I have been thinking a lot about the state of things in the United States, specifically the state of financial things. I read an article in the St. Petersburg Times today about a single-dad who shot himself recently here in the county. He was on disability (5 bad discs in his back and 2 hip […]
It happened right before I moved to the Tampa Bay area – little Sabrina Aisenberg disappeared from her crib. Her parents were long suspected to have had something to do with the 5-month-old being missing, but
Now, there may be a break in the case. Its 11 years later and a prison informant working with the […]
I could list the pros and cons of payday loans. I could point out that 2008 has seen such a rise in gas, food, and housing prices that salaries cannot keep pace. I could even go as far as to say that families living paycheck to paycheck sometimes see no other way to pay for […]
This is a fun and EASY recipe. I made it today with my five-year-old. It makes about six servings. I like to experiment with seasonings and when I tried it with a dash of cumin, it went over great at an office party.

I saw the movie Hancock tonight. I saw it three times tonight, in fact, but that is another story. What I wanted to talk about is the concept that two people who are essentially two halves of a whole are better off when they are not together.
I suppose it makes me think of my own […]
…and by “song”, I mean cheap (but, cheap in the GOOD way)!
I generally wear contact lenses, but I have two pairs of backup glasses at home as well. One of them is pretty old, because I LOVE the frames and for years now I have been unable to find frames I really love at a […]
Or, it’s all up to the dogs.
I saw an interesting headline today.
