Life in Reality

Last year when I broke my ankle while away on a trip, I was so lucky to have travel insurance.  I actually missed my flight by an entire day.  You can’t just break a bone in a strange town where you know no one and just keep right on going. 
I had purchased the insurance [...]

While I agree it is important to stick with an overall theme, very formal, semi formal, casual, you can also manage to have fun when you are planning even the most straight-laced, turned up collar of all celebrations.  Try to remember that, your wedding is a celebration, not something that you have to look at [...]

It was the fall of 1992.  I had graduated from College in the Winter of 1991 and was teaching at my first job.  I was recently divorced and had rejoined 2 of my of high school buddies for a summer of endless parties.  We
capped off that hot (and I mean it literally as in temperature [...]

I love my notebook computer.  There is absolutely nothing as convenient as tucking it under my arm like you might stick a small book there and hitting the big outdoors.  It’s easy to haul in a doctor’s office or in a fast food restaurant and let work without feeling like you have wasted all your [...]

Generally I don’t look at myself as a business person and sales are definitely not high on my skill’s list.  So, what in the world would I know about a franchise opportunity?  I can give you several examples.

Yes, I’m on that subject, the one that everyone is so afraid to bring up.  Since I just had surgery on my mouth, I’m on strict orders not to chew for 4 to 6 weeks.  So, one would think that would make it pretty doggone easy to lose weight.  And, well it may but to [...]

I have suffered from insomnia for many many years.  That goes back as far as I can remember.  I was even a  habitual insomniac as far back as the age of 8.  I remember lying in bed at night, wide awake, never knowing when or if I would sleep that night.  I know that it [...]

I’m one of the lucky ones who currently has health insurance.  There has been time in my life when I didn’t have insurance and couldn’t afford it either.  I spent many years scraping for the medical care that I needed.  Considering i have diabetes and a thyroid condition, it sometimes got expensive. 
The choices for [...]

It’s been 10 years since I first found people in the box that I was frequenting for my job.  First it was email, then I found out I could chat with people on various topics that interest me and not just find groups of people out there who were online working. 
And then, I found [...]
