Sharing More 'Rent A Stripper' Videos And Some Global Independence Day Facts

Hello Everyone! I found a couple more videos, shot over the weekend, while ripping up glued down carpet with a machine in my co-host Melissa's basement. We are installing laminate flooring very shortly. I intend on doing a tutorial video and launching it on YouTube and letting you know on this blog. My dog Daisy was put on the bed to keep her out of harm's way. She decided to jump off the bed and run around under foot. Meanwhile, she is terrified of the vacuum cleaner and hides. Her running under foot was frustrating since I was worried about her getting hurt. For anyone new, my Daisy girl is a 10-year old senior, female, black/white colored, Jack Russell dog. She is loved by friends and family alike and has been around since she was a pup. I post quite a few videos with her on my Verbally Disastrous YouTube channel. Therefore, she is involved in my carpet stripping videos as well. My co-host and best friend Melissa is my pal in the video seen ripping up the carpet into strips and lifting sections while I use the machine to tear them off the floor. FYI- I added the sub-titles for my friends who reside outside of the U.S. where English is not the primary language. I know my older videos have don't have subtitles. If I get enough requests, I will go back and add subtitles to the older videos. I just need to know via commenting. Here are the YouTube videos from the Saturday night Stripper action: 'Rent A Stripper' Sat Nite Action Clip #1 video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/WHsor8nkpoQ 'Rent A Stripper' Sat Nite Action Clip #2 video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/0Wk9A2XJnNU 'Rent A Stripper' Sat Nite Action Clip #3 video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UrlykkuWv_U 'Rent A Stripper' Sat Nite Action Clip #4 video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/yxYK38I2MVU I thank you for stopping by my little world to either read and/or listen to my "work of art". We are getting even closer to the upcoming holiday weekend (here in the U.S.). For my peeps that are not in the U.S., this upcoming weekend is the 4th Of July- a federal holiday. This holiday is observed throughout the United States and is also known as Independence Day. This historic holiday marks the anniversary of the Second Continental Congress adopting the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The Congress, made up of delegates from the United States’ original 13 colonies, unanimously approved the document that declared independence from Great Britain. Here are two interesting facts around this historic and monumental moment in time during the "birth" of the United States: 1.) The Continental Congress didn’t vote for independence on just July 4. Twelve of the 13 colonies had approved a resolution calling for independence on July 2, 1776. 2.) Many of the original signers didn’t ink their names on the Declaration of Independence until Aug. 2, 1776. Before you say anything further, I am going to check on some other countries, from around the world, who also celebrate their independance from another country. Yes, the world does not evolve around my country. I know!! :P In all seriousness, these moments give me an opportunity to learn about other nations. I value these moments to learn more facts about the rest of the globe. I don't have the time and energy to look up every nation in the world. Therefore, I shall cherry pick a sample of nations from around the world. Obviously, I welcome your input from your country that you respresent. Some liberated countries include the following: 1.) Baharain broke free from the clutches of the British Monarchy on August 15, 1971. 2.) Korea celebrates National Liberation Day ever since August 15, 1945. Three years later, they split into North and South Korea. The Koreans were occupied by Japanese forces. These Japanese forces were defeated by an alliance effort between Korean, U.S., and Soviet militaries. 3.) India successfully broke away from the United Kingdom to gain independence as of August 15, 1947. 4.) The Republic of Congo gained it's freedom from France ever since August 15, 1960. 5.) European nation, known as Lichtenstein (between Austria and Switzerland), achieved their freedom from Germany on August 15, 1866. 6.) Bolivia throws a 2-day party to celebrate their independance, ever since August 6, 1825, from Spanish and Peruvian control. *NOTE*- ADD THE NAME OF YOUR COUNTRY, YEAR IT BECAME INDEPENDANT, AND FROM WHAT OTHER COUNTRY IN THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW. I WILL EDIT THIS POST AND ADD IT BELOW MY LIST. Have you used this carpet stripping machine before? Shout out to people skilled in carpet removal and installation. I give you props and much respect. I would not want to do that every day for a living. Then again, I no longer have my 20-year old back. Getting old sucks!!! My back pain from the weekend carpet stripping is starting to subside. I have to use muscle relaxers to loosen up those lower back muscles over time. As stated a million times previously, I appreciate your feedback, comments, and suggestions to improve my content. I wish you a peaceful evening or morning on your side of the world. You are appreciated and I hope you get a laugh or two our of my tall tales and detailed observations. I shall harass ya again soon enough so have a fabulous Wednesday evening and upcoming Thursday morning (unless you are already up and ready for work)! Peace out, Cub Scout my friends! :P Cheers!

