CAN A TEACHER GET A FREE METROCARD OR WHAT?

Okay readers so personal thought. While I was getting on the bus today, a crossing guard got on the bus with me and showed her ID and got on the bus for free. While I who also work for the City of New York had to pay my $2.75 so I could get to my next job. I am a substitute teacher, but I am on call everyday and am on the bus or train all the time.  So why is it that teachers can't get a MetroCard? Are we unworthy of the pass or something? Seeing that we wake up at the break of dawn to get to where we have to go and then take public transportation, most of the time I think we should get one. Personal spending $116.00 dollars each month out of my paycheck is a little uncalled for, since I am living paycheck to paycheck. I am sure that the MTA will find some other reason to hike up the fair to $3.00 dollars at some point and then the monthly MetroCard will also go up in cost. What are your thoughts? Should teachers be entitled to free MetroCards OR Should all city

IT'S BEEN A WHILE

Hey all it's ME!!! Well it sure has been a while since I posted anything here, and I wanted to come by and give and update on what is going on around me, with me, and for me. Life is so a big ball of stress, but you have to push through it and smile or else you will totally drown. So let's first start off with what's going on around me. Well most of you know that I live in New York and last week was a total mess with traffic and all since the Pope was in town. There were a lot of people out there showing love to the Pope for his visit to the United States. I only got to see him on TV, because I wasn't going to go out there  plus, I like my sanity. Getting through any cowards in New York will drive you totally crazy. But it's great to see so many people show their faith, since so much of us really don't.  Whatelse??? Well unless you are one of the mold people or living in a cave you totally saw the Super Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse. It was amazing! I spe

GRAMMAR CHECKER- GRAMMARLY.COM

Hi All, So I recently released my book Altered Genesis, and wouldn't you know it, after uploading the book and ordering a copy I found some  mistakes that I did not catch before publishing. So I had to spend more time and more money fixing the book to re-upload it again, and send off for more copies. My point is it's always good to have a second peer of eyes going over what you've written. Those eyes can catch all the small mistakes that could cost you big. We sometimes hire an editor to help us with our books, but what if those editors also need eyes watching them. I was recently told about Grammerly which if you didn't figure by the name is a website that serves a second peer of eyes for you and freelance editors. GREAT!! A site that will catch all those mistakes that you and your editor might overlook. I wanted to share the infographic that was sent to me. The information provided is great for writers, who are looking to hire freelance editors to help make

JUST SAYING: SLEEPING BEAUTY

SOooo I am watching Sleeping Beauty with my son and I've seen it before, but I was looking at it with a different eye. At the part where Beauty meets the Prince in the woods, I found it strange that this girl is in the woods and some strange man comes out of nowhere and starts talking to you and grabbing on to your hand and you don't scream or kick him in the face? Happily Disney just gave me a conversation with my son that started as such, when you see a woman singing by herself in the woods, run..don't stop and talk to her just run.

WAKE UP--SO WHAT IF I SNORE!!!

I've come to the conclusion that one should no longer sleep on the train. Why? Because here in New York if you sleep on the train and you have a snoring problem, people will continue to stare at you long after you've woken up.  Mind you I am talking about myself here. Why the hell is it so surprising to people that there are those in this world that snore?  Don't stare at me it's weird. People have jobs that tire them the hell out and that's me at the end of the day. If I want to take a nap..that's my business and if I snore that's also my business. Sorry if it's too loud for you or you aren't used to it. Thought I would rant about that today since it happens to me all the time.

RIP LEONARD NIMOY:GONE FROM THIS WORLD TO A BETTER ADVENTURE

RIP to the man that give us all the motto to live by "Live Long and Prosper". Leonard Nimoy will be missed by all. He lived to be 83 years old and with some of the years of his life brought joy to many by playing his iconic figure Mr. Spoke. I for one can say that I like Mr. Nimoy a lot in all that he did. He was an amazing actor and I wish him GOD's speed in his next adventure in the world beyond. LEONARD NIMOY 1931-2015
