There is SO MUCH to talk about
Welcome to my website and thanks for spending a few minutes with me. I have lots of information and love to offer. Come back often as I make changes every week.

Have you noticed that people seem to be more short tempered and impatient lately?
I'm not sure if the gas and food price increases, politics or the news could be a "incite" to the human
capacity to be basically nice.
I know road rage has been a problem for many years now but I have seen an increase of impatient
drivers and downright rude people who I think will be paid back when they are 70 and take more than
a second to take off from when the light turns green.
I have restaurant rage. We have always paid the price to eat at nice sit down dinners and I
want them to bring it the way I ask for it and if not, correct it quickly before everyone else in my party
is finished eating. I don't want my meal for free...we never let them give it to us free. We don't want to
let their responsibility to deliver the service we are paying for. We are not rude (normally) and we don't
abuse. I don't think this is the same thing, this restaurant rage...but if it is...I'm just going to stay home and
eat homemade nacho's and cheeto's and get really fat.
I know that many things make people act and react in various ways. I have several different rescue
medications that cause havoc with my patience, communication skills and thinking ability. But I NOTICE
it quickly and feel ashamed that I would treat my fellow human kind in these ways.
So I ask you to NOT allow anything to keep you from paying attention to how you are treating others:
On the road, phone, email or work.
If you notice that your a bit edgy, agitated or make a faux pa...take a step back. Say your sorry or ask to
start over.
I've been on Steroids this week for a moderate allergic reaction and I've made several regrettable comments
and 1 really stupid email to someone new to me.
Be aware of WHO you are and WHO you want to be and do everything to be that person. Even when you
have to ask for do overs.
