If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I take Zyrtec, which, now that it’s over the counter, costs a dollar a pill. Before that, it cost three. So, in my frenzied saving for a down payment on a house, I decided to stop taking it. The […]

One of the difficulties in starting a new business is getting working capital. If
small business loans are something that you are researching, you should know that you can obtain one in only one to three weeks at EZUnsecured. No collateral is necessary, and approval only takes one to three days. A great advantage of […]

I have a colleague whose partner just died from cancer. It sucks on so many levels, one of which is that they’ve been together like 25 years and since my colleague is an lesbian in this little town, she can’t grieve as openly as she could if it had been a husband who had died. […]

The last time I moved, it was an awful experience. I rented a truck at the last minute, and got a couple of guys from the day labor place to help me. Besides just being generally incompetent, they broke my dryer and stole my son’s allowance from his drawer. Next time, things are going to […]

I just have to complain. I’ve been trying to have healthier things in the house for Sage and I to eat. Good grief it’s expensive! We stopped by the HFS, and it was $20 for some almond butter and a couple of snacks that Sage wanted. But the thing that really gets […]

If anyone else out there also teaches geography, I’ve just found a great site! It’s My Wonderful World, and it has scads of information and links, including a very interesting blogroll. I found it over at Planet Nomad, whose author has actually been to Mauritania, which strangely enough, is something that G. and I disagreed […]

Today in class we talked about the presidential race. The kids were just beyond apathetic, as in, “Why do we have to learn about this stuff”, except for a couple who are pretty pro Obama. However, as we started talking about the different candidates and their platforms, they became more interested. Then the inevitable question […]

Man, I am going crazy! Just when I think I’ve decided on a course of action, a situation comes up. Sage told me about a whole bunch of bullying behaviors that he is experiencing today. Of course I immediately emailed his teachers, but I just really hate to hear it. I know that bullying is […]
