Grocery Store In-Person Or Shopping Online?
UNITED STATES—Nothing is more satisfying for me than going to the grocery store and buying food. It is just a calming experience for me which is why I find it so satisfying. I will point out that I’m not a fan of going to the grocery store during busy times. I can say that because I have experience in...
My Gripe With Hospital Doctors
UNITED STATES—I am not a fan of hospitals. I just feel the notion of visiting such a place brings dread a lot of the time. As I stated in previous columns, I wanted to chronicle my time spending nearly a week in the hospital dealing with a sick relative where the situation was quite dire. The level of stress,...
Political Theatre
UNITED STATES—I’m sick of it and I’m just going to say it and I don’t care if people get mad. You don’t have to be smart or intelligent to be in politics. That is a known fact. You just have to appear polished, have the backing of people with money and be persuasive as hell on the campaign trail....
Good People Are Terrific To Have
UNITED STATES—I have some terrific co-workers and I truly mean that. I don’t always give them the shout-outs and appreciation that they deserve, but I’m doing it this week and rightfully so. I mean I had a personal situation come up that just knocked me off my feet. It happened unexpectedly and I didn’t think it would unfold at...
The Graduation Season Is A Brutal Reality Punch
UNITED STATES—It is a fun, yet scary time for a lot of young adults. They are graduating from high school or college. While the celebrations are fun, the gifts you receive are excellent in most cases, but then when the dust settles the realization hits, what happens next.
When it comes to high school, you either are entering the workforce...

UNITED STATES—For many Americans, especially if you’re still in school or you have children, they are likely in the chaos of taking exams or preparing to take tests whether it is for the semester, end of the year, SAT, ACT, LSAT, GRE or so many more, test taking is part of education. However, I have started to question the...
Cash Is King
UNITED STATES—I have heard this phrase time and time again, “Cash is King,” but is it truly? I know so many people nowadays who barely and I mean barely carry $5 in their wallet. Everyone relies on technology and plastic and that is quite dangerous, very dangerous. This has become a massive trend as of late, and I CANNOT...
Does Common Sense Exist Anymore?
UNITED STATES—I really don’t understand the behavior in this country anymore. It just feels like people do not care about others. Things have to operate their way and be damned what others think. It is almost like the notion of chivalry being dead. I don’t think chivalry is dead. There are guys out there who are still gentlemen and...
Never Judge A Book By Its Cover
UNITED STATES—So many of us have heard the phrase ‘Never Judge a Book by its Cover.’ Yet we constantly do it on a daily basis, which raises the question why. I sometimes find myself fascinated at the notion of being able to know what people are thinking at times. Kind of like the super power that Professor X from...
Shrinkflation Is Indeed Real!
UNITED STATES—Look people cannot sit here in 2024 and tell me that Shrinkflation is not taking place. If people are saying that this is not the case, then explain to me what items are you purchasing. I am totally seeing this in the food market more than anything. You are seeing various items like boxed goods that have decreased...
