Home is Where Your Friends Are

Sometimes I contemplate not writing a blog.   I am sure at some point this will happen.   The reason being is, among the numerous reasons I had for resigning, one was that I grew tired of feeling like I was being beaten up by complete strangers as it related to my work.  This was a very minor [...]

Giving UPS a Second Chance

So, after a very nice woman at UPS left a comment on my blog post titled UPS Sucks, I was able to get the answers that I wanted, which was nice.   She connected me via email with someone who was able to not only answer my questions accurately, making sure my package arrived in Hawaii [...]

UPS Sucks

Remind me to never ever use UPS.   They suck.   I vow now to use FedEx from this point forward.   UPS has done the magnificent job of completely screwing up a shipment of $500 worth of medication for my mother who is on vacation with us and no one there can help me, or rectify the situation.  [...]

Featured in the Plain Dealer’s What Local Bloggers are Writing About

So, I just logged onto my blog account, and find that my blog was apparently quoted in the Plain Dealer’s October 5th post of “What Local Bloggers are saying about…the government bailout.”    Maybe I should be happy I made the list.   But, it kinda sucks that of course one of the posts I write in a [...]

If only some way, some how this could come to pass…
Dear Congress and Mr President:
I’m against the $85,000,000, 000.00 bailout of AIG. (That’s 85 BILLION DOLLARS). Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000, 000 to America in a “We [...]

Marketing to Mommy

Just got this in an email and found it interesting.     My own two cents are, when it comes to grocery shopping, why’s it so darned difficult to find healthy food for my kid???   I mean, a popsicle box will read “All Natural” and the first ingredients are water and fructose.   Sure, I guess fructose is [...]

Interesting Blogs About Work-Life Balance

I’ve been wanting to write about my thoughts on the following articles for about a week now, I’ve really been dwelling on this topic on several ocassions, particularly that half an hour three days a week I get to myself to think while driving to pick my son up from daycare or on my way into work.

Toys ‘R’ Us Thomas the Train Coupon Issue

Earlier this week I posted here about some Thomas the Train Coupons that were online.    One was for a free train, the other was for 20% off any train set over $29.99.
Now, I understand that the first coupon, for the free train, was a mistake.  It was only supposed to be for 4 particular trains [...]
