Lately I have seen something posted over and over on social media that just drives me nuts. I do believe that most of the people sharing it don’t intend to be condescending douchebags, but it comes across that way anyway. What is this hated trend? Any version of “Just travel! You can always make more money later!” It’s hard to… Read more »
As long as the United States as existed blaming the President for things that he didn’t actually do/ control/ contribute to has been one of our national pastimes. It’s easy to blame someone you’ve never met for all your problems. Social media makes this easier to do than ever. Joe Biden is certainly no stranger to public critique, having been… Read more »
Interest in working from home exploded in 2020 when COVID hit and many companies who had never had any remove employees suddenly had to figure out how to make it work. Most companies did it very successfully- including my employer. I was lucky enough to be able to continue to work full time throughout the entire pandemic by being home… Read more »
This isn’t the post I was planning on writing this weekend. But I was slapped upside the head with a realization this week I can’t ignore. My parents are getting old. I try to ignore this most of the time. I am blessed with parents who are in very good health for their age (they are both 75). We have… Read more »
June is Pride Month. While we should support equal rights for all people regardless of their sexual and/ or gender orientation year round, it’s especially important to increase our understanding of the issues these folks face this month. So, today I’m taking on a question about transgender people specifically that’s bugged me for a while now. That is the notion… Read more »
Have you noticed a very odd contradiction in thought by your relatives and/ or friends who love nothing more than to share the latest government conspiracy theories with you? I just noticed it myself, but now that I see it I can’t unsee it. Typically these folks LOVE to tell you how bad/ useless/ incompetent the government is. Everyone in… Read more »
Part of me really hates doing blogs about the Bible. I have friends who are not Christians and I know I’m leaving them on the side of the road on these. I am somewhat comforted by the Old Testament being a sacred text for folks of the Jewish and Muslim faiths as well as the Christians do. Also, I don’t… Read more »
I will be the first to admit that I am not the least bit objective when it comes to Bon Jovi. I have been a HUGE fan since I was a teen. And while no one believes me, I actually fell in love with the music first- keep in mind in the mid 80s there was no internet! That being… Read more »
Since the pandemic started there have been all kinds of calls for “freedom”. Freedom to not wear a mask. Freedom to not get vaccinated. Freedom to thumb your nose at any and all public safety measures that cause even the tiniest bit of inconvenience. Some of them went so far as to bust out the “My Body, My Choice” line. … Read more »
There is a disturbing trend going on that needs to be stopped. Good food everywhere is being ruined by the presence of one goopy, unpleasant addition. I’m talking about ranch dressing. It’s bad enough that people put that awful substance on actual salads, but in recent times it’s been spotted all over the food spectrum. I have no idea why… Read more »
