Believe it or not, there are ways to say “I love you” without spending a penny! And oftentimes, they are better than expensive gifts — just don’t tell my honey I said that. Some of the best gifts I’ve ever received have been ones that cost the giver virtually nothing. A love note, a picture, a specially made origami swan — these are gifts you keep forever. Think about all the gifts you get from a dog. No, I’m not talking about that! I mean the unconditional love, the greeting at the end of the day, the snuggles just when you need them (and sometimes when you don’t). Usually a dog doesn’t have money, but the gifts they give are priceless!

If you’re a Voxox user, you’ve been making free phone calls. But have you ever wondered how Voxox can provide such a valuable service at no cost? When you use a traditional phone service, you can imagine little electrons of your voice being carried up a telephone pole, over some wires and then down another telephone pole to the person at the other end.

Face it. People make mistakes. In restaurants: “You mean you ordered the grilled scallop risotto and NOT the scalloped potatoes?” At home: “Oops, I thought that bag was for Goodwill.” Many mistakes are annoying but fixable. When you sign up for a contract with a mobile service provider, it may not be so easy.

A guest at a recent holiday party, knowing my obsession with Voxox, asked me why, of all the OTT mobile apps available, they should use Voxox. Like anyone who is asked about their obsession, I was eager to engage in the conversation.

Welcome to 2015! It’s time to wipe the proverbial slate clean and start anew. Blow the dust off your workout gear, reacquaint yourself with vegetables, volunteer at the local shelter and go for that new job. But hurry! You’ve only got two weeks until the New Year’s resolution zeal begins to wear off!

Hipster trends

A couple of years ago, I bought a record player for a hundred dollars. In the ensuing months I went on a vinyl binge that got me thinking I was pretty hip. I hit every record store in town, carefully examining each record for scratches, even making the shopkeeper play them in the store before I made a buying decision. A few months later, the record player started malfunctioning, with the turntable slowing intermittently, and my brief hipster fantasy came to an end.

I’d like to leave a message

Remember secretaries? They were the people who worked in an office and were dedicated to assisting their boss. Secretaries answered the phone, took messages, kept the boss’ schedule, remembered important birthdays and a myriad of other tasks, some perhaps quite loosely associated with the actual transactions of the business.

It’s starting. The “buy-polar” craziness of the holidays. One minute we run up against an Ebenezer Scrooge, the next minute a Bob Cratchit crosses our path.

The culmination of an entire year gets stuffed into a single month, punctuated with decorating, shopping, visiting and stressing, and each year we get through it somehow. During all of this merry upheaval, we need to remember what the season does best — it fosters human contact.

Recently someone I know (not me, I swear) was dumped in a text message. I think she was more shocked about how he broke up with her than she was about the actual breakup, and after seeing his cowardly approach, she and I agreed she was well rid of him. It was the equivalent of the Sex and the City episode where Berger breaks up with Carrie on a Post-It note.

The selfie has gotten a bad rap. Blame it on the “sexters” or the Narcissists. Personally, I blame the hipsters, who hate everything. You could also blame it on the nuts who take selfies with a homeless person, then text it to their friends. Can someone please tell me what’s funny about that?
