JDI'S Travel and liesure

                                                           Traveling by thumb The first time I hitchhiked I was 7 maybe 8years old. Living in Little River, California. It was in 1973 or 1974. Exact dates are hard to remember when considering it was almost 40years ago. We lived in what was then a hippie community, and most people up and down Airport Road knew my parents.  Needless to say, I have been traveling by thumb ever since. Not always, but I have never been in a place I couldn't get out of. Growing up in such an environment can be educational, but mostly just a lot of weed and moving around. After a while in my teenage years, my parents probably regretted letting me hitchhike. It wasn't nothing for me to get out on the road and stick my thumb out if I wanted to go somewhere.  On the flip side of that, it wasn't easy to get ...

Writers are in demand? I have a question. When did getting a job working for someone else start costing money out of the applicant's pocket? I may be old-fashioned, but I used to fill out an application and then interviewed for the position. I have been looking online and found several advertisements for online jobs.

If that is what I was looking for, I would have invested in a business opportunity. Put it out there that you're an employee of some internet company, but you are paying your taxes, you are paying a fee to apply to not get any benefits; you pay for some site to claim that they are a placement agency yet you are still doing all the work to find and apply for gig work. Word definitions are just what? a guide to mean maybe it means you are an employee. Or my favorite, it's free! HAHAHAHA that is just so funny. I have seen ...

It is my belief that social media is killing society. I have looked up definitions. Social adjective, not single, a group of over one. Social media is a party killer. I am talking about these symptoms of the society killer. You walk into a room full of people and everyone has a phone in their hands and is not engaging each other at all that we can see. But typing away, and then one person laughs, looks at the person standing a foot away, and says good one. Two teens are sitting on the same couch typing away on their phones. One says to the other, let's go then. Sitting not even a foot apart, yet using social media to talk to each other. Or texting. No one else around, so talking secrets is out. So yes, I believe social media is killing society. Take this test for yourself and let's see what happens. The test is for those two girls to put down their phones and only use landline home phone to call people for one week. You will actually have to engage people in the actual world. I...
