Am I unAmerican if I don't care to spend my day watching football? I absolutely hate football and I think the Super Bowl and other televised games are a waste of perfectly good television time. I have better things to do than...

These spammers, scammers and phishers are unbelievable! Out of the three emails I saw when I checked my inbox this morning and the others this week; this has to be by far the most far-fetched one I've...

sugarbee4mn And I especially like the ones that are from a family somewhere in Africa that are in need of help from Americans. Like they have tried every other country and now they think Americans are foolisih enough to fall for this junk? They cannot get jobs where they...

sugarbee4mn I have received many like this and even more. My favorite is the CEO of a world wide company died in a plane crash and left no beneficiaries so you have been chosen to inherit 8 million dollars! Or our company needs representatives to receive payments and...

Dropping auto insurance to save money. That is what people in Indiana are doing. Winter weather typically leads to plenty of crashes on Indiana's roads, making this a bad decision. Insurance Institute President Stephen Williams....

sugarbee4mn In our state, you will get fined for not having insurance on your car. It is against the law not to have it. But in turn when you get automobile insurance, you are covered for uninsured drivers. It is not a good idea to not have insurance coverage. It could...

I just dropped my teenage babysitter off at the park to see her boyfriend for a little while. Her boyfriend is one of a set of identical twins. When we drove up, one twin was in their car and the other was playing basketball. It...

sugarbee4mn I have fifteen year old identical twin neices and I still cannot tell them apart. I always have to ask which one they are. They could pull a fast one on me really easily, and I am sure they do it whenever they can with those that don't know them well.

I struggled for months now maybe almost a year with a can opener that doesn't work, an electric one and then the manual ones we bought were not good either. Last night I had to pry open a can of peas with a knife and I said to my...

sugarbee4mn I have a whole porch full of HEAVY trash that my son was supposed to help me carry out to the dumpster, weeks ago. I have no plastic on my windows to keep the cold wind out, because my son has not come over to help me. (I am not allowed to climb on things, and...

sugarbee4mn Thanks for responding! I do not know all of the exact details, whether he has travel insurance, can call family, etc. I recieved a desperate email stating that he was robbed of everything (I am assuming passport and all)there is some issue with the phones...

sugarbee4mn Thank you for responding. He does have limited access to email, but apparently having issues with the phones where he is. I am not completely clear on all of the details. I have emailed him to find out his exact location. I told him about the embassey. I think...

Smoking is not allowed in many public places. It's fine. It's good for the public health. But, why not we stop drinking in public? or stop other negative habit in public? I'm not saying that I want people smoke freely in...

sugarbee4mn I agree that in crowded places like sporting events or something like that, yes, smoking should be banned. But walking down the street passing someone smoking, is not going to affect anyone but the smoker. Or in a park, if no one else is near. I know there are...

sugarbee4mn My sentiments exactly. I just didn't want to ruffle any feathers by saying it. In a democratic society how come out of 100 people, the 20 non-smokers got that bill passed? Smokers were just too lazy to lobby, or as usual, is the majority being ignored on...

sugarbee4mn Drinking is hazardous to other people's health when a drunk gets behind the wheel of a 2000+ lb. vehicle, just as second hand smoke is unhealthy for non smokers. But, a drunk driver can kill you in an instant, whereas sitting for a few hours in a bar, or...

sugarbee4mn I am a smoker, and I do not have a problem with smoking being banned "INSIDE" public places, like malls and restaurants. But, I do take issue with smoking being banned in bars. I think bar owners should have the option to allow or ban smoking themselves, not...
