I know the housing market is bad all over the United States. Here in the Tampa area, though, I had seen a good bit of movement when it came to some of the more desirable townhome communities I have been keeping my eye on for the past year. Lately, I am seeing the same units […]

For years my mother, my sister, and I have sat around at various times and debated the whole burial vs. cremation issue. We talk about religious implications, economic points, personal preference, and even the option of green burial (Florida does have one green cemetery up in the Panhandle).
We completely overlooked one option, apparently. It turns […]

I really need to start doing my research about the political issues that will drive the presidential race this year. I cannot just listen to the candidates to glean my information. I know they are always going to present things with a certain twist.
I heard John McCain on the Glen Beck program yesterday, I think, […]

Today I did my friend a favor and picked up two of her children after school to take them to their bowling league thing. It’s the last day of the program for this school year and they had trophy day and free food and a cake. It was a madhouse, but according to […]

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.

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 […]

I like to roll my eyes. I roll my eyes at a lot of things, and a lot of people. I suppose it just comes down to the sheer amount of ridiculousness that I have to encounter on a daily basis. Take, for instance, that one of the “houseguests” on Big Brother 9 is a […]

When human bones were found near Tampa this week at a construction site, the first thing police thought was this could be a potential crime scene.
It turns out that archaeologists determined say the bones are more than 100 years old. The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner’s Office and state archaeologists will take over to better determine […]

I could go on for pages about what I think of men who pay for sex, cheat on their wives, and think they deserve to use tax-payer money to have illicit sex in Washington hotel rooms. But, I will save that for the thousands of other indignant bloggers out there – and there indeed thousands.
