Well, in my opinion, at George Washington University, not much. A few weeks ago, the Young America’s Foundation, interviewed some students there, and the video shows the results. Only 6 out of 30 students knew that we’d be commemorating 9/11 the following week. How could any 18-22 year old NOT know about 9/11? My 6-year […]
I recently received an email which included this picture of Albert Einstein and the quote. Included with the email were pictures captioned, “a day at the beach,” “cheering on your team,” having dinner with your friends,” “out on an intimate date,” “having a conversation with your BFF,” and “a visit to the museum,” all of […]
I would say my favorite job was back in 1968 when I worked for Macy’s on 34th Street while going to college. I worked two nights a week and all day Saturday and netted about $22. I loved the job. I took orders on the phone. I loved the different forms — the order forms, […]
Earlier in the year, I wrote an article entitled Government at Work – Ain’t It Grand? about the inefficiency of any government activity. Although I’ll have to admit the Department of Motor Vehicles has cleaned up its act and made things move along more smoothly, I stand by my words. Recently, I read even more […]
I don’t know about you, but it still bothers me to have to listen to people on their cell phones and have to see lighted phones in dark theatres while people text while a performance is going on. I think it’s rude and I’m not interested in hearing other people’s conversations although many seem to […]
There are many reasons why I don’t like the U.N., but here’s just one example. The Human Rights Council determined that internet access, like food, shelter and healthcare, is a basic human right that allows people to “exercise their right to freedom of opinion and expression.” In response to this lunacy, the Obama administration is […]
So, I woke up the other morning and checked my email to find one from Bank of America advising me that there’s been suspicious activity on my account and to click here or call there. My first reaction, “here we go again.” Well, I don’t automatically start clicking around unless I know it’s a legitimate […]
I admit it. I hate change. Well, some change. Not all change. I didn’t mind when carbon paper became obsolete and photocopiers were available everywhere. Try typing a 10-page Will with three carbons and no typos. It was a secretary’s nightmare. I didn’t mind giving up my manual typewriter for an electric one and “oohed” […]
Federal agencies spend nearly $1.3 billion a year on printing costs of which $440.4 million is spent unnecessarily. The Department of Defense, alone, has printing costs of $1.4 billion annually, of which $490 million is unnecessary. I can’t even begin to imagine the number of copies that were made […]
I don’t get texting. I don’t text and I’m not sure my cell phone even has the capacity to text although my husband says it does. Besides, what could possibly be so important when I’m in a grocery store, restaurant or in my car, that I would have to text someone? If I have something […]
