It looks like people aren’t happy with Rev. Tim Jones of England. He apparently told his congregation that it was okay for the poor to shoplift as long as it was from large chains and not small family owned businesses. Meaning I could steal from Walmart but not the corner store in my town. And [...]

How to Avoid Online Scams
I don’t know if it’s the economy and so many people are hoping for a miracle, but does it seem to you that there are more scams and scammers than ever? I read an article today about a scam called the “Fake Grandkid”. It seems to be a random phone call from Montreal that starts [...]
Waste Time Management
As I mentioned in an earlier post, my dad had prostate cancer. My mom called me today from the Mayo Clinic when he went in for surgery. She said it would be a five hour surgery and she had decided to wait at the hospital. Five hours is a long time to wait by yourself [...]
Thank God for Labor
My daughter asked me what Labor Day is, and since she’s only 5 I explained the best way possible. It’s a holiday to celebrate the American work force, the people that work…laborers. Of course, she didn’t understand any of that. Just that Mommy has the day off and she starts school tomorrow. And in the [...]
Benefits of Complaining
My mom sent me this link to an article titled, “Do You Complain Too Much?” and no, she wasn’t trying to tell me anything. But, yes I do complain too much. When I began reading the article I agreed with everything and even considered taking the “quit complaining challenge” like the writer and millions of [...]

What is Your Health Worth?
I haven’t researched or even gone over President Obama’s healthcare plan, I did notice a frequent tagline that read something to the effect of “healthcare for everyone”. Just that short phrase is enough to give me a little more hope. I’m neither for or against it, I don’t know enough about the plan to make [...]
How Much is a Quadrillion?
Read this article today and have to admit that I’m a little jealous. It was the article about the guy that was billed 23 quadrillion dollars on his credit card for a pack of cigarettes. I don’t even know why this is newsworthy since it’s obvious that he wasn’t going to be held responsible for [...]

Memories of Burger King Croissanwiches
I’m writing this post from work on my lunch break (of course) because I’ve been thinking all day about some of the things I cut from my budget. Of all of the unnecessary and frivolous things I’ve given up, I miss the morning croissants from Burger King the most. Sausage or bacon, I miss them [...]
