Spoilers, Man!

   I go back and forth about Spoilers.  Sometimes I hate them, sometimes I am okay with knowing what is going to happen.      I think it depends on how invested I am into the thing that I am about to get spoiled on.  Or if I am already sold on the movie and want to see it.  A few examples.      Recently I saw the Venom movie.  It was not that bad.  I am glad I saw it, it was enjoyable, not great, but a good escape for a few hours.  But the Trailers made it look bad.  It was cringeworthy what they choose to show.  They showed the worst parts of the movie.  Like the Motorcycle scenes are the worst of the whole movie.  I could have done with another trailer that shows, and possibly spoiled some of the bigger plot points to get me on board.  Solo is another recent example of the marketing gets in the way of an enjoyable movie.  The trailers decided to show the wrong parts.  They could of spoiled just a bit more of the story to get butts into seats.  It is a shame, because it was a good,

Are bad digital stewards for our children?

So, I made this Video awhile ago.  I'm going to still post it here.  It it I pose the question of why I see either what looks like first generation immigrant Latino or low-income parents just let their small children bury their noses into devices.  Or just let them do whatever they want.  I will go to these people's house to deliver pizza at like 11 on a Tuesday, and the kids are still up and it just makes no sense.  I talk more about that in the video.  I do not remember if I got to an explanation or not in the video, but I think it might be, as far as first generation immigrants it is more a they do not know better.  As in they came here for a better life, and now they have money and financial stability, or at least more than they ever had.  Since they have never had money, they do not know how to use or keep the money.  They do not know the next step in success.  These kids parents do not value education because they do not have one.  They think they are doing fine, and are

Essential Oils - How ESSENTIAL are they?

     Just to start off, I have never liked the name Essential Oils.  The marketing of it just smelled bad from the beginning.  It's like I am missing something without these oils.  The name is deceptive from the start.      So, I have a lot of people that I love and respect that are into these Oils.  I may anger some of them with this post.  I want to say right that I am not attacking these people.  I am attacking the outlandish claims and lies that these products make.  I have always thought that Essential Oils were, I don't want to say fake, but not entirely truthful in their claims.  I just did not have the data to back it up.  Now I do.      Do Essential Oils work?  Yes and no.  Mostly No.  Here is a podcast that explains the science behind it very well.  To summurize, they do work, but only a little bit.  For esample, if you were to imagine your energy level as a persentage, like your phone, and you are running low, like a t 20%.  You are getting the low battery signs.
