This Reverse Robinhood Stuff is Taxing


Turns out having the most powerful man in America be a racist, bigoted, misogynist hasn’t really been a great thing for our nation. Go figure!
I am actually embarrassed to tell people I meet from other countries that I’m from the US… Don’t get me wrong, I love the United States, but this is not our best… not even close. Hateful, scared, racist, bigots can’t be who we are as a culture. We have to be better than this.
The lies, deception, and distractions have really been overwhelming. People are tired of having to keep track of every single new tweet… every tantrum, indiscretion, racist comment, and embarrassing act. Then there’s always the lingering fear that Trump could start WWlll with his antics. It’s as if our president were an immature middle schooler with access to the nuclear codes. And of course, all the lies from those fake news stations are just liberal propaganda to make Trump look bad, right? I think I speak for many when I say, we’re all getting really sick of this baloney!

Tati’s World: I Can’t Stand Gym People!


I don’t know what’s worse working out or the A-holes at the gym? My fitness life has been null and void for many months and my main excuse for getting back on track, is people at the gym. If I lived somewhere warm all year around I’d workout outside where I have plenty of space and minimal distractions, but I live in VA and we experience all four seasons. So, now that’s it’s cold as hell, I have to go sweat inside like EVERYBODY else. Recently, I joined a 24 hour gym, so I can go at times when less people are around to annoy me. Yes, it’s less people, but they still get on my nerves.
Like recently, I figured I’ll go to the gym at 10:30pm on a Friday night because no one will be there. Nope, nope, nope it was packed! None of these people have somewhere to be? No dates, clubs, the movies, Netflix and chill? I went from disappointed to pissed off as soon I walked in. Not only was it crowded but some inconsiderate ass people where having a Couple’s Pregnancy photo-shoot in the gym? Really?

The Mafia Chronicles: Old Las Vegas Lives On At The Tropicana


There aren’t many major establishments left in Las Vegas like the Tropicana where the country’s most famous (and infamous) mob-connected people once walked.
Though it has undergone expansion and renovation through the years, the 60-year-old Tropicana is not the most luxurious resort in town. It has a small gaming area and a sportsbook consisting only of a ticket counter — no television screens to watch the games on, no chairs. Sports fans are better off being at places like Caesars Palace or the Westgate.
But if you want to stand where the big names in Las Vegas Mafia history once stood, head to “the Trop.”

The Neighborhood Watch: Build It and They Will Come…


Most people keep track of their lives with great memories and it’s often said, “That was the best day ever!” At times we say, “That was the worst day ever.” We count all these days as the sum of our lives but often I wonder how many days have I spent in the service of others?
Recently, I did just that!
In Tampa, there are areas that are not as developed and safe as others but there is always an effort to improve those areas. No matter what it looks like there are good people that just want to live a good life as best they can. They want a safe neighborhood and a safe place for their children to play when they come home for school. For me, it’s called the University Area.

Tati’s World: Sluglife the Sequel


My last column I discussed the “Slugging Etiquette” and shared some of the notorious slug driver’s I’ve come across such as Sir Talks a-lot, Rule Breaker and Reckless Driver. This time I’m going to share a few more of my slug stories because why the hell not!
If you remember from last time, one of the rules from the “Slugging Etiquette” was no talking on the phone and I talked being stuck in the slug car listening to a conference call. Well, it happened again! I get in the car and I hear random chatter but it didn’t sound like a conference call at first. Then I hear the “Good Morning everyone! Who’s on the line?” I guess I could’ve put my headphones on but I wanted to be nosey.
Book Review: A Sick Life by Tionne T-Boz Watkins (Rodale Books)


TLC has been my favorite girl group since I was a little kid! I remember having Ain’t To Proud 2 beg on cassette tape and jamming out to it with my father. As I got older I mimicked T-Boz, my favorite member, as much as my parents would allow which was usually baggy jeans and her hairstyle. I was absolutely thrilled that she had written another book, this time about things I always wondered about my favorite group or wanted the truth about.
Once I got my hands on it, I was elated! There’s a great cover photo of T-Boz in her classic grown woman but a tomboy look, “A Sick Life” at the top in sparkly gold letters and 235 pages. Being an avid reader, I knew I would devour it; sure, enough I finished it in a day.
Everything’s Relevant: To Poop Or Not To Poop? That Is the Question!


We have all been there…that moment when your stomach cramps up, you break out in a vicious sweat, your grip becomes deathly tight on whatever you may be holding on to at the moment and you realize that there is no way you can release any amount of air without a full blown catastrophe.
Several years ago this happened to me in such a manner that for the first time in my life I actually considered, seriously debated the pros and cons of literally crapping my pants. Don’t judge me, you can’t tell me with all honesty that you have never been there and had that debate with yourself. I mean the rumble starts and before you know it you are holding on for dear life and grinding your teeth together while desperately trying to use every single butt muscle to close off the inevitable. Also, just a side note…it NEVER happens when you are somewhere convenient like say HOME!
Magnum PI Co Star John Hillerman Dead at 84

Leading True – Crime Network ID Discovery Lifts the Veil on MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDIES IN A SMALL TOWN, “VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED”


Legend has it that the quiet, picturesque village of Dryden, N.Y., inspired Frank Capra’s vision of Bedford Falls in It’s a Wonderful Life. But contrary to that image, Dryden became the setting for a strange string of tragedies and murders between 1989 and 1999 that left residents wondering why death stalked their beloved town. To them it was a tragic coincidence, but outsiders gossiped about a curse, labeling Dryden as a real-life “Village of the Damned.” Residents have maintained a code of silence… until now.
Nearly two decades after Dryden’s dark years ended, America’s leading true-crime network, Investigation Discovery (ID), brings the mystery to life in a serialized format that features the town itself as the central character, as well as a Greek chorus of residents that lived through this tragic time. Each episode pries open one chapter from that era, starting with the cold-blooded execution of an entire family, followed by the murder of a beloved football coach, the untimely deaths of two beloved cheerleaders, and the tragic ripple effects that touched all corners of the community.
Delusion and Denial in America…


Let’s make one thing clear right now…. and I mean crystal clear.
The “sanctity of life” is NOT an American value. So how about we fess up and stop the charade. Sure, we value the lives of people we know and people who are famous. But in general, it’s just not a part of our culture.
Paul Farmer said it best when he said, “The idea that some lives matter less, is the root of all that is wrong in the world.” If you give it some thought, it really rings true. In fact, it is the baseline measurement that Americans use to determines if we should get “up in arms” over an incident, or whether we should simply file it under, “status quo” and move on.
Tati’s World: Short People Problems!


I’m an average short person. At a mere 5 feet and 1 inch, I’m shorter than the average 5th grader. Which is quiet humbling, especially when the kids from my daughter’s school keep asking me what high school I go to? In a few years, my 7 year old daughter will be looking down on me and she can’t wait. Shit, I can’t wait either! No more stepstools and catching leg cramps from over-reaching, she’s fetching everything from the top shelf and the middle shelf too!
Speaking of the top shelf, how come everything I need from Walmart is on the top shelf and pushed to the back? I always have to climb up the shelves to get what I want. Sometimes my daughter and I become a human ladder and I lift her up to reach the items. But that balancing act is always the last resort, she’s too heavy to balance and shoulder press in the air in the middle of Walmart. Plus, kids have bad balance and they don’t follow directions, she’s always grabbing everything else but what I told her to get. The human ladder was our go to move when we went apple picking, we got all the good apples! Why would any want to invite short people apple picking, anyway? How are we going to get anything good and who wants to walk around with a step ladder all around the orchard? No one, that’s who!
