One way to save money is to find free samples online, as many times they come with a coupon to help lower the cost of the next one. I received in the mail today a free product from Smiley 360. Its a tube of Arm & Hammer Sensitive...

This is NOT The Onion. This crazy, high-ranking, Democrat moron actually claimed that her staffers, most of whom earn over $100,000/year, are going to starve because food in the Capital Building's cafeteria is too expensive....

I am wanting to publish my poetry and want to know what you think is best way? Some say that self publishing is the way; but then if I do that I must buy so many books and then sell them.
Others say that I should find a...

Deborah L. Alten I was actually thinking of getting those Chia Herb Boxes even though they look so dorky. It was simplicity I was after since I lack a green thumb. I did plant potatoes inside and they are blossoming, though I'm not sure what lies beneath. Let us know if the...

Most of you are probably unaware that for the last 4 months a US marine has been in a Mexican prison, where his life is threatened regularly. He's in there because, before crossing the border, he asked border patrol agents how to...

Deborah L. Alten I'm with you on this. But CNN did pick up the story ... way after Fox. The update as far as I know is that he is going to be released and coming home for Christmas which might mean he's on his way. But you're right. There was nothing mentioned about this on...

One of the lovely things about social network sites is that you only have to give out as much or as little personal information as you want. Of course the longer that we are on these sites the greater the risk and temptation to...

Deborah L. Alten We actually use our iPads and cell phones in church ... would you believe. Hardly anybody brings their Bibles anymore since it's on phones and iPads. We have our own church app that allows us to prepare for the sermon. Our pastor puts the outline of his sermon...

I'd occasionally dip into an episode of House (MD) for an occasional medical mystery story..I'd read that the idea of "House" was based around the deductive genius of Sherlock Holmes,(even the Name is a sly tribute!)which You'd...

Deborah L. Alten You know, I'm ashamed to say I never read Sherlock Holmes. But I did watch the movies, old and new. I loved them. You're right the books are free so I should get those. And I watched House in the beginning but his character got so annoying. I haven't seen the...

Deborah L. Alten I never did see the first one because I just can't get into Sylvester Stallone. However, I LOVE Karl Urban. And since I love sci/fi I might have to go see this one. I don't mind when movies bring on new actors to fit the role, but like I said I don't care for...
