How to improve your driving in 10 seconds or less...

Follow these EASY instructions to improve your driving in 10 seconds or less:

1) Press the red button on your cellphone.
2) Place it on the console or passenger seat.
3) Pay attention to your DRIVING. That's the reason why you are actually in the car.

Thank you for reading my blog.

I'm estimating I encounter about 40% of the drivers on the highway with a cellphone pressed to their face while driving. Many appear oblivious that they are driving. It's like they are subliminally in auto-pilot because they are consciously yacking with someone. Too often they are so preoccupied with their conversation they don't realize they are tailgating as well.

So, take a tip from me. Obey the law. Put the phone down and drive.
If you must talk, get a Bluetooth earpiece, headset or a hands free adapter.
The phone doesn't belong at your head.

That's my PSA (Public Service Announcement) for the month of October

You know I'm kidding... don't you?
Not long ago only 3 or 4 of us were posting blogs and less making blog comments...
I literally begged some people to blog here.

Well, it's happening. I'm DELIGHTED to see all of the activity going on at Asia Friend Finder.
It's a good feeling to see all the participation in the blog section!

Daddy's Girl 101

If you've ever taken college/university courses, you know how the numbering system works.
This is the primary lesson (101) in how to be daddy's girl...

You are a naive young girl aspiring to be a Daddy's girl, but you're going to need some help.
First lesson today is: "Ask for a pony when all you wanted was a puppy"

The reasoning behind this is to aim really high. If you ask for a puppy, daddy will say
"Honey, the economy is bad, we really cannot afford a puppy right now.
Besides, it's a lot of responsibility on your part. Wouldn't you really like to have some goldfish?"

You and I know this is BS and TOTALLY unacceptable. You want a freakin' puppy... not goldfish.

No two ways about this. Right?

So 'blow him out of the water' and ask for a pony.
Watch his eyes roll in their sockets while he soaks this in, then say "Jenny's parents are getting her a white stallion for her birthday..."

Expect his next few words to have a studder. "B Bu Butt... W We Ca Ca Cannot afford a phony honey"
(notice he didn't say pony correctly? his knees are beginning to buckle)

That's when you have him in your sights. Time to go for it.
Offer your lowest bid (and look really, really sad when you say this) "Then will you get me a puppy daddy?"

He will be so relieved, you'll get that puppy after all.

That's my Daddy's Girl!

You have successfully completed your first lesson in Daddy's Girl 101.
Go get some ice cream to celebrate.

Thanks for reading. Give me a big hug!
In my next lesson of Daddy's Girl, I'll show you teenage girls how to parlay a hand me down Chevy Nova into a shiny new Acura Integra for your first year away at college.

Lunar eclipse viewed from Miami...

I stepped outside around 6:15am to see the eclipse toward the West, about 15 degrees above the horizon in a partly cloudy sky.
I should have gotten up earlier as it was already a few minutes past the full eclipse (penumbra) and a small portion of direct light was beginning to show.
From Miami, I only saw the greyish coloration and not the blood red as some of the news stories listed.
Getting ready for work, I didn't get outside until 7 o'clock and the moon had already dropped below the horizon.

It's called Windows 10...

Soon... the complaints about Windows 8 and 8.1 will be over. Well, we hope. There was talk in the industry that Microsoft was working on Windows 9 as a solution to bring back the familiar desktop with start menu that left us after Windows 7.
Windows 9 discussions appears to be old news and updates this week say Microsoft is rolling out what they are calling Windows 10 in a tech preview (beta-testing for experts & IT pros) as rough, unpolished versions for users to try and offer feedback to Microsoft.

This preview appears to be available for download from their website and includes a feedback app you can submit reviews/requests directly to Microsoft.

I'm happy to hear the news and if any of you techie guys get the jump on this, please comment your findings to my blog. Thanks!

When your blog gets pulled from the front page...

I wrote a blog yesterday that appeared on the front page like normal. Then it disappeared. It's on my blog list but it's being repressed from showing on the main blogs listing. Apparently, there was something in my blog that was too terrible to show the other members.

I'm not the only one who has experienced this... say no more!
