    What Are You Doing Today For Juneteenth?

    Do you celebrate Kwanzaa?

    Do you celebrate Kwanzaa?

    My childhood was filled with Kwanzaa celebrations, but not so much in my adult life. I do appreciate the concept of Kwanzaa but celebrating it is not that important any more.

    How much of a mess is your email inbox?

    The app I use is called Mailwasher Pro; it let's me preview the email in all of my accounts so I can delete the unwanted email from the server and then download the rest to my computer. Been using it for 10+ years.

    I was in my 30s and dated a man who was 16 years my senior. I thought I could learn a lot from him, and he did teach me some things that I still value today. I also learned that he didn't think he could learn anything from me. Since then, I have dated within 10 years older and 3 years younger...

    Can We Talk About Joe Biden and His Crime Bills Again

    Biden/Harris got rewarded despite having two of the most atrocious records against us, but very few will admit that they voted in error. A Harris/Whoever presidential ticket is absolutely a NOOOO!

    Is clothing getting cheaper in quality?

    Getting cheaper? It's been that way for years. I think the quality declined when the manufacturing got outsourced overseas. I have some old clothes from my mother, and the quality is so much better than what I find today.

    How many of y’all only use credit cards?

    I got in debt trouble before, and getting out of it was a struggle that I don't want to experience again. So I use my credit cards carefully and conservatively. My debit cards are my primary method of payment, and I buy gift cards for myself when I really want to restrict spending in certain areas.
