Facebook perils
My age may be showing here since Facebook is mostly for us, ahem, “older” folks now. I must admit, I spend way too much time on Facebook. I tell myself I’m learning about fitness trends, so it isn’t a total waste of time. I came across this image, posted in my town Facebook group. I […]
Finding hope
March 25, 2020
Even I as an eternal optimist, am struggling to find hope in these dark times, but I have. Here are a few bright spots for our dark days. 1. Neighbor helping neighbor. I belong to my town’s Facebook group. Our local food pantry had posted a need for food, asking folks to go to the […]
Misleading marketing
April 3, 2019
I should know better; if something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Last week, I was perusing Facebook and an ad popped up in my feed. Now normally I ignore ads, but this one caught my eye. It was for free bootcamp sessions at a gym near me. (On a side […]
Irony
January 25, 2017
I pass this sign on my daily walks and I can’t help but laugh. Notice that there is not one, but TWO dessert places: the Dessert Workshop and the Treat Cupcake Bar. A picture is really worth a thousand words. . .
Mr. Ken’s fitbit adventure
April 20, 2016
Earlier this month, it was my dear husband’s birthday. Since he has recently been on a walking kick (what better way to work off all those donuts!), I thought I would encourage this healthy new habit by getting him a fitbit as a present. Here’s the story of Mr. Ken and his latest toy. 1. […]
Now THAT’S great marketing
February 18, 2015
As we are having our 4th big snowstorm in two weeks, I am really, really enjoying my Jessica Smith workouts. Jessica lives and films her workouts in Florida. It is so nice to see palm trees, pretty water views, boats and pelicans. I can pretend that I am somewhere warm. Maybe I should write a […]
Another Facebook rant
March 5, 2014
I still have mixed feelings about social media. On one hand, I love it because I’ve met so many wonderful people from all over the world. On the other hand, it seems much easier for people to be annoying. Or is that I let them be annoying? Is this a chicken and egg conundrum? Enough […]
Social media rant
December 4, 2013
Do you love social media? Or do you hate it? Right now, I’m leaning more towards the hate side. Hate is a strong word, maybe more like annoyed. Blogging is my exception. I love it because I’ve met so many wonderful people from all around the world. I haven’t traveled abroad much, so it’s especially […]
Are you a Facebook fan?
March 20, 2013
I love how my blog ideas come to me through my everyday activities. This post came out of a simple question from my husband, “Do you hit “like” for Facebook Fan pages?” My first response was, “No way, I have no interest in big companies and their products. They only want me to “like” their […]

May 31, 2012
Unless you live in a cave, you’ve heard about Facebook’s IPO on May 18th. To say there’s been a lot of controversy surrounding this is an understatement. The facts: May 18th stock valued at $38.00 per share May 18th Market Value = $100 billion. (yes, that’s a billion, not a million!) This was the second […]
