Password Sharing (MM #4702)

Password sharing is nothing new. It’s been around as long as the internet. But as many subscription sites look for ways to increase revenues in recent years, they’ve started cracking down. Netflix made a big deal about it a little over a year ago. Since they began to issue warnings, subscription numbers have increased. Hulu…

Graham Crackers (MM #4701)

We were discussing snacks the other day and got into a discussion about graham crackers. For most people, they’re just something you combine with chocolate and marshmallows to make s’mores. They’re often used to make the crust for pies and cheesecakes. When I was younger, we always seemed to have a box in the pantry….

Big Dumb Cups (MM #4700)

Scrolling through YouTube the other night, I found a clip from last week’s Saturday Night Live. I’ve been watching SNL since it debuted in 1975. I haven’t missed many episodes through the years. I realize that young people today no longer watch the show each Saturday night. They catch the clips online. And what amazes…

Make It Official (MM #4699)

The state legislature here in Tennessee has been in the news a lot over the last few months. Sadly, it’s not for the good things that they’re doing. Our representatives are some of the most dysfunctional politicians in America. And in our current political climate, that says a lot. Right now, they’re all here in…

Stop Work Order (MM #4698)

One of the downsides of working near downtown Nashville is the daily sounds of construction. They’ve been working on a 16-story building next door to our office for nearly a year. But yesterday, the banging and clanging we heard all day went silent. The city had issued a stop work order for the latest Nashville…

Rough Pavement (MM #4697)

When heading to work the other day, I saw one of the overhead highway signs bearing the message ‘Rough Pavement Possible.’ I didn’t think anything of it and kept driving. Then, a few miles down the road, another sign had that same message. At that point, it struck me that they meant to watch out…

Time To Retire (MM #4696)

Through the years, I haven’t thought much about retirement. I should have planned ahead, but I could never imagine calling it a day. I have some friends who started planning back when they were in their 20s. Most people stay where they’ve been living, but experts say you may need to move to get the…

Swifties (MM #4695)

The stage is set for this year’s Super Bowl. The Kansas City Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers. Usually, people would discuss whether the Chiefs can win back-to-back titles. But this year, many will be more concerned with how much screen time Taylor Swift will get during the game. Taylor and her fans, the…

Potholes At Night (MM #4694)

Like many cities, Nashville has a pothole problem. And because of our recent snow and ice storms, followed by a 50-degree warm-up, the roads have become dangerous. When you combine them with another road hazard here in Tennessee, the lack of working streetlights makes driving challenging. Dodging potholes at night around town is impossible. Not…

Sloppy Joes (MM #4693)

Back in the day, one of the most popular lunches for kids was Sloppy Joes. It was almost as popular in the school cafeteria as that square they used to serve. And when Manwich hit the grocery store shelves, they became even more popular. I feel they’re less popular with kids today. I preferred the…
