News Flash! - Connie's youngest daughter turns 27!

Posted by Connie Gohata on Tuesday, September 25, 2018, In : Life

Nothing can make one feel older than the birthday of your youngest child - especially after they reach 21 and up. Each day, in the mirror, there appears even more lines and wrinkles that weren't as deep yesterday and will be deeper and more pronounced tomorrow. What is happening?

I have always looked younger than my age. I think this was just in my imagination - now that the person at the movie ticket booth doesn't even question my "senior"-ness. I look at my 97/almost 98 year old mother a...

Just when You think they are going to get the win... need I say more?
9th inning - Kenley is back from the DL (heart issues), and gives up 2 home runs (in succession)!
So, although I'm disappointed and amazed, it's good to see Kenley back!

Tonight's another night! Let's GO DODGERS!

Brain Health

Posted by Connie Gohata on Friday, August 10, 2018, In : Life

I've subscribed to several alternative health newsletters, including TTAC.com and Brain Health. TTAC is The Truth about Cancer - it's very compelling and all these alternative health methods completely go against what the large Pharmaceutical companies - and the doctors who don't know any better - literally shove down our throats (and stick in our veins).

Big Pharma (we know who you are) gives you some great things - like vaccinations (and there are those who are opposed to them), and medicin...

The Day After

Posted by Connie Gohata on Tuesday, July 31, 2018, In : Life

My car technician (or let's say, mechanic) was nice enough to give me a ride home, then pick me up when my car was done. While I was at home, I researched the issue (EGR Valve- Exhaust Gas Recirculation), I found that the part ranged in cost from about $75 to $200. In fact, the part at the Ford Parts Store (OEM) was a little less than what was on my itemized list when I looked at the bill. Hmmm. I hope the installed part was OEM, but we don't know that, do we?

They also cleaned around th...

Fishing -

Posted by Connie Gohata on Friday, July 27, 2018, In : Life

These words, fish/fishing, are quite useful. You can fish for a trout, or you can fish for an answer. You can go fishing in a lake or online. However, my need for using the word, fishing, is something that I'm not doing this year - I used to be able to put a note on my door, "Gone Fishing," but apparently not this year! I have too many loose ends here that won't be tied up for a while. I have a couple listings that need my total attention, I have a dog who needs 2 shots a day and it seem...

2018 Winter Olympics

Posted by Connie Gohata on Tuesday, February 13, 2018, In : Life

I've been having trouble concentrating on work - why? Because I want to see who is winning what in the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics. It's because I have so much access - my phone, my iPad, my computer, my TV. I am writing this on my computer and watching Speed Skating on my phone. Republic of Korea just won!

But hey, all work and no play - or is it all play and no work won't bring home the bacon or the mortgage. So I'm shutting off the Olympics until I get in front of my lunch - it's only 11...

It's Thanksgiving! What are you thankful for?

Posted by Connie Gohata on Tuesday, November 21, 2017, In : Life

Many people on this earth have nothing - we in the US, even if we are poor, are much better off than many of whom are in third world countries or those who are refugees living in camps.
We have opportunity, here, and if we can pick ourselves up by the bootstraps and be enterprising, there is nothing that can stop us!
I'm thankful that I have a place to live and people around me that love me.
How about you? What are you thankful for?
