AT&T Strikes Out With Outages
Note: This will not be an opinionated post but rather an informative post. AT&T has become a hot topic for many people for a while now. Data breach, no 911 phone calls, internet outages and now cellphone outages. Internet outages and cellphone outages are still taking place. Customers are unhappy not only with the outages but also that AT&T failed to disclose that information to them, according to social media. According to various articles, AT&T Technicians are on strike for wage increases and benefits. I’m uncertain if there are additional reasons. It is to my understanding that the AT&T strike is ongoing with no estimated end time. Some websites, including…

New Year, New Posts
The blog is going to be getting a revamp, starting with posts. So, for the next couple of months there will be a series of different types of posts to see what does better (Thanks Anjali! Lol). February is the month for Valentines. Ironically, drinking out of a pink and purple cup (Thanks Work Mom, Sally!) while typing this. I don’t get into the holiday much but watching people scramble last minute for flowers and candy can be highly entertaining! Plus… discount chocolate day is a win… enough said! Not Another Valentine’s Day Post! So, what’s happening on the blog in February? There will be a series of makeup and…

Goodbye 2023
New Year’s Eve is here and 2023 is coming to an end. December flew by in the blink of an eye. A couple of my friends and I were talking about how 2023 woke us up and in 2024 we hope to do things differently. Did 2023 change you? What do you hope for in the New Year? I’m currently getting lost in the past with my Dad’s Spotify playlist. It’s amazing how something such as music or writing can effect us so much, words in song and words on physical paper or digital paper. Don’t go around tonightWell, it’s bound to take your lifeThere’s a bad moon on the…

Elderly Techie Criticism
So, many gens seem to be giving a lot of hate toward older (some would say elderly) people for not understanding current technology (such as social media, various mobile apps, computers, etc.). I’m guilty of getting annoyed in the past as well. Dealing with so many customers at work that aren’t tech savvy (different ages, not just older ages!) taught me a very valuable lesson. Growing up with modern technology and not growing up with modern technology makes a huge difference in understanding it. If we don’t teach those who don’t understand it then how can we expect them to understand it? What age is considered elderly? People are living…

Light Pucks Are a Win!
Ready for something simple, possibly a little non-budget friendly but completely worth the investment? Energizer makes puck lights that are battery (AAA) powered and operated with a remote. Ever had a remote for battery powered “candles”? The remote is similar to that! The remote features buttons that include a dimming option and timer. Note: Timer is optional. The amount of light that one puck light ignites is enough to light up a very small room but also isn’t harsh on the eyes. Not enough light? No problem, just toss another puck in the room! The lights are available in white and color changing. The round puck lights are small, think…

Missy’s Top Three Jerky Treats
Let’s face it, we drop more money than necessary on our pets because they’re our babies. Between the treats and the toys (and so much more), it’s enough to ask your Boss for a raise. When your Boss inquires about the reason for such raise, simply inform him or her that without such raise your pet will starve as it needs a life of luxury. Kidding, of course, don’t start that conversation! It can only lead to living in a cardboard box. All jokes aside, times are tough but we try our best to keep our pets happy and well fed. Missy’s favorite treats consist of jerky and more jerky.…

St. John: Group Homes and Halfway Houses
Group homes and halfway houses can be good or bad, pending how they are run and whether or not the homes/houses cause outside trouble. If you live in St. John the Baptist Parish you might have noticed a lot of community issues as of late. Some community issues include that of group homes and or halfway houses of the bad kind. Complaints are being made but changes can’t be seen. One question remains, is St. John the Baptist Parish not handling the issues or is the State not handling the issues? If the issues are being handled but the issues are becoming increasingly worse… what needs to be done? Due…
