Sunday, January 8, 2006There were a few close guesses for the year and the amount of the firstminimum wage. Actually, I was impressed that people knew it was 25 cents! However, the year was 1938. Hmmm, what can we buy today for 25 cents? A candy bar? No. A notebook? No. Token? No. Soda? Actually, outside some Walmarts, the dispensing machine does have a 25 cent sign on it. Anyway, you get...

My youngest daughter began to spout some of these facts. She had read one of my articles and retained most of the information...

That way no one has to work any extra days but me! I don't mind working when it's writing! The only thing is that I am kind of nervous about breaking that watch if I ever do find one! Last night I did manage to write 3 articles. Spent... Sign in to see full entry.Wednesday, January 4, 2006I need about 3 more days in my week. How about you?I wish there were longer weeks and longer days. I have too much to do and wonder why some of this wasn't available to me when I was younger and had too much time on my hands. My youngest dughter says my new choice of career isn't going to be a healthy one for me. She says that I am too addicted to...

Perhaps the pay is good? Perhaps it isn't. Perhaps the benefits are wonderful? Perhaps they aren't. Perhaps it is simply a case of bills to pay. Whatever it is, I wonder what the bills are like in the next life, because they...

I was on in the am and I was on in the pm. If I wasn't writing, I was reading. Now, my time on the computer is being overrun by my need to write something that can sell-anything that can...

Perhaps, the fact that I didn't write anything for my one avenue of success had something to do with it. The stuff that I did write wasn't turned down, it simply wasn't requested. Makes a big...

Now isn't that typical. Yet I find it annoying that on a website where everyone is supposed to have equal opportunity, someone is out there,...

I love my sweets and Christmas cookies are definately on the list. Some things never change though...the types of cookies that I make, the people who help,the kind of help that I receive when I ask for help (sure I will help. I'll...

Seems as though hubby's employer became confused and gave his workers a dvd of religious nature for a Thanksgiving bonus, when he meant to give it to them at Christmas time. Huh? Yep, that's what I said too. The boss claims to have confused the two holidays... Sign in to see full entry. |
