Generation gap has been around since the beginning of time. Each new generation today has a label of Gen X, millennial, Gen Z, etc. I have no idea what any of those are. My label for the current generation (twenty years old and under) is Useless. I wonder if anyone would want to be labeledContinue reading “Generation Gap”

It appears that all of a sudden Facebook has become a dating site. If you’re over fifty or over sixty or over seventy, there’s a place for you. If you live in any particular state, there’s a place for you. If you want to live off the grid, there’s a place for you. If youContinue reading “Facebook Dating”

If you have a membership to Costco, you might get as excited as I do every time I go there…which is every two to three months. It’s not far from my home and I could go more often, but then I would spend more money, more often. I have a standard list of things IContinue reading “Costco”

…for the last time. I met Shirley fifty-two years ago when we were both in the same prenatal class at the hospital expecting our first babies. There were many other couples in the class but for some reason, we hit it off. Although we lived within thirty minutes of each other for the majority ofContinue reading “Today I Saw Shirley…”

The airline industry really took a hit during COVID. Thankfully, the money they received from the government kept them flying. Recently I saw that one of the airlines is cutting all beverages and snacks on flights that are less than 350 miles. That should save some money. I remember back in the day when theContinue reading “Airlines…I’m Concerned”

We’re all guilty of armchair quarterbacking. We see someone doing something that may not be a good idea and we watch while shaking our heads. We do it with family, friends, and even strangers. Nothing good has ever come out of, “Here, hold my beer and watch this.” How we live our lives works forContinue reading “Is It Really A Good Idea?”

According to AI, this is the definition of the snowball effect: The snowball effect is a process where a small initial action, event, or problem grows in size, significance, or intensity at an accelerating rate, much like a small snowball gathering more snow as it rolls downhill. For some time now it has dawned on meContinue reading “The Snowball Effect”

I jumped onto the sourdough bandwagon for the first time about two years ago. I compare the time and effort of sourdough to that of babysitting a hyper-active toddler…they both must be watched constantly. So I gave it up for about a year and decided to try it again. So far it’s much better. I’veContinue reading “Nana Bakes”

I’m not talking about the dreams you have when you’re sleeping. It’s more along the lines of wishing. If you’ve ever purchased a lottery ticket or a scratch off, it must momentarily cross your mind what if this is THE one? The few times I have purchased lottery tickets, I don’t check the numbers untilContinue reading “Is There Anything Wrong with Dreaming?”

If you’re on Facebook, you’ve probably scrolled and have seen a string of Reels for viewing. A lot of them are confusing because you have no idea what you’re supposed to be looking at. Many are of babies / toddlers eating a new food for the first time, learning to walk, crying, and a millionContinue reading “Reels on Facebook”

New technology never stops. It doesn’t even slow down. Look where we are today with computers, cellphones, GPS, cameras catching our every move, and a million other things. I can open my garage door, change the temperature in my house, and several other things right from my iPhone. My oldest son is a huge fanContinue reading “Let’s Talk Technology”

Without fail, every time I travel somewhere new, I fall in love with the place, start looking online for property to buy, read the history, and spend my time immersing myself with the locals. Pine Island, FL is no exception. It’s near Cape Coral and my son suggested I go there. We spent January inContinue reading “Pine Island”

When Ancestry first came out, just like lottery numbers, many people thought they’d send in their DNA and poof, they were going to find out they are related to someone famous. I never thought I was related to someone famous and I’m not. I sent in my DNA for a personal reason. It was interestingContinue reading “Ancestry.com? Yes or No”

As most of you know, there’s a saying that says, “Rules are made to be broken.” But which ones? Parking in a Handicapped parking space because you have to run into the store for a minute? Speeding? Driving after a few cocktails when you probably shouldn’t have? Didn’t tell the cashier she gave you tooContinue reading “Do You Follow The Rules?”

I’m old school. Raised to be a housewife and nothing more. My folks NEVER mentioned the word college. My mom taught us to cook, clean, wash, iron, bake, hang laundry, sew, remove stains, etc. That was my entire childhood. Since that’s all my sister and I know, that’s who we’ve become. We did have jobsContinue reading “But Can She Cook & Clean”

I got up every morning and the only thing I thought about was going to bed at night. Eight o’clock couldn’t come fast enough. It happened about twenty five years ago when I was in a very dark place in my life. Right now it’s happening again. I’m not in a dark place (mentally) butContinue reading “It Happened Once Before”

This past week Rob Reiner and his wife were found murdered in their home. The first report I heard was that two people were found murdered in Rob Reiners house. Hmmm. Odd. Was he out of town and someone broke in? That was my first thought. A couple of hours go by and we findContinue reading “Death & Politics”

Yesterday I was at a children’s birthday party while visiting my son and his family in Miami. Friends of theirs have twins, a boy and a girl, who turned seven. The party was from 11am to 2pm at the children’s house. From past experiences with other children’s birthday parties, I knew what to expect. EachContinue reading “The Real Stepford Wives”

I’ve lived in my house about twenty five years. The house to the west of mine has had three different families live there during that time. Shortly after I moved in, a middle aged couple moved into the house. It was evident from the get-go who was in charge of that household. He was. HisContinue reading “The House Next Door”

Should there be an annual driver’s road test for elderly people? If so, starting at what age? I work two mornings a week for an auto repair shop near my home doing bookkeeping. It’s a family-owned business that has been around since 1975. Last Thursday morning one of the guys said, “Come take a lookContinue reading “Driver’s Test?”
