#077 Apparently, having a destination Bachelorette get-away is a big thing now. It's a popular vacay that's usually a week long, involving the bridesmaids and the bride. How come? It seems like that is super expensive and totally unnecessary! And some brides will cut you out of the wedding if you don't attend the bachelorette! This week a chat a little bit about this, and as you can...

#076 Although we all knew it was inevitable, I think for many it's still sad news to hear that Queen Elizabeth II has died. The topic of death is never easy, so hers is also difficult for many of her subjects and her family. However, being that the UK has a constitutional Monarchy, the death of a Queen means the ascension of a King. King Charles III to be exact. Being American, I don't k...

#075 I recently came across a sport I had never heard of, Disc Golf. It's different and interesting, and apparently it's been around for a long time. Which made me wonder what other unique professional sporting events were happening out in the world on a daily basis. In this episode I explore a few unusual professional sports. Some of them are really surprising, and one still has me scra...

#074 This week I am back with another pet peeve of mine. Some of you might be able to relate to it, and some of you extroverts will not be able to understand what the big deal is! I get it, but I still don't care. I just don't get why people like to talk to other people they don't know! Why are you talking to me if I'm a stranger to you? Listen in on this episode to hear why it...

#073 I first spoke about the Mandela Effect a few episodes ago. Apparently this phenomenon keeps happening and I have new examples to share! Now whether the Mandela Effect really is some mysterious nod to an alternate universe or its just some really strong coincidences, I leave for you to decide. Maybe you'll think of a few examples yourself! Support the show

#072 These days many people work from home....or do they? Some people who should be sitting behind a computer are actually out shopping or in a movie theater! With the portability of laptops and iPads, it's hard to tell if someone is actually at home during work hours. The question is, is that ok? In this episode I talk about whether or not I think it's a good idea to take advantage of a...

#071 There are many skills that people from my generation and older have learned that Gen Z will never do. Things like sewing machines are becoming antiques. To some, this is just a necessary sign of modernization and no big loss. But many of us it might be something that we worry about. Not all change is good, is it? In this episode I talk about a few skills that are slowly becoming obsolete, and...

#070 There is a pastor in NY who made recent headlines because he was robbed of $1 Million in jewelry during a live streaming sermon. Now, this brings up all kinds of questions, but the biggest one for me is, how did he acquire a million dollars in jewelry in the first place?? And do they have openings in his church because maybe I am working in the wrong profession! In this episode I discuss why...

#069 It seems that more than two years into the pandemic, the debate on whether or not to wear a mask is still going strong. A child refused to wear a mask by telling their principal "my body, my choice." While it is her body, is it really her choice? In this episode I share my thoughts on that. It is a controversial topic, and you might not agree with me. Even though I'm pretty sur...

#068 Have you ever felt like you remembered an event happening that no one else remembers in the same way? Or have you ever been so sure a product's name was written one way, only to years later see it spelled differently? Well the reason may be because of the Mandela Effect. So many people feel that there is something happening causing an alternate reality, where these things really were dif...

#067  There are a lot of things, healthy and unhealthy that people can get addicted to. I'm not even gonna talk about Pepsi! But the one thing I can't seem to get enough of is True Crime. I have loved true crime stories for years! It started in Elementary school, and still today I can be found watching a documentary about a killer or reading a book about a scamming MLM company. While it...

#066 The United States Supreme Court recently made a ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, which had previously given women the right to abortion, and now has left it up to states to decide. This has resulted in several states banning abortions immediately. As you can imagine protests have been happening across the country. But they have also been happening outside the homes of the Supreme Court Jus...

#064 We all have heard fairytales when we were kids. But have you had the chance to really listen to them as an adult? There are so many things that just seem to defy logic! I know, it's not real, but some things just really don't make any sense! In this episode I debunk fairytales that just don't pass the smell test! You can probably relate, and might think of a few points yourself...

#063 Every year in NYC, thousands of middle school and junior high school studends prepare to apply to their favorite high schools. Based on their academic performance, they were usually pretty confident in where that would be. Well, not anymore. In an ill-fated attempt to make high school admissions more diverse, students were divided up into a lottery system that has confused and upset many. Stu...

#062 As the summetime comes upon us, I am reflecting on a few of my biggest pet peeves that always happen around this time! Now, you might feel like good weather is nothing to complain about and I agree! But still, there are always ome things that seem to try to interfere with enjoying a beautiful day, specifically if you are a driver. If you can relate to some of my pet peeves, then leave a comme...

#061 It is so heartbreaking to say another school shooting has happened, and 21 innocent victims lost their lives. So my question is, when will enough be enough for us? When will we really do something to protect our children? I have some thoughts on how to act, and maybe you have some too, so join me in this episode. Support the show

#060 Okay, I know it seems like I have a few bones to pick with food delivery drivers, but really I think my rant this time is justified! There are many drivers who are going on Tik Tok to complain about the customers who don't want to come downstairs from apartments to get their food. They refuse to bring it to their doors, and will just eat it or throw it out when the time limit expires. No...

#059 Has anyone ever turned to you and said "shhhhh?" How did you feel about it? Some people find that shushing others or being shushed is rude and disrespectful. I am not one of those people, but I thought it would be an interesting topic to explore. Listen in to the reasons why I don't have a problem with it, then let me know if you agree. Is it rude, or is it communication? Suppo...

#058 Recently I read a little article on Reddit about how a woman asked her nanny to miss a family wedding, then basically issued an ultimatum when the nanny said no. I couldn't believe what I was reading! There's just so much to unpack here, but seriously, she should miss the wedding to babysit? And she had been given the time off too! So in this episode I discuss just how crazy I think...

#057 Have you ever been listening to the radio, and a song starts playing that automatically brings back a rush of memories? Every now and then I have that experience. There are a couple of songs, maybe more, that take me there every single time. It just transports you like a musical time machine! If you can relate, and have a few songs of your own to add to the list, then listen in and enjoy this...

#056 On Youtube there are many trends and videos that are interesting, exciting and adventurous. But mukbangs don't fall in any of those categories for me! I came across the trend recently, and let me say I can definitely take a hard pass on mukbangs! It's just not an appealing way for me to spend my onscreen time on. But clearly I must be in the minority because these videos are booming...

#055 Warning: I will be talking about highly sensitive crimes involving minors, although I do not go into specifics. There is a recent documentary about Jimmy Savile, a British entertainer and celebrity, who after his death was found to have committed pretty horrible crimes. But there had been rumors for years about his behavior. Why wasn't he stopped sooner? In this episode I discuss how it...

#054 A nurse, RaDonda Vaught was recently convicted of Negligent Homicide for making a terrible medication error that lead to a patient's death in 2017. There is a lot of controversy over the fact that she was even prosecuted in the first place. Many nurses feel that this case sets a bad precedent. Errors happen because we are human, now they have to think twice before they can give patients...
