Podcast: Bridge To Better
Hey Readers, Just dropping a quick post today. I stumbled across a new podcast or new to me at least. Bridge To Better is not your typical podcast. It brings people together from different walks of life with different opinions but bypasses the drama that is typical on social media, the news, etc. It is raw and opens us up to everyday people instead of only Hollywood. Guests can be anonymous or choose to use their real name. I love the purpose of Bridge To Better and hope to see it become well known by all. Have a favorite podcast?

My Top 5 Most Used Apps In 2020
This post might be a little late for favorite apps in 2020 but some say 2021 doesn’t begin until this month. There is an app for almost anything, from work related to game related and everything in between. For a look at my top 5 favorite apps used the most in 2020 take a look at the list below. PicCollage – PicCollage is a lot of fun! It isn’t picture collages only, cards can be created as well. There a lot of premade templates but plenty enough features on the app to create something from scratch. List Ease – List Ease is great for making lists when phone space is…

A Christmas Wish
The holidays can bring upon happy moments but they can also bring upon unhappy moments. The struggle, for various reasons, for some people during this time of the year can be very difficult. Be mindful of those you know and those around you for not everyone is as okay as they may seem. Keeping all of that in mind, I have a wish for all of my readers this Christmas and beyond. May you all have a roof over your head, a bed to rest your head, food to fill your belly, an aura of comfort and a safety net to protect you. Finally, may any emotional struggles that you…

Health Insurance Problems
While many people seem to rave about Obamacare/Marketplace Health Insurance I have never experienced anything good with said insurance. Prior to Obamacare my health insurance premium was $90 per month with a $5,000 hospital deductible. General Doctor visits were $25 and generic prescription medications were $5. When Obamacare came out the cost of insurance increased to over $400 per month for myself. The amount of coverage decreased by half and I could not see almost any Doctor that I wanted to see. Since then I have been without insurance. My Mother had Obamacare for 1 1/2 years. Between premiums, co-pays, etc. she dumped $30,000 into Obamacare with horrific coverage. Prior…

HP 17z Laptop Adapter Fix
For those of you that have a HP 17z Laptop you might have run into a problem with the adapter’s blue tip (the portion that plugs into the laptop itself). Sometimes the pin inside of the blue tip will bend and become flushed against the inside of the blue tip, making it impossible to plug into the HP 17z Laptop. After a lot of trial and error I discovered a quick fix for this! You will need one of the most useful and basic sewing tools out there… a seam ripper! The thickness of the “needle” is perfect and the handle enables you to work with the pin inside of…

Five Things I Learned When My Parent Passed Away
Today’s post is going to be a little bit personal but hopefully it helps someone that needs to hear, or rather read, it. My Father passed away from cancer, which some of you already know. Nothing prepared us for that. In light of the circumstances here are five things that I learned when my Father passed away. Saying Goodbye – When it’s time to say goodbye it is never as simple as you think it will be in your head. You can play it out in your mind a thousand times and it will never be exactly what you think. At some point it will never be simple and it…

Ghosting Social Media
Hey Readers, Over the week the blog has been silent and I more or less ghosted social media this weekend. I was in desperate need of a break. Sometimes life gets crazy and the hot mess of social media adds to the pile. Happy belated Mother’s Day to all of the Mother’s out there! My Mother received an interesting Mother’s Day gift early from me. On Friday flowers were delivered… along with a pack of toilet paper! Needless to say there was plenty of amusement with that gift considering the toilet paper issue in the world right now. Mother’s Day dinner consisted of lasagna, portioned out and decorated restaurant style.…

First Time Shipt User
Due to COVID-19 grocery pickup and deliveries have become very popular. Looks like Amazon has a lot more competition in the grocery department these days! Grocery shopping inside of a store is definitely not on my to do list. I have been using grocery pickup a lot. Shipt and Instacart are very popular subscription services for grocery deliveries. I finally caved and decided to try one. According to a lot of talk on the internet most people say Instacart has more hidden fees compared to Shipt. In light of that I opted for Shipt. Shopping online with Shipt was similar to shopping online with Walmart and the local grocery store…

Sometimes It’s Worth It
To all of you that work in customer service in some shape or form, you all understand what it’s like when a lot of customers can be mean and sometimes treat you like dirt. Dealing with customers like that can sometimes give you feelings of not wanting to go into work some days. One simple action made today, at the very least, worth it. We have been calling older customers, checking in on them due to COVID-19. Yesterday the office received a letter from one of those older customers. It was a full page, handwritten and all. He stated that one of the ladies in the office called him, informed…
