Advice For The Land of The Triggered Human

Photo Credit: Triggered -written by Fletcher Wortmann Hello Everone! I hope you have some kick ass weekend plans coming up!? I have some plans myself that involve checking out a new fella for a date. I have not allowed myself to date in over two years. Covid-19 did not help the matter much either. I used the solo time to heal and be in a great head space in order to be willing to try to cross paths with a great man. I am at peace if it either doesn't work out or ends up to be amazing. My family has also planned a birthday party for an 18-year old young man this weekend as well. This milestone is amazing and rich since the young man spent the first few years of his life in the NICU at a children's hospital in New York City. I admire my aunt for having the mental and physical fortitude to be the rock for her family with their issues as children with special needs. Not all people have children born with no complications. Cherish life and those milestones since you nev

Photo Credit: Sasha Baron Cohen as "Ali G" Hello Everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!?! I see we are already in the middle of the summer of 2021! For some reason, it is going by way too damn fast! I have spent more time inside than I would like to be this summer. I have had a busy year or more fighting a huge corporation, I shall leave them anonymous, regarding my 401K matters. I have made a some progress with a little bit more to go. When it is resolved, I will offer some guidance without going in too personal on my own affairs. The guidance is how to go above their head and ring the bell. This will force them to listen to your complaints and address them. I wish I had someone to tell me what to do on this issue over a year ago. They have an obligation to help me, as a client, and have my best interests at heart. I have realized that you have to not fear their size and be willing to do your homework and fight for what is right and fair. The bigg

New Release: My Kindle Vella Short Stories!!

Image
Hello Everyone! I was alerted, more so I "noticed", about this Kindle Vella short story project around the beginning of the year. I opted to carve out time to write out a series of short stories from back when I worked with the tools as a journeywoman electrician in New York. As of today, I have released 5 short stories onto my Kindle Vella Library. My Kindle Vella Library is entitled, Construction Tales-Told By A Woman. Each story is roughly 5,000 words long. I plan to write out enough stories so that I can put together Construction Tales: Volume 2 in the near future. Here are the photos of the Kindle Vella Library and my link to my short stories on Amazon: Construction Tales: Told By A Woman by Leslie M. Jasper- short stories for Kindle Vella on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/product/B096N8NSGM If you could follow me on Amazon in the Kindle Vella store, I would really appreciate. I shall offer my support to you as well if you share with me your page.

Illustrations Released For My 1st Children's Book

Hello Everyone! Cheers to the website Fiverr and finding Anastasia Taranenko from Tad_Art!! I like that she is attentive and asks a lot of questions to be sure that we are on the same page. She makes a tremendous effort to surpass our language barrier. Anastasia hails from Russia. She picks up my details well despite it not being her native tongue. We just completed Phase I of my first children's book entitled, "Not All Girls Play With Dolls". Under phase I, we completed five drawings towards the back of the book. I was hoping to save some drawings previously created by my first illustrator. So far, I was able to get one drawing salvaged and fixed. However, it appears to be wise to just start from scratch. Phase II is the last 5 drawings of the book that have been drafted. It should go faster during Phases III and IV since she is creating her vision of the abandoned illustrations in the beginning of the book. I have a fear of wasting any more money on this pr

YouTube Videos Of Twin Towers Memorial And Freedom Tower

Hello Everyone! As mentioned in a previous post, I opted to go to lower Manhattan with my sons for the 4th of July. I rented adjoining rooms, on the 18th floor, for the night at Club Quarters World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. We walked over to the east side of lower Manhattan to South Street Seaport. South Street Seaport is just south of the Brooklyn Bridge. We saw fireworks from the pier just past the Brooklyn Bridge. The next morning before check out, we went up to the 20th floor to record the view down below and to the north of Manhattan. The Club Quarters hotel is the building just south of the Twin Towers Memorial reflective pools. The two pools sit on the site of where the Twin Towers once rose from. The museum can be located to the north that is just behind the South Tower. The Freedom Tower sits just north of the North Tower. To the right of the museum is the Oculus. The Oculus looks like a dove or angel wings to me. Oculus is Latin for "eye" and th

Advice On "Just Being Mean" To Others

Hello Everyone! I collided with this request for advice on being perceived as "just being mean" to another person. This is another question that I am unclear if they are legit or breaking my chops. I responded since there are some folks who say things that are "the truth" and get feedback that it is "mean". They scratch their head trying to figure out how to change the approach and not offend the other person. It is a challenge when you perceive what you have said as the "absolute truth". The person perceiving it as mean doesn't want to accept reality. On the other hand, it is probably an observation that wasn't needed? This is the case when all parties know the truth deep down yet don't want to acknowledge it. I do understand the concept of being truthful yet perceived as being mean in my own life. I believe I am perceived as a straight shooter who is not about any form of bullshit. Over the years, I try to exercise caution and dia

Advice On Asking Better Questions

Hello Everyone! I stumbled upon this question on Quora and opted to give advice that I was asked to deliver. I didn't like the question she asked. I personally don't like it when woman pursue men. If you are going to pursue a guy, you don't ask a question like that. Just ask the guy out. If the man is attracted to you, he will agree to go with it. You have just passsed the bar on being attractive. He may just want sex and to keep it moving too. Hell, you may go on to have the best relationship in your entire life! Don't ruin it by asking unnecessary, trivial questions to ruin your self esteem. You need to be up for whatever door you both go through. Here is the posed question and my response below. POSED QUESTION: "I asked if I was ugly. He said I wouldn’t say your ight your like good. What does that mean?" -Mia MY RESPONSE: "I wonder why you felt compelled to ask another person of their opinion on your physical appearance? He was being