Advice On People Who Mirror The Behaviors Of Others

Photo Credit: www.Alamy.com Stock Photo Hello Everyone! I had forgotten that I had originally started this tidbit of advice, on Quora, and it was sitting idle in the draft section. Well, it is high time to pull out this writing, edit it, and get it shoved right out to Quora-land! I try to only respond to questions specifically requested for me to respond. However, I am not above offering unsolicited advice. People either take it or leave it. I will try to answer a question even if I think the author is messing around with me. Regardless, I try to tackle it in a serious manner. You never know if someone is really struggling with a choice and my viewpoint helps them make a proper decision. This question is asking if mirroring another person's behavior is intended to make the other person feel comfortable? The short answer is NO!! I see nothing comforting or helpful about manipulating a situation in order to get another soul to drop their guard and become open for the other person's bidding. This type of a scamming human should be eliminated from the planet via being thrown into an active volcano! I'm dead ass serious about it!! I have done some reading on these folks in an effort to understand them and properly avoid them the next time around. They all have appeared to have suffered some form of trauma as a young person. Therefore, they pass on the trauma to any person that crosses their paths. The cycle then continues when they taint each person along their life path. If there was a way to stop these kinds of toxic people, I would love to see them all stopped in their tracks. Here is the posed question and my amateur input. Mind you, I am not a college educated "shrink" at all. I merely offer my logical thought process that is based upon my encounters with these types of people in my 45-years on this Earth. What do you think on the topic? Do you think the same or differently? If so, how would you approach the scenario? As always, drop a comment in the section below this post. If you have a topic suggestion, by all means offer it below. Check out my feedback here: POSED QUESTION: "When someone mirrors your behavior, does it mean they like you or are they just trying to make you feel more comfortable?" -Sofi Beall MY RESPONSE: "They: a) just happen to share the same similar traits as yourself b) are working hard to mimic your behavior to showcase similarities in an effort to draw you in. Once you are drawn in, they can manipulate you further. They only “like you” because you serve as a benefit for them. Nothing more, nothing less. Before you know it, you are paying their car note or doing tasks that they don’t want to do. Even worse, you could marry and divorce this person and end up paying them child support or alimony for years! I certainly hope, for your sake, that they just happen to share some common behaviors and are a great fit with you for a relationship. It is absolutely terrible to get caught up in the web of lies that are shot out from a narcissist. I have dealt with that breed of human, over the years, in different capacities. Sadly, they bring nothing but games, drama, and manipulation to a relationship. In a romantic capacity, the love bombing comes in the very beginning. They appear to the the calmest, kindest, most generous, and funniest person alive. It feels too good to be true. If you go as much as 3–5 years without a single argument or problem, it very well may be a red flag. The systematic, emotional abuse and constant feeling of not being “good enough” follows once they believe that they are “in” your life. If anything happens they are displeased with, they will do evil, sneaky things behind your back or withhold the bedroom action for years, if they have to, in order to get what they want out of you. Sadly you initially believed that you meant a lot to the person. Once you are locked under the person’s claws, you see the real person. Later on, you realize you are just a human that is there to do their bidding. The scariest part is the realization that what you thought they were is all a big, fat lie. You then realize that the person you lie next to night after night is a total stranger! Any one who purposely tries to mirror your behavior is not doing it to make you comfortable. On the surface for a split second, I’m sure it is flattering to have someone go out of their way to make themselves appear to be a “perfect match” for you. Once you get past that, it is not cute or endearing. That person is just manipulating you to get what they want. You may or may not benefit from this relationship. Usually you lose big time with this type of person. I can think of no scenario where mirroring behavior is comforting. Mirroring is just all around creepy and manipulative. I sincerely hope you can escape the clutches of anyone trying to remotely mimic your behavior and then ruin your life. I wish for you nothing but a healthy, loving relationship. Leave those toxic people behind. Success is the best revenge! I wish you luck!" -Leslie M. Jasper https://www.quora.com/When-someone-mirrors-your-behavior-does-it-mean-they-like-you-or-are-they-just-trying-to-make-you-feel-more-comfortable/answer/Leslie-Jasper-3?prompt_topic_bio=1 I thank you for stopping by my little world to either read and/or listen to my "work of art". Are you looking forward to the upcoming holiday weekend (if here in the U.S.)? For my peeps not in the U.S., this upcoming weekend is the 4th Of July. It is a Federal holiday that came as a result of the original colonies gaining their independence from England. Perhaps we can drill down into the history of that holiday closer to the upcoming weekend. As I mentioned before in earlier posts, I had a busy weekend that involved work and checking out the Housatanic Brewery. I have posted videos, from the weekend, on previous posts as well. I still have residual back pain from the weekend activities. As stated a million times previously, I appreciate feedback, comments, and suggestions. I wish you a peaceful evening on your side of the world. You are appreciated and I hope you get a laugh or two our of my tall tales and detailed observations. I shall harass ya again soon enough so have a fabulous Tuesday evening and upcoming Wednesday morning (unless you are already up and ready for work)! Peace out, Cub Scout my friends! :P Cheers!

