On Dating and Prostitution

It seems that since brothels have closed and prostitution become generally illegal in most parts, this has had the effect of pushing these men who would frequent these into the general dating pool and now they expect all women to behave in this manner, all while presenting themselves as in search of a long termContinue reading “On Dating and Prostitution”

More on Hurricanes: Hurricane Prep

Here I am today to bring you an episode titled MMK on Hurricane Prep. I consider myself semi qualified having endured two official hurricanes during my residence in Florida (Irma, 2017 and Ian, 2022) and innumerable hurricane scares and tropical storms. So here it is. Let me put this caveat out there first of all….iContinue reading “More on Hurricanes: Hurricane Prep”

On Feeding Highschoolers

It’s taken me a while to get into the swing of public school … six years exactly ☺️Before that we were a crazy, weird homeschool family. Just kidding. I loved every minute of spending that time with my kids when they were young, all the field trips and hands on learning. Then we moved andContinue reading “On Feeding Highschoolers”

Our Kids

Today I was thinking on the issue of so many kids having issues in school, with ADHD, autism, sensory issues, allergies, and every condition in between. In essence, having a student with issues in the school system has basically become the norm. At first I hypothesized in my conspiratorially minded way that the parents, andContinue reading “Our Kids”

From my Dad I inherited a zest for life and positive, adventurous outlook, longevity genes and sun hardy skin. But aside from that here are my daily tips. AContinue reading “My Secrets”

Timeshare Part II 🏖️🗺️🏨

Maybe that doesn’t make sense to anyone but me. We are up here again this weekend for aContinue reading “Timeshare Part II 🏖️🗺️🏨”

On Meat

I have been a mostly vegetarian for the past 34 years of my now 50 years. I do occasionally consume fish or seafood. I do eat dairy and eggs (though in the beginning I didn’t). I had a friend who gave me a lot of frozen Costco meat for my five kids because he stoppedContinue reading “On Meat”

On Energy ☀️💨⛽️

I have three comments on the current hyperactivity on moving toward different energy sources. 1. We should wait until we have actual reasonable workable alternatives. 2. We need to remember that all energy has a source…electricity to power electric cars still must be sourced from other energy. 3. It is immoral to require people toContinue reading “On Energy ☀️💨⛽️”

Encouragement for Those Considering Divorce 🙏✨

I have a friend considering divorce. When she shared about her experience it takes me back to that tortuous period of the end of my marriage. The lead in the belly feeling of walking into the marital home, the feeling that dissonance could break out from its latent state into a full fledged conflict atContinue reading “Encouragement for Those Considering Divorce 🙏✨”
