Statements of Opinion

#127 A recent Buzzfeed article listed great movies that had bad endings. I decided to take a look and see if I felt any of the movies I had seen had bad endings. There is nothing worse than getting into a great movie, following along all the twists and turns, only to be let down when it's all over! There were definitely a few on the list that had me scratching my head! See if you agree with m...

#124 Because of the great student loan debt crisis, many people are asking if college is even necessary in the world we live in today. That's a good question. We often see people like Bill Gates become richer than Midas and never stepped foot on a college campus. But I think it depends. We really need to get away from the college for all mentality and consider college for some. Listen in and...

#123 Cruises can be really cool ways to see a lot of different places all at once. So, I decided to take a cruise to Alaska! I may very well be back by the time you hear this episode, but I know there won't be time for me to write all about it. Once I get back, I'm sure I'll have plenty to share, but for now I'm taking in the sites and I'll catch up when it's all said...

#122 Lately we have been experiencing some extreme weather patterns across the globe. From droughts, to floods to extremely high temperatures, things have been a bit out of whack! But do we know what is causing it? I think we do, but we aren't all on the same page.  Support the show

#121 Have you ever noticed that some of the things happening to us in our world today seem to be straight out of a movie? Well, I have. From plagues to modern technology, everything seems to have been predicted by Hollywood. So why are we not prepared?? In this episode I talk about a few examples of how our everyday lives were forshadowed by some of our favorite movies. And in some cases, the gove...

#120 As I was cleaning up a bit, I came across my little notebook from when I trained to be a Surgical Technologist. So, I decided to share my notes on one of the procedures-a laproscopic cholecystectomy. If you'd like to hear a little bit about the surgical procedure and some of the instruments, then you definitely want to tune in. Especially if you want to find out whyI compare it to marble...

#119 There are all kinds of natural disasters that we need to be prepared for these days-earthquakes, floods, forest fires. But are we equally prepared to survive a zombie apocolypse? I decided to take a quiz and find out if I would survive in an actual zombie apocolypse. You might be surpised by some of my answers. Then again, if you know me, you might know exactly what I would say or do! Listen...

#118 Recently I experienced the one thing that everyone has to do but dreads-a colonoscopy! It is a very necessary procedure that no one likes. So, in this episode I share a little of my experience to help you get through it when it's your turn. Or, if you have had one already, to commiserate with you! Because there really isn't any other way to describe the experience besides evil, lol!...

#117 Recently, Disney announced a live action remake of Snow White. While that may sound appealing to some fans, there is already a whole lot of controversy surrounding choices that are being made in the new production. Personally, I'm not a big fan of remakes anyway, but with the changes I'm hearing about I'm really not feeling confident that this remake will be successful. Listen...

#116 Ok, I am beginning to feel like birds are targeting me to do their business, and I don't know why??? I guess more specifically my car, but still I feel like they have some kind of grudge against me! When you hear the details, I think you'll agree! Or maybe I'm just a little coo-coo! Let me know what you think, and always look up! Support the show

#115 Well, it seems that the U.S. Supreme Court strikes again. This time, they have basically overturned Affirmative Action. Who know's what's next-gay marriage? Maybe the Civil Rights Act? Some of you may think I'm exaggerating, but I don't think so. In this episode I talk alittle about this case and the repurcussions that will follow. It's not a good time to be a minorit...

#114 These days there is a huge crisis raging through the country, and that's the fentanyl crisis. People are dying atalarming rates from this dangerous drug, and states are enacting new laws to combat it. What are their bright ideas? To charge drug users with murder. In this episode I get into this topic and explain why I think that is a losing proposition. See if you agree. Support the show

#113 Well, there has been some really crazy news happening out there lately! So much so, that I decided to make this short update about two items. The first is the second indictment of former President Donald Trump. Now, you may be happy or angry about it, but I think we should all be up in arms, and in the episode I tell you why. I also talk about the crazy collapse of I95 down in Philadelphia. T...

#112 A group known as the Equal Protection Project has filed a complaint against MSU for disrcriminating against white males. Yes, you read that right. The discrimination was against white males. You see, there was a business booster program of sorts that was only open to people of color or women. So EPP felt that was unfair and illegal. In this episode, I get into why I feel this complaint is jus...

#111 I recently watched a documentary on Max about the Armie Hammer Scandal. It came of a few years ago that he had written some very disturbing texts to women he was involved with, and those have become public. But the real issue is the abuse that he allegedly inflicted on several women. In this episode I discuss the show and the really horrible things that Armie and the Hammer family are apperen...

In the run up to getting a new won, I found out that it isn't so easy to navigate today's society without one.

#108 In this episode I have a new pet peeve that is also a phenomenom you may have experienced yourself- when you park in a big empty lot, come back to your car and someone else has parked next to you, leaving all other empty spaces alone! So, I just want to figure out why people don't give me space, or anyone else for that matter. WHy park directly next to me? It happens in other situations,...

#106 Apparently there is a growing concept of taking away traditional grading systems in schools and colleges, and replacing them with ungrading. It seems that the idea is to engage the student in feedback generating self-reflection on their progress through courses. I don't know much about ungrading, but from what I do know, it doesn't seem viable. Join me in this episode as I explain m...

#105 Sometimes people get very upset when playing games. So much so, that two people were hurt by a samurai sword in a fight over Monopoly! For some reason, playing games can cause a huge amount of upset. Even the Queen of England banned certain games from being played because of the fighting. In this episode I talk about a couple of examples of taking games too far when players get mad! Support t...

#104 Two healthcare workers in Florida were recently arrested for live streaming their abuse of an elderly dementia patient. Just reading the article makes me angry, and I find it sad and disgusting that our elderly are still being treated this way. It is also disturbing that our youth think this is ok. Listen in as I get into this terrible incident and let me know if you feel as angry as I do! Su...

#103 There has been a lot of controversy surrounding book banning in Florida, led by Gov. DeSantis. Even more specifically Duval County schools have been removing more than 100 books from its schools following challenges from parents and residents. This type of censorship is extremely disturbing to me. The books being challenged in Duval County are important works of literature that address import...
