A came across an interesting story about gargoyles. In Newcastle, England above the door of St. Nicholas Cathedral there is a rather odd gargoyle statue. No one knows how or why this vampire rabbit was created but there he is if...

I live alone in a three-story house with a fully furnished basement. My house is surrounded by cemeteries. Whenever I am in the kitchen I can see rows of tombstones in the distance. The cemetery used to be partially blocked by...

Jim Bauer @lovebuglena At some point, I think the decision is yours. You can't spend a lot of time waiting on him to make a final decision. You need to decide what you want and accept that it might not be something you share with him. You gave him what you could. He...

I got married and have decided to take on my husband's last name. My author name will remain Lena Kovadlo, so any newly published books will be under that name. I am wondering though if I have to change my last name on all the...

Jim Bauer @lovebuglena Well, certainly changes do need to be made for tax purposes.

We've discovered that if we both get water to drink and share one entree we can eat at Texas Roadhouse for under $20 for the two of us. That's a win-win. I ate half a yeast roll with cinnamon butter. They're GREAT but high in...

Jim Bauer That was part of it. He'd save $20 an hour on a warehouse guy and not have to pay more on the base for us...but of course, the opportunity cost was what he wasn't seeing, and that opportunity cost was the loss of sales revenue. And in the end, the opportunity...

A fool and his money are soon parted. It's a saying we've all heard a million times. Here's the thing. I made it a life's goal to not be a fool. So, I take great care with my money. I save every penny I can. I keep what I can. I...

Jim Bauer I get that ALL THE TIME, and yes, it pisses me off to NO END, because whether or not one has children has absolutely nothing to do with it any more than how much you make has to do with anything. Money is not about money as much as it is about your...

Jim Bauer @jaylar It sounds like you don't know much about how business works. lol I would recommend reading The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, and focus on chapters 8 and 20. It is all you will ever need to know about investing and picking the right...

Jim Bauer That's my thinking too. Most definitely. And so easy to make, it seems great for a "pinch" meal, and maybe a much better alternative to getting frozen stuff I sometimes get for "I don't really want to cook" days. Even though, I'd technically have to cook to...

Jim Bauer @Moonyana Beef has been off my list for a bit. It's just really gone through the roof. Even the cheapest "cut," ground beef, is going to set you back almost $5 a pound. It's just gotten ridiculous.

Jim Bauer It's always best to try to at least find one. A silver lining, that is. I definitely do think had this situation not occurred with Butch, Grayson and Cal would not be with me here, now.
