It’s not surprising that the White House is not too concerned about uninvited guests crashing a state dinner considering their stance on illegal border crossing. They’re just uninvited guests, right? And so is the robber who enters your home.

A new friend of mine recently told me that she is considering going back to school to improve her employment prospects and asked me for advise. I recommend that she consider online university. (more…)

I’ve Been Framed
November 28, 2009 by Karen of Scottsdale
My husband Norm is always taking pictures of me. We have photographs of us and me all over the house. Sometimes I feel like I’m looking in the mirror when I see the picture frames all over our house with my face looking right back at me. Perhaps a digital frame might be a good idea for us. We could have lots of pictures in one frame and we can change the picture whenever we want. Sounds like a good idea.

I Want That Job
November 28, 2009 by Karen of Scottsdale
These days with the economy the way it is and jobs being scarce one would think that employees would think twice before upsetting their employers and getting themselves fired. Well, apparently, if you’re a city manager, it’s not that big of a deal because you’ll get a fantastic severance package costing over $120,000. (more…)

Back Side
November 28, 2009 by azNorm
Karen and I saw Blind Side yesterday and I have to tell you I enjoyed it from the very beginning to the end.
I know what I’m about to say, might make you laugh, and there are, I’m sure some of you out there who will think I’m nuts, but each time one of the characters said they were going to “cover your back”, I couldn’t help but think of colon cleanser reviews.
Don’t ask me that. I have no idea why, but it was Thanksgiving and we had not had a Turkey Dinner, as we have made other plans this year, but for what every reason it popped into my head during the movie. Had nothing to do with the story, but my mind has a tendency of going off in many different directions and not staying on the subject being discussed or the story line in a movie.

Christmas Cats
November 28, 2009 by Karen of Scottsdale
Ever since I can remember I’ve always been a doodler. My mother, who is a fantastic artist, taught me basic drawings skills at an early age. Over the years she taught me three dimensional drawing, watercolor painting and design and color theory concepts. (more…)

As If We Had Nothing Better to Do
November 28, 2009 by Karen of Scottsdale
For the average person, November and December are the busiest months of the year. If you’re a college student, you’re busy preparing for exams and thinking about going home for the holidays, as well as Christmas shopping and all the fun activities involved with that. If you’re over 65 you probably don’t have to worry about preparing for exams in school, but you are concerned with holiday preparations and family visits. You can also add to that list searching for health insurance plans. Yes, for those who are over 65 (my husband is one of them), you not only get to spend your time hunting for bargains and last minute gifts, you also look forward to appointments with insurance company representatives to discuss your Medicare supplement plan. As if we have nothing else better to do this time of year.

Say Uncle
November 28, 2009 by Karen of Scottsdale
The other day I was recalling a family reunion trip many years ago when I was maybe 13 or 14 years old in which I met my grandfather’s brothers and sisters. We went to Oklahoma and spent a couple of days there getting to know relatives I never met before. One of my grandfather’s brothers, my Great Uncle Howard, was sheriff of the town where we had the family reunion. (more…)
