My friend Todd Durkin shared this with me a couple of days ago. He read it somewhere and shared it with his “tribe” and I wanted to share with mine!
This New Year gives us the gift of more than 525,600 minutes. Many of us say we “don’t have enough time”, but for this next...

Somebody sent this to me in an email today and I wanted to share it.

I just read today that the number one holiday cooking headache is synchronizing the meal so that all dishes are ready at the same time.
I absolutely love cooking Thanksgiving dinner and being a passionate and creative home cook I have never had any problems with that but I do love to hear the stories...

Email Etiquette
Here is the thing about those tons of forwarded emails that we all get from well intentioned family, friends or co-workers. They are annoying. They are messy because of all the forwarding. Some of them are entirely inappropriate or politically or sexually charged. If you are forwarding...

I woke up this morning and had one of those “You have GOT to be kidding!” moments when I realized that Thanksgiving is just days away and Christmas is right around the bend. Time is short for a lot of people and given all that is going on with our economy, money is probably tight, but who...

We, the taxpayers, pay for NPR!
Juan Williams was fired from NPR for saying what people candidly think. Frankly, I am SICK of political correctness. Do I agree with Mr. Williams? Almost never. Do I believe that he has the right to say what he thinks? In the words of Sara Palin, “You betcha!”!

So far today it has been a bear of a day and it is only 9 am. I woke up at four and have been waging a mighty battle with an incredibly slow internet connection for hours. I guess there were other tasks that could have been undertaken, but vacuuming at 4:30 is bound to raise the ire of the other occupant...

I have been seeing a lot of anguished postings on Facebook today about Facebook places so went on a hunt for information to share.
Facebook Places, like existing location-based apps, uses GPS so people can “check in” on their mobile phones, letting friends know where they are and what they’re...
