CVS Done Me Wrong!

Friday, December 12th, 2008

Actually, they are making it difficult for a lot of us.  CVS is near my home and I have filled my prescriptions there for nearly three years now.  They had in me a loyal customer, because they matched Wal-Mart’s price of $10 for a three month refill.  That is, until this week.  They will fill it for […]

Skip the Outward Appearance

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” I Samuel 16:7

Making Gifts for the Adult

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

There are many things you can make as gifts for adults of either gender.  Some of these are a bath wrap, shoe bags which make a very good gift for the frequent flier, cookies, brownies or bread, cosmetic bags for the ladies or pj’s or robes.  There are many more thoughtful gifts you can create using […]

Diet Chili

Friday, December 5th, 2008

One of my comfort foods when it gets cold is chili.  I can’t make chili just for a couple people.  No matter what I do, I always end up with a huge kettle full by the time I quit adding ingredients.  But that’s okay.  Chili is always better the second day and it freezes well. […]

Travel by Car or Fly?

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

The automakers decided to travel by car to Washington this week to beg for their handout.  That’s much better than the mode of travel used a couple weeks ago when they arrogantly flew in by private jet.  That sent the message that they expected us to buy one of their cars for our traveling, but […]

Another Duh Moment

Monday, December 1st, 2008

So, where has everyone been?  I just now received a breaking news alert from the New York Times.  It seems as if investors had no clue that our economy is going down the tubes and that we are in a recession.  The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 679.95 points or 7.7 percent today as the announcement came […]

They Finally Figured It Out

Monday, December 1st, 2008

I just received a news alert from The New York Times.  We have been in a recession since December, 2007.  I wonder what made it so difficult that it took a year for this group of economists to finally decide that.  I don’t suppose it was because the government wanted to keep us in the dark about […]
