Good afternoon from pleasant, sunny Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's 74 F right now with almost no breeze. Today has been a good day. I'm thankful to my neighbor. She took me to the YW so I could get my hat I left there on...

Good morning,! There's something about that first sip of steaming hot coffee that sets the tone for the rest of my day. It's like a warm hug from the inside out, instantly boosting my mood and energy levels. As I take few sips, I...

Earlier this week, I was eating at a restaurant, and quite frankly I was a little dehydrated from being out in the Florida heat all day. So when the waitress asked me what I wanted to drink, I immediately said tequila. Just...

If you have followed me at all, I was in sales for the last 10 years of my career, and before that I did pest control as a technician with a sales element to it. I made top sales one year. Of course, when the pest guy came over...

Oh, how annoying it is when the power goes out. Not sure what happened. We didn't have any storms last night or anything. Perhaps a squirrel got fried on a transformer? It's a possibility. Nonetheless, we noticed around 130am the...

MARILYN The worse sound is when everything goes off and it's dead silence. The best is when it all comes back on and those clocks blink, etc. I agree wholeheartedly that being without power is more than difficult these days. Glad your power came back on. It's really...

Jo Ann @porwest I wish they had just gone with the Rainbow Bridge. Most people love someone up there. In the freezer is a cruel thing to tell kids about Rudolph.

NJ Chicaa @porwest I've worked for this school district for 23 years. I'm not an expert on union things though I am a member and pay my dues each check. From what I have been told teachers in NJ can't strike. Years ago someone said that we could and just didn't have...

NJ Chicaa I don't know about other states but it is illegal for teachers to strike in NJ. Our union does job actions to demonstrate to admin that we are unified but there hasn't been a strike in the 23 years that I've worked here.
