The Dangers of Not Having Your Coffee
5:30 a.m. and my husband coos at me asking if I am awake. I am now, but barely. He tells me he is off to work, checked the fire downstairs, and that is will be fine until I wake up (until 7:30 a.m.). Cool. I set my alarm for 7:30 and head back into some delicious dream, I can’t remember anymore. No I would not tell you, even if I could remember the dream)

Multinational Crisis Part 5
If you had no idea there were people trying to defraud women and men online, you probably have been on a long staycation in the jungles of the Amazon, or you live under a rock. This is happening everyday and hundreds and thousands of times a day to as many people.

Multinational Crisis Part 4: Who Cares?
“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!” Facebook. Silent. TikTok. Silent Instagram, Threads, Lemon8, and every other social media, are not concerned with what is happening to you, women and men, on their platforms. They care only, for the mighty dollar and statistics.

Multinational Crisis
Part One: Nigeria You have all heard about Nigerians, Nigeria in general. The infamous scammer country. But let’s have a real conversation. Let me give you some extremely boring stats, so we are on a level playing field, on my thoughts. I’ll be as brief as possible considering, no one wants an hour long dissertation on economic issues.

Overkill
Love, love, love. We love everything. We love our dogs, our cats, our homes. We love our cars, our new snowboard, this new book. Love. The word used to mean something. One did not use that word for mundane things. It was revered and used in beautify longing poetic verse. Some of the most prolific writers, wrote sonnets, lyrics, odes, to the emotion of love, once saved and cherished for a one and only. Now it’s used like the word like, but a little stronger.

Product of Lies
Product of Lies My earliest recollection of a lie was at the age of five. It was the Christmas holiday week, and my mom and dad were have an annual Christmas party for friends that included a couple children. The night was a fantasy, like the Nutcracker Suite without dancing. Our house length sunroom, which I always called the ball room was fully decked out in silver and gold garland, hung from each of the recessed lights in the entire room, which made the light refracting off of the tinsel, shimmer and flicker throughout. There was beautifully delicious food laid out and beverages for the kids and the adults. I was going to be a long evening of magical socializing in holiday vignettes.

A Jerk and an Idiot Meet in a Bar
A Jerk and an Idiot Meet in a Bar Well not in a bar, per se, social media. After all, it is the bar of our modern times. It’s where we hook up with friends, family, dates, or trysts. Places like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and others, all designed for social interaction with anonymity and limited consequences, for bad behavior. Often these entities dole out consequences to parties that are not causing a problem, and give a blind eye to serious problems.

Ugh! This Again
Ugh! This Again Good riddance 2025. The holidays and big spending are through. Time to pay debt off and save a little something. But wait! Every channel on the television is pandering for rent type of donations. A commitment. And I don’t even get a ring on it.
