Show Notes-Episode #032
Recently in Philadelphia, a pretty heinous crime was committed on a train. I am about to discuss serious and violent crimes, so if this is a trigger for you, please consider skipping this post. A woman was on a train in Philadelphia, around 9 or 10pm if I recall correctly. And a man was harrassing her. He wouldn't leave her alone. Apparently there were other passengers on the train witnessing this crime as it unfolded. The man began physically assaulting her and ripping her clothes off, and he ended up raping her. In front of other passengers who did nothing but watch. Now, let me say that I don't know every fact, I wasn't there. My information comes from news reports. But it is highly disturbing to me that the…

In recent years, Ford announced that they would no longer make sedans, and would focus on SUVs. It probably doesn't sound like a big deal, but to me it was devastating! You see, I love sedans! I currently drive a Fusion, and it is one of my favorite cars! I have driven SUVs, and they do have some good points. But with this news, it means I don't have a choice if I plan on staying with Ford. And I want to, but it's gonna be a tough decision. I really don't need a big, bulky SUV. I don't have a large family that needs to fit in my car. So for me, the sedan is perfect. And I'm happy with Ford. I didn't really plan on switching dealers, but…

If you can't tell by now, I have a lot of pet peeves. And in this episode I'm going to talk about one more! Pocketless pants. And pants that have unusable pockets. More specifically, women's pants. Tell me why women have to suffer through this kind of nonsense! I am fed up with buying a pair of jeans or slacks that end up not having a functional pocket. I'm not asking for a lot here. I just want a place to store my ID or some money when carrying a purse would be inconvenient. Like a party, a club or a quick trip to the corner store. These days, most pants have the tiniest pocket that if you are lucky you can fit a few coins in. Why is it…
Pocketless #029
The pants pockets on women's clothing is a joke these days, and in this episode I go off on this useless trend.

There is a big trend going on now for Tiny Homes. Many people have been buying really small houses, and renting tiny apartments as well. There are TV shows and youtubers that discuss them. Everyone seems to be in the market for a Tiny House. I had always thought that it didn't make sense to buy a Tiny House. Who wants to get rid of most of their belongings to squeeze into a space that is often just as small as a bedroom. 200 or 300 square feet is not much. I couldn't imagine living in one. Until I started imagining living in one! Now, I'm not saying I'm going to buy one, but I can see the appeal now. Many of these homes cost $20k, $30k, or around there.…

Lately, there has been a lot of news about Britney Spears. We have seen that she is fighting to remove her father from the conservatorship he was able to establish for her 13 years ago. But is it really necessary, and does he deserve to be there? In this episode I discuss whether or not a conservatorship is the right vehicle to solve Britney's problems. After all, many celebrities struggle with mental health and substance abuse issues, yet they have been left to their own devices. The real question for me is, does she need such a restrictive legal guardianship in place, or are there other ways to help her and allow her to keep her autonomy? I can't imagine having to ask permission to even have a child or…
