I am getting so tired of updating my phone. It seems as if, everyday, there are more updates for Apps on my phone. If I go a few days without updating my phone, the amount of updates grow exponentially. While looking at my phone my grown children have reprimanded me for not updating sooner. They also reprimand me f having too many unread emails …
Is there a food you have an absolute aversion to? For me, it’s cooked carrots. I absolutely love raw carrots. I eat raw baby carrots by the bagful. I often go through a bag weekly. The moment you put a little heat under a carrot, however, I cannot look at it, let alone eat it. My husband finds my aversion to cooked carrots humorous. In fact, …
I am frustrated. I need a dress to wear to the dinner the night before my son’s wedding. I quickly looked online at some of the department store websites near me. Then I went to the mall to look at and try on the dresses I had seen online. I was shocked that, when I got to the first department store, I could not find any of the dresses I had s …
What has happened to salt? I know it’s not a healthy preference but I like salt in my food. My husband will laugh at me because he has caught me salting my food before I even tasted it. I have noticed, however, that most restaurants no longer have salt on the table. You have to ask for it. And, it’s generally taken almost as a criticism of th …
I dislike making gender specific characteristics. But this one I have to question. During a conversation at lunch at work last week, the subject of our weights came up. The men were very willing-and in fact did-to share their weights. The women, on the other hand, all refused to disclose their weight. And we were all shocked that the men so readi …
During the pandemic shut-down I used the time at home to get my body in shape. I awoke everyday at my usual time. Since I did not have to give myself an additional forty-five minutes to drive to work, I used the time to exercise. For years I have walked on the treadmill approximately three times a week for thirty to forty minutes in the morning. …
I had a telephone consultation with a prospective client last week. As I was working from home, I conducted the consultation on my cell phone. As we were hanging up, I said my usual send-off, “If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me.” At 8:00 am the next morning my cell phone rang from a number that was not in my contacts. Firs …
Mitch’s blog on Saturday influenced this blog. At what point do you change your consumer actions based on unacceptable service? And have you changed your own professional behavior based on your personal experience? Mitch’s blog reminded me of a situation we had encountered several years ago. Routinely we ate at a local Italian restaurant every Th …
It seems that every four years there is a story of heartbreak at the Olympics. This year it is the story of Jordan Chiles, the American gymnast. After completing her individual floor exercise Chiles was in fifth place. The apparent winner of the bronze medal was the Romanian gymnast, Ana Barbosu. Within minutes, everything seemed to change. Chile …
Entertainment, to me, has recently been dominated by an onslaught of prequels and sequels. “Young Sheldon,” the prequel to “The Big Bang Theory,” just ended it’s run. There is currently, “And Just Like That,” the sequel to “Sex and The City,” and “The House of Dragons,” the prequel to “Game of Thrones.” While the prequel/sequel phenomena seem …
During a telephone conversation with my sister this week I mentioned that I still had no idea as to what my blog topic would be. Her children are younger than mine and she asked me whether I ever had blogged about social media and its effects on kids. I told her of course I had. In continuing our conversation, I came back to her social media sug …
This is a public service blog. In late April, I had my annual full body check with my dermatologist. All was well. About three weeks later I noticed a new small “pimple,” on my nose. I thought nothing of it initially. But when a week passed and then two weeks passed and it did not heal, I became apprehensive. I finally scheduled another appoint …
How are you with trying new things? Since the pandemic, I have done my own billing. As soon as I began inputting my own billing, I have been complaining about the program I used, finding it not user friendly and disliked that it was not cloud based. I finally decided to change my system four years after I started complaining. I am still learni …
I have a confession to make. I am not a cleaner. I absolutely despise cleaning. To me, cleaning is just a chore that I know I have to do. My mother, on the other hand, was an avid cleaner. Growing up, our joke was that she used to follow my brother, sister and I around the house with her sponge. My cousin tells me that she cleanses by cleaning. I …
Anyone who knows me, knows that I love to travel. One of my favorite aspects of travelling is to learn about the location’s culture. I love to learn about the locals day to day life. One way we found to do is to take food tours. What people like to eat seems to teach us so much about their customs. I love watching “Somebody Feed Phil” on Netfli …
It's Monday, Monday. Let me know what you think about. . .
