If you go online or watch TV or pick up a newspaper you will see that this is a great weekend to “honor America” by purchasing a new mattress. … Read more »
In the last couple weeks one of the biggest issue dividing people on social media and about everywhere else is abortion.

Nobody can tell me……. What usually follows that? Something like “what to do with my body” or “what to do with my kids”.

In the right situations, outrage is the appropriate response. And then there are the many, many other things that no one should be outraged about, yet get angry over anyway. This happens… Read more »
Unless you were living under a rock, you know that the New England Patriots won their 6th Super Bowl last night. Like most, I was hoping for a LA Rams upset, but it was not to be. I was also hoping for a good halftime show, but I should have known better. So why were most fans of the literally… Read more »
I’m not going to take it anymore! As luck would have it, today is I’m Not Going to Take it Anymore Day. That fits in perfect with what’s on my mind so I see no choice but to run with it!