Advice On What To Do When You Get The Silent Treatment

Photo Credit: Professional-Counseling.com Hello Everyone! I checked out questions specifically requested for my reply on Quora. This question was on how to navigate the silent treatment. Who doesn't like the silent treatment? I prefer that any day to the "verbal Olympics" of a shouting match. I am humored with the possibility that these questions are meant as a joke. It is even funnier if it is a legit question. Nonetheless, here is my take on this question posed on Quora: POSED QUESTION: "What does it mean if everyone goes out of their way to ignore you?" -Kelsa Baker MY RESPONSE: "If everyone goes out of their way to ignore you, they are passive aggressively trying to let you know that they are not accepting some form of your behavior. Whether it be your words or something you did. If a group of people simultaneously join in all together to give the silent treatment, you must be doing something wrong. Either that or they are all an over sensitive group. I would personally enjoy the silence and carry on as usual. To me, the silent treatment can be rewarding. :P There are a few solutions: 1) ride it out until people get tired of being quiet 2) ask for a meeting to come to a resolution 3) remove yourself from the group 4) attempt to modify or stop your behavior Whatever your choice is, I wish you much luck". -Leslie M.

We made the best and poked fun at a bad situation. We also went to a Housatonic brewery and had a few drinks while watching the band named "Junk". I have posted videos, from the weekend, on previous posts as well. I still have residual back pain from the weekend activities.

Just Released- My Rear Wiper Assembly Replacement Tutorial!

Hello Everyone! I am sharing my very first attempt at doing a tutorial. I used Wonder Share Filmora Video Software to create the video. I have never ever created a video with a bunch of clips before. My goal is to practice and get better at working on the tutorials. That is, if there is an interest in the content. I avoid going to the car dealership if I can avoid it. The prices for parts are high at a dealership. Therefore, I first tried buying the wiper assembly at a parts store and online at Rock Auto with no luck. The replacement rear wiper blade assembly was purchased on Amazon: HODEE Rear Wiper Arm Blade Nut Set Replacement for Honda CR-V 2017-2019, Rear Wiper Cover Accessories Assembly, Wiper Cap Set For Back Windshield Window- via the Hodee Store. The part came quickly in the mail and was relatively easy to assemble. I popped the housing on the end of the wiper assembly, used channel locks to remove nut, remove entire old assembly, hook main assembly to the middle of the blade, put up new assembly over the nut on glass, gently tighten, and place housing over the nut. Once installed, slide the yellow cover off the blade and the job is done! Both Melissa and I are very handy and we both work on a variety of different tasks. I renovated an entire house and did most of the work myself over a time period of 20 years. Melissa just bought another house and we have started doing projects on her house as well. As various items break down, we will buy the parts and install them ourselves. Perhaps we can inspire others to take a stab at doing their own installation. If there is an interest in these types of videos, I am willing to do more of them. It helps to have my own collection of tools as a +25-year journeywoman electrician. A friend suggested for me to try to showcase my various projects. Yes, I was in the middle of installing the wiper blade and the thunderstorms came on me suddenly. I was hurrying and trying to do the tutorial quick. In the process, my tongue got tied. I will try to do better moving forward. Here it is so let me know what you think! https://youtu.be/V6rIGaykANs I thank you for stopping by my little world to either read or listen to my creative work. Did you have a good weekend? I helped my friend to rip up carpet with a machine this past weekend in the videos above. Those videos are in a prior post. Prior to doing the work, we hit a diner and got to record an argument in the diner while we are eating. We made the best and poked fun at a bad situation. We went to a Housatonic brewery and had a few drinks while watching the band. I have posted those videos on previous posts as well. I have residual back pain from the activity. As stated a million times previously, I appreciate feedback, comments, and suggestions. I wish you a peaceful evening on your side of the world. Hopefully, you experienced great weather this past weekend. You are appreciated and I hope you get a laugh or two our of my tall tales and detailed observations.

We Ripped Up Carpet Glued Down With A Stripper This Weekend!

