Just last week I was put in a position of coordinating a silent/live auction fundraiser for my son's school. The auction is at the end of March and is a very big deal. Last year the school raised $30,000! I am hoping that I do...

Today I was substitute for a 3rd grade class and I loved it. It was fun and the kids were great! It wasn't at a public school so the class is very small. Although I have been quite involved with my children's schools I have only...

independent_inAK Wow, that sounds very interesting. I am thinking about different options. I don't know if I would be able to do the college it takes either. I'm a full time mom. I've known of other mom's that have done it and I admire them. If I taught I would teach in a...

I was never a big fan of cold pizza the day after, but even when leftover pizza is warmed up it's not as good as when you first ordered it. I finally tried eating cold pizza and it wasn't that bad. I still don't eat it all the...

I hope this isn't opening up a big ugly can of worms, but i have to be honest here... one of the things that has turned me off about certain religions is that they pray to a gender-specific God. I myself am into equal rights,...

independent_inAK Thank you for taking the time to read it. I know it's long and didn't mean for it to be but when I get started on something like that it's hard for me to stop. I could write a book I guess. :)

independent_inAK Yeah, I'm sorry but I didn't get it either. I love poetry and I put myself in the poems I read but I couldn't place myself in this one. There were a few lines that I could connect with but then it went to something else. Keep following your dreams and...

For non-native English speakers, they are eager to talk with natives to practise English. But sometimes they're not easily understood or even make natives embarrassed or annoyed. Are you patient enough to understand them and are...

Ok, my husband actually wanted me to start this discussion because he is wondering who all has had to deal with the same thing. We have run into some minor credit card debt...not near as much as I've heard other people getting...

independent_inAK EXACTLY! That sounds very familiar. One time they told my husband that if he paid a certain amount right then that they would quit calling. He paid but did they quit calling? NO!

independent_inAK They will find anything to charge you for. We joke about them charging for ridiculous things like, say, it's a Monday and it's raining in Idaho so they'll charge you 10% interest on you next bill. Or...you sent them a check but you wrote with blue ink so the...

independent_inAK Thank you so much...we did know that there was some kind of law against it...reading the law to them is a good idea. So is sending a certified letter. After a while we started to either hang up or just mess with them. They are so ridiculous...and if they...

I love dried fruit. When you need a quick pick me up, grab a handful of raisins or dried cranberries. They are flavorful and loaded with nutrition. I always try to keep a variety of dried fruit in my pantry. Apricots, dates,...

independent_inAK Wow, I didn't know all that. My son's school, the one I subbed at, is really small, private school and I don't think they get that technical. If I was to teach I would want to teach at this school. I also went to this school for a couple years during high...
