the USPS!!

My mail is LOST. I had the post office hold it for a month. Now NO one knows where it is!!! It’s not delivered; it’s not at my local post office; it’s not at the post office my letter carrier com...

my weakness

seems to be schedules. The worst time was when I arrived at the airport a day AFTER my flight was scheduled. Still, I’ve waiting for friends - either a day ahead of time or when they’ve tried to ...

a situation

When I was younger, girlfriends used to shift loyalties - you were “in”, then you were “out”. Then they’d talk about what they did with the OTHER friend and you felt left out for sure. I am goin...

Am I

a narcissist? I live alone and so have full responsibility for ME. Whatever I do or don’t do affects ME. Any decision I make affects ME before it affects anyone else. I don’t use people; I enjo...


I bought a Lenovo - the same kind I had before and loved. This one, running 8.1 is ANNOYING. Aside from ALL the pop up ads - and I installed an ad blocker - the keyboard is flat. I am a touch...

new computer?

Yesterday morning, I got an alert to download something (I think from microsoft). I turned off the computer and turned it back on. Lo and behold, the computer now has amnesia - it no longer rec...


The story of Brian Wilson - the main songwriter for the Beach Boys. I always thought of their music as fluff. Turns out there was MUCH more to it… and to his story/life. I did know that the B...

facebook

We’ve all heard the expression, “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t true”, well in social media, “if it sounds TOO crazy to be true, it probably isn’t true”. Since many politici...


While on a LONG bus ride, the thunder and lightning were right overhead, and the rain POURED down. It let up for a bit, then poured again. I was lucky it wasn’t raining very hard when I got to ...

produce

I bought an avocado Thursday evening when I was out - there are street vendors of produce in various parts of Manhattan. It was RIPE - and ready. I totally forgot about it. I remembered Sunday...

overwhelmed

I sort of refuse to do any sort of housework. Well, quality that - I do the dishes, buy groceries, do laundry and take down the garbage… REAL basic. When I have an emergency, then I have to do a...

Exhaustion

I used to be able to do more than one thing in a day. Now, one… REST… maybe another one. I worked yesterday, got home, went to bed - woke for a short while around 7:30, back to sleep, woke again...

why?

The older I get, the more I question my motives… trying to understand myself, I guess. I find that if I feel sorry for someone, and feel I can help him through a crisis, I become fond of him. I...

I have been blessed

Through a LOT of hard work - MANY hours of overtime, etc - I have a decent pension and enough money to live on… and have as a cushion for emergencies. I learned many years ago NOT to loan money -...

Forbidden

There are people who enter you life you fall head over heels in love with. But you’re not “supposed” to. They may be too old, too young, “belong” to someone else, be the parent or child of a fri...


I am going to stop even listening to/watching them!!! Last night I went to see “Birdman”. Granted my movie buddy wanted to see it, and I’d heard it got GREAT reviews… It was on a number of “best...

What not to eat

I was listening to a health channel last night as I was falling asleep - if I followed all the instructions on what not to eat, I’d lose weight for sure - there’d be NOTHING on my plate. No wheat...

Facebook?

Somebody broke facebook - it’s 2:15 on Saturday morning on the East Coast of the USA! Now what… I have to go to sleep?

so many books; so little time

There are books I dive into and can’t get out of and there are others I wade into, and they pull me in. Then there are books I dip into every so often over a span of time and they never grab me....

ALERT

I just received an alert: You’ve been hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) website: i.imgur.com/qD53RZY.png Anybody have information about this? It was on gsn.com… I shut that down and ...

Blind sided?

Is it preferable, when one person wants OUT of a friendship to hint through actions or come out and say it? It’s a way to avoid confrontation for SURE. I’ve had a friend for 10+ years. Lately, ...

burning bridges

I am getting older and it’s harder to make and/or keep friends. That said, I am considering letting go of some long time friends. One is in CA and although I usually enjoyed spending time with h...

Friendship

I have a friend. We’ve known each other at least 10 years - quite a long time. At first it was a work friendship… but I’d still get a tingle, a buzz, when we spoke on the phone or e-mailed. The...

of course

I went to the post office to pick up the package. There was much more than I’d remembered - and it WAS heavy. I discarded the packaging material and the box… but still… Then I went to the super...

anger

I am starting to wonder (at this late a date) what my triggers are. I know one is feeling left out 2 - disrespected 3 - frustrated 4 - tired and hungry don’t help 5 - feeling misused I was told ...


Book Description

This is a place to whine and complain. If that’s not what you want to read, you get to skip it, gloss over it, whatever.
I like this idea of “books”.
