Common Sense of It All!

I should have known better when I first saw my Auntie Doreen with a Google page.  My Auntie Doreen, who we call Auntie Do is about as old school as you can get!  As far as she is concern technology is an enemy for the enemy.  So we have to give her the benefit of the doubt when it comes to social media because she still is illeteral to both social media and technology. (Sidebar: I just ask for an ass kickin from her! WOW!)   Now when she started posting simple things I was like "Good Auntie you are catching up with us in the social media world!" I was so proud of her trying to keep with not just her kids and grandchildren but also her nieces and nephews and grand nieces and nephews.  And then she had told me that she wanted to try to keep up with me. (Giggles . . .hahahaha!) Right, too funny y'all! So does a good niece like me do?  I teach her the simple things with certain apps that she can use and have fun with.  That way she can show a little...

So many of you know that I live in Milwaukee, which for me I am still trying to get use to. Why? Because having to live a long time in Chicago and have lived in Istanbul, Turkey, can you now understand the small factor here?  If you have read Research this Dum Dum! then you can understand why I am still trying to come to terms about the size of  the city.  Any how, for a while the Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) and the County of Milwaukee have been in talks regarding the bus drivers contract. There were so many things that did not know make common sense to me at all and has made me mad about the whole thing in general. Now for those of us that take public transit to and from work/school, we know from first hand that sometimes the bus drivers will ask to be excused for a moment while they run to go to the washroom.  After all they are driving those buses for well over an hour time in one direction.  Of course they got piss or w...

In my Introduction to you piece I had mention that I have been wanting to write for some time and I wanted to write about my experience of living Istanbul, Turkey.   However upon me starting to write I started to come up with all these different ideals as to what to write about. When I started my new temp assignment, my job wanting me to do research on how to start a blog and maintain it for work.  You see my job has a blog but they were not doing anything with it, just sitting there waiting to be acknowledge.  I (at that time) did not know anything about starting a blog let alone maintaining one. So I started spending countless hours on research.  (After all I am the research Queen!) Reading valuable advise and helpful hints to expand my understanding as to exactly how blogging is done with the help of social media, it can help get the viewers and/ or make money from writing a blog.  Sweet! However I am not in it for that. The one of the few t...

I believe that I have found a new addiction to have that will not cost me a penny.  It can probably make me some penny if I do it right.  However if I am not careful it can create for me some difficulties that I am choosing not to have.  It all started when I decided to go back to school to get my associate degree back in Chicago in 2008.  Part of my homework assignments call for me to do some research on various things. I graduate with an Associate to move on to start working on getting my Bachelors, and then there were more things I had to start researching for.  My research started to expand beyond homework and into new interests that were slowly being developed.  From food, to wine, getting out and about around Chicago and into watching Korea soap dramas.  But then I moved to Milwaukee where my research came all about getting around this small town.  Yes I did say small town because that are less than 700,000 people living coming aft...

Now usually I do not write about celebrities because I don't think much about them in that way or any other way, but come to think of it; I did have a whole fantasies thing with Simon LeBon and Nick Rhodes.  I may talk about them in good spirit or repeat a rumor that I do not believe in, and I will wish them happiness.  Of course if I don't like an actor or two, well there must be a reason.  However the kid that I am about to talk about in this piece has cause me to have mixed emotions which is quite an accomplishment because I do not do emotions.  I first saw this kid (Sidebar: Yes I get to call him a kid because he is younger than the 5 years radius in which I would date him.) when I was living in Istanbul, Turkey (2001 - 2004) in the movie Bend It Like Beckman (2002)! I am a huge fan of Keira Knightley and I love it when she does time pieces.  I think she is at her most beautiful-ness when she does those kind of movies.  I saw him and I though he ...

Now I am not one to seek revenge out on people for any reasons.  Yeah, I will cut them with a few words but to simple go after them and do actual damage to their reputation or cause some major bodily harm is way too much for me to do.  However I am one to say the I do believe in Karma and I have always say that what goes comes around, and it will come back to the person who did the harm to some one or to those who had not cause them harm in any way.  For me revenge is when some one who told you that they never do something in regards to you, due to one reason or another wind up having to come to you in humbleness and sometimes in shame.  But that is not always the case especially in marriages and friendship.  Lord knows us women can be extremely vindictive towards our husbands (or at least I can be when I get marriage again).  We woman will try to and often success in taking everything away from him just so that he does not have to opportunity to share wi...

Happy August people!  I know for some people this is the month that you have been waiting for.  Why? Because your kids go back to school!  And you are looking forward the having that peace and quiet for those few hours at home.  You will be able to get most of your house hold chores done, complete those long waiting errors without having the kids in your hair, and perhaps getting to salon on time for once.  However with this month also brings a new set of goals to complete and those few remain tasks from last month to finish up on.  but this month I also want to discuss what is going on here in Milwaukee with the Bus drives vs. the city negotiations.  These negotiations have been going on for quite some time now and there has even been a 3 days stop drinking strikes. ( Don't get me started!) As I writing about this, I believe that it will come in 3 or 4 pieces; depending on how pissed off I get in writing it! Of course I thoroughly having conversati...
