Swine Flu Over-rated?
May 25th, 2009 · No Comments
I think the media went a bit overboard with the panic is spread about the Swine Flu. People bought all of the masks and hand sanitizers they could get leaving stores and online stores completely without. Many blame such alarms and the breathless media coverage for creating an overreaction that disrupted many people’s lives. Public [...]

It must be the time of year for skimpy clothes and re-starting the New Year’s diet efforts, because the news, tv ads, and magazines are loaded with diets and tips for losing weight.

May 13th, 2009 · No Comments
This school year has flown by so quickly. Although I am more than ready for summer break for my children and myself, it is hard to believe there is only 1 week of school left. This has been such a huge academic advancement for my daughter. She was basically a nonreader at the beginning of [...]
