Homelessness is a huge problem in every country and West Australia’s capital, Perth, is no exception. There was a news article today about ‘hostile architecture’ and the ways in which local authorities are making it hard for...

sulynsi This issue has become more and more visible - it seems to me, maybe I'm mistaken, but it seems it is even more prevalent since COVID. I used to live in a large city in Canada, and it wasn't unheard of to see folks, usually individuals suffering from mental...

The term "on fleek" and people saying "that's clutch" I find incredibly annoying. Probably because they're nonsensical. Yes, even slang should make some sort of sense, I think. Those sound like they were invented by a...

sulynsi I have never heard those expressions. I find that there are business buzz words that get a bit tired with overuse and start to get irritating.(usually because they sound ingenuous) I also find certain pronunciations irritating - like swallowing a consonant...

Today I read my messages as usual. I saw an email from Norton. This email said that I have to pay $765 for my renewal charge. This was scary because I don't use any antivirus. And $765 is a huge amount of money. I don't earn this...

sulynsi @dya80dya One of the common scams is for 'Norton' - scammers use 'Microsoft Windows' as well to trick people into thinking they are legitimate. A hallmark of scams is that the scammers tend to try to bully you, scare you, hurry you up, ask you to share your...

sulynsi There are so many scams running out there - and they are effective unfortunately. I encourage you to listen to a couple of 'scam baiters' on youtube that help you understand what some of the common scams are and I think it might make you feel a little more...

2 classes down, 3 to go. I have back to back classes off so I have an hour break. I've done some laundry and the dishes. The students are definitely out of the groove with virtual learning. Most refused to turn their cameras on...

sulynsi I am a learning consultant for my firm. Engagement is SUCH a struggle with virtual classes. In this case, it has a lot to do with workload - students are trying to do their regular job at the same time as the course.

sulynsi @MarieCoyle '''To have a friend, you have to be one.''' This makes me think of a person I've known for years, someone who I tried to support through her depression. During COVID, we moved away and when I reached out to keep in touch, I was rebuffed, as if I...

sulynsi It really depends on your skill set. I have worked from my home office for 8 years now. I started working in the office and as time went on it just made sense to work from home all the time. Ever since the pandemic, the idea of remote work has become more...

sulynsi I'm so sorry this is happening to you. You sound like one of the best friends she has ever had. But this is a common story. I've seen it time and again. The one that does the most is the one that gets it in the neck when the depressed one is in that 'mode'....

When someone asks you "How are you?" . . . how do you respond? I most likely say "I'm good. How are you?". I guess it's just a formality . . . an extension of "hello". To me, it's polite to ask about the other person too,...

sulynsi Years ago, an acquaintance told me he didn't like this formality. He felt it was forced, mechanical and insincere. Over the years, I have heard different ones express this point of view. Perhaps this individual shares this perspective and feels...

sulynsi Kindness, manners and decency don't get much media play - scandal, rudeness, shock value - these grab headlines - perhaps these people feel it will get them the attention they so desperately crave?

sulynsi Isn't it weird!? When you actually look at these large pills, they aren't really that big compared to some things a person may swallow, but its crazy how they don't go down! I always have to split them in half, and make sure I've positioned them properly so...

sulynsi It can very hard when we are mistreated. We all want to be loved, respected. People today are often angry, abusive. It is getting worse and worse. But it is not surprising. The Bible tells us that the world is under the influence of an evil spirit - as a...

sulynsi If a room is messy, I think having a drive or compulsion to tidy is a good thing - I find that mess makes me irritable and cranky but tidiness is beautiful and peaceful. It makes me think of an interesting scripture on this very point: 'God is a God not of...
