hello everyone!

I put in a lot of hours recently to convert my entire blog to audio form!! The hardest part of converting was just the process of going through each blog post. Once the audio is complete, you have to attach the “Listen on Spotify” icon to each of your blog posts. Now you can simply go to Spotify and listen to the entire blog instead of reading it. I just noticed this feature and took advantage of it. Here is the blog that is available in audio form on Spotify:

If you are interested in making your entire blog in audio form, go to Anchor. You even have an opportunity to either read yourself or choose an electronic narrator. Another bonus is the opportunity to make money, via sponsors, when Spotify listeners click on your blog posts and listen to the entire audio episode. Here is the Anchor profile that I have:

I am willing to support the Anchor profiles of other content creators. You just have to reach out and let me know where to go to support you. I thank you all kindly for the support of my blog on Spotify in advance. As always, I thank you, from all from around the globe, for taking the time to stop by my page to support my work!

Cheers!

hi everyone!

I just learned about using Anchor this evening! Anchor is an app, that is FREE, where you record your blog posts and create a podcast! The best part is you have an opportunity to make some cold hard cash if people just listen to your podcast. If you have an Anchor account already set up, comment so I can go check it out and show my support! In posts where I have an audio version, there will be an icon to click on to take you hear the audio version. Here is the link to my Anchor audio version page of my blog (still a work in progress people) where I NEED “like” support:

Here is the audio version of this blog, as I find time to work on the older posts, that will be live on Spotify:

I am adding another option- NO PRESSURE HERE! There is an option to make a monthly donation to my Anchor page as well. I only felt comfortable mentioning it because it has a $.99 cent option.

Truth be told, this option would help motivate me to continue posting. I know once I go back to work full-time, I may not post as much. However, I would be obligated to post regularly, including videos, from work if I have people counting on me. I am supposed to work on a subway type of project here in New York City as a Safety Manager very soon. If I do not post daily, it is because I am heavily involved in tasks. Once back to work, my goal is at least twice a week. I may post vlogs from work since that is easier to do. Trust me- no peers will be harmed in the process. 😛 As always, thanks for stopping by my website and showing support!

Cheers!

hi everyone!

I am giving a quick shout out to the author(s) of Shoppex Nigeria! I truly appreciate anyone sharing my content. Here is the link where I speak about content that I plan to discuss with my son Johnny:

https://shoppexng.wordpress.com/2021/02/25/podcast-subjects-my-15-year-old-son-wants-to-discuss-with-me-leslies-verbally-disastrous-podcast-constructiontales-blog/

As stated previously, the following topics that we plan to discuss are the following:

1. Johnny’s old #ConstructionTales book promo skits when he was 8-9 years old.
2. Robinhood- The trading app and the 20-year old young man who committed suicide over his account issue.
3. Videos via Smosh- A humorous channel on YouTube that he grew up watching.
4. James Freeman Videos- A YouTube channel that focuses on chasing corrupt politicians and law enforcement content.
5. Audit The Audit- A YouTube channel that reviews police and civilian interactions.
6. Meth Urine- A rather odd topic where users of crystal meth drink their own urine in order to achieve a bigger high from the drug. The one topic on this list that I am uncertain about the content and the direction of the episode. I will try to keep it PG as much as possible.

Thanks for appreciating the content and stopping by all of the way from Nigeria. Sending warm wishes from New York City!

Cheers!

Leslie M. Jasper

hi everyone!

I was listening to a video podcast where a male guest host was speaking to a female co-host and asked her to name some influential women in construction. I thought about it and realized that I do not have a list of any major women players in the construction game. In a discussion, I could not run off some names of some amazing female contributors to society. As I explained earlier in my career, I had initially chosen to avoid women in construction. I didn’t want their sins of terrible work ethic rub off on me. As I have gotten older, I became more open to reaching out to fellow hard working women. I have some great examples of women locally that kick ass in their profession. I belong to some women in the trades groups on Facebook. However, I have not branched out too much to seek women in other aspects of construction. I am going to showcase three women who have worked in different capacities of construction.

