night through the early morning hours.
     I look forward to seeing my Retro Non Ticking Analog Small Table Clock (eBay US$15.72) power-napping during the day.
     I am using my four multi-colored Artline whiteboard markers (eBay US$12.42) for the pantry door shopping list.
     I am looking forward to deploying brightly colored 3M Post-It notes (eBay US$5.59) beside my computer monitor for daily reminders.

Total US$91.25 not including December 2023 US$300 computer.

(1) Experience as Rugby League football fan a resume qualification!

     My experience as a Rugby League football fan deserves to be on my resume!      I've been a hypochondriac since puberty. But my dream of playing Rugby League in heaven is still alive. Rugby League is a dangerous sport. They wear no protective gear, and, until it was banned in 2006, there was what's called a "shoulder charge" where the purpose is not just to stop the opponent advancing in yardage but to inflict pain and preferably concussion. Once an Australian international player was penalized by a strange foreign referee because his tackle was "too fierce" which I found hilarious! The G-forces of the hardest tackles in Rugby League are about 20 G's! An astronaut only feels 3 G's or three times his or her bodyweight. Anyway my dream is to be reborn in heaven with such a powerful body that I could deploy and receive shoulder charges in celestial games of Rugby League with no risk of injury.      The news media report afte...

Questions for figuring out Do's not Don'ts

Theravada Buddhism mainly offers lists of Don'ts rather than Do's . I've struggled to figure out what action I want to do before I do it. “Whenever you want to do a [bodily/verbal/mental] action, you should reflect on it: ‘This action I want to do — would it lead to self-affliction, to the affliction of others, or to both? Would it be an unskillful action, with painful consequences, painful results?’ If, on reflection, you know that it would lead to self-affliction, to the affliction of others, or to both; it would be an unskillful action with painful consequences, painful results, then any action of that sort is absolutely unfit for you to do. But if on reflection you know that it would not cause self-affliction, the affliction of others or both, it would be a skillful action with pleasant consequences, pleasant results, then any action of that sort is fit for you to do." ~ the Buddha, Majjhima Nikaya 61 , transl. Thanissaro My latest variation (bodily, verbal...

The body can’t feed off of anticipation but the mind can. And that’s what gives it the strength to keep going. So faith is an important way of nourishing the mind.

"You’re not here just stuck in a bad situation where there’s nothing you can do about it. Even though there may be limitations on what you can do, you always have the opportunity to do the skillful thing, say the skillful thing, think something skillful. And that will be your food down the line. Even though the refreshment and the nourishment and the rapture may not be coming immediately, the simple fact that you’re convinced that there will be something good coming down the line gives you energy right there. Because the mind is not like the body. The body can’t feed off of anticipation but the mind can . And that’s what gives it the strength to keep going. So conviction is an important way of nourishing the mind." ~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "Feeding Off the Future"
