If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Science Daily has this article that basically says that people who are socially isolated are more likely to humanize their animals. I don’t agree with this at all. I’ve met some very sociable people who treat their pet like […]

Today, after everyone had finished their work, I let a few of the boys look at tattoos on the computer. (I am really hoping our nosy IT guys are too busy to look at my surfing habits right now.) I think tats are cool, and I acknowledge that the kids do too. It […]

My dentist put me right on his schedule and pulled out the tooth today. When I told other people that I was having a wisdom tooth pulled, they acted like it was a huge big deal.

I’m sure you’ve heard the news that the United States is the fattest country in the world. I personally contribute to this statistical nightmare. I’ve been thinking a lot about why we are so darn fat, and I’ve came to some conclusions.

It is weird, how one day you can feel like you’re the best teacher in the whole world, and then another day, feel like one of the worst. I suppose some of my kiddos didn’t have a good three-day weekend, because they weren’t in a very good mood today, and I wasn’t either, having gotten […]

If you find yourself in the position of not having
individual health insurance in the United States, you could be putting your finances, and maybe even your health at risk. That’s why it is so important to have health insurance if you can at all afford it. In the United States, our medical system seems to […]

Every day, Sage brings his work home from school and we do it for homework. He doesn’t do it in class because his mind is on other things, commonly referred to as “ADD”. He’s not having behavioral problems, we just have to do a lot of extra work. Another downside is that he sometimes feels […]

As the drama with my tooth is currently demonstrating, you never know when
payday loans might come in useful. Hopefully, you’ve got some savings, but if not, you can borrow against your paycheck so that you can, for example, get to the dentist in time. Who knows how many times payday loans have kept people […]
