When They Violate the Do Not Call List

I think most people would agree that the National No Call Registry has done a phenomenal job of cutting down on the number of sales calls you get. I can think of a few notorious offenders, though. There was a travel agency in town that would call with a recorded sales message. In order to […]

Jimi Hendrix Sex Tape

In an era when it seems like every single celebrity has a sex tape floating around, now we can add Jimi Hendrix to the list. Well, allegedly.
Some of the sex tapes are met with enthusiasm by the public, like the ones starring Kim Kardahsian or Pamela Anderson. Some can barely sell a dozen copies, even […]

Cool Site: blog search

If anyone had asked you ten years ago if you Blog, what would you have said?
If you were even online at that time, you may have said you kept an online diary. They were slightly in vogue at the time, but we certainly did not bandy about the words “blog,” “blogger,” or “blogging.”

Pitiful Lives of the FLDS Girls

I have kept quiet about my opinion regarding the FLDS sect in Texas. Until now.
The latest headline reads: “Half of sect’s teen girls have been pregnant.”

Back to School as an Adult

I thought going back to school at my age to get certified to teach was a challenge. In all actuality, I made it through with flying colors and a nearly perfect GPA. There was a lot of stress, though, and a lot less time to spend with my daughter. She went through a lot of […]

Florida Gardens

I have been energized to get the outside gardens in shape lately. I am tired of the frequent weeding, so I have started putting down landscaping fabric and mulch in all of the gardens that line the house. I have the ones out front finished. I think that tomorrow I will be able to get […]

Pros and Cons of an Only Child

My daughter is going through a period of her life where she really wants a brother or a sister. She told me this week that she has an imaginary sister and an imaginary brother. I heard her playing with them several times this week.
It kind of breaks my heart. I would have wanted one more […]
