 *For the audio version on Anchor, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or other platforms, this episode is divided into Part A & Part B.* Podcast Episode #16: Thinking Back To When We Used To Booze It Up On The Jobsite Hello Everyone! The topic for this episode, I am thinking back to when we used to booze it up on the jobsite.  One of the things we all used to do regularly in construction, drinking on the job was as normal as working.  When I was a first-year apprentice, I was sent out for beer for afternoon break.  Nowadays, there is only an afternoon break if you work overtime.  This was on the very first job in my construction career.  I didn’t bat an eye and did exactly what was asked.  As a fresh face, I know I should have found the request as odd.  However, it didn’t take long to figure out that this was “normal”.  An old timer would say to me to, “never trust a person who doesn’t drink”.  I thought about what he said.  It made sense...

  Hello Everyone! I went ahead and created a Verbally Disastrous podcast episode about the last post on the topic of love. I also decided to load it to YouTube as well. I know there are some people who don't want to choose a podcast platform. Therefore, I have added to YouTube. Here is Episode #15: What Does It Mean to Love? on YouTube: https://youtu.be/PgO0NDdYrbE Of course, as I have said many times, I welcome feedback on any of my content. Let me know your thoughts? If you have some topic suggestions, let me know as well. I am going to release another podcast episode this week. I need to figure out what I want to talk about. I will refer to my list of topics on Episode #2: Upcoming Podcast Topics to see what I want to discuss. Enjoy your Wednesday evening and have a great week! Cheers! Leslie M.

 Hello Everyone! I have decided to write on and share the topic of love that I found again on Quora.  More specifically, does a person become mentally weak while in the throes of a passionate love?  Love indeed has much power and impact on people.  I am pleased to see that the responses come in a wide variety.  I really like the thought and consideration that Garry Rocco put into his response.   No subject quite impacts people from all walks of life quite like love.  Love and death are the great equalizers in life.  Check out the exact question below and the six responses down below the question. POSED QUESTION: "Do you think that those who fall in love are mentally weak people?" MY RESPONSE: Love is what most humans on this Earth seek.  Love yields much power and can seep into almost every aspect of our lives.  Love is not exclusive to poor or rich people or a particular part of the globe much less any form of demographics.  L...

  Hello Everyone! I just came home from a weekend of relaxing and foolery at Seaside Heights in New Jersey.  Seaside Heights is where the reality show "Jersey Shore" was filmed.  My close friend Chris has a spot on the beach.  Chris' condo is at the end; south of the boardwalk.  We had fun drinking White Claw black cherry hard seltzers, sitting in the sun, and bullshitting with our group.  It was super windy on Friday but very warm (82 degrees F) by Sunday.  However, it is too cold to go in the pool just yet.  Of course, my friends were joking around saying that I would go in the cold water anyways.  My nickname, at times, is "the polar bear" since I prefer cold to heat any day.  I was the designated driver to get us back to my close girlfriend Tara's house.  I then made the trek to get back home to unpack and rest.  I feel tired from the sun and the antics that occured over the weekend.  I had to stop for bathroom breaks ...

  Hello Everyone! As I had shared over the weekend, when I got a chance to write some articles, I was away for the weekend. I hung out with friends at a condo on the beach in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. One of my friends owns the condo. It saves money on lodging to stay at his place. This is the same location where the reality show "Jersey Shore" was filmed. I thought about filming a few times over the weekend. I didn't get much filming in when we were all getting our drink on. I am sure I will come back and hang out again soon this season. Melissa had to work plus she deals with her dog Dutch who barks too much. As of now, it makes traveling very difficult for her. My friend watched my dog Daisy for me. I got him zeppoles in return from the Boardwalk. I was happy that I didn't gain a bunch of weight over the weekend! Kudos to Leslie for that! I just loaded up the video clips onto YouTube on my Verbally Disastrous channel. Here are five clips that I h...

Hello Everyone! I am hanging out with my buddies at one of my friend's beach house at Seaside Heights at the New Jersey Shore. Once I woke up this morning, I start the day by chilling out until everyone is ready to go out. I opened up my computer to review some more questions. I stumbled upon this odd question with nothing further for context on Quora. I am totally clueless as to what it means yet I am determined to tackle it and figure it out. I have never crossed this term in my entire life. Since I am a curious person, it is time to research the topic and share what I find. I looked it up and it refers to a rule for marriages within the Islam religion. After reading the first sentence, I was very prejudice about the topic. I sensed that this lifestyle choice would negatively impact either the husband or wife in a marriage prior to researching. Also initially, I was pretty sure that it would further impact the wife. In Islam, ‘halala’ is a term that finds its roots in...
