COGNITIVE DECLINE We should be concerned about having leaders with cognitive decline. No duh! We’ve had a few during my lifetime. OPTION A: RETIREMENT AGE. Part 1: I am a proponent of limiting the age at which elected AND appointed officials may continue to serve. For me it is not an issue of whether that person has physical or cognitive …

GUEST POST from Don: Kid Tech +
SAFER TECH (and cheap) FOR KIDS What mobile tech do you want your 9 or 12 year old girl (or boy) to have? Up until a couple years ago the choices were limited, expensive, and BAD. There were no inexpensive or GOOD choices. Your options were between an Apple or Android phone. Yes, you could …

GUEST POST from Don – Contemptible Resentment
CONTEMPTIBLE RESENTMENT We know about road rage and things like gaslighting because they are continually in the news or part of posts on the internet. Well! You know you can trust the internet to explain things well, right??? But what about Resentment and Contempt. Of the two I believe more people misunderstand Contempt. Resentment causes Contempt, rarely the other way …

GUEST POST from Don – Improving On…
IMPROVING ON… There are things “wise guys” say … which I believe don’t match reality. I’m sure I can improve on their kind of “wisdom.” The following ARE actual quotes from modern “medicine men.” 1. “Don’t Complain. Do something about it.” Except most of the things about which we complain are things OUTSIDE our control. Weather, government websites, stupid human …

GUEST POST from Don – Templates +
TIRED OF TEMPLATES + It is true that if you look for anything on the internet you will often find the lowest possible denominator. What pops up first is the site most clicked, not the most informative or accurate. However, I’ve never operated that way. I look first for reputable sites. I go to places like Cleveland Clinic or …

GUEST POST from Don – Not Worth Extra
NOT WORTH EXTRA The following is about how we THINK and how to change how we think. I will use money to illustrate. I’m working through this saying… “Some things are worth the extra they cost” Ask 50 people and you’ll get 50 answers. They’re all wrong, but they are adults and they have equity retirement investments and their …

GUEST POST from Don – Food Safety Explained
FOOD SAFETY EXPLAINED Neither my wife nor I have ever experienced food-borne illnesses. Maybe that is pure luck, or maybe it isn’t. We know people who have gotten sick from bad food and they may have made some preventable mistakes. For instance, my niece got sick after eating cookie dough. It had raw eggs in it and people aren’t …

GUEST POST from Don – I Want a Car
I WANT A CAR Driving home after dark from Tennessee recently, my wife touched a button on the steering wheel by mistake and exclaimed, “I don’t know what I just told the car to do.” Nothing showed up on the dashboard, but if you change a radio station a light on the dash tells you. Why would …

GUEST POST from Don – Reversible Dementia
REVERSIBLE DEMENTIA Although never mentioned in articles about “scientific ways to reduce the probability of dementia,” here are some ACTUAL scientific ways…found in weird, unheard of places like the government’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Springer.com websites. There is a moderate list of correctable physical issues which can cause dementias or symptoms of dementia. It …

GUEST POST from Don – Shopping Carts
SHOPPING CARTS I’ve a bit of concern about shopping cart etiquette. Having been a business owner I know the value of maintaining quality equipment. I took care of my tools and experienced over a decade of use with one daily-used hand sprayer. Techs couldn’t seem to keep theirs functioning longer than 2 years. An average well-cared for shopping cart …
