I Need This
I’m having ongoing discussions with my grandson on the difference between wanting something and needing something. He doesn’t grasp the concept At three, everything is a need, and an immediate one at that. He has no understanding of delayed gratification. Do you struggle at times with the difference between wants and needs? Be honest with […]
The Warning Label
The US Surgeon General has a great idea: warning labels on social media platforms, reminding users, especially young people that they are a hazard because of their impact on mental health. Do you see that working? No, me neither. It has been almost 60 years since warning labels were mandated on tobacco packaging. Smoking is […]
Am I An Idiot?
For this Flashback Friday we go back to April 19, 2016. Apparently I am not an idiot. One of my jobs requires logging in to a computer in another city, using a virtual private network. When it works, which is usually, it is a simple system. A few weeks back though I couldn’t connect. I […]
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 […]
Working Today?
For most of us Monday is the start of a new work week. Many of us would rather be somewhere else. However, since money doesn’t grow on trees and groceries aren’t free, we head into work each day. Some days more cheerfully than others. I have always maintained that if work isn’t fun more days […]
The Technician
I wrote this post in October last year, but got sidetracked and didn’t post it. Today seemed like a good time to correct that error. Don’t you hate technology? Even more, don’t you hate calling tech support? You know they can’t help you – but hope springs eternal. My internet connection died, and with it […]
The Check-In
It’s Flashback Friday. Today’s post first ran on January 5, 2015. Technology, when it works, is a blessing. It makes our lives easier and more efficient and provides all sorts of benefits. When it doesn’t work it can be a major frustration. Traveling is so much more pleasant when you can check into a flight […]
Saturday’s Thought
Theologically incorrect, but I laughed anyway.
Modern Technology
It’s a grey day here – some humor seemed to be indicated.
