Are you being seduced by what you are watching on TV?

Scene One: It has been many sun cycles since we first initiated infiltration with the Earth humans, far too many cycles for Earth humans to grock. At first, we took care not to be detected by the Earth humans. We grocked that it would be too traumatic for the Earth humans to discover that they are not alone in the universe. The factor we did not initially consider is Earth human indifference. What do you intend when you posit indifference. Let me take a pass at explaining. We grocked that if the Earth humans were to detect our presence, they would react unpredictably. Not knowing how they would handle knowing about us, we chose prudence. Despite our effort to remain undetected, we were detected by one of the more clever Earth humans who shared the discovery with other Earth humans. Very rapidly, our covert approach to infiltration became unsustainable. Our presence on the Earth planet was no longer hidden from the Earth humans. Although our presence is not widely known among the Earth humans, knowledge of

Being nice is usually a good approach to most everyone. Even more important is being nice to you. Listen and see if you agree. I'll bet you do.

Do you remember way back before social distancing was a thing? Just to prompt your recall, join me on a little trip down memory lane. It's good not to forget since one day we might actually return to those days when we did not give any thought to hanging out and crowding close to each other.

Welcome Tidbitters. The podcasting team has some thoughts and advice for the writers and bloggers among you. Since they are all podcasting from their homes, you will notice that not all audio is equal. The team is social distancing and wants to assure you that they are still here for you. They know how difficult writing can be and how much that difficulty is amplified when trying to blog. I think you will find their tips and notions about writing and blogging helpful as you pursue your passion. Please enjoy. If you have any feedback for the team, tweat Gary @DrGaryCrow or send a note to Gary@GaryCrow.net. Gary will make sure the team gets your comments.

Does sheltering in place put added pressure on your family? Are your family relationships subject to increased jeopardy? Is your family at heightened risk? The answers to all of these questions is, "It depends." It depends on how well you personally handle the added stress and how conscientiously you attend to the pressures and stresses on your family relationships. The episode includes some tips and perspectives that you may find helpful.

We are all under a lot of pressure these days in addition to the virus itself. Those extra stresses may include economic as well as emotional. Just having to shelter in place and social distance when we do leave home are definitely not normal and only add to our sense of uncertainty and anxiousness. We each know how the situation effects us and have some idea about how it is effecting others in our families. What we may not think about is how much pressure current circumstances are putting on our relationships, especially our relationships with our significant others. Even solid adult relationships can give in to the pressure if we aren't very careful. For that reason, I am sharing an episode focusing on long-term relationships and those things we need to remember and give the special attention they deserve. It takes about an hour.

The Audio Tidbits band is practicing, but the gang is not all together. It's that social distancing thing. You'll hear how that works out for the band and maybe pick up a little life principle that is worth a think or so. Listen and see what you think about everyone working from home on a long-term basis.

Even if you are still leaving home to go to work, your activities are probably quite restricted. There is a long list of things you can't do and places you can't go. That means that you are spending more time in close proximity to your family. And being closer to each other does not necessarily lead to more closeness. It's perhaps even more likely that you are working from home or – worse yet – without a job. The result is that you spend most all of your time with your family. Can you relate to this? My parents have been gone for several years; but when they were still alive, I loved them dearly but definitely would not have wanted to live with them. Had it been necessary, we would have worked it out; but living together is not something either they or I would have chosen. The same holds for my adult children and for their children, for that matter. My family is special to me; but living with them on a 24-hour basis sound like a prescription for trouble. But this is a time of little to no choice. That's wh

This is an episode that includes 2 tidbits for me, 2 for you and 1 just for fun. It also works if you just want to take your mind off more serious things. I also work in a little astrology.

Does 20 seconds ring any bells for you? Had I asked you that just a few weeks ago, you likely wouldn't have had a clue. These days though, most everyone knows about 20 seconds. Think washing your hands while social distancing and sheltering in place. I certainly have no advice about how to wash your hands, when to wash or how often. I'm just helping with that 20 seconds thing. It's not very long but seems like a long time to wash my hands. I'm just washing away, wondering if the 20 seconds are up yet. …
