I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve seen those commercials trying to entice people to become medical assistants. It&#8217;s a worthwhile pursuit, but you&#8217;d never know it by the commercials. The people they show as medical assistants would make me not want to become one.
Where do they get this people from anyway? When they speak on the commercials to encourage [...]]]></description>

From the dawn of time until just a few years ago, whenever a woman wore a dress or a skirt, especially in a formal environment, she always wore hosiery. That is, stockings, pantyhose, or tights. Excluding beachwear, until recently I virtually never saw a woman wear a dress/skirt and not wear stockings.
Now there is another new [...]]]></description>

(John Joseph Fontana: 1923 – 2006)
     On Monday, November 13, 2006, my father died. He was 83 years old and would have been 84 on New Year’s day. We buried him on Friday, November 17, 2006. Following is a tribute to my father, including some words that I spoke at his funeral. Even though I [...]]]></description>

There is a new phenomenon upon us. It concerns the concept of not receiving any change when you purchase something at certain stores or eating establishments. I was in a restaurant, whose name shall not be divulged here, and the check came to $8.87. You pay at the table, so I put a ten dollar bill in the [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m sure that most of you have seen those signs in store bathrooms that read:
Employees Must Wash Hands
This is a short post but a true story. In a local 7-Eleven, the employees know me and let me use their restroom on occasion. In their restroom, besides the usual Employees Must Wash Hands sign, they also have [...]]]></description>

Merriam-Webster&#8217;s Online Dictionary defines a gratuity or tip, as follows:

I never thought that women looked right when they tried to be tough or very serious. I wasn&#8217;t sure of the reason, but I never thought that women who play tough cops or other tough roles were very convincing. It just didn&#8217;t seem right.
Look at the picture above. That&#8217;s Mariska Hargitay from &#8220;Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

This Blog has already addressed the issue of Proper Coffee Assemblage. Now we will tackle the problem of rudeness at coffee stations. A coffee station is a place where you assemble your own coffee, such as at 7-Eleven. At Dunkin&#8217; Donuts, they pour and assemble the coffee for you. At Starbucks, they pour the coffee for [...]]]></description>

I despise tattoos on girls. As most people are aware, tattoos conjure up images of bikers and sailors. For me, they still do. Tattoos belong on bikers and sailors and not on girls. Girls have had tattoos in the past, but they were circus side-show freaks. Just because girls have tattoos today doesn&#8217;t mean people have to [...]]]></description>
