Mrs. Enginerd - Nerd Whisperer
Everyone has a favorite movie franchise. It is very difficult to find a flaw with the material you grew up loving, and the many worlds you fantasized visiting with your favorite characters but when a corporation like Disney takes over, mistakes will be made. From eliminating the Expanded Universe to The Force Awakens tip of […]
Every so often a post pops up on social media about people’s expectations. In many cases, the point of the message is as follows: If your expectations are too high, and no one meets them, lower them but if they constantly exceed they may be too low. How can you decide which one is the […]
During the presidential and general elections, the media made a stink about the Millennials. They went from crybabies (due to not letting go of Bernie Sanders’s loss) to slackers that didn’t go out to the polls to vote. It seems the adults in the room can’t stop complaining about, and have borderline bullied, an entire […]
We are standing at a crossroads. The high road looks like the right one to take but with so many people going low you start to wonder if you can endure the hike. It feels like common sense is common anymore and all the guise of civility has been ripped off our shoulders. Why are […]
The hate is strong with some guys when it comes to accepting women and girls can learn stats, share sound opinions about plays and players, or even play like the best of them. In my middle school years, I was captain and/or all star of many sports teams which led me to encounter many situations […]
After fifteen years together, my husband has amassed a collection of self imposed rules that take away the coolest aspect of being alive: the flexibility in our choices.

If you approach them and start up a conversation they will carry it flawlessly and exceed your expectations. However, deep down inside, […]
Cuando era pequeña y estudiaba en colegio católico, las maestras nos asignaban un valor cada semana a los grupos de clases para que hicieran una presentación durante la asamblea mañanera. Recuerdo claramente el día que mis compañeros y yo presentamos una obra sobre la perseverancia utilizando a Charlie Chaplin como nuestro personaje principal. Todo fue […]
We all have pet peeves. As an introvert, mine is asking a binary answer question and getting anything but a simple yes or no answer. Why must people unload on me their entire thought process or worse, answer my question with another one. Ugh! Yes or no. Yes or no! I didn’t ask for your […]
I’ve always been fascinated with learning where all the entrances and exits are in a building, restaurant or location. Between my 80s upbringing, the Die Hard movies and my mom’s military training I always knew these doorways, elevators, staircases and windows were important for my survival in case of an emergency or threat. However, I […]
