Especially with the movement towards a digital society, we have become a world defined by … well … … FADS. Now this is not really a completely new concept, but it seems fads now take on the same quality as most social interactions do these days, i.e. a picture with a few words to be […]

In one of them, which has people from all over the world, someone posted a picture of all the flags of the world, and asked people which flag was there.

When we meet new people, there are always a selection of questions we will ask that are intended to both break the ice and to get some quick info on whether or not we should run screaming and dive under a table or not. We all have our own priorities, so the questions may vary a bit, […]
“The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself“ -F.D.R. I am sitting her watching the news. I almost never watch the news. […]

For a few years, I helped my mother care for my father, who had Alzheimer’s. Anyone who has had to deal with this unfortunate disease, or any long-term ailment for that matter, knows that […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Time for some gratuitous self promotion and maybe getting a little help from the blogverse! For a while now I have been doing what I can to help develop a website … This site is devoted to creating a barter based system that will allow an exchange of skills, products, and expertise in such a […]
