Camping in the yard

Because the last few weekends have been pretty crappy and we  haven’t been able to go camping much this season my husband has decided to put up the trailer in our yard and let the kids camp out in it tonight.  He will be with them since he doesn’t have to work tomorrow.  He asked […]

Watching TV

Why is it that when a person sits down to watch a family show on TV, the writers of the shows need to throw in some gross scenes like throwing up, tons of blood or a colon cleanser scene? If it’s a family show, don’t you think that they could produce it a little […]

My memory is not the greatest

I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older or what, but I certainly don’t have a great memory like I did years ago. I’ve never had a great long term memory, but my short term memory used to be pretty adequate. Now I find myself re-thinking everything. I realize that as […]

High cost of living

Why is it that when a person goes to purchase something important like term life insurance the prices are so outrageous that you almost have second thoughts about making this commitment. I am a firm believer in life insurance and having yourself covered, but what good is coverage if you can’t afford to pay […]

I’m not a violent person. But…

I’ve got to tell you all that I’m getting pretty fed up with my neighbor! This was what happened over the weekend and I honestly think that it was totally unacceptable. Please let me know what you all think.
On Friday night my two young kids (ages 7 and 9) were outside playing with […]

Massive car accident

Last night I was listening to the radio and heard about a 12 car pile up on one of the highways in our province. By what I could tell, there were no fatalities, but a lot of people were seriously injured. I think the Chicago personal injury lawyers are going to be very […]

Camping in style

Finally after a year of looking my husband made a decision about purchasing a new camping trailer. The one we have right now is fine for camping, it’s just that it’s quite old. So on Monday my husband and my youngest son went to the RV dealer and purchased a brand new 2008 […]
