Everyone has opinions. Most everyone things their opinions are correct and/ or better than those of folks who feel otherwise. Some people feel so strongly about their positions on certain topics that they engage folks who believe otherwise in discussion. There is nothing wrong with healthy debate. It’s one of our rights as US citizens. However, like anything else, there… Read more »
I am the first to admit there are a lot of things I don’t know. Some areas of study- such as the architecture of ancient China or Greek mythology- just don’t interest me. On the flip side, there are topics I do know a lot about, including 80’s music, human biology, and labels and nameplates. I came upon this… Read more »
Lately I have seen a number of folks go public in varying degrees with their marriage/ long term relationship issues. Whether or not the world wide web is the place for that kind of thing is another topic for another day, but the one common thread is how much work they are putting into repairing/ saving/ improving their marriage/marriage adjacent… Read more »
Today I’m doing something a little different. I’m crowdsourcing! As many of your already know over the weekend my husband and I went from a 2 cat household to a 3 cat household. We thought we knew how things could go, but nothing could have been further from the truth. Our eldest cat Hershey, who we expected to be very… Read more »
I have a lot of friends who sell a lot of things though direct sales/ multi-level marketing companies. Thankfully, most of them have learned that 15 social media posts a day doesn’t do anything but annoy people. Same thing with adding people to groups without their permission- not cool. But there are lots of other, sometimes more subtle ways… Read more »
No really, Just get over it. Because today is Get Over It Day. In 2001 Jeff Goldblatt, an entrepreneur from Atlanta, started the Rejection Hotline. This was a service that allowed people to break up with or say no to a date with someone via automated phone message. Ironically, this same man created Get Over It day in 2004… Read more »
When it comes to hugs there are 2 distinct camps. Some families are huggers and some aren’t. I grew up in a non-hugging family. There are a lot of people who find that hard to process. We’ve all seen the Facebook posts that claim we need “X” number og hugs a day to simply survive. Well, I’m here to tell… Read more »
We here in the USA are living in truly strange times. Our country is more divided that I can ever recall it being and we take all philosophical disagreement as direct insults to our honor. I’m old enough to remember when a Congress Critter who was willing and able to “go across the aisle” to get something done was celebrated…. Read more »
I admit it. I’m a hypocrite. Last week I wrote about the importance of NOT constantly arguing online and logging off when you need to. If you missed it (I was having publishing issues) you can read it here: http://beckypalmer.thecomputerguy.bz/2017/01/give-peace-a-chance-online/ Excellent advise, right? Too bad I didn’t follow it. In spite of my best intentions I did indeed insert myself… Read more »
If you are anything like me you are sick to death of anything and everything political. Seems like you can’t log in to any social media site without witnessing- if not actually getting into- an all out brawl. Even the simplest, most innocent observation can turn ugly in the blink of an eye. Why are we doing this to ourselves?… Read more »
