The Cat That Wouldn't Leave
She came to us four-weeks-old. A shelter cat born a few hours before her mother died of a respiratory virus that was running rampant throughout the shelter. Margo, the shelter coordinator and head of the local Humane Society, hoped to save her and her two sisters by removing them from the infected...

Leaps and Bounds
Geez, I stop posting for a few weeks, come back and take a look at my account, and wow. I'm making more money staying away. True, about half of it is probably referrals from a link on my website, but the rest... Who is paying me to stay away? Or have you guys started a fund for my missing doggie? By...

When things go bad
Like the war isn't bad enough, fate has decided I need a few personal issues to screw with my life. So, here it goes: My dog, the one critter I can always depend on to love me no matter what escaped from the yard and has been gone for two days. It rained last night. I wonder if he found a warm place...

2/21/03 Entertainment Weekly
I make it a point not to read my husband's Entertainment Weekly. He reads it in the bathroom--how appropriate. But, this week, I was stuck in the car waiting for my son, again, with nothing to read but EW and the gas bill. I try never to look at my bills during daylight hours. There were two tidbits...

Surveys that Pay

Advertising, It's a Fine Line
No one enjoys the bombardment of ads in the physical world or the bits and bytes world of the internet. Unfortunately, ads are a necessary evil, especially online, where your competition is multiplied a thousand-fold. You build a website. It isn’t easy. You spend hours getting it just right, but...

Where Did All The Time Go?
It ocurred to me today that the days are getting shorter. When I worked out of the home all day, I did amazing things with a 24-hour period. I commuted 40-minutes each way, maintained the accounting for a multi-million dollar organization, handled the accounting for a chartible foundation, found...

Revenge is the Best Medicine
Over the ages, the act of revenge has gone from a sacred way of life to an act of which to be ashamed and avoid. I disagree. A little clean, honest, LEGAL revenge can be just the thing to help you forgive and forget at least some of the indiscretions whether imagined or real that have been committed...

Parenting Teens: The Future
In the future, parents won't send their teenagers off to summer camp or junior high. The states come up with a better plan. On a child's 12 1/2 birthday, Mom and Dad would help him pack his bag and take him to the local Adolescent Processing Center. I am not sure why they had to pack a bag, perhaps...