Hello Everyone! Melissa and I ripped up some carpet, that was heavily glued down, in her basement over the weekend. This is at Melissa's house. We went to rent a carpet stripper over the weekend at Home Depot. I even placed some videos in the Spotlight section on Snapchat. The machine sure felt heavier than 132 lbs. when we were loading and unloading into the truck! You need to put some ass into the machine to propel it forward. If you weigh the same amount as the machine, you will struggle with moving it forward. It is these moments where I don't mind being built like a brick shit house. The best method we found was for Melissa to cut the carpet with a knife into strips. While I was pushing the machine, she was pulling up the strips of carpet. The "just pushing" method would have made the project go much slower. The glue on the floor made it a challenge as well. I kept losing my shoe in the glue. For the record, I have a brand new tattoo on my right foot. Therefore, I have to wear flip flops for about 2-3 weeks. It is summer time so that is not a big deal. We worked on a 25 ft. x 25 ft. section of carpet in the basement. It took us about 7-8 hours to finish removing the carpet. We smashed that task, got some food, took showers, swallowed some muscle relaxers, and went to sleep. Getting old is rough! Towards the end of the task, it was rough finishing! We didn't have much in the energy tank at the end. I am sure it would not have been cheap to pay a team to do the work! We got the machine back to Home Depot before the 24-hr time frame. We will do a video, that is more in depth, on installing the laminate flor that space the following weekend. Melissa and I should get onto a Home Improvement channel in the future. From my first house, I learned how to do a bunch of projects solo. I have to finish stripping paint and put up some new paint my other location. If you need to strip some glued down carpet, here are the specifications on the machine we rented at Home Depot. Pro Floor Stripper Specifications: Dimensions: 1. Assembled Depth (in.) 40.5 in 2. Assembled Height (in.) 25 in 3. Assembled Width (in.) 17.5 in Details: 1. Cord Length (ft.) 37 ft 2. Engine 115 VAC 60 HZ electric motor 3. Horsepower .75 HP 4. Maximum Blade Width 16 in 5. Weight (lbs.) 132 lbs Rent A Stripper Clip #1- on YouTube: https://youtu.be/WHsor8nkpoQ Rent A Stripper Clip #2- on YouTube: https://youtu.be/0Wk9A2XJnNU I thank you for stopping by my little world to either read or listen to my creative work. Did you have a good weekend? I helped my friend to rip up carpet with a machine this past weekend in the videos above. Prior to doing the work, we hit a diner and got to record an argument in the diner while we are eating. We made the best and poked fun at a bad situation. We went to a Housatonic brewery and had a few drinks while watching the band. I have residual back pain from the activity. As stated a million times previously, I appreciate feedback, comments, and suggestions. I wish you a peaceful day on your side of the world. Hopefully, you experienced great weather this past weekend. You are appreciated and I hope you get a laugh or two our of my tall tales and detailed observations. I shall harass ya again soon enough so have a fabulous Monday! Peace out, Cub Scout my friends! :P Cheers! Leslie M.

Weekend Fight In The Diner- On YouTube!

Hello Everyone! Melissa and I were sitting down to eat some breakfast at a local diner in Danbury, CT over the past weekend. While in the process of walking towards the table, we felt some eyes on us at a nearby table. I ignored it and go on to ordering my food. We kept hearing some arguing and some nasty comments at the same table. Before we know it, we hear even louder arguing. The videos do not do the situation justice. These women were yelling and screaming very loudly. It appeared that the group was mad about the older woman dropping napkins at their table. The woman felt disrespected. It was at this point where I decided to record the screaming, while in the middle of eating my steak and eggs, in video #1. By video #2, they were up from the booth and screaming loudly while walking away. It was almost like they were yelling in sync in a parade going out the door at the door. We finished eating and went out the door. By this point, the matriarch of the group had called a police officer and they were exchanging in the parking lot when we left. Here are the two videos on YouTube: Diner Rant Video #1 on YouTube: https://youtu.be/e-RNgkEQoIo Diner Rant Video #2 on YouTube: https://youtu.be/e-RNgkEQoIo I thank you for stopping by my little world to either read or listen to my creative work.

