What Do Doctors Know?
I've decide doctor's don't really know anything. Going to one for medical treatment is the equivalent to shooting craps. You go in, and if you problem is readily identifiable, and the odds are in your favor, you might actually get the proper treatment. On the other hand, if you go in suffering with...

It Was Bound To Happen
Actually, I can't believe it has taken so long. I know I can be a bit opinionated and have come close before, but it has finally happened. I have been kicked off my first message board! I finally pissed off the wrong person on the wrong day bad enough to be exiled. Fortunately, the Internet world is...

Paying for the Privilege
Have you ever noticed how often we pay for the privilege of being forced into listening to a sales pitch? Take for instance the movie theater. Once, the previews were preceded by movie trivia. Now we pay $8.50 for the right to sit and listen to commercials while we wait for the main feature. I have...

Have you ever had something to say until you sat down to write it and then all of a sudden, it just goes away? I've just spent the better part of five minutes staring at the screen trying to remember what great topic I came up with while cooking breakfast. Yes, believe it or not, I actually cooked...

The Polls Are Closed
The polls are closed and I came in #8 out of a list of a list of a whole bunch (more than 30 and less than 100). So, if you have a book that needs edited and your top 7 choices aren't available, you should consider me as your next options because I am apparently the 8th best editor on the planet....

Tax Time Gets Easier Every Year
Once upon a time, tax time was a time of dread, now I actually look forward to it. With the invention of TurboTax, Quicken, and filing online—not to mention my extra tax deductions—it takes me a couple of hours to file my taxes and I get money back. While I like getting money back—this year the...

The House Is Back
The house that is alive in my dreams revisited me last night. There were pros and cons with this dream. The house was still huge, filled with wonderful woodwork. There was a lot more light throughout the house. The second floor still had a mostly open floor plan. The problem was it was not longer my...
