Parenting & Pregnancy > Teen Challenges Assessing the trend toward coed sleepover parties among teens: 14 of 18
The inmates are running the asylum now days; teens do not rule the home! Hello parents out there; is anybody awake? I can't believe any responsible adult would not get why teens think this is "cool"; like that matters anyway! Cool doesn't get a vote in our home. Morals, integrity, and character - they get votes. Making a teen... More..
Entertainment > TV News & Commentary Reasons why you should watch (and love) Star Trek: 7 of 9
Recipe: Real hard science plus some imagination sprinkled in and some deep moral questions pondered equal Star Trek. I think the prevailing reason many science minded people love Star Trek, including people like Stephen Hawking, is because it presents real scientific ideas and possibilities in an entertaining genre. Mix that ... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms What it means to be a woman over 40 in the new millennium: 107 of 132
I love being 58 years young! The new millennium offers a lot of challenges that women have never had to face. For example: Mothers having children excessively obsessed with technology; they spend hours in front of TV's and video games or plugged into iPods. Families are emotionally distant and disconnected today. Unlike previ... More..
Food & Drink > Recipes (Other) Recipes: Family recipes passed down: 30 of 37
Paw Paw's Cakesies...aka Whiskey Pancakes are a favorite in our house and among our friends. My father tweaked an old recipe of my Great, Great Granny's for Whiskey Pound Cake (circa 1865). He figured that if her Whiskey Pound Cake was such a family hit then why wouldn't Rye Whiskey be good in pancakes? Viola...Paw Paw's Cake... More..
Religion & Spirituality > New Age Concepts Occultism explained: 9 of 11
Energy flow and Energy Relationship is the Occult in a nutshell. Of course it is much more complicated than that, but for a non-pagan studying this subject for years I have summarized it down to that one statement. Secret knowledge has been around since the Garden of Eden and the Sumerian/Babylonian cultures. If you Google th... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory If the next president addresses energy security and healthcare costs, will that help the US compete in a global economy?: 9 of 11
Where in the Constitution does it state that the President is responsible for any influence on World Economy? Last time I checked the President doesn't have the power to spend one thin dime of your money. The Legislative Branch is the one with the power to spend money and make treaties (unless you do an end run around them wi... More..
Style & Beauty > Jewelry Should I insure my jewelry?: 6 of 7
Bling-Bling Insurance is a must for those of you who are fortunate enough to own some real precious jewelry. If those pretty jewels are cubic zirconium then forget it; however, if you own a $30,000 brooch from grandma you are crazy not to have it insured for appraisal value. Your Homeowner's Insurance will not cover that amou... More..
Home & Garden > Buying & Selling Homes Simple tips for preparing your house for sale: 69 of 80
Tip #1: Take two aspirin and call me in the morning; you are sick to want to put yourself through this ordeal. Are you sure you want to do this to yourself? We just did this last year. I told my husband never again. Yea, right; I think I also said the same thing the last 12 times we moved in our 34 years of marriage. We must ... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Tips Why parents should participate actively in their child's education: 11 of 12
This nation is in deep trouble if we don't turn around the miserable education system and parents are the key.I wonder what it would be like if parents cared more about their kids than their own wants and needs. What a revolutionary idea now days. Our post-modern, hedonistic society is the "what about me" society. A majority ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Debate on the war in Iraq: 113 of 123
"Republic Good...Empire Bad" - That is what a bumper sticker said. I loved it! How succinct and revealing. This sums up the global agenda that is going on behind the War. This War has nothing to do with Terror; it is about Money and Control; and I don't mean Oil.Let me explain. As a freelance writer, I have done a lot of rese... More..
