Instead of constantly posting links to articles, videos, and general nonsense I find on the web to Facebook, I thought I would start creating blog posts with links to all the things I find interesting. Since my Facebook account already pulls in my blog posts and puts them on my Notes page, I will still […]
Can we afford to keep ourselves healthy?
Last year, when I was diagnosed (again) with bipolar disorder, I didn’t have to worry about the price of my medication. Though I didn’t have health insurance, the county I live in was able to finance most of my medications and doctor visits. My payments were quite affordable and I was thankful for the taxes […]
Marriage – It’s Not a Matter of Belief
You probably know at least one person who has refrained from getting married because s/he says “I don’t believe in the institution of marriage.” or something similar. While I understand many of the arguments people make for retaining their “single” status indefinitely, I think “not believing” in marriage is, well, a load of crap. I […]
Back to School: My First Steps
I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with my life since I realized that my English degree isn’t going to get me anywhere that I want to go. I don’t regret focusing my time on literature at all. I love reading and thinking about what I’m reading. I loved the vast majority of […]
A Car Story
Once, I rushed my (fairly) new car to Midas and begged them to fix my car because the check engine light was on. They took one look at the car and suggested I take it to the dealership to get taken care of for free under the warranty. I felt like a complete idiot. But, […]
Please Help Me Understand!!!
I’m interested in understanding different viewpoints on our country’s issues. I’m confused about the economy and what’s happened over the last 6-9 months. Last year, under the leadership of GW Bush, our country passed some bailout of about $750 million dollars that went to major banks and businesses that were in trouble. We’re giving help […]
Race Issue?
I just watched some news coverage of the conviction of former alderman Michael McGee, Jr. I understand that he is charismatic and has a large following in the city of Milwaukee – not just in his district. The reporter interviewed some people outside the courthouse. There were two women (both African-American) supporting McGee. They seemed […]
Softening Stiff, Scratchy Fabric
A while back, we bought a set of sheets that felt soft at the store, but had a lower thread count than we usually buy. We brought them home, washed them, and slept on them. Quickly, we learned that these sheets weren’t washing well and were not as soft as they first seemed. So I […]
It’s been too long …
Since the last post, I believe it’s been cold nearly every day. There were no tornadoes in Wisconsin this January, thankfully. I’ve learned to knit. I never knew just how fun knitting could be. I actually knit most (if not all) of the presents I gave away for christmas this year. I knit an iPod […]
Exciting News!
Since I was a child, I dreamed of writing articles, stories, and poems that would make money. Now I have that chance. At least on a small scale. A site named Associated Content allows people to submit material for publication. When these items are reviewed and placed on the site, the author is paid for […]
