Photo Credit: www.Electrical4U.com Hello Everyone! How are you spending your time on your Wednesday morning!? You are almost to the upcoming Christmas holiday weekend. Are you preparing a big feast with your beloved friends and/or family? Thankfully, I'm not planning on cooking a giant feast this go around. I'm preparing some desserts to bring over to a new family tradition. Some cousins have purchased their first house and have invited the family for their first Christmas Eve in their new home. I'm looking forward to the new family tradition. We have spent many years, since coming into my deceased husband's family back in 1995, at a particular family's home each year. I consider my in-laws as my parents since both of my parents are deceased. I'm grateful for the connection that I have with this bonus family. I know that I do not say it enough. I have never taken this group for granted. Over the years, the family has grown exponentially with even

Photo Credit: www.study.com Hello Everyone! How are you spending your time on your Wednesday afternoon!? I apologize for my typo on the day yesterday. So now you feel like it's Ground Hog Day? No, you're right. I'm just an idiot who made an innocent mistake. It clicked later on in the day when I checked the date for another task. In my head, I went, S-S-S-S-H-H-I-I-T-T-T!! Now you are going to check my posts yesterday to see that I thought it was Wednesday. I'm just looking to see if you are paying attention since I'm clearly not. I'm pretty good at making mistakes and I'm okay when you make them yourself. :P Yes, I am making the longest joke on a typo. Alright, let's move on to the next unsolicited piece of advice that you came here for. I managed to find another thought provoking Quora question. It's no secret that I rely on the pool of Quora topics to keep this blog spicy and to evoke thought. We all know that you like spicy. This

Photo Credit: www.skillcast.com Hello Everyone! How are you spending your time on your Wednesday afternoon!? Are you surprised that I yet again went looking for some requested questions within my selection on my Quora profile? I know, by this point, you know that I rely on the pool of Quora topics to keep this blog spicy and to evoke thought. This topic that caught my eye was the subject of the cost of ignoring red flags. I initially chose this one since I thought I could respond to it quickly. I was trying to be short and sweet with this piece of advice. However, I did go down deeper in the rabbit hole than I anticipated and managed to pull myself back. I'm sure I could have expanded on this topic and made into a long ass thesis. I recognize that a few of my talking points are rather sensitive in nature and great care needs to be taken while approaching them. I feel like I can speak on those talking points since I have either experienced it first hand or witnessed it a

Photo Credit: www.beatport.com Hello Everyone! How are you spending your time on your Wednesday morning!? I decided to go and look yet again for some requested questions within my selection on my Quora profile. I have a constant flow of questions that pop up. I don't think it is possible for me to answer them all but I will try...some day. This topic that caught my eye was the subject of a person telling another person to, "accept my heart". I chose this one since it's another one that I could respond to it quickly so I selected it. I'm sure I could have expanded on this topic and made into a long ass thesis. However, I shall spare you all the details. :P My goal is to try to be short and sweet with the advice again on this hump day (cue the camel's voice). As per the last advice post and it still applies so I shall say it again. I can say that I loved hard (3) times in my life. I never chased any one of these men and tried to get them to accept

I'm sorry to report that Monday and the new work grind is only a few hours away. I recorded, edited, and released my short story this past week on my time as I worked on the railroad into a podcast. I still need to work on the editing of the 3-Part podcast with my Cali union brother Brian Reyes. I have shared his photography website at the end of this post. My goal is to offer the new content this week. I need to just get a damn editor and get it over with quicker. For now, I will just stay a cheap bastard until further notice. When I do go with an editor, it will come from the website Fiverr. I decided to go look for some requested questions within my selection on my Quora profile. I have a constant flow of questions that pop up. I don't think it is possible for me to catch up and answer them all. This top

Photo Credit: www.RRPictureArchives.net_John McCluskey Hello Everyone! How are you spending your time on your Saturday morning!? I recorded my short story this week on my time as I worked on the railroad into a podcast and edited them. Because of the number of hours spent editing, this blog post is going to be short and sweet. Here is the two-part podcast episode that was released onto my +20 podcast platforms and YouTube. Here are the YouTube links below and the Spotify link is also available in this post. I will work on the editing of the 3-Part podcast with my Cali union brother Brian next. I will offer new content soon. I need to just get a damn editor and get it over with quicker. At some point I will stop being cheap and do that. After all, edit is painful! Here is the post with the links and have a good morning. :) Verbally Disastrous Season #1, Ep. #41: Part A- Working On The Railroad With The Tools As A Chick! on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Q1G4Y14pAiw Verbally Di

Photo Credit: https://www.photacularimagery.com/ Hello Everyone! How are you spending your time on your Friday afternoon!? I recorded my short story this week on my time as I worked on the railroad into a podcast. I also scheduled to speak with fellow journeyman electrician, union brother and pal Brian Reyes about his career path out in California. I have him saved in my cell phone as, "Spanish Rice". This was because we were working on a casino project and there was another Brian. Of course I called the other Brian, "white rice". :P Brian was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. Brian is keeping busy these days by signing the traveler book and working out of different union halls out in California for the past few years. Brian and I went to apprentice school around the same time so we would see each other in passing at school. Additionally, we have some similar friends that we have made in this business of construction. I really want to get a few o
