Trudi’s Corner: Family History & Modern Technology
Recently, I was asked by a family member if I had any pictures or information about my sojourn to America. This is something I had given to a granddaughter sometime ago and a niece as well for a school project at those times. »
Trudi’s Corner
How many people read or pay attention to the business section in newspapers? How many pay attention to the Wall Street reports on television? I do read about certain companies or comments about a casino problem. Other than that, I really have no interest in any of it. »
Trudi’s Corner
I’m not usually at a loss when it comes to writing about certain subjects, and this is one of those times. I grew up in an average household, with parents who were supportive of my endeavors. They were not “phonies” and did the best to impress proper values in the family life. Today, I’m... »
Trudi’s Corner: The Golden Globes
Did everybody tune in to the Golden Globes show on Jan. 15? It’s the first time I ever stayed with this type of show all the way to the end. Monday morning, I read all the comments and heard the remarks about it from the so-called experts in their field. »
Trudi’s Corner: Noticing A Decline In Manners
I do believe, that many who may read this column, can tell that I’m from the “old school” when it comes to manners. Right now, I’m concerned when it comes to tellers in a bank. »
Trudi’s Corner
How many have a pet day of the week? It may seem to be a weird question, but my pet day is Saturday and I’m not referring to an animal. It’s the day that I do things by degrees, such as relaxing at breakfast, checking T.V. programs and debating what I expect to accomplish... »
Trudi’s Corner
I had expected at this time to write about things of Christmas past, but of course you must all know of the unbelievable fire on Newark Avenue on Wednesday, Dec. 21. Everyone kept saying it was on Route 27, but for the life of me I couldn’t place the location until it was mentioned... »
Trudi’s Corner: A Language Issue
How many took note of the diversity of languages and nationalities of the people in the various sections in New Jersey mentioned in the Star-Ledger recently? It’s a fascinating report on how people tend to migrate. »
Trudi’s Corner: Safety & Courtesy
It would seem, no matter how many warnings or laws are passed in reference to cell phone texting while driving, some people will continue to do as they please. Do these offenders think the laws are for everyone else but never them? »
Trudi’s Corner: “Too Soon Old And Too Late Smart”
Recently, there was an article in the Star-Ledger about the Bamberger Thanksgiving Day Parade. That I do remember, having gone with my children to see it. It has been a long time since I thought of it, and some good memories. Over the years, I had really expected to be able to attend the... »
Trudi’s Corner
It seems I’m a little behind at times with whatever I decide to write about. I’m sorry about that. Every day is a treasure, and in most instances I’m always on the go. »
Trudi’s Corner: Time Flies
How many times have you put things aside, and when you may need it, you can’t find it and draw a blank? It’s not a question of age, as I told someone at one point, because I believe everyone runs into situations such as this. »
Trudi’s Corner: Offering Thanks
Many thanks for the kind words sent my way in regards to my column, and to the people I meet. Do you think God is sending us a message about obvious happenings? The morality, this day and age and spread worldwide, leaves much to be desired. How you live your life is your decision. »
Trudi’s Corner: Odds & Ends
Have I told you, I normally pick up articles from the newspaper to write about? I pay attention to news reports and T.V. and also ads that come in the mail. Can I tell you, I’m so loaded with come-ons from definite ones, that I call them personally or by return mail, especially, when... »
Trudi’s Corner: Getting Through The Power Outages
Did I ever mention that sometimes I’m not sure what to write about? Let me clue you in, this is not one of them. Without question, the worst situation developed with that snow on Saturday, Oct. 29. »
Trudi’s Corner: Age & Attitude
How many enjoy the day off to go to Atlantic City? There are some, I’m sure, tell you it’s not their cup of tea, but I’m one who does enjoy it. Some will tell you they spend the bonus, enjoy a nice luncheon and walk the boardwalk, of course, when it’s a nice day.... »
Trudi’s Corner: Mailbox Annoyances
I really thought that I had finally gotten through to some organizations in regards to name labels. Well, it just doesn’t seem to be the case, because I’ve gotten any number addressed to my husband who’s been gone over 20 years. I do know for a fact that I’m not alone in that direction.... »

How many were fed up with the constant bally-hoo and repetition of Gov. Chris Christie being pushed for President? Now we have the answer. It is NO. »
Trudi’s Corner: Talking About Identity Theft
How many have had a problem with identity theft? Someone just told me it happened to him, and it’s totally tragic. This happened through a computer with charges made against his account that almost wiped him out. One was from Florida and one from China, would you believe? I have mentioned this previously –... »
Trudi’s Corner: Fashion Focus
How do I get started, when I see something that makes me so glad I’m not going in that direction? At this particular time, it’s in reference to an article in the paper about children’s fashions and parents falling in line with what’s being offered. It relates how parents, regardless of the financial situation,... »
