Program: How to Address Thanksgiving Challenges

Many of us feel sad and lonely when the end of the year holidays approach. We often spend time reminiscing about the “good old days,” or we focus on past regrets and current resentments. Sometimes we “celebrate” Thanksgiving in a way that is more about “duty” than fun, gratitude and enjoyment. On the other hand, some of us have re-designed Thanksgiving in a way that provides serenity and a rest from the daily routine. I once had a patient who told me, “I’m not doing Thanksgiving this year. I am so happy about my decision and I don’t care who doesn’t like it. I am going to a dog park with my dog, Fido, and watch him run around. I’m not cooking. I’m just resting!”

I asked my patient how she came to make this change. She had spent many years hosting all her relatives who reportedly, “came, ate, drank and left!” She said that she and her husband had a “great” conversation about their Thanksgiving tradition and they agreed it was time for a change. She and her husband took turns calling their relatives to advise them that they were not hosting the Thanksgiving holiday this year. They had another conversation planning what the two of them wanted to do. She went to the dog park for two hours. He played tennis. They agreed that after that they would rest and order dinner delivered – no, not turkey but something unusual that they would both enjoy. They ordered a Peruvian dinner.

If you love your Thanksgiving traditions, enjoy each and every moment of them. If you don’t consider what you would like to do differently. What would make YOU happy?

I wish you a peaceful holiday. Take time to be grateful for what you have. Take time to cherish your healthy relationships. Have a rest if possible. Refresh yourself.

We will be discussing this on the November 21 opening program. Please send questions through the America’s Web Radio web site. We will answer as many as we can during the last part of the Dr. Ann’s Relationship Radio program. Until then –

YOU HAVE THE POWER! MAKE YOUR WORLD WHAT YOU WANT IT TO BE!

IS THE WORLD SPINNING FASTER ON ITS AXIS?

Do you ever take time to sit back and reflect on the changes of today. It’s like our kids or my kids 33 and 31 grew up with computers really even in their cribs of some sort or the monitor that monitored every move they made and yet today that is really old tech! Then again if you’ve lived more than three decades almost everything is old tech. It is amazing what the transistor and chip have lead to and most if not all directly or indirectly associated to and with the sixties space program. I can remember, because I’m so old some of the new tech back in the sixties and early seventies was labeled as coming from the “Devil’s Work Shop” and could only lead to the destruction of the world. Well maybe in its own way it has or has it prevented the destruction of the world by man?
When and where I got my BS is exactly what I got. It sure didn’t prepare me to handle even the simplest of computers, do you remember that project you had to do in the “Computer Lab” with punch cards and talking about “hanging chads” all those stupid little holes had to match up. Well just as today I couldn’t figure it out so I took the entrepreneurial way out and hired some geek to do it for me. The geek has probably made millions and I still don’t understand those damn punch cards. But life goes on with me not understanding more and more of the high tech stuff. Like I really can’t get too excited about driving down the street and seeing a car coming towards me with no driver, how about you? And many hi-tech products coming down the gadget world towards all of us. Which brings up the question, how much money does it take to stay current with the hi-tech world? Only Gates has enough.
The question is what’s next well it can’t be the Dick Tracy telephone watch from the comics we already have one. So what do you think is next? Let me know or if you’re looking for an affordable way to nationally expose your business contact me at david@americaswebradio.com and let’s do the old thing of talking on the phone, “Smart phone of course”.
Hope you enjoyed this blog and it made you reflect. You like conservative and varied listen to www.americaswebradio.com. Thanks!
Oh do we have all this hi-tech and changes because the world is spinning faster on its axis or is just because of Global Warming thank you very much.

PAPER PAPER EVERYWHERE

Anyone besides me in a small business tired of getting an over abundance of paperwork from our favorite Uncle? Not only in my opinion most of what the government sends one is a waste: waste of time, waste of paper, waste of postage and is generally worthless! In general the paperwork will send one to a website that is supposed to speed things up but after wasting a lot of time trying to make the site work one ultimate has to call for gelp. At this point I must say that generally speaking I have been pleasantly surprised at the individuals I get at the othe end of the line. They do help, seem to care and must have the patience of a saint. And get one like me through some stupid form.