Advice On How To Avoid Gold Diggers

Hello Everyone! I have a few requests for me to respond to some questions on Quora. I kind of chuckle whenever I hear the term "gold digger". I don't know why I laugh at it or people caught up in the web. It is like bathroom humor. I have no idea why it is funny. It is just funny. I used to think that gold diggers won't impact me as a female. However, I have dealt with a male gold digger back in the day. I tend to be a generous person so I don't mind pitching in on paying for things. However, it got to where the guy would put grocery items in the cart not intended for us to share. It was a long distance relationship so I was not popping up at his house to eat the food during the week day. Who knows if he was using the groceries I bought to feed a side chick during the week. I finally put my foot down and stopped the nonsense and walked away. He would have taken advantage of me forever if I had continued to allow it. The funny thing is, after a year of no contact, he reaches to to try to continue a friendship. I am cordial and don't like to make enemies with my exes. I would never go back to that relationship if you paid me. Here is my advice on how to spot a gold digger. Let me know if you see anything missing and what you would add? POSED QUESTION: "What are some telltale signs that a lady is only interested in you for her own gain?" -Quora Question MY RESPONSE: The signs of a gold digger…hhmm… 1. She wants to know what you do for a living? 2. She is profiling you by asking questions geared towards figuring out what you can afford and can’t afford 3. She will reveal all of the things she has, famous people she knows 4. She keeps up with the Joneses religiously 5. Her sense of entitlement is super high 6. She is always in some form of financial crisis-asks for cash 7. She does absolutely nothing for you! 8. You do everything for her! 9. She expects to be treated like a princess 10. Some aspect of who you are benefits her tremendously 11. She knows that you come from a family with financial means 12. You have made her aware that you can “take care of her” 13. She asks prying questions about your finances 14. She will reject gifts that come from the heart since they have no value to her 15. She leverages sex to get what she wants from you 16. She never pays ever!! 17. She starts fights and accept gifts as an apology 18. She doesn’t show an interest in you- your favorite color, food, likes/dislikes 19. She is not a good listener 20. She lives an extravagant lifestyle and not into saving any money 21. Quality time with you is not a priority. She would rather be with her friends 22. She has no ambition for a career or no goals 23. She won’t get attached to you at all since you are temporary 24. Her friends are also gold diggers- check out the company she keeps 25. She is absolutely obsessed with status in society and showing off her status 26. Her romantic interests are more and more wealthy. This is called hypergamy or “monkey branching” 27. She is out of your league. Meaning, if you were poor, she would not give you the time of day 28. She will check out the people on social media thinking she deserves to live that life 29. She dresses as if she is already rich 30. She is on her absolute BEST behavior I sure hope that you never run into a woman, or a man no less, with the qualities above. After initially getting an ego boost when finding a good looking woman, that feeling won’t last. Being with a person because of your finances is not the best life. When you get older and your health declines, your gold digger will not be by your side. Find your best life and be happy. Good people will come when the universe thinks you are ready. I wish you good luck! https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-telltale-signs-that-a-lady-is-only-interested-in-you-for-her-own-gain/answer/Leslie-Jasper-3?prompt_topic_bio=1 I thank you for stopping by my little world to either read or listen to my creative work. Yay!! It's the weekend!! As stated a million times previously, I appreciate feedback, comments, and suggestions. I wish you a peaceful day on your side of the world. Hopefully, you are experiencing great weather that continues this weekend. You are appreciated and I hope you get a laugh or two our of my tall tales and detailed observations.

Just Released- Podcast Episode #23: The Time I Worked In Jail As A Woman

Hello Everyone! I have just put in the elbow grease so that I may release podcast Episode #23: The Time I Worked In Jail As A Woman on YouTube and the podcast platform of your choice. In this episode, I share my experiences in a work crew installing cameras at the local Westchester County jail. This jail is located in the suburbs roughly 30-minutes north of New York City. I share the antics of my fellow co-workers, the inmates, and the correctional officers tasked with the job to protect us and maintain order in jail. This short story has been made available for Kindle Vella e-book format on Amazon. My Kindle Vella Library is entitled, "Construction Tales- Told By A Woman" by Leslie M. Jasper. I have a total of four short stories that are available for purchase and download. Let me know if you have found my short stories on Amazon via your Kindle in e-book form? I am honored if you have found it and would love a review. Any topic suggestions will be considered as well.
Season #1, Episode #23: The Time I Worked In Jail As A Woman on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2Lb5xmkDzEs As shared earlier, I also just released podcast Episode #22: The Importance Of Fatherhood After Divorce. This podcast episode was based upon a Tedx Talk that was presented by Reno, Nevada family law attorney Marilyn York. Ms. York, along with nine other female attorneys, exclusively represent over 650 fathers in family court. The choice to represent only fathers, for the past 20 years, stems from the fact that fathers are crucial for the child development. Additionally, fathers are considered the disadvantaged parent in family court. I offer the lessons Ms. York learned as an attorney as well as my thoughts on the subject matter. By all means, drop a comment as to how you think about the subject matter. I am sharing this podcast episode again in case you missed my older post. Season #1, Episode #22: The Importance Of Fatherhood After Divorce on YouTube: https://youtu.be/YwAYh0ir7Kw I thank you for stopping by my little world to either read or listen to my creative work. As stated a million times previously, I appreciate feedback, comments, and suggestions. I wish you a peaceful day on your side of the world.

Just Released- Podcast Episode #22: "The Importance Of Fatherhood After Divorce"

