There's a children books author named "Holly Hobbie."

It can be her true name, not her pen name.

The interesting thing for me is that her first name can be confused with "holy," and, her last name can be confused with "hobby." For that matter, her parents' family, as a whole, are referred to by others as "the Hobbies," which exactly is the plural form of the English word "hobby." Swoon...

All this hurtling of Android apps' updating is off-putting for me.

Almost every week, there are more than a dozen apps waiting for me to give permissions for updates which are going to occupy more phone storage and RAM space.

I encountered a children's graph book that does not make sense, or even is outright stupid.

In the female authors' narration, the "very little red riding hood" emotionally manipulated a wolf and led him into the house of the teeny girl's grandma. And then she cried and cried, so the wolf tried very hard to please her. Then she fell asleep, thereafter the exhausted wolf, as well as grandma, fell asleep "happily ever after."

A wolf is a wolf, who eats humans and animals all the time.

What does the particular story book teach young girls to do in their future prime years during which they will pass by a"wolf" on the side of a road?

...

To recklessly and heedlessly lead a bad boy into her family's life while emotionally manipulating him?

The outdoor garbage chute looks intereting on those semi-constructed buildings, doesn't it?

North American mainstream media should publish more of men's diatribes, as well as gentler opinions, against the current family court system.

I was left with a deep impression by the excruciating inquisition near the end of the French film "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc".
