Image by adambowie via FlickrIf you have watched anything on television these days, you are well aware of the fact that many people believe the planet is heating up to self-destruction. Everyone wants us to recycle, grow our own food without the use of chemicals, turn off our lights, and ride a bicycle everywhere. Now, I personally think it is wasteful and indicative of a spoiled brat to use up

Image via WikipediaThe FDA is attempting to regulate the sales of acetaminophen, better known as Tylenol. They already have their hands full regulating our sugar intake, alcohol consumption, tobacco products, and diet pills, but evidently they are convinced that the American public is too stupid to take care of themselves. This situation reminds me of the warnings on a cup of coffee that "it is

Image via WikipediaIf you don't know who the Imagination Movers are, then you must be living in a deep, dark, childless hole. This group of four guys appear on their own show each weekday morning on the Disney Channel. The concept is that they "move their imaginations" to solve problems, a/k/a "idea emergencies." These four men come from every walk of life: an elementary teacher, an architect, an

On Tuesdays I am extremely tired. I always over-work myself on Mondays trying to get a jump on the week. So every Tuesday you can expect something short, sweet, and relaxing. Here is one of my favorite songs: Dave Matthews Band - Stay (Wasting Time) (Live At Folsom Field) (Official Music Video) - Click here for the most popular videos

I admit it: I barely know what my pre-teen son is listening to these days. I try to be a good parent and keep up, but there are a couple of forces working against me. For starters, I can no longer understand all the words to the songs. This hearing disability began about the time I turned 30 years old. My son says that it is the beginning stages of "oldness." I've explained to him that when I was

Image via WikipediaI am right-handed. So is my husband, my mother, my grandparents, and most of the people I know. In fact, I only remember knowing one kid in school that was left-handed. Supposedly, only about 12-15% of the population is left-handed, and this is an increase from a few generations ago when it was believed that only 10% were left-handed. I was always fascinated by the one "lefty"

Every night we go to our beds to engage in "the other half" of our lives. Most of the time we think very little about it, with each person having his or her own routine. Ten years ago when I went to bed at night, there was no routine. I collapsed on top of the covers, still fully clothed, from sheer exhaustion. Now, I agonize each night over maintaining a bed-time routine for my children that

Image by Nationaal Archief via FlickrLike most other homes in America, the recession has become personal for us. We've cut back on some extras like eating out, and even called the cable company to make sure we were getting the lowest price possible and still have our favorite channels. I cook more and run the dishwasher less (remember how your grandmother use to wash dishes: by hand!). But in my

Yesterday as I watched Fox and Friends in the morning and drank my coffee, which is a ritualistic and daily activity, I was hit with another case of people wanting to ban, or censor, literature. Now this has always been a hot topic for me because I am an English teacher, and somewhat liberal when it comes to Freedom of Speech and Expression. I very rarely agree with censorship in the arts. Does

Image via WikipediaAs a mother of two boys, who are 10 years apart in age, I have struggled for almost 12 years with balancing the time spent pursuing my personal goals and the time spent with my children. When my oldest son was a baby I was newly divorced, working two jobs, and going to school at night. I spent very little time with him during the week, but convinced myself that it would be okay
