Hello! My name is Karen and welcome! I’m a mom to two young men. I’ve been married to the same wonderful, patient, thoughtful and generous man (Kevin) for 35 years.
I used to work full time in a healthcare clinic (12 years) before moving to the precertification dept and work from home now – it’s my “day” job. I squeeze in family time and blogging in between all of that. (Okay, I really spend the majority of my “down” time watching gamers on Rumble or searching writing-related content).
We converted a cargo trailer into a camper and I guess we’re campers now! (Since going on cruises was put on hold because of the COVID crap).
I graduated from college with a B.S in Technical Writing – so I’m a wordy know-it-all, as well as a minor in creative writing – so don’t always believe what I write. *wink*
I believe in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Writing Well. (I also believe in our Constitution – Don’t Tread on my Rights, Yo).
I can be snark-a-licious, but only when provoked or when confronted with ignorant, ill-informed knuckleheads.
I’ve been blogging (on and off, mostly off) for…. how many years…? (I’ve lost track, quite honestly).
I also have a lot to say about nothing.
Brace yourself.
I thought Springfield had the no-smoking ordinance, too. But it turns out, restaurants can allow smoking if a certain percentage of their sales are alcohol sales.
Apparently, this place met the requirements. I seriously thought I was going to pass out. The husband said my eyes were glassy and I didn’t look too well. We paid our bill in a hurry and shot out of there before I got sick.
We have no intention of going there again.
I’m so glad Greenville, SC, has a city no-smoking ordinance. Even a lot of the restaurants outside of city limits have started phasing out smoking sections. It makes dining so much nicer! 🙂
Yeah, I’d be cranky, too. Actually, I’d be running out of the restaurant, hacking and coughing and trying to breathe. I’ve done that before and I’ll probably do that again sometime in my life.
Yep, I’m extremely sensitive to cigarette smoke. It’s annoying at times to be so sensitive, but I look at like this: my kids will NEVER be able to smoke without getting caught!
