WHERE WERE YOU WHEN? YOU HEARD ABOUT? “911?”

I was at work. And a coworker informed me about the first of the twin tower being hit! Then a few minutes later?

That the same coworker informed me about the other twin tower being hit!

When it was lunchtime? I went outside. And the streets were so empty! That? You would swear! It was Sunday morning!

No noise! No traffic! All quiet!

The HR rep! At the place I worked at.

Informed…

AN OBSERVATION

Since the COVID-19 Landed on the shore.

This is a lesson to be learned from all of this.

Do not be settled in

Do not take anything for granted

Always! Be aware of the economy (and yours!)

Do not read/listen to anything! And flat out! Accept it!

Never think: “IT WILL NOT HAPPEN TO ME!” (Talk about a rush to judgment?)

The lesson we are all learning?

“PLAN!”

TRUMP WANTS NC VOTERS TO VOTE 2X’S!

https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-54011022

Trump wants NC voters to vote 2X’S!

HE WANT NC VOTERS TO VOTE TWICE?

He wants them to commit a crime?

Who? Is going to bail them out?

Not TRUMP!

That is like?

In Ohio! There was a law that said?

Voters in Ohio can vote anywhere in the state.

One local news reporter. Tried it! He got arrested!

There are people who…

DON’T! EVER RENT/LEASE A BASEMENT APARTMENT!

Don’t ever rent/lease a basement apartment.

Too many problems go along with it!

I lived at one place. When I moved in?

I found out. There were bed bugs, ants, winged ants (There are different! When they bite their bite feels like you were bitten by fire ants!). It’s the first place they come in!

They cannot climb the stairs! SO?

You will find yourself DIY! Exterminating your place.

TEACHERS!THE USE AND ABUSE!

This is a continuation of my previous post.

Called “taught to the tune of a???

Granted! It was a time when. Schools were thinking “old-fashion” ways and means of teaching.

In my time?

Teachers were a “REAL” basket case!

There was one. Who would grab my hair and move my head around!

If Do you remember? There was a time when. If a child was found to be left-handed? It was believed…

TAUGHT TO THE TUNE OF A???

PUNISHMENT!

In school it was different among teachers & principals.

I remember one of them!

It was a paddle that was attached to an elastic string, with a round rubber ball.

It became a paddle!

The forms of punishment were?

The yardstick,

A 2X4 with holes in it.

Many a day! I saw yardsticks break in half over kids behind!

Teachers,principals caught on!

One music…

FROM HAVING A BABYSITTER TO LATCHKEY KID!

Growing up.

From the time I began going to school. To the mid-60s.

I had a sitter each time my mom went to work. When it was time to go home for lunch. Either my (half) sisters or the next-door neighbor. Would be there when I came home.

Now! IDK? There was such a name for it as “Latchkey kid!”

Not until the mid 70’. There was a name for it.

The way, it worked at that time was?

E…

The first time. I saw a wrestling match?

Was on TV.

Most matches were on local TV.

I can’t remember?

Who the wrestlers were?

I recall. It was a lot of rolling around and various holds.

I also, recall. It did not last very long either.

It was not until the independent TV stations were built.

One the station had it on for two hours. The other one hour.

My mom! Was clever!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1960s_American_game_shows

I remember!

As a kid.

In the 60’s 70’s.

Game shows were popular in the daytime. And a little at night.

Before soap, operas began airing on TV.

So many of them!

My mom had her favorites.

One of the game shows?

Were “play your hunch!”

Was created by Merv Griffin

Another was?

Word for word.

When I was growing up!

My mom allowed me to play with my sister’s dolls.

I even remember? Shampooing them!

Then about? The mid-60s.

G.I. JOE! Hit the market!

My mom. Did not buy me G.I. JOE.

The closest I come? Was a G.I. JOE shaving kit.

Did I want one? NO!

I can recall? Thinking? Boys? Playing with dolls?

That was a common thought back then.

I did not give it a…

THE “REAL” WAY! OF MAKING TRULY GREAT COFFEE!

Making coffee?

My Way!

To brew a great pot of coffee is?

The water is important!

If you don’t like the water from the city?

There are different brands of water filters.

Above and under the counter filters.

“KEEP IN MIND!”

Do not run hot water while using the water filter!

You can use?

Just about any kind/type of water.

Try using?

Distilled water.

WHAT WERE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE BOOKS GROWING UP?

My favorite book as a child was?

Sleeping beauty,

And just about any book I wanted

It was my mom.

Who always had me read to her

That made reading fun.

Later in life?

Books were my way of escaping (even for a while) the world.

I found that.

It was how the author wrote it!

That made the difference.

Love story by Erich Segal.

Goodbye Mr. Chip’s

It’ is very…

For people like Bette Midler .https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8665421/Bette-Midler-says-Melania-Trump-speak-English.html

For all we know?

This is just another way of getting, keeping their name out front.

Or they were drunk, angry at Trump for whatever.

But for her comments about the 1st. Is Lady still having her homeland accent?

It would not surprise me!

Face Masks! To wear? Or Not to wear?

We have reached a point where?

Some do continue to wear it!

Some don’t!

If we are going to reduce and eliminate COVID-19?

As much as we may not like it (I for one!).

We have to do it!

This is not!

A “GOD-GIVEN” right.

This is a “HUMAN RIGHT” not only to protect ourselves!

Also to protect man/womankind!

Not! To be used for?

To commit crimes or anything illegal.

SAVING MONEY ON ELECTRICITY

There are many ways to save money on your energy (electric) bill.

One of them! You may not like it! (?)

1. Unplug any & all electric items you are not using.

Except! Refrigerator/freezer range Essentials.

YES!

Even the modem! (it takes less time to reboot the modem. Then the cable box)

NO! Timers! Do not save money! They use the same thing as the other items.

When Do you use…
