Traveling Alone In New York
I meant to post this last week, but I never got around to it. A fellow writer, &SyddyHud, asked me to share my experience of traveling alone during my SummerSlam vacation in NYC, and I think that's a good idea. I'm sharing two experiences from this tri
Time to get on a treadmill
A big family #wedding is coming up in January and I thought it is a good time to get back in shape. Though I love #walking, I cannot go for long walks regularly so I have decided to use an old #treadmill in the hou
Was that level of detail really necessary?
I spotted this unfortunate post on the BBC earlier. Man dies after dog pulls him into road Seems like the owner's #dog was spooked while being walked on a lead, and ran into the road, pulling him with it. He was hit by a car, the dog escaped injury. The
Sleep Posting
Good day to my awesome connections and to the other bPPers out there. Time now is 11:15 am here in the Philippines. Just chilling here in the office, waiting for my days off! LOL! Also, glad to see the sun after days of incessant rain. Anyway, a couple of
Is it really worth it?
I read an article a few months ago about the inequality of pay rates (Peter Fleming, the Guardian, 26 May 2015) We are no longer paid what we are worth - just look at dog walkers which fits in well with how I am currently feeling. Worth versus earnings P

I Forgot To Add Persona Paper To My Schedule...
...HOW?!? WHY?!? I don't know, but it's there now. I have the usual stuff planned out; blogging posts and writing prompts or challenges. Will I get to everything this week? That remains to be seen. I hope I can get to everything though, and start rememberi
Why does EVERYTHING have to be branded these days????
Ranty McRanterson wants a #rant. Sometimes, things I sell on #eBay are not branded, or to be honest, the labels have been cut out because they're itchy scratchy little blighters. But dearest eBay-san still wants everything to have a #brand. Even if it's
What the app says
I have always loved walking. For me, #walking is not just about physical#exercise but one of the best and cheapest ways of relieving #stress and tension. It makes my head clear and never fails to lift up my spirits whenever I feel weigh
An Walk A Day Keeps The Doctor Away
Yes I know the old saying is "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" but I decided to substitute the apple for a #walk, as although fruit is very good for us #exercise is far better. Last wee I read an article on the BBC news website about how inactivity w
Confused Reactions
I read a rather worrying #article on the BBC this morning: UK teenage killer gets life sentence. Turns out this chap was known to have a low IQ and behavioral issues described as 'a severe conduct disorder'. My question is; why was he not in supervised c

Lost My Balance Rewards Points
One of my New Year's goals is to get back on track with my walking, and also to get back to tracking my steps on Walgreens' Balance Rewards Healthy Choices program so that I can earn Balance Rewards points. Between previous #walking and shopping deals, I
Just Walkin' in the Rain
Getting soaking wet. But I really didn't know it would #rain when I left. I knew it was about time for the gardener to show up and I wanted to avoid the noise he would make. I knew it was cold out, though, and put a snow hat on under my sun hat. There was
Diet or Die!
Well maybe too #harsh but it is true. If I want to live longer than I have to start my #diet. After 2 months (Sept. and Oct.) of #continuous parties and #fiestas has taken it's toll. All the #left-over foods had to be eaten instead of wasting. Also less ex

I Walked Over Three Miles Yesterday and Another Mile Today
I finally discovered a site where I can find out how far I have gone when I have finished a walk. I have been busily going back over some of my past walks and mapping and saving the routes. I name the walk, map it out manually, record the time it took to f
How Not to Take a Walk
Today was a beautiful day. I got up early, for me, had a breakfast cookie and a glass of water, and took the car to the corner of the last street I needed to walk to finish #walking my precinct. It didn't take long to do the two blocks. It felt wonderful t
