About Selfies & Belfies

If you ask my boyfriend what is my biggest fault, he will probably answer my obsession with pictures. If you ask me, it's more of a passion, not an obsession, and it's a quality. But no surprise there, women and men, we usually don't agree about much, do we?  However, we might agree about belfies. If you don't know what belfies are, rest assured I didn't know either until about 10 minutes ago when my best friend mentioned this new trend to me, and OMG, who came up with this? Probably Kim Kardashian, right?  Well one article says yes ... and here is the latest belfie I could find of her ... Real classy, huh?  But apparently another "lady" is the belfie inventor and belfie queen and her name is Jen Selter:  Now first of all, Kim and everyone else out there, there is a reason Iphone invented the selfie mode: to get rid of the mirror.

I have even read books about finance and acclaimed criminals - my ex-boyfriend was into them, so of course I had to check them out. My point is I am not difficult when it comes to reading material. I just read. I am not some sort of writer who rides are on a literary high horse and only talks about Hemingway or Proust. M...

If you know me at all, you know I am the first to say flight attendants are sometimes kind of jerks, but mainly to each other, not to passengers. So I was a bit surprised to hear a friend of a friend complain that a flight attendant harassed her. Usually people complain about a delay, a reroute, uncomfortable  seats, older flight attendants, but never had I heard of any of my colleagues "harassing " passengers. Being curious, I had to ask what the story was. "Well I had my foot on the emergency equipment and she wouldn't stop telling me to take it off. I was sleeping and she kept on waking me up to take my foot down." As the words came out of her mouth, my smile was slowly widening. "But you are not allowed to put your foot ... " I started, but couldn't finish. "I know I was wrong, but I wasn't that wrong," she interrupted. What did that even mean? Wrong, but not that wrong ... "She was just doing her job. She do...
