Water

The drink mix by Pur is clearly a substitute for Crystal Light. I just used it to flavor my water (see pic below). A long time ago, my aunt Gloria introduced me to Crystal Light. I kept using it to flavor my water for years and years. I didn’t know about the Pur drink mix. My mother introduced me to Pur recently. I have no problem using/purchasing both brands. I am happy to use both products.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ORCID profile

I worked on / updated my ORCID profile a short while ago. It is a work-in-progress.

Currently, the main information in the profile includes a summary and my education (degrees/diplomas). Here is a challenge: If you had only my current ORCID profile and my papers to review, could you guess my experience or employment history?

Dry Skin

I like cocoa butter because it does marvelous things to my skin. I am using it today to moisturize my dry skin. I use Red Fox Tub O’Butter. 

Years ago (about 20 years ago), I used Palmers cocoa butter. I used it everyday and I smelled like cocoa. Red Fox Tub O’ Butter is different from Palmers and there is no cocoa smell.

Insurance update

My insurance company requested information on my car accident so I provided it. I hope my insurance issue will be resolved soon. (In case you are wondering, YES - I am insured with GEICO and I also worked there. Just coincidence of course. At GEICO, I worked on requirements/user stories for a new system. I am now a Design & Usability professional but not at GEICO).

I did not know GEICO should be involved in deciding what costs/expenses should be paid. I explained in the email:

"I am a little confused by your email/correspondence. The email states 'GEICO has received notice of a claim against our insured for an accident'. Does this mean someone submitted a claim for my insurance (with GEICO) to pay? I hope not. There should be a claim for another person's insurance to pay my costs associated with an accident."

I have a few photos of the vehicle on my phone. I did not provide the photos in my email to GEICO. I probably should provide later. I provided the pictures to Allstate Insurance.

Another Paper Submitted

I recently finished and submitted another paper for publishing.
There was a lot of research involved. I reviewed a lot of articles to select the right ones.

It is a new year!

I started working on a new paper for publishing. My foot is better but I have been climbing stairs. I pray that everything works out.

Daily Prompt on Accident

Have you ever been in an automobile accident?

I was in an automobile accident a few months ago. The accident occurred in front of a shopping center (strip mall) in a fairly nice neighborhood. I was driving by the shopping center. A guy in a red vehicle was leaving the shopping center and failed to stop before making a right turn onto the street. I saw what he did so I honked my horn to get his attention. I even tried to swerve away from his vehicle. Sadly, the vehicles collided but it was not as bad as it could have been. Swerving to the right prevented a more serious accident that would have involved the body of my vehicle.

After the accident, we thought my vehicle had only minor issues. But, boy, were we wrong! After driving for several minutes, I had problems with my steering. I almost ran off the road. I blogged about the drive in a recent blog post: https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2022/12/worse-experience-driving-to-laurel.html