My first woman to showcase was the late Zaha Mohammed Hadid, DBE, RA. Dame Zaha was a British Iraqi architect. Ms. Hadid was born in Bagdad, Iraq, first earned a Mathematics degree in Beirut, Lebanon, then studied architecture in London, England by 1972. By 1979, Ms. Hadid opened up her own architecture firm, Zaha Hadid Architects. By 1983, Ms. Hadid gained international attention through her winning design entry for The Peak- a recreational Centre in Hong Kong. This design was known as a horizontal skyscraper. Ms. Hadid’s aggressive geometric designs aligned her architecture style with other architects known as “Deconstructivists”. Many of Ms. Hadid’s designs were used and built in locations throughout Germany, England, Italy, Hong Kong, Qatar, the U.S., and many places around the globe. Many of her designs were deemed too avant-garde and too costly during that time period. Ms. Hadid faced criticism for issues not normally pushed onto a male architect. She was approached and questioned about working conditions on a jobsite in Qatar. Her position caused a media stir, add an exaggeration of facts, a settlement, and the settlement was donated by Ms. Hadid to a labor rights group. Ms. Hadid died of a heart attack in 2016 in Miami, Florida. She left some 36 projects unfinished at the time of her death. I find Ms. Hadid’s many contributions to be amazing. Knowing that she did these accomplishments back in the 1970’s while being a woman in the Middle East makes these accomplishments even more rich in reward to witness.

My second woman plumbing contractor, the first woman to earn her master plumbers license in 1951 at the age of 21 years old, was the late Lillian Ann Baumbach-Jacobs, of Arlington, VA. Newspaper accounts during the time she earned her license referred to her as “pretty”. Ms. Baumbach-Jacobs became the pen pal for over 250 soldiers serving over in Korea. She became a pin up girl that served as a distraction for the infantry during the war. Ms. Baumbach-Jacobs was born in 1930 and married an auto mechanic, and raised two daughters. Ms. Baumbach-Jacobs appeared on a variety of different tv shows, a radio broadcast, and wrote a magazine article entitled, Helpful Plumbing Hints for Housewives. The family has a website with articles in her honor. Go check out the website at: http://www.baumbach.com/Default.htm to check out her legacy. Prior to being married, she was known as Miss Baumbach. Miss Baumbach’s first knack for plumbing came as a toddler when she fixed a stopped drain. Miss Baumbach-Jacobs came from an entire family who owned the W.J. Baumbach plumbing business. It appears that she was raised and taught how to work as a plumber like her family did. Just as I was as a kid, Miss Baumbach was her dad’s shadow and learned by watching her father. She didn’t grow up in a family culture where her growth was hampered. Ms. Baumbach-Jacobs passed away of leukemia at the age of 70 years old in 2000. Lillian indeed, while not fully realizing it at the time, made a mark for women’s history as a fellow trail blazer. Her family must be proud of her legacy.

My third woman trail blazer is welder Solveig Erikstad who started her career in 1974 until her retirement in 2003. Ms. Erikstad was allured to an ad in a newspaper, geared for housewives, that offered free kindergarten for a free welding course. This opportunity for school and work was part time so it worked out with her schedule with school aged children. Ms. Erikstad was 34-years old at the time and a mother of two children. Ms. Erikstad started an on the job apprenticeship with eleven other ladies at approximately $2 USD per hour. While many of her male peers were welcoming and helpful, some male peers were skeptical of the women in the work crew. Some women left the crew and was replaced by a round of fresh female faces. After a year, Ms. Erikstad received her certificate in electrode welding. She later learned how to do gas welding and that was a totally different learning experience. Nowadays, gas welding is the industry standard. Ms. Erikstad learned how to weld ship hulls and she didn’t have a fear of heights so that was helpful. I cannot seem to find any further data on the current whereabouts of Ms. Erikstad. If she is still enjoying her retirement, she would be turning 81-years old this year. If anyone knows her, let me know. Here is another example of a woman who became a trail blazer just by responding to an ad and completing the program. She leaves her mark in women’s history as well.

