Attention Assembly Delegates:
Several men had shoes that LOOKED like dress shoes, but (they said) felt more like a pair of Hokas in comfort.

Let's see some links and hear some brands, please.

Questions... I have questions...
While going through the TSA security checkpoint at the ATL Hartsfield-Jackson airport I saw for the first time the use of 3D Holographic Projection Fans warning of NO WEAPONS. It was very effective and attention-getting. Have you seen them in use? Have you used them? Are they difficult to program?

Okay, hear me out...
Grounding pads.
I was somewhat skeptical because some of the claims seemed pretty outrageous. I have been bothered by arthritic pain in my knees for many months. On good days I wore one elastic knee brace. On bad days, I wore one on each knee.

Flash forward to my decision to attempt a low-risk/high-reward experiment. I went on Amazon and bought a Grounding Pad for about $50. It's about the size of a beach towel, and goes under the bottom sheet, with a wire connected to the little round ground plug of a wall outlet. No current.

The morning after the first night of sleeping on it I woke up with so little knee discomfort that I didn't wear a knee brace. It has been a dramatic reduction in pain; 90% or better. I am not selling pads or posting an affiliate link. I am just noting something that seems to have made an improvement in my daily health.

TODAY, on Adventures with Bureaucracy:
I had a need to contact the wonderful public servants at the IRS. It was really a simple request for some documentation, but I didn't have high hopes.

In the past, I have dealt with a few less-than-superior employees at government agencies; some who evidently spoke English as a second, or maybe third, language, some who hated their jobs (and the people interacting with them), and some who slipped past the minimum educational requirements for the job. So — like I said — I didn't have high hopes.

After a pretty long wait because "All of our agents are assisting others right now" the phone was answered by a pleasant female voice, speaking standard English, with no hint of annoyance in her tone. She asked a few questions to establish my identity and authorization to obtain the information sought, and took my call-back number, in case we got disconnected. I was elated. She listened to me as I explained the piece of documentation I needed, and said she would pull up some records, which should take 5-7 minutes while I waited on hold.

The line disconnected.

What are the odds of ever getting connected again to the only employee at the IRS I have ever dealt with who gave me hope?

As you prepare to start a fresh chapter in 2024, I humbly suggest it is the perfect time to get into the habit of daily devotions. This 100-DAY devotional format is easy to follow, flexible, and allows you to read from your preferred Bible version/translation. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll have it in time to start on January 1st.

Ever been scammed or misled by an ad on Facebook? It happens a lot, especially around Christmas. Can anyone explain to me how/why social media platforms have hoards of "fact" checkers to eliminate political and social views with which they disagree, but they can't invest any effort in eradicating scam advertising on their platfoms?

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

How have you been tricked, misled, or just plain scammed via advertising on social media?

The bougiest coffee mug ever - a 5-minute pono review.

Any podcast people out there? It's an experiment; we are not quite sure whether our reviews are too visual for an audio format, but let's give it a shot.

Honest product reviews from people who actually use the items in real life.

TRANSCRIPT:
Quick question for you: Have you ever been searching for an item to buy online or whatever, and you read the reviews and the recommendations from people, bought the item, get it home, and then you find out that there were a couple of little gotchas that nobody told you about, that it would have been nice to know before you made your purchase decision?

That's where Pono Reviews comes in.

We aim to give you real reviews of products we've obtained as gifts, or have purchased ourselves, actually used, and we're going to tell you the pros and the cons — not to talk you out of buying anything or talk you into buying anything — but just to make you a more informed consumer, make you able to make better purchase decisions.

PONO is a Hawaiian word that means righteous, or things as they should be. That's what we aim to give you. Pono reviews.

Follow us at the links below on our social media. Subscribe to our YouTube channel, and we're going to try to give you really great reviews coming up soon.

Aloha.