OK your turn I’d like to hear from you. Do you get what you consider needless paperwork from your favorite Uncle? I get this damn stupid census form every year and was told this year once one is on the list there’s no getting off, great! Why don’t they have a box that one can check that simply says same as last year or nothings changed. They are the all mighty record keepers why do I have to go through all the aggravation of doing the same thing over and over again? Who’s in charge of all this wasted time and paper? And we wonder why people stay pissed at the government. My thought to is if the government would cut down on all the stupid paperwork and mailing maybe it would relieve the mail folks to do a better job with getting us our mail (bills) in a timely manner. Think about that one.

So, what are we going to do? Have you heard ONE polician mention cutting down on the stupid government paperwork? If so vote for them! But the truth is most of the politicians have never owned a small business or had to deal with all the wasteful government paperwork. It is crazy and so unimportant in most cases, agree? Let me hear from you, my email is david@americaswebradio.com.

Also are you looking for a national forum for your business or opinion? That’s what www.americaswebradio.com is. We’re very cost effective and always looking for new and interesting shows. So, give it some thought and again let me hear from you. Thanks, hope you enjoy the blog.

Oxymoron of the 21 Century – “Honest Contractor”

Have you recently either tried to get something fixed?  Which generally isn’t too bad if one goes through reputable source and sticks with known businesses BUT on-the-other- hand if you’ve decided to build or remodel in or around your home you like I was in for a shock and found over a number of months one just can’t trust these people that call themselves contractors and in Georgia anyone can call themselves contractors and lie like a rug.  It is terrible and many are NOT contractors they are scam artist and that’s how they make their money particular off senior citizens but everyone else in need. Yes, many if not most of these “contractors” are CROOKS from the get go and just after suckers like me that grew up taking people at their word! Boy is that a mistake! They CON artist use pictures, fake references and know you better than you do.  That means they can quickly home in on what you want to hear and that’s exactly what they’ll tell you. Take it from one of their pigeons that was sold a bill of goods and lost time, money and was without a Master Bath for the past 6 months. Many general contractors are not contractors at all they are unlicensed crooks with many states like Georgia not requiring these crooks to be licensed like plumbers and electricians and some other professions.  IT is deplorable!

If I’ve offend an honest contractor if there is such contact me with real references and more proof of honest and we’ll interview you on one of ours shows and even give you some FREE air time and maybe even talk about doing a contractors show.  Obviously you’ll first have to be capable of reading and understanding an honest offer. To you folks like me PLEASE be careful and check and double and triple check out that contractor before you let that crook get in your pocket. By checking and checking it will ultimately save you time and lots of money.  Let’s figure out how to ONLY use the honest contractor and highlight and DESTROY the dishonest! Good Luck!

FLASHBACK TO 1996 The BloodHound Gang

Recorded the song that could now be Trump’s theme Song “Why’s Everybody Always Picking on Me?” when in fact it should have been Obama’s and the media never laid a hand on Obama.  

Now I must admit that Trump even to me can at times be somewhat annoying but then I look at our beautiful FIRST Lady and figure old Trump can ‘t be too bad.  Then I look at a thriving industrial relieved of ridiculous restrictions like in the oil and coal industries and then on to a proud military finally being supplied like it should be and AGAIN a nation the United States of America who is second to NONE and proud and sfe from our enemies because of one man TRUMP.

Yet our left-wing media and leftist in congress are relentless in “Always Picking on Trump” and if they can’t find something legitimate they make it up.  There’s only been one human to walk the face of the earth that was perfect and it’s not Trump BUT for all that has been thrown at him by the idiot “let’s make it up LEFT” Trump continues to come out unscathed by the left’s empty attempts to re-write the truth. From Chuckie Schumer to the plastic surgeon’s queen Pelosi their failed attempts have gone no where and in this writer’s opinion only the truth NOT liberal fabrications win and Trump hold the winning Wruth Hand. Wand will show it in 2018 and 2020.

So why’s everybody picking on Trump and getting NO where because it is not the truth and the liberals just dig their hole deeper and deeper with their lies and will.
