It's the week before we travel to  Chicago for the United State Cyclocross National Championships. The McShanes have a long history with this race and we're talking about it and our hiatus and now our (hopefully) triumphant return.

Follow our progress on instagram http://www.instagram.com/lesleylmcshane. I'll be posting what the hell is going on where we are.

There will also probably be things on Facebook. If you want to read this blog go my website https://llmcshane.com

Until next week friends - Rate and Review and all that good stuff.

Later - LLM

On this holiday version of the Friday Night BeerBlog we're continuing with the theme of gratitude and being thankful year round. Get that box of thankfulness out of the attic where the rest of the Thanksgiving decorations are being stored and get to it.

We hope all 5 of you enjoy the Friday Night BeerBlog and come back to listen next week.  Follow or Subscribe to the podcast if you are a die-hard fan like me.

I'm on instagram at http://www.instagram.com/lesleylmcshane and my website is https://llmcshane.com and all the crap is there.

Much love!!

Tonight is a split version of the FNBB - Mike is in North Carolina to race and I am back at the homestead with the pups. But that hasn't kept us from our weekly duty of coming to you with the Friday Night BeerBlog. 

This week I am talking about how when you ghost someone in your teens and twenties that is mean, but ghosting in adulthood is just plain rude. And I know from experience because I have been ghosted by the same person TWICE in the last month. 

The message is clear. Don't say YES if you don't mean YES. If you mean NO, just say NO. There are no egos here to be wounded, just people to get pissed off if you treat them like their time doesn't mean anything. Wow, did I say that out loud.

Anyway, we hope you enjoy this week's Friday Night BeerBlog. We're here every week for all 5 of you that listen. 

Make sure that you FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE - I have to say that. It's in my contract.

Till next week - LLM

Woah! It's been a week, but I've been thinking a lot about this week's blog subject all week because last week I waited for Mike for nearly 2 hours before we were about to record the FNBB. So this week I just had to write about how I am lumped in with Mike and his tardiness - arriving everywhere on "McShane Time".

We hope you listened and if you did you need a reward. If you dig our kind of thing - please FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE. All six that listened last week, you are on a pathway to heaven. 

The actual blog is at my website https://llmcshane.com. Go check that out if you indeed read.

My serious podcast is The New Old You and comes out every Wednesday. You'll probably enjoy it more, just sayin'. 

Thanks for reading this and we'll be back next week, if you're lucky.

It's my third FNBB in a row about social media. Mike thinks it is a mini-series like The Thorn Birds, I told him he is old and it is more like a limited series like Bridgerton. We agree to disagree.

This week I'm talking about how I was taken aback by a message from Instagram this week about how a comment that I made on someone else's post 2 weeks ago has been removed. I was mortified and couldn't think if truly I had said something that fell into their hate speech guidelines. But when I read the comment I asked for a review and am sure that someone "reported" the comment out of error.

But still, the thought that I did something wrong or broke the rules, shook me to the core. I've still got a lot of work to do in the people pleasing category.

Thanks for listening - FOLLOW, RATE, and REVIEW - it's the least you can do, right?! haha. JK. Please do it though.

Till next week - Later - LLM

On this week's Friday Night BeerBlog, we're talking about the bad side of social media. Last week I was saying that we need to get up to speed on social media and this week I'm saying it that it is ultimately up to us seasoned veterans to protect our young sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, grands from the ugly side of such an amazing format.

I felt a calling to talk about this this week after hearing from a friend that his nephew had taken his life after the prodding of faceless people over the internet. That just ain't right.

Protect the young ones. Make sure they know that they are perfect the way they are and that they are loved. Because love isn't earned, it is freely given.

Make sure to FOLLOW this podcast and RATE and REVIEW so that more people hear that these discussions are happening.

On this week's The New Old You, Mary Glover is talking about Functional Fitness here:

And this next week I'll be talking to Paula Hensley and her mom, Peggy Tojo about Peggy's husband internment in a Japanese Camp after the break of WWII. You won't want to miss it.

On this week's Friday Night BeerBlog I'm reading Mike my blog about how it would behoove all of us midlifers need to "get up" on our social media skills. It may seem like a frivolous way to spend your time or something that only the youngsters do, but I'm telling you - if you want a new job in Communication, Marketing, Promotion, or want to be able to communicate with your grandchildren in the future, you'd better get on the digital train now.

As always, we hope you enjoy our little diddy, the Friday Night BeerBlog. We enjoy bringing it to you - usually. :)  If you've enjoyed hanging with us, make sure to FOLLOW, RATE, and REVIEW.

Mel Robbins should be on The New Old You. This blog and podcast is my plea to her and her team on why she should give me 30 minutes. Women 50+ need to hear her to encourage them in this new phase - as well as help them figure out the best way to prepare our kids leave the nest without fear of their mental health.

Keeping it short. Go to my website at https://llmcshane.com - sign up for updates.

Follow or Subscribe to this podcast and to The New Old You.

Go buy Mel's book at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/High-Habit-Take-Control-Simple/dp/B09DTFV5FH/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3MLEWM0ITO12X&dchild=1&keywords=the+high+five+habit&qid=1634345016&sprefix=The+high%2Caps%2C725&sr=8-1

Thanks for listening - we'll be back next week, with or without Mel.

Y'all!! I had a real, live job interview this week. I haven't interviewed for a job in over 20 years. But I didn't sweat it. I decided to let the answers flow, and it worked out for me, even though I haven't heard about the job.

I felt that answering from my heart was the ultimate way to give truth to all my answers. I hate preconceived answers to interview questions - speak from the heart. They'll never see it coming!

It could be the @milewidebeerco beer talking, but know yourself and the rest will follow.

Peace.

Happy Friday everybody!

I did a thing and took my own advice!! I'll let you listen to find out what it was, but it is quite the phenomenon when you shut up long enough to listen to your own wise words - the words you often share with others instead of yourself.

It's been a great week and my heart is light as you'll hear about in the podcast.

I hope you enjoy and then you take a second to rate or review this podcast. We have a blast doing it and now we have some return on investment to work on. :)

This week's episode is brought to you by Milewide Beer Co. (https://www.milewidebeer.com/). If you are ever in Louisville, KY and are looking for an amazing local brew, give them a go. you won't be disappointed. Make sure to mention Mike and Lesley, just to hear them say, "Who??"

Life is good friends. Enjoy every day and we'll see you next week.

Make sure to FOLLOW the freaking podcast! And rate that you love it and review only good things. Or....no beer for you.
