My grandfather called me in a panic one night. It was 11:30pm, and he was crying and said that he didn’t understand why my grandmother had not come home yet. The thing that was scary about that is that she died over 20 years ago. Nothing I said that night helped him to believe me [...]

In a former life, I used to be a plumber. It was pretty good money, more money than I would have thought when I got into the profession. However, I had to give it up after I began to develop arthritis in my hands. A plumber with arthritic hands is a rather useless individual, at [...]

I usually buy the generic versions of medication when I need them. The name brand varieties can often be too much for me to afford. The generic versions work just as well as the more expensive stuff, so I see no reason to pay more for the medication if I don’t have to do it. [...]

When I took a new position in charge of the school system’s audio visual department in the Midwest, I knew I needed to look for an av system design immediately. The department was a mess.

The marketing tactics of the past don’t really have the same weight as they used to in the days before the existence of the Internet. Exposure to the Internet has decreased the level of patience that customers have, because they want to have everything as quickly as possible. The longer a potential customer has to [...]

What do you get for someone who already has everything they could possibly want? Well, I don’t know if anyone truly has everything they could want, but I know quite a few people who really do not want for very much at all. My parents are two examples of this type of person, which makes [...]

Moving to Texas came with a very real surprise. Texas electricity rates are far better than they are in most of the country, a fact that would have had me moving down south had I been informed sooner! I’ve been doing everything that I can possibly do to save money as of late and moving [...]

I have to say that it is real hot down here, and I am not just saying that. In fact that is not something you could mistake about. I got down to El Paso this morning and I had the air conditioning wide open on the pick up truck all morning. I guess that it [...]

After thinking about it for years, I have finally decided to pamper myself, and my family a bit, and buy a vacation home located in Hawaii. It is not the most practical place that I could have bought a vacation house, but it is definitely where I wanted to have a vacation house. Ever since [...]

I was ecstatic when my fiance proposed to me a few months ago. Out of all the people that I have dated, he is the one that feels like “home” to me. He treats me with respect and supports me in so many ways that other people haven’t. I originally planned on having a small [...]
