The Agenda, It Is A-Changing … Again
I know this is nothing earth-shaking to you, but I take the agenda here at RJsCorner quite seriously. It is the roadmap for the many words I put here. I’m sure, to you, it has about as much significance as … Continue reading The Agenda, It Is A-Changing … Again
It’s Time For A Re-Label…
I took a test years ago to determine where I am on the Intelligence Spectrum. That test gave me a number to know where I am on that spectrum. My number was 135. I didn’t think much of it at … Continue reading It’s Time For A Re-Label…
The Evolution of RJsCorner

RetComLife #17 – Other Choices In Food Services
One thing that annoys me is that the sit-down dining option which is basically the only option aside from after the meal carry-outs in my retirement community wastes too much of my time. Having a full-service sit down dining is … Continue reading RetComLife #17 – Other Choices In Food Services

RetComLife #16 – Cloud Kitchens & Café Dining
My retirement community is struggling to keep the dining services up to their usual standards. Wait staff is nearly impossible to find during this pandemic, so the salaried staff are having to provide that service in addition to their usual responsibilities. That is putting stress on everyone. The fact that the meals here cater almost exclusively to those who like bland unseasoned foods is a serious minus for many of us! Today’s Featured Entrée here is beef enchiladas, and they clearly state (not spicy). For someone like me, who enjoys a wide variety of tastes and seasoning, that is very … Continue reading RetComLife #16 – Cloud Kitchens & Café Dining
