My name is Linette. I am a recent college graduate with an Associate’s Degree in Applied Science, a certified medical assistant (AAMA), a mother, a wife, and
a somewhat silly person. I am actively fighting dementia by continuing my education in as many ways possible.
I live in Benzie County is the smallest county in Michigan, and I am proud to
hang my hat here. It’s a beautiful place. You will just have to come and see.
I
am half southern and half northern by parentage, and Heinz fifty-seven by
lineage. I am nosy and curious. My reading list includes children’s books,
biographies, science fiction, romances, murder mysteries, Archie Comics, and
more, and I will happily tell you about my favorite books in depth.
Why "Persiflage"?
The name of my blog, persiflage, means "frivolous bantering talk : light raillery"according to Mirriam Webster. I seem to remember learning the word from Mammy Yokum (L'il Abner) or Loweezy Smith (Snuffy Smith). The word caught my fancy, anyway, and seems to be a perfect fit for what I would like to accomplish here.
My goal is to share good basic information
about health, wellness, life and death, and inappropriate songs to sing at work.
While I was attending college, I
was surprised at the amount of basic knowledge I did not have. I figure, if I
didn’t know some of this, there may be other people who didn’t either, and who
would benefit from knowing: Things like why blood pressure is so important and
how to plan for funerals and what is good cholesterol? As for the inappropriate songs part, music is such a huge part of life that it is natural to include it. Besides, hasn't everyone had a song firmly wedged in their head, or commercial jingles? Doesn't everyone wish that life came with a soundtrack?
And so, it begins. I aim to post twice a week. I hope it benefits you all.
