I used to be a customer service representative for companies such as Sears, AT&T, HP, and several others. I was taught at the phone company first. We were to sound professional, to talk into our headsets so we could be heard and...

Loretta @celticeagle It's not so weird anymore. My son was on the phone about a product and the man was very rude.

Loretta @sw8sincere It does for sure. Today, I'm so over tired and loss of sleep is making me feel forced to do things that need done. I noticed an increase in craving for sweets too.

Loretta @Kandae11 Oh, I misunderstood. I loved watching old westerns. Fred MacMurray was such a great actor. Just most westerns weren't what real life was. Still entertaining.

When talking to someone face to face you get the message (in most cases) - they want to portray ,through their facial expressions, body language or tone of voice. But what about when you are online and talking to someone you can't...

Loretta @1creekgirl I have laid over in Denver many times. When you get a connecting flight, they give you time to get to them. If the prior plane was delayed, many times, they contact and hold the plane. You just can't stop to use the bathroom, etc. Go directly. Get...

Loretta @TheHorse That took me a minute. I do worry having my card info stolen. Had it happen twice on the road before. Once on the 210 at a Love's gas station and the other was a Chevron outside Gallop.

Loretta It's such a great read. I knew the trail existed and always wanted to travel it but never by covered wagon, until now. I doubt it will ever happen but the book took me there to learn so much.

Loretta This isn't a movie. It's a autobiography written by Rinker Buck. It's so good. I like Westerns too.
