I’m stepping up on my soapbox. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get drivers to stop texting while driving on the road, highway, or while stopped at a traffic light or sign. For some reason, drivers don’t count “stopped at the light” as driving. I don’t honk if I see drivers texting because I don’t want to further distract or startle the driver, [Read more…]
Soup Bowls : Favorite Finds
Seriously, I am learning to cook because of my soup bowls. The official name is the double handled soup crocks. It was love at first sight when I spotted these on display at World Market last year. I spent 15 minutes debating about the color. I went with a shade of green, but now I have my heart [Read more…]

Cyber health record theft allows criminals to impersonate [Read more…]

Hell hath no fury than an accounting major who finds a duplicate credit card charge.
This past spring, I shared my daughter’s study abroad experience to Florence, Italy. She was home for a week before heading to Omaha for a summer internship.