Photo Credits: Issued Cup As A Joke To My Step Dad Doug 😛And Shared With My Friends And Family On Social Media, 2021 Hello Everyone! Now that I returned from my trip out to Nashville, Tennessee, I finished editing podcast Episode #22: The Importance Of Fatherhood After Divorce. It just so happens that Father's Day was observed last week here in the United States. Can anyone tell me if this day is observed in other countries? I am humored by the single mothers who look for recognition on Father's Day. I say it to my eldest son each year. For this year, my son said, "Happy Hybrid Day"- a blend of both Mother's & Father's Day. :P Therefore, I shall dedicate this episode to great fathers everywhere. I was a daddy's girl as a kid. Therefore, I recognize the importance of a father in a child's life. I learned many lessons from my dad that I didn't learn from my mom. On the contrary, my mom taught me things that my dad was not equipped to handle. As an adult, I recognize the importance of a father in my son's lives. My eldest lost his father in a motorcycle accident when he was 18-months old. I believe wholeheartedly that this loss deeply impacted my son's life in more ways than I am aware. I feel sorry for any child that is denied access to their father- for ANY REASON! This episode is now on YouTube and released to all podcast platforms. Kindly give it some time to officially launch on the podcast platform of your choice. I am working on releasing Episode #23: The Time I Worked In Jail as soon as I finish editing it. As always, I will share it when I have it released. I worked in the local Westchester County Jail for about six months almost a decade ago. This jail is roughly 30 minutes north of New York City in the suburbs of Valhalla. There was no short supply of foolery while working in the jail with our work crews. The written version of this story is available for Kindle e-book format as a short story on Amazon Vella. Here is Episode #22 for now on YouTube: https://youtu.be/YwAYh0ir7Kw The Verbally Disastrous & Construction Tales Audio Blog on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3VB6SYjhyvbpmBJPK0mdc4 The Verbally Disastrous Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5hEtsTwTWFRWBMw7HqtQXN?si=OCk1FJdZRNCvbqALDdUWDg&dl_branch=1 I thank you for stopping by my little world to either read or listen to my creative work.

Sharing My New Illustrator's Sketches- "Not All Girls Play With Dolls"

Hello Everyone! After a two year hiatus, I decided to get back on the horse again and move forward with the illustration process of my children's book. The absolute best website out there to collaborate with people, from all around the globe, for various types of work at reasonable prices is Fiverr!! I was previously trying to do the work privately and that project got dropped hard and fell on it's head. I really wish I had known about and used Fiverr previously. All transactions go through the website so you have an electronic paper trail. Each person, either buyer or seller, gets a review on the website for each transaction. Based upon reviews, you can figure out if you want to work with the person or not. Obviously, your goal is to get the best reviews possible. I am a relatively new member on Fiverr. I had first used the website to create my podcast logo. Later on, I used a sound engineer to clean up some podcast episodes. There are also writers, filmmakers, sound engineers, editors, singers, narrators, and so much more to choose from on the website- depending on your project. I am working with a female Russian illustrator by the name of Anastasia Taranenko, she is listed as Tad_Art on the website, to create illustrations for my first children's book entitled, "Not All Girls Play With Dolls". Here are the first few sketches that I recently approved to move forward and complete the book. It will be available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Audible upon final completion. In the meantime, I will periodically promote Anastasia's work to help both of us. Check the sketches out:
Photo Credits: Sketch by Anastasia Taranenko of Tad_Art on Fiverr I am hoping to use the original illustrations and blend in Anastasia's illustrations as well. However, I am mentally prepared to scrap the old illustrations and start fresh. I am deeply disappointed that my original illustrator, out of Indonesia, bagged out on me and abandoned the project for the past two years. I had reached out to him to ask to resume work on the project. Sadly, I had received to feedback. I know he mentioned he had health issues between himself and his family. With this in mind, I wish him and his family nothing but the best. It is just painful that I have an incomplete project and wasted money on illustrations. Therefore, it is time to move forward in a different direction and keep pressing until complete. For the record, Anastasia has been very responsive and willing to add my key details while creating her own vision of the design concept. Despite being relatively new herself, I am willing to put my trust in her to get the project completed. I appreciate her patience with me since I tend to get busy and forget to look online for comments for blocks of time. I will share some of her work, on my social media platforms, as the project progresses and give Anastasia credit where it is due. I will even add her name and Fiverr name to my hashtag collection to help her out (check out below). There is great power in those hashtags!! One hand washes the other in this business. If you like her work and reach out to her on Fiverr, please drop my name. That way she knows that I helped send her business her way. I thank you for stopping by, from your side of the globe, to check out my writings and project progress. YOU are appreciated!! Have a great day and an even better evening ahead! Cheers! Leslie M.

My Crazy Adventures And Observations In Nashville, Tennessee!!

