The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

The latest episode of my podcast ( I Feel Snitty ), entitled, "The Pen Is Mightier Than the Needs of Families Trying to Slow a Pandemic.," is now available. Here's a brief description of it: Have to wait longer than expected for your coronavirus-bill-paper-check? That's likely because Donald Trump insisted on placing his signature on it. In this episode, I dissect why his insistence was, as a Debbie-Downer Valley Girl might say, "Like so not good." In addition, I sarcastically (real sarcasm, Donald...) run through some other hypothetical scenarios where I could see The Donald taking credit for another's accomplishment and then essentially wrecking said accomplishment. The episode can be heard in its entirety at this link: https://ifeelsnitty.podbean.com/e/the-pen-is-mightier-than-the-needs-of-families-trying-to-slow-a-pandemic/

I love when this happens. Yeah, so I suppose I earned my degrees in psychology, but even I have trouble staying tuned into a conversation if it all is being directed toward me without me being invited to join before a decent amount of time has lapsed. I don't know if this is very common, but if I'm involved in a conversation and the person I'm talking to doesn't let me say anything for a certain period of time, I lose interest and my mind begins to wander a bit. I'm thinking that might be fairly common, but don't have the stats to back it up at this juncture. In any case, if one of the two parties is doing all the talking, that other party may just feel like it wouldn't matter who they were, so long as a living being is there, they would suffice. I know some people may not be thinking about this at times, but even though it seems as if their world is going to end (according to them) and they have a great number of things to get off their chest, it's nice...
