I just started watching the Mary Tyler Moore Show and I’m hooked. As a child I remember waiting for these shows to come on it was 1970 I was four years old but I knew what was on and looked forward to what was on television. But back in 1970 if you missed an episode you missed it. Now I know where to find it and I can watch an entire series and binge watch everything. So my question for you is which series have you watched from beginning to end? What did you enjoy? And where did it take you. I love that I can find a show watch it from beginning to end and enjoy at my own leisure.

There was an estate sale across the street on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was really busy. There was traffic coming from both directions and people were walking on sidewalks because there was no where to park. During this commotion, I saw two puppies, trying to dodge cars, run away from people and they looked really scared. Immediately, I went out and I scooped up these two pups and held them while I sat on my front porch swing. I hope you enjoy this episode, find me at [email protected].

Today was an amazing day. I was able to help a crew of people clean out a house. There were two other women in this house. We all bonded. We all had piles of things to take home and it was amazing. Listen to this episode and maybe find a way to do something fun today I did just that. I was sweating. I was all dusty and I had a blast. Thanks for listening.

Hiiiiiiieeeeee!!!!! This episode is to help you be an amazing guest in any future podcast episodes. I have had situations where my dogs are barking, and I’ve had to interrupt the episode and start at a point where I can delete the barking of the dogs. Things happen, people knock on the door, and my dogs have to defend their territory, but if someone is opening a soda can or whipping up eggs, or walking away from the phone or flushing a toilet, these are not acceptable. I know as a listener people do not want to hear that. I asked my friend Edith to assist me and be the bad guest on this mini episode. We kept it short and we hope that you found humor and laughter while learning that every sound on an episode is probably accidental. Thanks for listening and I hope that you appreciate every sound that you hear from now on ha ha. See you soon. Byyyyyeeeeeee!!!!

This episode deals with toxic positivity. It’s everywhere you look. On shirts, on wall art, in television shows and movies, everywhere. I grew up with toxic positivity, it was a constant in my childhood and young adult life. I think Gen Xers have dealt with toxic positivity, and now can recognize it for what it’s worth. Life is not always “good vibes only.” I’m 56 now and I can see it. I can recognize it and I can get past it. This episode has played in my head for days. I watched BEEF on Netflix with Ali Wong and I related to Amy’s character on so many levels. I could see how George her husband character in the show shut her up with his strong sense of toxic positivity. So many people in my life shut me down and hushed me up with their toxic positivity. So many times I was told you’re crazy, calm down, and really calm and to look for a silver lining. Being told that things happen for a reason or to accept it because things could be worse were the adult’s way of coping. I hope this episode will guide you to understanding toxic positivity and identifying when it is in your face. Thanks for listening. See you soon. Bye!

This is a grandmother story about alterations done on clothing. A quarter inch was always the standard for those individuals who were never happy with the initial fitting. There were many men and women who assigned my grandmother and extra layer of work. They left happily as they gave her more of a task to their garment. She happily looked at their article of clothing as it hung in the hallway. A quarter of an inch was so minuscule but they asked for the extra service. These people were told the task would be completed. They felt validated in how amazing the garment was after the quarter inch was altered and when my grandmother told them that they were right…a quarter inch made all the difference.
