  • To Create, Assist, and Educate

    What is your mission?

    My life changed for the better once I was formally diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder. I am odd, shy, cope with depression and anxiety, struggle with formal education, have unusual special interests, and I have various quirks, but there was a reason that wasn’t of my doing. Because of that, I became more of an advocate for autism. There’s pros and cons to being neurodiverse, and I try to focus more on the positives, and give insight about the negatives.

    I tend to be pendatic, but maybe some people’s eyes glaze over when I am. But sometimes I do reach people if I explain things in simple language, or they are curious about a topic. I have some experience as a tutor, and sometimes give instructions or advice.

    I always wanted to be an inventor or innovator, write a book, and live a comfortable middle class lifestyle. I dabble in various hobbies (including this blog). But seeing that there’s a polycrisis in recent years, I think I have to help others survive the 21st century and beyond.

    I went to college to study journalism, technical writing, and an information technology related field, so my idea to create the HETTY blog that combines my various skills, experiences,.and interests in a series of articles. Some of the articles are food service related, since I was a cook for years, and I struggled financially much of my life. Some articles.are science and technology related, since I’m pro science.

    I’m still figuring things out, but in simple terms, I want to create, educate, and assist others as I can. This century is looking very challenging in several ways.

  • Nope, not for me

    What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

    There’s that famous quote from Woody Allen, which I will paraphrase, “You can live to be 100, if you give up all of the things that make you want to live to be 100.” That aligns with my own philosophy.

    I would argue that longevity is causing more problems than it solves, although there are some exceptions with some individuals. Like there’s some centenarian individuals still working, still in decent health, still active, and have a good mindset. They seem to be uncommon among the elderly though. There’s various ailments associated with advanced age, including dementia and cancer.

    I smoke, drink, eat the less healthy food at times, and don’t exercise as much as I should. And I’m coping with serious existential problems, along with millions of others. I’m already world weary. I’ll probably make it to my 70s or possibly 80s, and I’m fine with that. Any longer, I may become more reckless with my health, like eat Fugu Sushi or dance badly in traffic.

  • College instead of Military

    What could you do differently?

    This is the choice I had as a senior in high school back in 1991, about to graduate and make my own way in the world. My dad died when I was 11, so my mother worked a lot trying to support my 2 brothers and I. Since it was a struggle to support the family on a single income, my mother gave me the choice of either joining the military, where I could learn a job skill or several through apprenticeships, or stay with my mom and brothers, and go to college for a formal education while she paid for my tuition and books. Maybe I could work a job to help with the fees.

    I had my reasons to join the military after high school graduation, one of them being that I didn’t want to burden my mother with the extra expenses of school. Learning a job skill, seeing the world, maybe toughening up some since I was a gawky nerd while in public school. I was very green, naive, and sheltered. But I would qualify for the Montgomery GI Bill, if I joined the military. I could go to college later, if I chose so. (I did, 10 years later.)

    Was the Air Force a good experience? Yes, and no. I met some good people, did go to different parts of the US and some other countries, learned how to be a professional military cook and basic service specialist, learned some military culture and lingo, and didn’t screw up so much that I was able to get an honorable discharge after 2 terms of service. It was sometimes stressful, sometimes loud enough that I developed tinnitus from the noise of war machinery, and I had to cope with the politics (workplace and geopolitical). I also developed habits like smoking and the occasional binge drinking, and I became more jaded and vigilant. I wasn’t burned out yet, but I lost a spark I had at 18.

    I started to go college when I was 27, sometimes older than the other students. While I did study and did well enough in some courses, there was some other courses I couldn’t keep up with, or in some cases was completely lost. Astrophysics 2 showed that I’m terrible in advanced math, and intermediate algebra seems to be my limit.

    I got so burnt out from reading college textbooks that I don’t have the attention span for reading books anymore. I’ll read online summaries or specific quotes or facts about a topic instead. I ended up dropping out of getting a bachelors degree partly cuz my grades weren’t good enough (with autistic spikes), and I couldn’t afford to finish college.

    So why would I chose college over the military after highschool? Money, time, and energy. I was more energetic, healthy, and idealistic at 17-18 years old than I was at 27-28, college was cheaper (yet still costly), and I would spend more time with my family. I would probably have a better formal education than I do now, maybe working as an engineer or professional writer. I also probably wouldn’t have developed the wanderlust I have for travel if I just stayed in my hometown, instead of the 7 countries I was able to visit while in the military.

