  • Happy Bastille Day July 14

    By Andrea E. Menzies

         Happy Bastille Day holiday to France. I was traveling in France for the first Bastille Day I saw as a kid. It is also celebrated in New Orleans, Louisiana in the USA as it was originally a French colony. Many people still speak French in the area.

  • Passing Grades

    Passing Grades

    By Andrea Menzies 07/13/26

         I just got the email I passed another class! I am taking a masters degree at night school, and passed three classes at the new school. I passed 2 classes at another school, but they were charging double the tuition I agreed to so I transferred. 5 classes in a masters degree program have been passed by me in 2025 and 2026. It is a stressful program, but filled with great information. I wish con-artist scumbags had not tried to destroy my ability to go to school when I first moved to Virginia. I would have loved to have gone back sooner. I am a lifelong learning fan.

  • Data Joke

    By Andrea Menzies 07/12/26

    I was just joking with people online “at least they are not building a data center next to my room” and oh no they are doing that now. I already greatly hate that my family got me to move to Virginia as I hate every square foot of the place in comparison to other towns I have lived in, and loud pollution pit would be a step in the worst direction for certain.

    Certificate Done

    By Andrea E. Menzies 07/06/26

    I just finished the Clinical Research Certification by CITI by University in Florida. The accredited 15 class vocational certificate was hard, but I understand medical science and statistics far better for healthcare. It even has a great link for reposting on LinkedIn.

  • Women Created Equal

    Women Created Equal

    By Andrea E. Menzies 7/06/26

    “All Men Are Created Equal” is a famous phrase from the Declaration of Independence signed July 4th of 1776. The document is the origin of the July 4th holiday. It has an iconic phrase declaring women unequal. I have returned to school this year, and ironically noticed for the first 200 years of American history women were refused the ability to go to universities at all. Men could easily say women were constantly stupid, drunk, or insane as an excuse to mentally and physically abuse them, and they had no way to prove the lies wrong. It constantly perpetuated cycles of abuse leaving women broke, abandoned, and alone without education. The 4th of July is a great holiday, but never forget it had a promise of freedom few people got to enjoy. In recent history lawmakers have tried to strip women of their rights, and it is important to remember the “good old days” were not always good. At the time of the Declaration of Independence women were not allowed an education in most places. Separate schools had to be created as women-only institutions as women were blamed when men could not control themselves at all in work and school.

  • Nursing Class

    Nursing Class

    By Andrea Menzies 07/03/26

    I just got confirmation I am enrolled in nursing healthcare classes for August of this year. The receipt was in my email today, and am now buying scrubs. I have been teaching for years, but I need to change to make more money. They keep saying in a couple more weeks they are going to make me a “real” teacher with benefits, and YEARS have passed with no real job. I have been applying, and trying to get interviewed. They won’t do it! Time to change to a more high demand job as I can’t wait forever.

    Fly high.

  • Wave Goodbye

    Wave Goodbye to the good old WordPress URL of https://frozenhistory7publishing.wordpress.com/ as my main webpage of Fh7publishing.com is down due to the URL being the new WordPress home for FH7publishing. Now instead of the page having a link to my blog, my blog will just BE at the URL. The page is down due to a webhosting site migration. Godaddy was the service I was using, but I have used WordPress longer in comparison to Godaddy, and their prices and service have become really bad. In contrast, WordPress hosting and email has become better and cheaper. Goodbye many online mirror pages, and hello more streamlined posting and e-mailing from the great JetPack app on my phone.

  • Got Badge

    Got Badge

    By Andrea Menzies

    I got my new badge from my teaching job this week. I have been asked by people why I quit my teaching job to do podcasting. The answer is I have not quit teaching! I currently work as a teacher, podcaster, author, and am going to Grad school at night where I have made A grades. However, the economy is so bad, and the cost of living is so horrible I am still broke. This may be the point that is confusing so many people. #costoflivingbad

    New badge as I am still a teacher.
