because of the internet...

"Hey Dad, what did you do when you were a kid? You didn't have the Internet." - Brandon (age 11)

I love my kids.

They make me laugh.

Much like their father, they are all very inquisitive.

I couldn't help but chuckle when he asked me this question. I chuckled because all that he knows is the internet. He won't ever live in a world without the "information highway." I did. And it was fun. I immediately thought of the stories that he will tell his kids about their grandfather many years from now.

After I stopped laughing, I told him that we managed to have a bunch of fun without the internet or computers. I told him that I spent a lot of time outside. His eyes lit up! Much like me, he likes being outside. Back then...EVERYTHING happened outside. You were considered lame if you stayed in the house in the 80s. LOL

I also told him that because we were no cellphones for us to be glued to...we actually had to talk to the people who were in the room with us. There were no handheld electronics to occupy our time on the 10 hour drive from South Carolina to New Jersey every summer. But we spent our time learning about the cities on I-95. Since there was no GPS, I learned how to read a map. That was fun.

Things were simple then. For example, I loved talking on the phone. If my mom told me that I couldn't talk on the phone for a week, I'd be devastated. I spent hours talking on the phone to my homboys and my girlfriends. It didn't matter. It could be a conversation until 4am or falling asleep on the phone...only to be awakened by my mom yelling at me to get off the phone.

While it may be hard for them to fathom, I actually enjoyed life without the internet. While I enjoy the technology, I'll be the first to admit that it's changed the game. It's made us less humanistic and more robotic

And in many ways...less fun.

the dirtiest things that we touch everyday

There are several dirty things that we all touch...daily. In fact, we touch a few of these things multiple times a day.

Based on some data from researchers...here is a list of the dirtiest things that we touch everyday (in no particular order)

1. SPONGES AND DISHCLOTHS
Do you wash your hands after touching these? If not...you should.

2. SINKS, FAUCETS, AND HANDLES
We have to touch these daily. Often after we touch them, we touch our face. This is an easy way for us to spread germs

3. TOOTHBRUSHES AND TOOTHBRUSH HOLDERS
This is a campground for germs

4. REFRIGERATOR HANDLES
If you are like me and you have kids, your handles are dirty

5. CUTTING BOARDS
I use cutting boards often so I know it's not easy to keep them clean. You must wash them before and after you use them.

6. REMOTE CONTROLS
If your remote control is normally under the couch or under the covers in your bed, it's probably dirty

7. PHONES
You're probably touching your phone right now...

8. PURSES
Ladies...When's the last time you cleaned your purse? The answer is probably "not recently enough."

9. GROCERY CARTS
You know those wipes most groceries have sitting out by the carts? Start using them: Researchers say almost all supermarket carts have E. coli because of the frequent food contamination.

10. KEYBOARDS
Staph, Coliform, yeast, and mold are often found in the crannies of your favorite QWERTY keyboard.

15 things you should do after work instead of watching tv

I found this article while doing some reading. You may want to try these...


It's common for people to unwind after work with more screen time. However, studies have proven that this behavior can often lead to unhappiness, headache, and a reduced quality of sleep. Engaging in activities such as reading, socializing, or exercising — instead of watching television — will have a positive effect on your mental state.

For the longest time, I would come home from work and immediately pop on the TV. It was mindless — after a day of meetings, intensive heads-down work, and never-ending email chains, the only thing I thought I wanted to do was watch five episodes of some sitcom I'd seen hundreds of times before.

But then last year, I realized I was always ending the day feeling exhausted, or worse with a headache. In addition, I wasn't sleeping well. So, I tried an experiment: Instead of turning on the TV in my free time, I'd pick up a book.

The results were surprising. I have more energy both after work and the next day, and I read 23 books in 2017 (compared to around 10 in 2016). And, most importantly, I discovered a way to relax that didn't make me feel like a lazy couch bum.

So, that got me thinking — if avoiding screens will make you happier, what else can you do to unwind after a day of work?

If you're out of ideas, I've compiled 15 for you:

1. Read
It worked for me! Here are several suggestions for awesome fiction and career books to get you started. (I really need to try this one. I haven't read a good book in awhile. I'm a fan of suspense thrillers)

2. Listen to a podcast
Sure, it requires technology, but after you click play, all you have to do is sit back, close your eyes, and listen. (You could start with The 12Kyle Podcast...lol)

3. Call a friend
Catch up with someone you haven't talked to in a while — you never know what the conversation can lead to. (Phone calls are much better than sending a text)

4. Or meet up in person
Rather than going home right after work, meet up with someone and grab dinner or drinks. Just make sure to put your phone away and give them your full attention. (Seeing a familiar face is always fun)

5. Write
Start a blog, write an article and post it on LinkedIn, journal. Don't worry about composing something spectacular — just get those thoughts on paper. You might feel surprisingly refreshed afterwards (although if you are posting on LinkedIn, might want to run it by someone else). (For me, writing is therapeutic)
6. Cook
Or bake! Find a new recipe and try it out — and if you bring your creation into work I guarantee your co-workers will love you. (I love to cook. Cooking is easy. If you can read, you can cook)

7. Meditate
This doesn't need to take up all your free time. Set aside 10-30 minutes right when you get home or right before bed to calm your mind. Here's how to do it if you're new to the practice. (This will give you a peace of mind)

8. Clean your home
Dirty dishes in the sink? Haven't Swiffered the floors in a month? Need to do laundry? Food going bad in your fridge? Use the time after work to get ahead on your chores — even just one chore. It's not only a great way to practice meditation, but it'll free up your weekends for more fun. (Not fun...but necessary)

9. Exercise
Not a morning person? Substitute the TV for a treadmill, yoga class, or online exercise video. You'll feel like a champion. (It's starting to get warm. Get your "summer body" ready.)

10. Go for a walk
If exercise isn't your thing (I get it), go the more leisurely route and walk around the block — as long as it's not freezing or pouring rain. Maybe take some music or a friend with you. (A nice walk does wonders for your heart)

11. Do an art project
Have a coloring book? Use it. Want to learn how to paint or knit? Now's the time to try. (I don't like projects...but hey)

12. Play with your pets
That is, if you have one. Give your dog or cat some love — I'm sure they could use more of it. (Pets are cool if you have them. Unfortunately, I don't have any)

13. Pamper yourself
Paint your nails, throw on a face mask, take an extra long shower. You work hard, so why not treat yourself to some me time? (Very necessary. You should do this often. It doesn't matter if it's getting a massage, a haircut, getting pedicure, or going shopping...it's very beneficial)

14. Solve a puzzle
Challenge your mind a bit by working on a physical puzzle. Or, play solitaire with yourself. If you have a roommate, play a board game. (I'm gonna try this. I don't think I've done a puzzle since college)

15. Make a list
It can be about anything — maybe you need to lay out your groceries for the week, or want to compile your favorite companies to work for, or have been meaning to jot down your New Year's resolutions. Take the time to write them down, then come up with a plan for how to execute on them. An easy way to motivate yourself to follow through. (Make lists can help you organize things)
