I’ve been working a part-time job. It doesn’t pay much of anything, but to be honest the money wasn’t the incentive. The weather has been so bad I was absolutely bored out of mind. Anyway, the job is working for ChaCha. If you don’t know what that is, don’t feel bad [...]

I have to say that Conan O’Brien won me over when he moved to the Tonight Show.  I really didn’t watch him much before, but I was more than ready for a change.  I’ve never found Jay Leno to be funny.  His comedy borders on the juvenile and potty humor most of the time.  My [...]

Is it true? We don’t know for sure, but regardless it’s a cute photo.

A fawn followed this beagle home — right through the doggie door — In the Bittinger, MD area. The owner came home to find the visitor had made himself right at home. This hit the 6 o’clock news big time. Sure [...]

Frank Schaeffer doesn’t mince words and I like that about him.  Agree or disagree you know exactly where he stands.  It’s a fairly long read, but well worth the time in my opinion.

This is a strange case.   I’ve never used an IUD but I have friends who have and I remember them talking about having them removed….it didn’t sound like they came out easily with a “gentle” tug.  If this nurse has a reputation for them coming out when she gives them a gentle tug maybe [...]
