A Daughter’s Denial

Out in the garage we have a lot of things left over from when my step-father was alive. There is a shower stool, walkers, a wheelchair, toilet sets, and other medical equipment that he used to help him get around better in his last years, when he was weak.
I have been trying to talk my […]

A Woman’s Thoughts on Aging

When I am living my life, day to day, I feel like I am still 18 or maybe 25. It is not until I take a very close look in the mirror that I rather feel my age.
I see one white hair on my head I need to pluck, as well as the two that […]

What People Search For Online

What do you go to the search engines to find most of the time?
How many of you would admit you are looking for porn, or nude pictures, or anything else equally as subversive?
I am willing to bet most of my readers would look me in the eye and say, “Who, me? Never!”
Well, I track the […]

Promote Your Website

I’ve said this several times in the past: web sites are not like brick and mortar stores. If you build a store in your home town, surely it will gain some patronage simply due to the fact that people see it, drive by, get curious, and stop to check it out when they have time. […]

Dress for Success

You never know who may have the locker right beside your child. Maybe it’s someone hiding pot in their locker, wearing revealing clothing. You worry and hope your own kid is smart enough to not be influenced by someone with lesser values.
But, how many of us even dream that their child might be attending school […]

Did I Mention I Need New Luggage?

OK, so maybe I do not NEED new luggage as much as I WANT new luggage. I am trying to figure out the dates for my trip with my daughter to go see my dad in DC. While I was moving things around in the garage after the infamous snake incident, I gathered my luggage […]

More Garage Upgrades

My brother-in-law installed some amazing shelving in the garage for me this weekend. Now there is sturdy, built-in shelving running all along one side of the garage and things like canning jars and cookie jars, tool boxes, old fans, cans of paint, and lawn equipment can be organized without having to be boxed up and […]

What Size Are the Women of America?

If you go to the mall, you will see endless stores selling clothes that go up to about size 14 for women. If you are in a larger mall, there might be two specialty stores that carry plus sizes. The same is true for the department stores. They have multiple categories of clothing for women […]
