  • Our Relationship with Voting

    I need to be very clear, we are speaking of voting in Montague County, Texas and how easy and safe it is here. What you experience in your county could be something completely different and we understand that. We hope you did get a glimpse into our situation and above all, we encourage you to go vote!

  • Our Relationship with Masks

    In my Winedown Wednesday group last night, the question was asked by one of my gal pals..."Do you think this Coronavirus is a bunch of Hooey"? For those not from Texas, Hooey is defined as nonsense — often used in phrases like a bunch of hooey and a load of hooey. She was serious in her questioning though because she had heard someone say, "This whole Pandemic was Hooey"! She was polling us as to our thoughts and that got me to thinking about masks and how "Mask Wearing" is quite a point of contention around these parts and maybe other places in the U.S. as well. I have my reasons for wearing masks and when I forget to wear a mask into a public venue these days it is because I have weighed the chances of coming into close proximity to people and/or I just forgot to put one on...which does not happen very often but makes me feel horrible when it does! Thanks to CNN for doing some of the research in my podcast so I did not have to. Also, thanks to the Ad Council for the great Public Service Announcement on the 2020 Census. Remember, Make your family count, fill out the census.

  • Our Relationship with Technology...and why it sometimes makes us want to drink more!

    I told my friend Sharon who is a great Friend of the Pod (FOP) that I originally had a title for this podcast "Our Relationship with Technology..and how it is only making our lives better" but at some point along the way when all the tech failed my friends and I this week and we spiraled out of control a bit, I changed the name to "Our Relationship with Technology...and why it sometimes makes us want to drink more!" Even though I have a real love affair with technology of all kinds, even I have my limits and I think I bumped the ceiling this week. 

    Please enjoy this latest podcast about the ups and downs, ins and outs of technology during the time of Covid-19 and how we react to those times.

    Thank you to www.betteraging.com and John Manuel Andriot with www.Psychologytoday.com for doing some of the research so I did not have to.

  • Our Relationship with the Facts
    We talk about relationships on this podcast and as much as I try to stick with that, it is hard when I want to talk about truth, fiction and outright falsehoods. I try not to politicize at all times and today is yet another attempt at that. This podcast's confirmed virus numbers were correct at the time of recording on May 22nd. Those numbers on May 22nd 2020 were 1,611,297 confirmed cases and 95,213 deaths.
    At the time of release, on May 26th, these are the Virus Numbers: In the U.S., Confirmed cases 1,707,603 and Confirmed Deaths 99,886.
    Just four short days...

  • Our New Normal

    What are some of the good things that have come from this pandemic or more likely you can better express the things that make you have very strong feelings? I try to best explain my views on the subject by analyzing the good, the bad and the ugly of our "New Normal".

    Please take a few minutes and rate and review me on Apple Podcasts...its how I can be found and listened to easier! Better yet, Share this podcast with all your friends and maybe they will get a chuckle out of it. Thanks for being a loyal listener!

  • Ahhhh, to be 20 years old and living in a pandemic in Europe!
    I spoke with my daughter about the ups and downs of University life in a foreign country and how that really affects your anxiety, your life, your relationships and your ability to get toilet paper. Covid-19 has put a damper on many things but it has also opened up her eyes to see the good in slowing down and helping one another.

  • A short history of the 1918 influenza
    A pandemic happens a few times in a century and depending on its severity most folks will not remember one pandemic from the others. In 1918, America experienced a very severe Influenza outbreak rivaling what is happening today. There are several similarities and most all of those similarities seem like they had to do with socialization and spread of the disease. I though today's podcast could focus on those while providing some much needed perspective of the 1918 flu.