In conclusion, I learned about three women, only new to me, in construction. I can add them to my mental rolodex if the discussion ever comes up on the topic. After I had started researching and writing, I realized that this is Women’s History Month. I just happen to be showcasing some ladies who were well ahead of my era in the construction industry. After reading the stories of the above ladies, my female construction contribution is not the first nor will be the last. I definitely do not consider myself a pioneer at all. I am merely chasing a career choice I made while taking an ASVAB military test when I was 16 years old. The beauty of the internet is that I can write down the legacy of myself and other ladies. Someday, our children and great grandchildren can reference these writings as our own little chunk of the legacy of women’s history. What more can you ask for?

Perhaps I will dig for more other women who were the firsts in different arenas of construction. I will have to do my research to find some interesting historic women. I know I want to check out the women during the Rosie The Riveter era. That will be my next showcase during Women’s History Month in March. Thanks for stopping by!

Cheers!

hi everyone!

I am working on releasing Episode 4: Testing Alcoholic Drinks very soon. I recently released Episode 3: Gorilla Glue Woman where we talked about the viral sensation Tessica Brown who used Gorilla Glue on her hair in a pinch. She realized that it had disastrous consequences!! Episode 1: Lot Lizard is the episode where we discuss the Amazon Prime Video documentary on truck stop prostitutes throughout the United States. Melissa and I discuss the women who are the main characters in the documentary. I typically work on editing the transcript before I release the podcast episode. I believe that it is a good practice to include the transcript to help hearing impaired people as well as global listeners where English is not their first language.

In Episode 4, we had tested four types of alcohol. I had picked up these shot glasses made out of two types of cookie material. I bought them online at http://www.dirtycookie.com. My objective for buying them was to celebrate my goal of passing a series of safety exams. Yes, I expect them to not last very long. However, I totally didn’t expect them to immediately piss out the bottom of the shot glass! On the good side, it did make it a humorous podcast episode!! 😛

For our first shot, we used New Amsterdam Pink Whitney Vodka. This is the shot that we struggled to try because it disappeared out the bottom of our cookie shot glass and onto the table as soon as we poured it. We even had to stop recording then re-start after we cleaned up the mess. It is sweet in nature and tastes like pink lemonade. The loss of the shot onto the table was disappointing yet humorous.

Our second shot is called Wicked Pickle. I find it humorous how we had such strong reactions this choice in a simultaneous manner! I would describe the experience as a spicy pickle with a very strong taste. However, the experience was both parts powerful and revolting! I am not typically the drinker who leaves an alcoholic beverage unfinished. I made the exception for Wicked Pickle. That drink did a deep dumpster dive with the majority of it’s contents still in the bottle. Melissa drank even less than I did. I am not a fan of alcohol abuse. I didn’t even have the heart to trash the remains of the whiskey. Melissa was strong enough for the two of us and did a perfect slam dunk in the garbage hard enough for the both of us!

Thank goodness our next sample was sweeter on the pallet. I don’t think either of us could handle another revolting pickle shot! For our next contestant, we chose Revel Stoke Peanut Butter Flavored Whiskey. In all fairness, my appeal for peanut butter whiskey is skewed. I tend to pick up Screwball peanut butter whiskey. That brand is super smooth as silk with a powerful alcohol content of 70 proof. My taste buds were so delighted to accept the remnants of the small airplane bottle of sweetness! It had a distinct flavor of peanut butter that welcomed a sweet sensation in addition. We went back and forth determining which one was our favorite, so far. I guess you have to check out the podcast to find out which one was the Oscars of the taste buds. 😛

For our last shot, it was from a much larger sized bottle. I was totally counting on it tasting good. For our last sample, we tried Bird Dog Blackberry Flavored Whiskey. It was just as sweet as Revel Stoke. It had a smooth delivery. It even had a strong blackberry flavor. It also reminded you, with a strong booze aftertaste, that it was a whiskey. Melissa and I continued to sip on the bottle long after the podcast wrapped up. We even have some leftovers for another relaxing occasion. We have some Ole Smokey Tennessee Moonshine cocktails to sample at another time. Stay tuned for that episode coming to you real soon. Check our our podcast for the overall experience of the chosen alcoholic drink samples. I just edited the transcript for Episode 4 so it is being released some time tonight.

As always, you have many choices to check out all over the world. I thank you for stopping by my page to check out my content. As always, be dry, warm, and safe. More podcasts episodes are coming to you real soon!

Cheers!
