Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Talking to Senior's

 


I have been receiving calls from my mom's best friends who are a senior citizen and telling me if I can hear them clearly as they tell me stories their children are telling them they need to start wearing a earing aid.

My adopted mom said why do I need to wear a earing aid when I call you I can hear you clearly and heck I don't want something hanging in my ear the more people know I have aged.

I was teasing my adopted mom people will not think your old because the hip thing now us younger people are wearing ear buds in our ears to listen to music so either way does it look like I am old too.

We had both laughed and my adopted mom either way I don't want something hanging inside my ears how irritated it will be to have something stuck inside.

Just last week I had received a new earbuds I had ordered online Manang V asked me what is that so expensive. I had informed Manang V it is earbuds to distract myself from the noise in the house. I asked Manang V do you also want one for your ears so you can hear us but for you it is hearing aid since you have told me several times you cannot hear us.

Manang V said my budget is PHP 150.00 ($3.00) I said if you buy something that price it will be broken when you use it once and there is no hearing aid for that price range.

Manang V said than I would rather hold off on the hearing aid and let you talk a little louder or go close to you when you speak.

I remember one Grandmother told me when you reach my age you will know how it is so right now you can laugh at me and I will laugh up there in heaven when you reach my age.
