Found this online. I haven’t had to do this since my daughter moved out and took the cats with her. I don’t miss them.

Unraveling the Thread

October 9, 2024 · by · in Society · Leave a comment

I got an email yesterday from the social media platform that Meta set up to rival Twitter. Remember Threads? There was a lot of hype and and (if my memory serves me correctly) a hundred million people signed up in the first week. For all I know, I may have been one of them – […]

Think About It

If you have a smart phone in your pocket or purse, you are carrying more computing power than the United States used to put a man on the moon. Times have changed. What are you doing with all that power?

Big Brother Worries Me

I have been going through some of my half-finished posts. Some are no longer relevant. Some I am finishing. This one was about half-written in April 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ending, also in italics, is from this year. It was the Google Translate message that threw me. I know my online activity is […]

The Big

Another one where my memory fails me, this time from November 2018. All I have is the title, “The Big.” Now I’m left to wonder, “the big what?” I would have been in southern Germany, but I don’t remember anything there that grabbed me according to its size. I can’t even begin to speculate as […]

The New Thing

Made an early morning trip to Walmart on Tuesday and discovered all the U-scan cash registers were closed. This was surprising The store recently expanded the U-scan and cut back on traditional cash registers, the ones where a person processes your purchases. At the same time, it put in gates so that you have to […]

The Big Question

I resisted the temptation to see the Barbie movie right after finishing the other big summer blockbuster movie, Oppenheimer. After almost three hours of big-screen entertainment, I was out of film watching energy. I might let Barbie wait for the small screen. Three hours though wasn’t long enough to tell such a complex story. Oppenheimer […]

Uncertain Progress

I was thinking about electric cars the other day. I don’t own one, and don’t expect to own one for at least another decade. I’m not sure they will last. More than a hundred years ago we had electric (and steam powered) vehicles, but the technology wasn’t good enough to last. So I will wait […]

Beach Thoughts

Reading might be my favorite recreational activity. I use it to stimulate my brain – and to de-stress when i get over-stimulated. Today’s post on teh topic comes from August 2, 2015. I don’t have anywhere near as much time to read for pleasure as I would like – except when I am at the […]

The TikTok Results

March 11, 2023 · by · in Society · 3 Comments

Just in case you were wondering…in our less than scientific poll on people’s use of the TikTok app on their phones: Forty-four per cent (44%) of respondents said they would never have TikTok on their phone, but do have other social media apps. I didn’t answer the survey, but that is the category I would […]
