Di, at Pensitivity101, is our host for Share Your World each week. Here are her questions for this week.

1. What frustrates you the most about modern day living?

It’s a 24×7, always-on world. Most of us are suffering from information overload, and in many cases it is misinformation or disinformation that we’re seeing and hearing. And with our smartphones and tablets, accessing all of the news feeds streaming on our devices, it is hard to turn it all of. I don’t know about everyone else, but I find it exhausting.

2. What was your favorite decade and why?

The pre-internet days, pre-social media days, when we had to communicate with each other face-to-face or by telephone or by written and mailed letters. Maybe the 70s.

3. What was your ‘best buy’ (for example: house, car, clothes, computer, etc.)

I don’t know. Maybe it was the first house I bought, a fixer-upper, in Riverdale, Maryland. A friend of mine and I bought it for $15,000 in 1970 and sold it for $95,000 two years later. That was a lot of money at the time. The equivalent of about $713,000 in 2024 dollars

4. Do you have any non medicinal allergies?

I am fortunate to have no food allergies and no allergies to airborne things like ragweed or polling. But I am allergic to Trump supporters. They all make me sick.

    I’m allergic to people who don’t use their minds and follow what they hear/ read on social media mindlessly

    Your answer to number 1 is so true. I miss those days when at a certain time, channels would be signing off for the night and then you have to wait the next day for them to sign on again.

    Thanks for joining in Fandango. Loved your answer to #4. I hate it when everyone is obsessed with their smartphones to the extent that they see nothing else and cannot hold a conversation!
