If I were to send a letter to the California teacher that called military members the lowest of the low and other such tripe, it would say something like this: Mr. Salcido, I am an educator.  I currently teach technology classes, including engineering, at the high school level.  My teaching certificate has endorsements for Elementary … Continue reading A Reply to a “Low Life” →

I realized I am the world's most hypocritical boycotter. I boycott Starbuck's.  I didn't like their political "we'll hire 20,000 refugee" statement.  They angered a lot of people and then when their sales dropped, they made sure to make a big deal of their "veteran and spouse" hiring program.  You know, kind of a mea … Continue reading The Hypocritical Boycotter →

I generally don't use the term "Snowflake" because it is name calling and I like to think I'm more adult than that.  Stop laughing, sometimes I am! But I'm going to make an exception for this post because there is just no other way to describe what I experienced.  A former coworker had a complete … Continue reading ‘Tis the Season….To Melt a Snowflake →

Is she serious?  Didn't she have her 15 minutes? Cray Cray Strikes Again...

Someone will hate this post.  That's okay, I'm used to it. I am disturbed by the recent allegations of sexual harassment and assault as I think the majority of people are.  The number of incidences coming to light is staggering! It’s hard to understand why someone would wait so long to bring up allegations of … Continue reading Believe the Women →

The past few weeks have been full of things to have tantrums about.  I could write a book about all of the crap that's going down.  Let's review a few.... General Kelly gave an interview to Laura Ingraham on the first night of her new show on Fox News.  She asked him his opinion of … Continue reading The Narrative →

I frequent several breast cancer support groups on FB.  A question that often comes up is “When do you call yourself a survivor?” The answer varies.  Some people feel as soon as they found out they had cancer, they become a cancer survivor.  Others would say after surgery, after chemo, after radiation.  Being a “survivor” … Continue reading Survivor →

There was a moment of silence on the other end and he said, "Yes. Please come see me as soon as you can." That afternoon, I made my way to the Operations Group and sat down with Lt Col D.  He told me there had been accusations against Lt Col L and he was assigned … Continue reading Me Too, Part Two →
