1. im just as scared at night except there's less hospitals around.  so i have an appreciation for the city because if someone broke in it wouldn't take an officer 30 m to get there

 

2.i like to wear colored jeans no matter where i go..so if this means falling in a swamp then i guess it will be all the more noticeable on my purple jeans

Did you know there are over 5 billion cell phone users in the United States?  Neither did I.  I can remember the days when we didn’t have cell phones.  No texting.  No internet at our fingertips.  Hell, no internet.  Communicating was a little slower, and it was more difficult to find your husband in the mall, but we survived.

Since the beginning of recorded history cave drawings show us humans dream about things that we grapple with in our waking lives. While our Neanderthal brothers and sisters dreamed of being driven from their caves by a slobbering T-rex, many modern humans dream about getting chased from their homes by a sinister lending institution. 

 

Since the recession began, 8.5 million jobs have been lost, an unemployment rate of 9.4%, (12.4% in my home…

Business. We all have it. And while everyone’s business is different based on their lifestyle, there are really only two kinds of business:



Number 1 – Personal business



Number 2 – Work-related business



Nowadays much of our business, be it number 1 or number 2 is conducted via cell phone. Communication is key and the invention of the portable phone has made communication easier than ever. We can take our business… Continue

My husband does not own a cell phone. This is no Luddite, holier-than-thou holdout. He doesn’t need one, he insists, case closed. He has a two-line phone for his business and only recently made a big technological leap, from an old-fashioned answering machine (the tape was beginning to crackle) to the state-of-the-art answering services provided by Verizon. Anyone wants to reach him when he’s out of the office doing errands, tough luck. I forget something on the list of grocery items I gave… Continue

What is your phone number? I don't know. I don't usually call myself!

With the latest technology I find that I have forgotten many important numbers, because they are all in my phone. But where is my phone?

Please someone call my phone so I can find it!

On a muggy afternoon in Central Illinois, accompanied by my husband and his mother (who we were there to visit), I (along with half of America), went to see the film I've been anticipating all summer: "Inception", Chris Nolan's cinematic masterpiece that so far boasts 142.8 million dollars in box office sales (200 million is predicted by summer's end).



My mother-in-law, bless her heart, hated the movie (with a passion). She snarled in disapproval and through gritted teeth… Continue

When I think about sustainable happiness I feel a rebellious part of me say, what if I don’t want to be happy? What if being happy all the time means letting go of being real, genuine, and authentic? I don’t want to be one of those fake happy people…and you can’t make me!

Hmmm, my higher self re-calibrates to respond to my text messaging, gum smacking inner teenager:



What if the essence of happiness is your natural state?

What if happiness is what we humans… Continue