Hello Everyone! As you know, I have been off the grid for the past week. I averaged about 3-6 hours of sleep a night while away. Therefore, blogging was not on my dating card much less my vacation schedule. I joined some friends and went to Nashville, Tennessee for our very first time. For anyone not aware, Nashville is the mecca, within the United States, for country music and opportunities to make it big within the recording industry. I first anticipated it to be a town with a few bars in it and some country music inspired attractions. Meanwhile, I left the airport, checked into the hotel, cleaned up, and headed into downtown Nashville on the first night. I was surprised to see quite a few high rise buildings!! I counted at least 25 cranes in use from the drive in the suburbs to downtown Nashville!! The amount of construction in Nashville is amazing and absolutely booming!! I didn't get to Broadway until night two and that was another nice surprise. For about three blocks, there were bars blasting live music on both sides of the streets. My expectations of a sea of rednecks with cowboy hats and boots did come to fruition. However, there were all walks of life on the streets of Nashville- including a sizable homeless population. The army of live bands trying to get noticed within the mecca for country music was staggering. The Grand Ole Opry compound- equipped with a resort, waterpark, shopping, bars and restaurants, and a huge convention center was quite impressive as well!! I had fun with my friends each night of the week! I am back home and actually miss the place and look forward to returning in the future. Here is the street, called Broadway, in the photo below where bars, loaded with live music, played loudly and chaotically on both sides of the street:
Mind you, I am not a huge fan of country music. However, I enjoyed the great energy and lively establishments that pumped out music on every night of the week. As an avid people watcher, this city did not disappoint me. At any given time, there were bum brawls, an alcohol related emergency, tractors pulling drunks, some drunken birthday boy, a girl from a bachelorette party on the side vomiting, people making bad decisions, and much more foolery. The most crowded place and the most fun night was at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge. We hit that bar on a Thursday night. Our luck hooked us up with seats right next to the band. We got to watch obsessed fans of the band and music act like drunken fools! I honestly thought one old woman was going to flash the band. To enhance the experience, men were buying me drinks. One was getting a lil handsy so I had to slap some hands every so often. We were getting our drink on and high fiving patrons while talking smack with just about anyone who was game. :P We were even approached, for some reason by a stranger, to walk a super drunk fellow New Yorker back to her hotel room. Her friends abandoned her and were in the hotel room when we arrived. WTF!!!! You don't leave your friend solo in a bar!! Apparently, she was getting groped by men (cue my face palm). While walking her to the hotel, she told us she got arrested in Paris for acting the fool. We quickly left her at the hotel and went hunting for a diner. We are used to 24-hour spots being open after a night of drinking. The only game in town was a halal truck on Broadway by 2:30AM when the bars close down. We ate the shit out of our gyros- Llmmmaaaooo!!! By the time the weekend came, the street was shut down so that all people could walk the blocks of bars aimlessly without fear of getting hit by a car. My friend chose a hotel that was in a nice neighborhood yet was 30-minutes away from the action. The good thing was a my buddy George didn't drink so he was the designated driver for most of the week. If that wasn't the case, I was prepared to Uber each night to the action. I believe that the noise from Broadway was way louder than Times Square in Manhattan- New York City. I loaded almost 50 short videos on our adventures, by day or by night, onto my Verbally Disastrous YouTube Channel. My favorite video captured was a guy walking around in a bar while wearing chaps with no pants or underwear much less shorts. In lieu of any clothing, he had the American flag painted onto his ass cheeks. Here is the video of that foolery on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NvBfjdXwZt4
We witnessed a middle aged man fall out of his stool and knock himself out on Friday. He was flat out and needed to be carried out by paramedics. The band still played on- I am not surprised. By Saturday afternoon, I expected some of my family members to drive in to join me and my friends. My cousin Kristina and husband Michael live in Ohio. I learned that they were 5-7 hours away during a random conversation prior to the trip. I was happy that they agreed to come down and join me with my friends. They took the trek to Nashville to spend Saturday afternoon until Sunday morning. We broke bread and had a great breakfast before they got on the road. Although I speak with him on Facebook, I met Michael in person for the very first time. I am pleased to discover another drinking buddy. After all, a girl can never have too many drinking buddies. :P I introduced him to Screwball peanut butter whiskey and cranberry that he found to be very delicious yet dangerous- too easy to get a DWI. We saw angry drunks, people selling cannabis and their ass on the street, women who decided to slingshot their bras onto the stage, men rubbing their asses on my knees, dance requests, and tons of sweaty rednecks with matching cowboy boots and hats to rub elbows with in the bars. There was a NASCAR race nearby that added to the traffic on Broadway. I had one attractive man rubbing his ass on my knees with his girlfriend nearby. Here I was thinking that this jerk was going to get me into a fist fight with his old lady!! Now that would have been a total buzz kill! Luckily, she sees him for what he is and brushed it off. For every weird and screwed up person, there was a very friendly fellow patron that was willing to exchange in idle chit chat or even offer a slice of pizza. On Saturday night, The Corey Farley Band was on the stage in a bar for a four hour set. His humor and antics between songs made the night very enjoyable. I was humored that the lead singer opted to randomly sit on a stool next to us while singing the 80's classic song entitled, Footloose. I made sure to capture the moment with a humorous selfie video. Here it is, courtesy of my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LC6w5cjN1A My friends have made the decision to sell their home, by spring of next year, and buy their retirement home within the suburbs of Nashville, TN. I am thinking about entertaining an investment property myself. I would need to find a rental manager and figure out exactly where to buy. We are lucky to have a real estate agent who is a friend of my traveling buddies. Doug Allen, a real estate agent from Keller Williams, had given us a tour of about a dozen homes. He is going to connect me with a property manager that runs a tight ship with property rentals. Here is his contact information:
