Personal Finance > Smart Spending Is it better to do your holiday shopping in stores or online?: 14 of 27
My wife and I had this very discussion just a couple of weeks ago. I think it all depends on where you live. Let me explain, we live 100 miles from everywhere there is a shopping mall or a variety of options that can cause competitive pricing. We live 30 miles from the nearest red light, or grocery store. Our best choice for ... More..
Entertainment > Movie Characters & Performances Does Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight merit an Oscar?: 11 of 21
Without a doubt we have seen Heath grow as an actor. From his first film, "Ten Things I Hate About You," it was apparent that he was somewhat typecast in that role. It was as if they wanted Heath to be another teen heart throb. Little did they know, or even expect, that he really had some acting chops. With every role he play... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Energy Issues Is solar energy a viable solution to reducing oil dependence?: 9 of 17
This is nothing new people. Ronald Regan had renewable energy tax credits in the 80's. Now when we find ourselves paying over $4 a gallon for gas at self serve it has become critical. It seems like maybe the Regan administration might have known a little bit about the future predicament a heavy dependency on foreign oil could... More..
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Life lessons: 206 of 360
Through The Eyes of a Blind Man I learned many life lessons from one of the smartest people I knew. He wasn't a scholar, a CEO of a fortune 500 company, he was what we call JAG, just a guy. This guy though was my grandfather and he was an incredible man. When my mother, one of seven children, was 6 years old, hot steel someho... More..
Health & Fitness > Depression Causes of depression: 17 of 28
There can be many causes for depression, basically it stems from a feeling of worthlessness. While not all forms of depression are caused by the same set of circumstances they all seem to have one common denominator. When a person is at the onset of depression, which can be triggered by many different events in thier life, th... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Taking risks: 5 of 8
I remember it like it was yesterday, though it was Thanksgiving Day 1980. The weather was perfect no wind to speak of, not a cloud in the sky, all in all a perfect day for flying. We were in a single engine 4 seat plane as we left the Seattle airport. Our destination was Mt. St. Helen, and yes this was after the big eruption.... More..
Other What is the most important question?: 66 of 100
That is a very tough question to answer. I am not sure there is a correct answer for this question. To some it may be what the meaning of life is? To other, like my teenaged children it could be, what are we doing Friday night? Still others of faith may ask what God looks like. Is there a heaven or hell? That's a good one but... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Worrying: 22 of 33
Worrying is natural for humans. Please do not ask me why but it seems we were all born with the gene for worry. I'm so expert on this subject of what is in our genes and how they affect us; however, I have seen enough people that worry to convince me that it must be a gene thing.The problem I find is that worrying can, and of...

Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Wikipedia conspiracy: Editors' inside agenda to shape public opinion: 6 of 9
Wikipedia conspiracy or is it some nut with his finger on the button? Who is the hero that decided this option was good? Hey if we get information from anyone, we will soon have more information than anyone on every subject. Excuse me I was under the illusion that this was an online encyclopedia. Was I wrong in my assessment?... More..
Autos > Driving & Safety Should school buses have and enforce seat belt use?: 18 of 26
As a parent of three children involved in a bus accident a few years ago I have to side with the yes crowd on this one. If it is the law that anyone under 15, in my state anyway, must be buckled in or you can be fined. Therefore the logical answer is that School Buses should also require that our children be buckled up too. E... More..
