Sordid Lives

Sordid Lives

You know all the stories that they tell you of the South? Most of them are true, they honestly are. Yes, there are the sweetest folks in the South, hospitable, down to earth and very God fearing. They do have their issues though; intolerance, hypocrisy, bigotry…actually the same thing you can find up north if I come to [...]

Equality for Constance McMillen.

Equality for Constance McMillen.

How a High School in Fulton , MS (Itawamba County School District) Redefines Homophobia.
I have been watching and reading the news, on the Internet and in the media. What is going on right now resembles  more the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 than anything I have seen in quite some time.
I have lived in Mississippi, [...]

Forcing the “Norm”.

Forcing the “Norm”.

I’ve seen a lot of different things in my almost 47 years. Sadly enough, I’ve also experienced things that I wouldn’t wish my worst enemy (except those that put me through the experiences) and often even thinking about these events in my life or discussing them can be difficult. I try to be understanding, something [...]

Web sites you need to visit.

Web sites you need to visit.

There are always a few favorite web sites that an “internet junkie” will visit. I have my favorites as well.
Men’s Health
Yes, I know, I’m a chick, so why go to a web site dedicated to the well being of men? Well, I have sons, three to be exact. I also am an individual interested in [...]

“Fast food” for college kids.

“Fast food” for college kids.

Shane, a dear friend of ours, is a college student struggling to keep his budget together just as so many other college kids are doing. No one  really has the money to go out and eat all of the time, but no one really wants to cook either. The solution is easy and will really [...]

PASTA- Thrifty, good and fast!

PASTA- Thrifty, good and fast!

My kids love pasta, in all forms and with almost anything. Most adults seem to love pasta as well, the consumption of pasta in 2003 alone (1.3 million pounds),  lined up together would circle the earths equator…get this…almost nine (9) times (ilovepasta.org). If you would really just eat pasta in all it’s varieties, you could [...]

Smart Shopping

Smart Shopping

Want to save some money? Well here’s how.
Buying in bulk is not necessarily better if you are wanting to save money. Many people are just conned into believing the the bigger packages are the higher savings. Wrong.
John Stossel (formerly of abc’s 20/20, now on FOX) recognized that bulk binges can actually cost you much more than ‘bargained’ for. In Stossel’s book, [...]

Travel to…Dallas

Travel to…Dallas

There are a lot of places that leave such an impression on a traveler when passing through, that the traveler knows, ‘this is a place I would like to return to’. The city I am speaking of is Dallas, Texas. Texas is really not appreciated the way it should be, especially not Dallas.
In 1841 John [...]

Same-Sex Marriages or Domestic Partnerships, Who Allows It, and Who Doesn’t?

Same-Sex Marriages or Domestic Partnerships, Who Allows It, and Who Doesn’t?

In the never ending battle for the right to freedom of choice as to whom to marry (same-sex marriages), I have been doing extensive research and have to say…I just don’t get it. We have laws in place that prohibit discrimination based upon religious affiliations, those in place which prohibit discrimination based upon gender, ethnicity, [...]

Something for Everyone

Something for Everyone

Alright, now not everyone of us have the body of a supermodel, although many of us might wish we did. I want you ladies to feel good about yourselves, and guys, you too. There are a couple of sites out there that aim at the ‘better built’ individuals and the clothing (also accessories) are not [...]

The “other kind ” of Olympics

The “other kind ” of Olympics

Now that we have all watched the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada and seen just how great all the Nations competed side by side, some will be sorry it is all over.
Not me. In my opinion, the ‘real Olympics’ haven’t even started yet.
On March 12, 2010, at 18:00 hours, the most challenging of all [...]

MY FASHION TIP

MY FASHION TIP

Not that I find everything out there in the fashion world age appropriate anymore, but there are some really good designers and some awesomely cute outfits on the runway. Of course this gal can’t afford runway designs (nor could I fit into them) but I do know where to get some really affordable things for [...]