    I’m not sure if it was a better choice, but maybe I would have chosen a different fork in the road knowing what I know now.

  • My first job

    Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.

    I don’t remember the details of my first job, so the answer will be a little vague. But my first job was as a pickup delivery person at JC Penney, a department store built into a shopping mall in Milwaukee. My mother was a sales representative in the Jewelry department, and she talked to management about hiring me. It was my first part time job at 16, while I was still in high school.

    I don’t remember how much I was paid for the work, but I imagine that it was minimum wage back in 1989. I remember that there was a pickup area in the backroom warehouse, where large items that were paid for in the store departments were pulled from stock based on the product code, taken to the pickup point in the back of the mall, and put in customers vehicles. Furniture, home decor, boxed items, maybe even large boxed toys at times.

    I did remember that I had to wear slacks, a dress shirt, and tie for the backroom stock area. I would do mess cleanup, trash disposal, and some product stocking at times, but the job was mostly pulling and preparing stock at that pickup point.

    I do remember being in a decent mood after working that 5pm to 9pm shift, being excited about my first job. Not tired, and upbeat when the first shift was done and my mother picked me up from work. And I remember having a crush on a blond sales representative working in the children’s clothes department. I admired her from afar, and I was too shy to even ask her name even after several months.

    So that’s the vague story of my first job.

  • I aspire to be a creative visionary.

    Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.

    I admire creative and intelligent people, and have for a long time. I read of Leonardo, and then later in life Nikolai Tesla and Steve Jobs. I don’t know if I’m that smart, but I do have some skills.

    My main gift is cooking, since I was paid for that for several years. I can cook several good meals and bake several desserts from memory. I have some writing talent (therefore a blog and online writing), but I also have an interest in advanced technology like robotics, 3D printing, and quantum computing. I have bought robot several kits and sets over the years, and even built some of my own unique designs. I sometimes come up with some good ideas for devices or apps, but realizing them is an ongoing issue.

    I dabble in drawing, cosplay, painting and music, but I admit that work is less than impressive. But I still aspire to make something that will improve life for millions of people. Maybe I’m punching above my weight, but I still think being creative is a worthy goal.

    I have listed the money transfer apps that I used before, but it appears that WordPress/JetPack greyed out my transfer app IDs. Here they are again, hopefully not greyed out on this page:

    I “made” the HETTY blog website because I originally had the idea of writing a cookbook that focused on affordable meal recipes. I was gonna write it in a funny style, cuz I can be funny at times. Humor is one of my coping mechanisms. (It’s true!)

    However, there’s so many cookbooks out there, and I know how hard it can be to find a publisher who will take a chance on a fledging writer. I know there’s also a lot of competition between websites, but websites have lower overhead. I decided to also expand the scope of helping to relief poverty, cuz eating cheaper foods only helps so much. I write about housing, clothing, shelter, money saving life hacks, and affordable hobbies also.

    I’m relatively better off than some people in this world, because I live off a disability and veterans pension. That may change, because of the world-wide shift in politics and worldview. COVID changed everything, for better or worse. So there’s the possibility that I may have to work again. And based on my skillset, my labor value is more limited than others.

    In my working life, I mostly got paid for working food service and retail, although I did study Journalism, Technical Writing, Basic Human Services, and Computer Information Systems over the years. I’m handicapped by social anxiety, depression, and lack of personal transportation.

    I have a history of donating, volunteering, and helping people out with money over the years, despite my limited means. I would hope that others can be at least as generous and helpful as I have over the years. Donating a dollar or a quarter can make a difference over time.

    I don’t expect to get rich from making content for this blog (Although that sure would be sweet!), but I’m hoping to generate an income so I can help myself and others. I plan on writing about different topics over time, such as about future technology. Fusion technology, for example, promises great benefits to humanity. If that technology can ever be improved, other technology can possibly offshoot from it, like a true “Cornucopia machine” or even teleportation of larger objects.

    Anyways, enough of my spiel. Any donations to my money transfer apps would be appreciated. I hope that others find this information found in this blog website helpful. Thank you.
