Dr. Lane’s Thoughts XXXII
1) Please stop making excuses for why your kids are less capable than you. Yes, they live in a different world than you but you lived in a different world than your parents so your argument doesn’t hold water. Also, a teenager is not biologically, physically, or mentally different today than when you were the same ago.
On the other hand, if you want to raise entitled and weak kids then go ahead and continue what you are doing. You are doing a fine job of creating dependent kids who will always need their parents to bail then out through all the “crises” of normal life. You know those ‘crises’, like getting and keeping a job, getting a car repaired, buying groceries, waking up before 10 AM, being dependable, getting a bank account, dealing with romantic entanglements or ending those same entanglements. You know, those crises that you learned and survived that you are certain that they cannot handle and never will be able to because you are (and always have been) much tougher. idiot kids are not born, they are created.
2) My dog (Leo #4, almost 3 years old) thinks that I belong only to him. If I kiss my wife Leo has to be there, between us, making sure that my wife doesn’t get to kiss what Leo thinks belongs to him! [This feeling doesn’t do both ways; my wife is fine with Leo kissing me]. Leo loves my wife and his favorite place to sleep is next to my daughter but he definitely has possessive tendencies about me.
3) If I could own one farm animal it would be a goat. I think that they look like so much fun. If I could own one wild animal it would be an otter. Otters always look like they are having a good time. The problem with having either one is that you can’t take these social animals away from their own kind and that means owning several of them and now I am getting into “crazy land” of animals. It is best for me just to enjoy them on a farm or in a zoo.
4) For those of you who could pay their rent but didn’t because of the moratorium on evictions, do you intend to pay up when the pandemic is over? Do you intend to wait out a full eviction by not paying what you owe? Where do you think you can move to once you get evicted for not paying up your full debt?
5) This is for all those people who have never asked me, “what does Dr. lane eat for breakfast?”. What can I say but…”thanks for asking!” and now I will answer the question (that no one asked):
[It is always the same thing for breakfast]: 16 ounces of a fruit concoction/drink that I make fresh each morning from the pounds of fruit and stuff I keep in the house just for making this drink.
To do this you must have POUNDS of fruit of every kind all the time. I am talking about being on a first-name basis with the produce guy at many markets! All of this is put into a NINJA blender (a very strong grinder/mixer that lasts forever).
This morning:
Banana
kiwi
oranges (mandarins actually)
sliced almonds
chia
celery
grapes
ginger
turmeric
blueberries
strawberries
And this was only this morning. This is what I drink every morning with seasonal variations.
6) Gloves and masks! Use them! They work!
I am not just writing about preventing COVID-19, I mean all infectious diseases. This pandemic has caused me and my staff to use masks and gloves every minute while in the office and the results have not only included preventing the spread of COVD-19 but also not influenza or colds. Now that is good news and the information I need to continue this regiment for the rest of my career!
7) I remember looking at a photo of a child that my mother had found. I assumed it was a picture of her with the loose puffy gown for clothing and the long black shiny hair. I showed it to her to ask her how old she was when the photo was taken.
“Oh, that isn’t me, that is your Uncle Art”, she stated.
I laughed with the uncontrolled hilarity that only a 12 year old could release. My Uncle Art? The old man with thinning hair and the set of tools he always carried in a brown bag in his truck (“just in case”).
But that was the way it was back then (1920s). Clothing for children was unisex and easy to access for changing diapers and neither gender got a real haircut until they were about 3 or 4 years old. There was no reason that my old uncle wouldn’t have looked like my mother as a little boy.
He was a great guy. He had a family of 6 kids who look at act a great deal like my own brothers and sister. Our voices are so similar that my Aunt (Art’s wife) mistakened me for her son when I called her a few years ago.
Arthur Wallach was one of the lead scientists for the Philadelphia Department of Health during the first outbreak of Legionnaire’s Disease back in 1976.
8) I am moving from one city to another about 6 miles away. I will be completely moved by April 15 but we are in the process right now. We hired a woman to clean the new place before we moved in (and she will clean the old place after we are gone), another guy to paint the new place, and a third guy to assist me as I moved stuff from the old place to the new one, cleared out a storage unit, and assist the second guy with the painting.
Our ‘not so’-secret way we get people to work for us? We pay very well! When people know we want to hire them they are eager to work for us! I pay my own employee in my office for 50 hours a week but she works for 37. Another girl gets $100 for working 5.5 hours on a Saturday at a job she held for 3 years before going on to a very nice job in the district attorney’s office in Elizabeth, NJ.
For all you people who sincerely believe that you have to squeeze every dime and make your employees feel exploited with poor pay and a burden of a job – get bent! No one will work for you when you need them.
The only way to make money is to make sure that everyone wants to do business with you, everyone makes money, and everyone wants to work for you.
