Ways to save money at Christmas time seems like a topic appropriate to Ebenezer Scrooge and other such jolly folks (don’t you love the name ‘Scrooge’?) On the one hand, the economy in a tailspin, uncertainty is rampant and frankly, it’s only going to get worse. On the other hand, it’s our biggest holiday of […]

I have saved this life wisdom for quite some and have read it many times and it’s definitely worth sharing. It’s spiritual wisdom from Cherie Carter-Scott, and honestly I don’t know who she is but I am humbly grateful to her for sharing. This gift is called Ten Rules for Being Human. 1. You will […]

“We have the best anti wrinkle cream!” “Liar!

You’re standing in front of an audience, about to […]

Yes, the headline above is sort of tongue-in-cheek, but it’s just possible that smoking pot might be a boon to memory training!

Earlier this month, a study announced that coffee consumption on a regular basis might actually reduce the chances of heart disease. As a card-carrying Starbucks fanatic, crazed for its superior coffee, nutrition facts for coffee are always of keen interest. Anything to justify my daily latte, don’cha know.
