We get a lot of telemarketers calling us during the course of the business day. We can usually tell that the call is a telemarketer by: 1. A pre-recorded voice that starts speaking as soon as we pick up the phone. 2. Dead silence for 3 – 5 seconds while their phone systems directs the…
Is anyone as sick as I am of seeing all these commercials for various pharmaceutical companies telling us to “ask our doctor” about this pill, that shot, this medicine, that remedy? First of all, who can afford to take all those medications? Secondly, what about all of the side effects? Thirdly, it seems as if…
On the Late News the other night I heard a reporter refer to dog fighting as a “sport.” The American Heritage Dictionary describes “sport” as: 1. An active pastime or diversion 2. A specific diversion, as athletics or hunting 3. Light mockery 4. One known for the manner of his acceptance of rules or a…
Those of you who missed the changing of the leaves this year missed a breath-takingly beautiful event. The yellows and golds were astounding; the reds and oranges took my breath away; the greens and browns permeated my very being. How fortunate we are to live in a world where such beauty exists!
I lived in this house for 14 years when one day I came home from the grocery store to find City workers painting a 25 foot yellow stripe on my curb where I park my car. My house is only 25 feet wide. It is a duplex, so the other side of my house where…
One of the reasons I bought this duplex was because it was situated next to a church, and I didn’t have to worry about barking dogs, loud parties, or bad neighbors. Oh, how wrong I was. Where I pictured activity only on Sunday mornings, I couldn’t have been more wrong about that, either. This church…
How is it that years ago, banks stayed open for their patron’s convenience. I remember my bank in Harrisburg opened at 8 a.m. so I could get there before going to work; the lobby closed at 3 p.m.; but the drive through window was open until 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 7 p.m. on…
Where has Customer Service gone? I can’t find it anymore. I got hung up on twice in 2 calls to AT&T’s round robin of taped instructions. It wasn’t a real person who cut me off. It was their system. This happened to a friend of mine, too when trying to speak with Verizon. When calling…
Years ago, the battle cry was “Buy American!” People were regularly checking where products were manufactured before buying them. This still needs to happen. If you are buying Japanese cars, don’t wonder why our economy is down!
Recently, I settled down to a new episode of “Quantico.” I had been looking forward to it. I got to the part where two men were kissing on the lips in public in daylight, and a thunderstorm interrupted the program and sent my DirecTV off looking for a signal. It came back on a few…
In the newspaper recently from Tribune Newspapers and News Services was the headline, “Appeal for calm after weeks of unrest.” “Nablus, West Bank – A Palestinian prepares to throw a Molotov cocktail at Israeli troops during clashes Tuesday in the West Bank city of Nablus. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called for calm after several weeks…
It’s a big fat curvy “W” folks, just like in George ___ Bush. Both Walgreen’s Drug Stores and the Washington Nationals share the same “W.” I don’t know if there’s a connection there – top baseball club and a drug store who looks out for third world countries with their flu shots program. Ummm. Let…
