Ever wonder why?

Yeah, I know, sounds a lot like Andy Rooney, but, I think I need to vent...

Why is it that a four-way stop can cause such confusion? I deal with two four way stops in my daily travels. One is very straight-forward...four lanes, four stop signs, tie goes to the driver on the right...pretty simple. The other intersection has a left turn lane each direction. That really seems to throw people off...do I go, does the guy in the turn lane go...it's like everybody gets paralyzed or something...same rules apply people, I guess there is just too much to keep track of...

Anywhoo...thanks for letting me vent.

Have a great day! See you on the radio!

Here comes the bride...

New research is finding that a growing number of people are getting married, knowing that the relationship won’t work out. Carl Wiessman is the author of “Serious Doubts: Why People Marry When They Know It Won’t Last,” and he conducted a survey of recently divorced people. He found that 76% of men and 83% of women knew before their wedding day that the marriage was doomed.

So why did they tie the knot anyway? The most common reason is that more couples live together before marriage and they think that if they’re ready for that level of commitment, they must be ready for marriage. Other couples are pressured by their families to settle down. It’s also common for people to marry because they have low self-esteem and they think they won’t find anyone better. Or they believe they can work out whatever problems the relationship has over the course of the marriage. None of these reasons are a solid basis for a long term commitment, and you can save yourself a lot of heartache - and paperwork – just by asking yourself these three questions:

First, is there a serious issue in this relationship? Don’t ask yourself if you can fix it. That’s not the question. Just ask if there’s a problem. This isn’t stuff like “he doesn’t put the toilet seat down.” It’s anything from differences in religion to abuse. If there is something, identify it and ask yourself if it’s something you can live with, everyday, for the rest of your life.

Am I taking this leap for ME? Or am I taking it because someone else wants me to?
Finally - and this is important – am I happier with this person in my life? Don’t think about whether or not you’ll hurt someone, or if you think you can’t do any better. Just ask the question and actually listen to what the little voice inside your head says. Researcher and author Carl Weissman says every single person he talked to about their divorce said the same thing: They ignored the voice inside their head that said the marriage wouldn’t last.

With all that in mind, have a great day! See you on the radio!

Oops...

Between emails, texting, and Facebook, you can stay in touch with everyone from your boss, to your best friend. If you make an etiquette blunder, because the internet is so immediate, it can magnify your embarrassment. So, here’s how to goof-proof your e-life:

First: To avoid emailing the wrong person, write the message before you add any addresses. In fact, tech expert Becky Worley says you should only use email for sharing factual information. If you have to share bad news or negative feedback, use the phone, or schedule a meeting.

Now, let’s look at how to behave on Facebook: Social networking sites are NOT the place for opinionated rants -especially when you've "friended" clients and co-workers.

Another big no-no: Posting pictures of other people without asking. If you post pictures of a party you attended – they may be seen by people who weren’t invited by the host – and cause a problem. Let the host post the pictures. It’s also bad form to post pictures of someone else’s kids without their permission.

Almost 70-percent of us sleep near our cell phone. So sending a text message to someone late at night for ANY reason is a bad idea. The “bleep” of an incoming message could wake them. So unless it’s an emergency – if you wouldn’t call the house phone, let it wait until morning.

Have a great day! See you on the radio!
