Welcome to the written works of Dustee Mourning. I hope you enjoy my range of content. I've been a creative writer since birth, so I'm guessing I brought this over from a previous life. I'm a technical writer and editor by trade. I started in manufacturing, moved on to Research & Development, and have finally landed into the IT field. I have no favorites, since technical writing is technical writing. But I do love to be surrounded by technology so IT has been the best fit, thus far.

I'm also into animal rescue. I'm not affiliated with organizations such as PETA, but rather spend my time working with no-kill shelters who house, rehabilitate and find the perfect forever homes for four-legged babies. I am the mother and care taker of two special-needs dog babies. They are wonderful critters (and, yes, I am a bit biased, but most folks think they are wonderful, too)!

I've just found this site. I hope to be adding flavorful topics for your enjoyment. Thanks for reading and happy writing!

Convenience is Failing Us

Americans are sinking in debt a little more with every day that passes. I cannot answer for anyone in particular, or a group as a whole, but only as a person with too much experience on this topic.

In a previously posted article, (How to handle rejection in the mortgage process) I explained how I had no debt when I first tried to purchase my home. I was informed that I must incur debt to show that I could pay back money borrowed, so I went into high-dollar debt with all of my credit cards.

This debt did not take long to accumulate because I have two specia...
