Street Curb Curiosity

One thing 330 million people in the USA all agree on: Weather People are just wrong…all the time. Well, we are wrong about them being wrong.  Don't get the wrong idea, I predict this episode will take on our complaints by storm, maybe even beat the raining champion on something we talk about every day. (see what I did there?)

About half of us like them hot, and the other half like them cold.  Whichever your choice behind the curtain, there's no stalling on the stats of the benefits of both.  A temperature tirade that will work you up into a lather on an episode that as usual, is all wet.

We make new plans every year, we break these plans every year.  And when 1 out of 10 of us actually keeps one, it's resolutionary! Join the rant about being bad at trying to be better next year. A 2.0 episode!

That gift that keeps on giving, again and again.   Do you regift? Many of us do, so let's talk about a lot of people! Gift Card Cash Exchanges: GC Outlets Got Card Granny Gift Card Bin

It happens about this time every year…you get to enjoy the festivities with co workers at a company party, or with relatives at the family get together.  Fun times for all?  The best Christmas spirit may be the one in your glass. Let's discuss.

The number of bling free people is ballooning.  No gold, no silver, no nothing…maybe a watch. 3 out of 4 of us are wearing less these days…we've got some (precious) stones to share why we're not and why that's okay.

A nutty conversation that began with the question: Are peanut butter cookies nut free? A lunatic legume lament over a favorite people snack that always causes chaos whether in a cookie or a bowl at your next party.

Let shine some light hearted light on something we dread to do, but love to look at. As in sports, enjoy the play-by-play of where all the festive fun came from and of course we'll add some color about our decorating action.

Don't let your age get you down, you may not be able to get back up. You're officially now "old". What does that mean? (other than us making fun of you)

One out of 3 of us do not decorate at all…some, well let's just say they're on the other end of the bell curve.  Why do we, why don't we show our festive feelings not just around Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukkah, but any time of the year. 

We don’t remember things, or need to remember them any more.  Phone numbers, addresses, directions, cooking and more.  Some skill sets that were a "must have" to get through life, now gone.  Has technology and our new world make us better…or dumber? Both? Enjoy a few "skill free" minutes through the eyes of a boomer who had to learn to write cursive and use a paper map.   Podca...

Just an audio yarn about the challenges, trials and tribulations of wearing them…or not. 9 out of 10 of us do worldwide, so an episode that weaves a warm and fuzzy story for (almost) all of us. TV Anchor Jim Donovan and his socks: TWITTER

We carry lots of things in our wallet…but very little cash these days. (yes it's a trend) Pull yours out of that pants pocket and let's look at what you should and should not have in there.

Whether animal, vegetable or mineral, they are things we fell in love with, until we loved something else. Let's talk school crushes, toys, TV, tech and how you deal with this chemical reaction in your brain.

Claims, complaints, causes ( hint: there's really only one) and cures. And the debate of who gets more hangovers.  The answer never gets old.

Finally an episode about something each and every one of us experience:  dreaming.  Even if you don't remember any of them, let's chat how they're a daily part of you "living the dream". Any nightmares? Only the bad dad jokes. Lanie Gardener cover of the song Dreams: CLICK HERE FOR YOUTUBE

We see them every day.  Beautiful (AKA pretty) people.  What makes them beautiful, how many of them are there, and do you know you may just be one of them too? Some of the trends are pretty scary. (see what I did there?)

Let's clear the air on this habit. I don't smoke, but the people who do, really get fired up about their stogie style. The world has two kinds of people: cigar smokers and people who think they're a pain in the ash. Cigar Bar mentioned in the episode: Aston Cigar Bar, Philadelphia

A rant just to prove I still don't know what I'm talking about. Enjoy a talk about a fear we all have, how it can ruin our day and how we can get over it (and ourselves).

A chilling inside look of what we're looking for in that box…over 30 times a day.

Part two of this decision process podcast. (See episode 208) Some audience suggestions and more from me on other crazy things we choose from every day:  this or that?  Thanks for choosing to listen to this episode.

We all have birthdays, but do we all get birthday cards?  Who gets them, who sends them? (You do…DON'T YOU?) And yes a few dad jokes about birthday cards in the mail.  Are they any good? Of course, but it was easy: it's all in the delivery.

We make 35 thousand choices every day (per the experts).  In many cases, it's down to choosing between two:  this or that. Food, clothing, vacation spots, travel, work…even what podcast you chose to listen to.  Thanks for choosing THIS one.  ;0)

RBF = Resting Bitch Face.  An affliction of happy people who know it, but just don't show it. So many of us are grumpy about not being grumpy, but looking that way.   Enjoy some science, some advice and some bad dad jokes that will give you a real reason not to smile.  A digital test for resting bitch face: CLICK HERE The first video example of RBF on the Internet (YOUTUBE): CLICK HERE

If you see a comma, a semicolon and a period walk into a bar…it should give you pause.  Literally. Let's discuss some punctuation that's widely used by boomers, but now becoming a Millennial thing.
