Why don't people respond to texts that require immediate attention or can be answered in one word? 

Are you alive?   Yes.
What time are you leaving?  9:30
What color is your car?  Silver
What is the fastest animal?  Cheetah
Beatles or Stones?   Stones


See how easy that is!    Nobody is asking for a novel, paragraph or even a sentence.  A couple of words is all that is required.

A simple emoji will also work.   👎🏻 🍾 🌨  🤔 👀   🐫 ⚰️   🦀   Apple and Samsung have done the work for you.  You just need to hit a button and everyone is happy.

I promise if you answer my short text I will quit bothering you.  If you answer with more than a simple yes or no - there probably wont be a followup.   This will save a lot of time and government personnel as I wont have to call the sheriff to do a wellness check, physically drive to your house to see if you are hurt or scan your Facebook page to see if you ever mentioned Mick Jagger.

And, maybe, I'll start answering your short texts, as well!  ☺️

It's Tinglng, Dammit!

I'm doing a little science project/product review. I have extremely thin lips - nothing new - they've always been thin.  Must be all that talking all my life.  Truly the only skinny thing about me.     I'm all about better living though science - so I am currently trying a hydrating lip plumper. I chose Grande Lips simply because it was in a salon, it was available, and I didn't have to go online and order it.  Did I mention I was lazy?   I went with Clear tone, that way I wasn't cornered into one color. Directions read to apply it twice a day to clean, dry lips for 30 days.  After application I am then free to apply throughout the day with any combinations of other lip products, or alone. This is my lips this morning before applying the plumper. This is after. There was a slight tingling sensation.  It's working dammit! "Don't be alarmed if you feel a slight tingling sensation; that how you know that...

There's a Quest for Answers...Aldi vs Girl Scout Cookies

Tagalongs are my favorite Girl Scout cookie.  Each year I happily and willingly spend a lot of money on a box of 14 cookies.  They are only available once a year  - so totally worth the indulgence.  My favorite part of eating them is scraping the peanut butter goodness with my teeth. I had sampled the Aldi brand before and thought they were pretty good.  Tagalongs are delicious and this was a great $.99 treat in lieu of a Girl Scout cookie.    At least that is what I told myself.   Bonus, I could also scrape this peanut butter with my teeth. But, which is the better cookie?  How could we ever know?   I had never eaten them together, as I had never considered wasting a Girl Scout cookie to eat a store bought cookie of the same variety.   I had never faced such a conundrum.  Armed with only a degree in journalism and a few hours to kill, I knew I had to get the answer. What better way to get to the bottom of this t...
