The Time Has Come

 Yep, it is time to accept the fact that business as usual is not the way it used to be…nor will it be for a very long time.  So now we all have to learn to get along with a little less money, fewer luxuries, a bit more ambition, learning new things, and new ways [...]

Renovating Your Own Home

                                     Display the memories you have so proudly collected!
Lots of us have had to “make do” or change our plans for new homes over the last couple of years. With housing prices as low as they are right now, picking up a fixer upper can be done for a song! But don’t consider [...]

It Has Come to My Attention...

THE PITFALLS OF SHOPPING

 Window shopping is a form of masochism that I have never understood or practiced.  Unless you literally have money to burn, why would you purposefully go out and walk the malls and department stores for clothes that you haven’t got the money for, have no use for, no room in the closet for…or for that [...]

Attention Readers

I rarely print the posts and comments that I receive, but this one deserves more attention.  I cannot vouch for its accuracy, but  it  is definitely worth reading.  The comment was in response to an article I wrote about Four Loko, whose manufacturer has since changed the formula of their beverage to make it a milder [...]

Older Drivers are People Too

 Yes, I am one of those older citizens who lives alone and relies heavily on my car.  I am also guilty of driving a Buick LeSabre, one of the cars known to be preferred by the aging and decrepit. It irritates my sensibility and claws at my dignity to know that those drivers that are [...]

Readers, let’s talk!

The economy stinks, and it looks like it is going to be months, if not years before life gets any easier for us.  Anyone who was born during or just after WW II probably remembers how to live on next to nothing and with little or no credit.  But from the Baby Boomers on, this [...]

THE COMMUNICATION GAP

 

It saddens me to know that parents today have in many cases lost contact with their children.  Oh I don’t mean that they don’t see them, or hear from them, though in many cases that is also true.  For the most part, I believe that is caused by the fact that families usually do not [...]

Four Loko…The Buzz

  So tell me, Readers, have you been made aware of the controversy over Four Loko?  For those of you who (like me until a few days ago)  are unfamiliar with Four Loko, it is a malt beverage  which is high in caffeine and has an alcohol content that is equal to about three or four [...]

Mikasa Will Make Any Occasion Special

Christmas is almost here, and you should have your shopping just about done, right? Of course, there are always those few friends or relatives that you just don’t know what to buy for…or worse, the ones who seem to have everything already. Well calm down!  When I get into this pickle (just about on every [...]
