foreign country, home?

HGTV entices me to consider trading in my U.S “digs” for real estate abroad. But would the exotic life on the Amalfi Coast in Italy provide a safe haven from local law if I found myself on the other side of it? Would U.S. citizenship guarantee me a fair trial thousands of miles from American shores? I wonder what Amanda Knox is thinking, sitting in a jail in Luca, Italy for what remains of her youthful years?…hugmamma.

attitude adjustment

Does race or social status affect customer service? Or is it just a matter of attitude adjustment? There are bad sales people and there are great sales people. Perhaps it’s just a reflection of the values they subscribe to. Whatever the case may be, salespersons shouldn’t “judge a book by its cover.” They might miss out on one heck of a sale. Remember in “Pretty Woman” when Julia Roberts told the sales staff in a Rodeo Drive boutique, “I was the one you wouldn’t help. Big mistake! Huge mistake! Huge!”…hugmamma

  • “the human connection” by ashley montagu and floyd matson

    "Human communication, 'as the saying goes, is a clash of symbols' it covers a multitude of signs. But it is more than media and messages, information and persuasion; it also meets a deeper need and serves a higher purpose. Whether clear or garbled, tumultous or silent, deliberate or fatally inadvertent, communication is the ground of meeting and the foundation of community. It is, in short, the essential human connection."
