I don’t usually blog about products, but today I am. I have come across the most awesomest (is that a word?!) “tool”. The thingy is called The Original Bug Zapper by Zap Master. Have you ever seen those bug lamps people have out on their porches or decks? The kind that makes a zap/sizzle noise [...]

NEA is a nightmare!
As a new school teacher I was expected to join the National Education Association. I was young and naive, so I signed up and paid some very healthy dues to belong to this teacher’s union. After several years I started doing some research on the NEA…on my own. I didn’t just listen to what I [...]

Tim Horton’s AND Coldstone Creamery
I am in heaven! Well, as close as one can get to heaven while still being on earth. On the way to Wal-mart this evening, Scott and I were driving through Bellefontaine. I was minding my own business looking out the van window and pondering the deepest questions of life….when BLAM! There is was! A [...]

Who Is That Woman In The Mirror?
Okay. I admit it to the population at large. I do color my hair. My childhood blonde started going dark in college and I didn’t like it. (Nothing against you brunettes or redheads, just for me…I liked my blonde) It was around that time that Loreal and I became good buds. Well, last night I [...]

Well, that workout had been totally and utterly forgotten fallen by the wayside over the past couple [...]

I’ve Only Been Driving For 25 Years
My husband and I found out the other day that in order to get our Ohio drivers license we need to take a test. Not a driving test….but you know, answer the questions kind of a test. Oh, and not only that, but we found out that the tests are only given on certain days [...]

The Pledge
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO EVERYONE.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation under God, indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.
In 1892, 1923, 1924 and 1954 the American people demonstrated enough concern about the actual words in the Pledge to make some necessary changes. [...]
