Food for Thought: Question 1


So as technology becomes more and more a part of our lives.  And those of us who truly know how to use technology to make our lives so simple, I have a very good question to ask.

Would you rather lose the use of all motorized vehicles, all telecommunication devices and computers, or one of your hands?

Motorized vehicles are becoming computer enhanced to start by themselves, warm your ass, and finally include that all important map for men to find their way around, since they don’t like to ask for directions. I often hear some people complaint about how they don’t like cars becoming more like computers with a hard drive in them.  Because some of you may have experience where your car stopped in the middle of the street and caused an accident.  And what is the first excuse that you should use?  It is the manufacture fault!! But why can’t it be the driver’s fault since he or she probably did not completely read the car manual to know how to work the car and use the car to its fullest.  Dealers only gives you clip notes about the car to sale it. I love it when a non-tech savvy person purchase a new technology car and then get mad at the technology.  So not the car’s fault people!!

With a show of hand, how many of you can go a day without using your smart phone?  Millions of y’all cannot go 5 minutes.   Some of y’all are even like me and sleep with your cell phone and\or tablet or laptop in the bed with you, right?  Yeah, I am woman enough to admit that and would often prefer them than a man in the bed with me.   Oops! 

I remember the telephone being a much bigger device that sat on the table somewhere in the corner of the living room or on the wall in the kitchen.  Standing there with the receiver in one hand and your other hand on your hip with an expression on your face as you ask the question “Why wasn’t Bobby Jo smart enough to figure that out?” Or “Where in the hell is Marsha?”

If you really think about it, the game Operation was your computer back then, and today we have the Kindle.  Okay that is my new game board that I can carry in my purse.  All 35 games for now, to entertainment me even when I am on a boring date. 
Because of telecommunication devices and computers, some of y’all do not know how to leave work at work!  Some of you husbands need to explain to your wife that your job is your mistress.  And you are really having a hard time breaking up with the laptop because she does not know how to accept “no” for an answer.  Advice: stop giving her input.

But to lose a left or right hand, then how will I wash the dishes?  I would need to find a new way to put my cousins in a head lock.  You know some people use both hands to get off, I cannot image how will work out.

So to answer the question that I asked, I would pick motorized vehicles because I need my hands to order Uber on my telecommunication device.

Until next time.

Breaking the Cycle!

As a parent we always want the best for our child(ren)., and we start with educating them on things that we think that would be best for them to know as they grow up.  I was still a teenager when I became pregnant with my only child, Nicolas.  Did I wanted a child at that time?  No I didn't and it was my mother who said to keep him and that she would help me raise him.  My mother was also a teenage parent starting with me and a year later came my one of two brothers.  Now you are probably thinking that my mother why didn't she teach me not to become a teenage parent?   I am assuming that and I was right, that she did not know how.  She wanted to do my best with my life but she did not know to explain to me how to go about living life.  Growing up with 3 younger siblings I saw the struggles that my mother went through, and in my head I knew that I was not willing to do some of things that she.  I knew in my head that if I was ...

Coming this Month in September!

Lord have mercy, we are in another month for the year 2015.  If some of y'all like me and you saying this year is flying by . . .for some of us this a good while for others it may not. For a lot of parents this is a good thing because it is the start of another school for their children who are going back to school or have already started school.  Who is doing the dance of joy on this one?  If you don't have little ones still at home, this means peace and quiet for you at home until 3 p.m. For other parents it means fewer less children. ( Geçmiş olsun!)  But it also brings all the after school programs, those parent-teacher conferences that many parents dread, and those Fridays' night games. For all you new college students, for the first month you will be stupid to things but after that you will be okay.  For all you second year students who did not learn anything in your first year, then consider yourself still stupid!  For you third ye...

The Istanbul Chronicles: Moving Stuff

Here is another one of Glenna and I adventures. When Glenna and I were getting to know each other, I knew that she lived in an area call Maltepe. To be actual she lived on Methap Sok., Mercan #7  Apt. 4, Adatepe.   It was quite some ways from me being 45 minutes by a mini-bus (I live those things).  I had often visited her at her at her apartment as she had often visited our apartment, especially for coffee. In Glenna's apartment, she had a lot of nice big real wood furniture that I would have loved to own and I am still mad to this day that we were not able to remove majority them away from Edward. While she was there in their apartment, Glenna by herself was trying to move those pieces around because of how big furniture was they were not moving for her. (Glenna is a tiny woman, I tell you.) She said she had been asking Edward to get some help in moving some of the furniture down stair into the storage assigned storage unit.  But talking to Edward was like ta...
