Way back in the 70’s, 80’s and even 90’s, we didn’t have nearly as many options for buying things or using things as we do today. It’s a “renaissance” or a “revolution” of sort for “choice or options”.

I’ve been busy the past few months remodeling my blog site — my little nest out here in the ether. It’s an ongoing work in progress — so excuse some of the messiness and dust. Plus I’ve got a new vehicle to fly me/us (me and my avatar persona) to destinations near and far, as I’ve mentioned before.

Calling all crock pots to duty — Now! I dusted mine off and used it this summer, but now I’m definitely going to crank it up and put it in high gear now that fall is moving in. (more…)

Education is the work that our children do to prepare them for their life’s work, but it’s getting more and more expensive these days (it gets worse in the college level). What is a family on a budget to do? But, expense aside — morals and values, overcrowding factors and a host of other issues have effected our school stystems.

Is is just me or does it seem like some of our manners are being thrown out the window? Have we become so numbed out that they don’t matter any more?

Yes, I’m seriously looking for the joy in work and whatever I do.
Unofficially, summer time will begin with Memorial Day holiday, and most people get the day off. Summer the carefree time — who wants to work? We complain about work, but the truth is it helps us grow. If I look at the good in what I do it makes the whole job just flow. (more…)
