- Newspapers, sitting with my coffee, discussing politics with hubby, examining issues in local, regional, provincial, national and worldly realms.
- CBC Radio - they continue to aim for talk radio, morning radio goofiness. I want serious, hard-hitting discussion, politics, education, healthcare. Not egg decorating competitions on Twitter, or 'worst Valentine Day ever' stories. (Can you spell radio, getting ready for the work day, wasting time on photos?) That's just me! I have to turn it off in the morning. I think budget cuts are going to have an impact.
- Books - hardcover you can prop on your bed, or lap, while sipping tea. I don't need another electronic device. I have them all, used them in the workplace, taught it to my students and colleagues. I want to low down, take my time. Can't stand basic news shows: the clutter on the screen!
-
Cursive Writing - it is only taught sporadically in grade 3 - 6. It is a form of symbol that kids ought to learn how to decode. It builds brian cells, and encourages fine muscle skills and patience! Teachers don't 'mark' it, and shouldn't evaluate it. It just is.
How much clutter can you stand?
I know it's CBC.
I can't see the shoes that do not fit,
as the model falls out of one! - Magazines - advertising is down, plus much trite information I've read before: how to lose weight, look beautiful, dress up, dress down, shop, cook...
- Respect - Don't criticize the coffee; you may be old and weak someday. I recall shopping, with kids. Sales staff would ignore me and speak to single, rich-looking women, not me. Now that I am older, they ignore me as well! Ageism rears its ugly head everywhere. The millennials, for the most part, are pretty ignorant and do not respect life experience and lessons learned!
- Newsletters - I love them, hard-copy, in the mail. You don't have to download tons of graphics. You don't have to waste precious printer cartridges to print them yourself. You can keep them on the wall. Read them during your down time.
