February 28, 2021 – Seeing things from a new perspective.

I thought a great deal about what I wrote yesterday and how much the situation really riled me. I’ve lost two solid days allowing it to consume me, and for what??!! Yes, anytime I am ‘surprised’ by an unexpected bill, I get a little worked up. I hate to admit it, but that’s not the

February 27, 2021 – Insurance and Billing Blunders

I feel like an emotional basket case. Whether it’s due to the full moon or other matters, I cannot be certain. If I could help you understand what I mean by ’emotional basket case’, I would describe it as much like what Humpty-Dumpty experienced before he plummeted to the ground below and shattered into a

February 26, 2021 – Big Blue Marble (Part Two)

So where did I leave off? Oh, yes! I was talking about the ‘Big Blue Marble’ TV show that used to air on PBS in the 70s and 80s and how I wrote the show (when I was in middle school) and requested a pen pal. After I graduated high school, my mom took me

February 25, 2021 – Big Blue Marble (Part One)

If you were alive between the years of 1974 – 1983 and a fan of PBS, you might have come across the TV show ‘Big Blue Marble’. I was a big fan and watched it every week it was broadcast (with the exception of the 4 years we didn’t actually have a TV after my

February 24, 2021 – Tales from a Thrift Shop.

If you’re ever bored one day and want to ‘liven things up’, take a drive over to your nearest thrift shop. Thrift shops serve as veritable dumping grounds for unwanted ‘stuff’. I go as a means of entertainment but I also go with the hope that I can find yet another interesting mug to add

February 23, 2021 – All About Bacon

Humankind must have done something right for bacon to be introduced to our palates. To me, it’s as close to Heaven as one can get while alive (that’s if you disqualify chocolate). Bacon makes everything better. It turns a boring breakfast into a brilliant breakfast. It turns the best burger into the best ever burger.

February 22, 2021 – Budget Travel Tips

When I was a child, whenever my mom brought me along on a trip, we always stayed in the cheapest hotel or motel available. More often than not, that meant a Motel 6. If you want bare bones accommodations and possibly bed bugs, feel free to make a reservation at one of their 1400+ locations

February 21, 2021 – Where’d my mojo go?

I’ve looked all over the house. I’ve checked every closet, every cabinet, every cupboard. I pulled out all of the canned goods and boxes of cereal and looked behind them. I removed every garment one-by-one to see if it had nestled between them. I looked inside each shoe and boot to determine if it had

February 20, 2021 – The beauty of anonymity.

Have you ever thought about what it must be like to be a celebrity or a public servant or someone widely known based on their talent or stature? Personally, it sounds awful. To face public scrutiny continually because you’re ‘famous’ for one reason or another? No, thanks! I know there has to be an ‘upside’

February 19, 2021 – Snow Daze

I’m not sure about you, but I feel like I’ve been transported to Siberia. The snow just keeps coming, even when the sun comes out. It makes no sense at all! I am beginning to understand why people become ‘Snow Birds’. If I had the money, I would, too. Speaking of birds, I think my
