Vocabulary: Insight into Your Psyche?

04.11.2021 by Fred Berman //

Two sets of words:
         1.  Charity, Empathy, Giving, Caring.
         2.  Penis, Vagina, Buttocks, Breasts.

The average person can think of about 8 synonyms total  for the first set and about 100 for the second set. 
And one is decidedly more fun to say out loud.

LinkedIn is No Facebook

04.09.2021 by Fred Berman //

“It’s just Business Sonny, It’s not personal.”
LinkedIn is trying to be Facebook for the business elite but falls woefully short.
On the plus-side LinkedIn has as many banal thoughts, innocuous articles, pandering kiss-ass comments and unread long-winded posts  as  Facebook.
But on LinkedIn I can’t see a picture of what someone had for lunch.  Chalk one up for Facebook!

Public Service Announcement: Fasten Your Seatbelt!

04.08.2021 by Fred Berman //

Seatbelts save lives; especially when you get behind the wheel while inebriated and cross over the center line at high speed.  “Buckle-up!”

American Songwriter Series

04.07.2021 by Fred Berman //

Today we spotlight what in music is known as a “One-hit Wonder.”  But, even though I can only quote one of what was, I assume, an extensive catalog of works, The words and melody run are with me every minute of every day.  The Words.  So few words, so much meaning!
You, of course, have already discerned the identity of this magnificent creature.  We salute you SUGAR BEAR!  Know that each morning in the shower millions of us wash to your haunting opus:
Can’t get enough of that Sugar Crisp; Sugar Crisp, Sugar Crisp.
Can’t get enough of that Sugar Crisp
Keeps me going strong!

Nicolas Boileau Nailed it!

04.06.2021 by Fred Berman //

“A fool always finds a greater fool to admire him.”   N.B.
It explains a lot about a certain resident in Florida…actually the moniker fits almost anyone that chooses to live in Florida.

Is it Fair to Boycott a Product Like “My Pillow?”

04.05.2021 by Fred Berman //

A boycott simply because the profits from the sale of that product go to fund an individual that continues to spout false,  hate-filled inflammatory rhetoric about the presidential election and that he idolizes an adolescent sociopath building an oligarchy with his evil spawn?  I mean who would believe him anyway other than idiots, racists, white supremacists or “trumpers?” (I know, that’s redundant).
A boycott sounds reasonable to me.

Modern Aphorisims #4

04.04.2021 by Fred Berman //

Confucius had it backwards.  Today it is:
“Choose to never work a day in your life and you will love your job!”

The Downside of Contributing to Charity

04.03.2021 by Fred Berman //

In the spirit of love you send a small check to a charitable organiztion and you are immediately forever on a list of potential donors.  From then on  you will recieve multiple solicitations for money each week.  That is NOT the downside.  The negative is now that you realize how much need there is in the world and how few people care, you may have trouble sleeping.

Are you listening Jenners, Kardashians, Mary Kay?

04.02.2021 by Fred Berman //

“…it is a trillion dollar industry that would
collapse
if we believed we were beautiful enough
already
their concept of beauty
is manufactured
I am not…”

Rupy Kaur
