Frequent Updates (MM #4237)

I spend much of my day on the computer. And I realize that I’m not a typical user, so your experience may not be the same. But over the last year or two, I’ve noticed more frequent updates than in years past. And, of course, now, you can’t keep putting them off. And when you…

Middle Seat (MM #4236)

If you’re like most people, all you have to hear are the words middle seat, and you shudder just a bit. It doesn’t matter where or when; the seat in the middle is always the one you try to avoid. Well, finally, someone is trying to do something about it. Virgin Australia Airlines has a…

Talk To Someone (MM #4235)

Every day we hear a story on the news that reminds us we have a mental health crisis in America. The latest school shooting in St. Louis is another example. Experts tell us that we should talk to someone if we have problems. But isn’t admitting we have a problem more than half the battle?…

No Clue (MM #4234)

If you’ve been shopping in any store recently, it’s likely been a bit frustrating. We still have many supply chain issues, there seem to be fewer people working in the store, and if you ask for help, they usually have no clue. And instead of lying to you, they tell you that straight up…

Piles Of Leaves (MM #4233)

As the weather turns cooler, the fall foliage becomes a topic of interest for many. Some love to travel to see the tree turning beautiful colors. Others look at everything and simply see piles of leaves. One of the things that kids love to do this time of year is play in those piles. Over…

It seems that everyone has been talking about Cookie Monster this week. On Twitter, the other day, our blue furry friend from Sesame Street announced something that caught some off guard.

Fantasy Football (MM #4230)

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had friends who participated in fantasy football each week of the NFL season. I know some people who were in 2 or 3 different leagues. But this year, I’ve heard no one talk about it. Have the new sports betting apps changed everything? I’m betting they have…

Another Year Older (MM #4229)

I am truly blessed to have both of my parents still going strong into their 80s. Today, my father is another year older. He’s turning 87, and I admit that it probably causes me more stress than it does my father. I’ve never really cared about celebrating my birthday, but I can’t say the same…

Trying To Park (MM #4228)

Even though cars have gotten smaller, trying to park is difficult for many people. I now park in a parking garage at work, and I’ve noticed everyone wants to back into their space. And almost every one of them is in there crooked. I can’t imagine any of them trying to parallel park their vehicles…
