Holy cow, I am getting irritated with the price of my medical plan going up while the overall benefits go down. I was paying less last year and all I had to cover were my co-pays. Now, not only do I pay more monthly, I pay a co-pay plus at least 10%. Right now I […]

If you make a promise, whether in writing or simply via the words that come out of your mouth, you need to be willing to settle in the end.
Back during the Civil War, the city of Tampa issued a promissory note to storekeeper Thomas Pugh Kennedy in exchange for ammunition and other supplies. The city […]

I already drive less now that gas prices are up. It is just not worth it to me to damage my budget in order to tool around town a little more. Additionally, we are buying far less when it comes to non-essential foods and entertainment products.
Get this: one gas station in the tiny town of […]

Bottled water seems to be as much as part of our society as the air we breath. You see people at the gym, kids at school, paparazzi photos of celebrities leaving drug rehabs, and little old ladies toting around plastic bottles of water with $1 minimum price tags.
I know there is a debate over whether […]

I do not do a whole lot of freelance design work lately. I have stopped actively soliciting business and my old clients are not doing as much printing and business development as they used to. One of these days, I may decide to take the time to build my business back up to a level […]

Things might be about to change in Florida.
A renewed push is on in Tallahassee to ramp up our existing driving laws in the state. And, I cannot say I am at all against the proposed changes. Even though legislators in Florida are historically reluctant to put too many restrictions on drivers here, at least one […]

I’m not a regular drinker. When I do drink alcohol, though, I want it to be high-quality, flavorful, and worth my time and money. Since I am not someone who drinks simply to get drunk, but rather for the enjoyment of the actual beverage, I am always looking for the best of the best: be […]

Somehow, I think that the news media could be more responsible in what they decide to report, and when and how. I could go on for pages as to how they could accomplish this, but I will start simply by saying that it is in the best interest of everyone to help keep some people […]

I love the new selling feature on the Design Diva Fabrics website. It’s got just enough “cool factor” to pull me in. It’s their “Vote Up Count Down” sale, which works like this: registered users of the website are invited to vote on their favorite fabrics (as many as you want to vote for, […]

I do not mean any headline in particular. I am just expounding on the idea that American Idol makes it into the headlines on sites like CNN. I am completely flabbergasted that in an era of war, recession, a pending election, and a disappearing middle class, that news organizations would give valuable headline real estate […]
