Podcasts
Posted By : Rona Gura

I need podcast suggestions.   Since the pandemic, I have undertaken the additional responsibility of doing my own billing.  My husband works on Saturday mornings so I use that time alone to input and prepare my billing.   To say that I find that preparing the billing is tedious work is an understatement. Recently, however, I have discovered podcast

Unplugging

Recently, I posted a blog abut my apprehension on being on a boat for a week with no access to Wi Fi or cell service. I thought I would follow up with my experience.   I must, initially, confess that we had more access to cell service than I had anticipated. The first day on the water, I found myself periodically checking my phone, perhaps once an

It's Resolution Day
Posted By : Rona Gura

Today is New Years Day and, annually, we make New Year's resolutions. The statistics on resolution success are a bit discouraging. Twenty-three percent of people quit their resolutions by the end of the first week and forty-three percent quit by the end of the first month. In fact, the second Friday in January has been coined as “Quiter’s Day,” ref

Merry Christmas

While I do not celebrate Christmas, it is difficult not to get caught up in the  season to spread joy and good wishes.   To all my wonderful friends who celebrate Christmas, I want to wish you the merriest of holidays. May your homes be filled with laughter, warmth, and the delightful aroma of festive treats. May the twinkling lights on your Christ

No Internet

My husband and myself and another couple have been planning a vacation for over a year. We will be on a catamaran travelling around Antiqua for a week. Nowhere near the luxury of the “Below Deck,” boats (Bravo fans will get the reference) but a very different and relaxing vacation nevertheless.   Our planning has been extensive, asking what we need

The Wedding
Posted By : Rona Gura

My youngest daughter, Sydney, got married on October 28, 2023. Since that day I have been contemplating what I would say about her wedding in a blog.   There was an unexpected, for me, difficult part of the day. It was difficult to come to the realization that my baby (she’s the youngest of four) is no longer a baby. She was becoming a married woma

Relying On Online Reviews
Posted By : Rona Gura

How much credibility do you give to online reviews?  If I am going to a restaurant or hotel for the first time I will, generally, look through the online reviews.   But my personal experience has been that people are much quicker to write about negative experiences rather than positive ones. I am uncertain what it is about the internet that can bri

Now that Thanksgiving is over I can make this confession. My favorite part of the turkey is frame, which I never gnaw on in public, only in private. During dinner, with others, I eat only the white meat.     My preference for the frame came from my childhood. As a kid, my sister, mother, and I would clear off the Thanksgiving table while my brother

How Do You Get There?
Posted By : Rona Gura

I have lived on Long Island since I was six years old. As such, I pride myself on knowing how to get to most anyplace on Long Island.    I still, however, use Google Maps as a backup if I am going somewhere I have never been or have not been in a long time. This recently occurred on Friday when I had to venture from my Garden City office which is l

Political Posts
Posted By : Rona Gura

Do you post political posts on social media? I posted something a few years ago about a political issue that is important to me. Unfortunately, I thought at the time that my Facebook was private. Apparently, it was not, and I lost a few clients who had seen my post. So, I decided not to post politically anymore.   In the past month, I felt the stro