I want my investment property to be away from downtown Nashville but not too far away. I reviewed towns that were between 15-30 minutes away. I think 15-minutes away is the sweet spot. It is fun to go in and check out the foolery yet far enough away to get a restful sleep afterwards. This area is very appealing since it has nice property options, plenty of tourist attraction, mild winters, hot summers, super low taxes, plenty of stores to shop, and safely away from hurricane season. It is indeed a great location to retire since they don't tax your pension to death either. Having good friends down in Nashville helps to periodically keep an eye on my investment is alluring as well. I would be lying if I said it didn't cross my mind about dropping life in New York City for a calmer life in Nashville. I would most certainly be trying to drag my sons with me as well. However, I feel the need to finish my career here in New York City. For now, I shall remain a tourist and learn about the history of Nashville. We checked out the Ryman Auditorium, it was previously an old church, as it was the 5th location for the Grand Ole Opry back in 1943. Here I thought it was the 1st location. The first Grand Old Opry was started, by George D. Hay back in 1925, as a 1-hour "barn dance" on the legendary AM radio station WSM. This broadcast is the longest running in the history of the United States. Since 1974, the Grand Ole Opry show has been broadcasted from the current location that is east of downtown Nashville. Overall, I learned a lot of history, tried out as many bars and restaurants as possible, listened to quite a few live bands, bonded with locals and tourists alike, checked out some real estate, bought some t-shirts for my peeps, and averaged between 4-7 miles of walking per day. Although it was totally expected, I am frustrated that I gained about 7 lbs during my trip. I am now fasting to get it off of me. Right now, it is just as hot and humid in Tennessee as it is in New York. The bars were packed with people with limited air conditioning. Therefore, we sweated a lot each day and night of our stay. I had brought a few sweaters and only wore one to sleep at night while I had the tundra settings on my hotel room thermostat. I flirted with a few fellas and was even propositioned for sex. Sadly, my friends are such cock blockers- just kidding!!! Although tempting, I feel like I am too old for that brand of random foolery. My girlfriend, her husband, and I all bonded and made some great memories via our various experiences. I sure as hell look forward to future adventures with my pals. My bestiee and podcast co-host Melissa had to stay home since she had to work. She has to come out on the next trip. I recommend checking out Nashville even if you are not a country music fan. This city sure is the spot for wild bachelorette and birthday parties!! We saw so many women strutting around on the streets with veils attached to their heads. It was reported, by the band, that a 21-year old was not let into the bar until she came of age by midnight. She got to go on stage and dance with the band. The various party vehicles, including a bar with pedals for propelling the structure, were rampant as well. There was even a hot tub on wheels available for partying- go figure! I wanted to get in on one of those party venues on wheels and tie one on with my friends. It looks like just as much fun as any Las Vegas party activities minus the extreme heat. I'm sure if I get a place there, my sister would actually come and visit me. :P I have placed many travel photos on my various social media platforms as well as the short video clips of our different adventures. I even got a foot tattoo, courtesy of Morgan from Nashville Ink, on the day before leaving town. My gf got a pendent with her two son's birth stones on the back of her neck along with a nose piercing. Her hubby got "Truckin, Liftin, & Lovin" on his forearm. Yes, it was a challenge to get through the tattoo process on my foot. The needle hit quite a few nerves that made my foot react. It was the worst towards the end of the job. I was screaming bloody murder in my head. I fantasized about doing a horse kick to the tattoo artist's forehead a few times. However, I refrained myself from acting out on those savage thoughts. After all, I am the one who invited her to do the work. :) The foot is indeed a tender spot to get ink. Morgan said that I handled the tattoo like a champ!! She said she would have tapped out. My hip kept locking up so I asked to quickly stretch a few times. My friends even joined me in the waiting area for the tattoo session. Here is a photo of my ink:
Photo Credit: Baby Face Tattoos on Instagram This trip has re-inspired my desire to go back out to doing more traveling. I am working on planning a trip with my sons to Japan, on a cruise, for August of 2022. I also want to explore more locations in the United States that are a mere car ride away. For awhile, I had frozen my travel plans because of work and the aftermath of the 2008 Recession. This whole Covid-19 global pandemic has pushed me out of the travel freeze. It has given me a different perspective on life as well. Life is short so make the most of it. My sons are much older so traveling is not so cumbersome. I thank you for reading my overview of my trip to Nashville, TN. I value the time you choose to dedicate to either reading or listening to my writings. Reminding you to check out a few of my new short stories, that are on Amazon Vella, for Kindle e-book reading. Please subscribe to my Verbally Disastrous YouTube channel. I would love a podcast review- if you can offer it and I will listen and return the favor. Enjoy the rest of your day from your side of the globe. I wish you a fine hump day (read in the Geico commercial camel's voice) and the rest of the week! Cheers! Leslie M.
