$4 billion Sent Out! - 05/31/08 12:02 PM
I read in the news today that $4 billion in rebate checks has been sent out so far. That's amazing to me! I can't even fathom that amount of money.

Yippee! Right? Maybe not... - 05/30/08 08:41 AM
I heard that oil prices went down $4 a barrel the other day! Great news!! Right? At least, that's what I thought.
I thought that gas prices were directly related to the price of oil. Right?
If this is the case, then why did gas prices shoot up 13 cents over night? … (12 comments)

What's the matter with kids, today? - 05/28/08 08:03 AM
The other day, I saw a McDonald's commercial. It said, "Get up and play an hour a day!"
Is it just me, or does this strike anyone else as "sad"? Kids today need to be encouraged by a commercial to PLAY?
I don't know about you, but when I was a … (12 comments)

Wake Forest makes standardized tests optional. - 05/27/08 09:57 AM
I heard this on the news this morning. Wake Forest University will no longer require applicants to submit an SAT or ACT score, beginning with the freshman class of 2009. They seem to think that these scores do not adequately reflect all applicants' abilities.
They say that the tests can even be … (3 comments)

I know what "LOL" means - "Laugh Out Loud", and "BF" is pretty easy - "Best Friend". But, beyond these...I have … (5 comments)

Ron Paul? - 05/23/08 08:05 AM
Does anybody know anything about Ron Paul? I haven't heard much about him, but I think he will be on the ticket this fall.
I'm not convinced Obama, Hillary, or McCain can represent me, so I'm looking for other options...
What does Ron Paul stand for? Is there a web site … (7 comments)

I was just trying to save money... - 05/21/08 09:11 PM
Vaccinations can be very expensive...Even for horses! The stable where I board
my horse has several horses. So, we decided to buy our vaccines in bulk and
administer them ourselves. This would save us each over $100! Great idea!
You know how you hold the the syringe … (9 comments)

Devastation in China. - 05/19/08 02:50 PM
I heard on the news this morning that the victims of the earthquake has risen to 32,000. They say that the victims could actually be up to 80,000!
That is just unfathomable to me. An earthquake that registers 7.9 on the Richter scale can cause so much devastation.
It's times like these … (2 comments)

I just heard on the news this morning that construction of new homes rose 8.2 percent in April! Isn't that great? They said that this is the largest monthly advance in more than 2 years.
It is largely due to an increase in apartment construction, but hey, we'll take what … (0 comments)

The St. Louis county, Missouri and St. Charles county, Missouri areas are having the wettest spring in recorded history. If your basement is ever going to leak, now is probably when it will do it.

More Rain...? - 05/07/08 12:31 PM
It looks like the St. Louis, MO area is expecting much more rain in the next 24 hours. Most of us are supposed to see 2 to 3 inches. However, some of the area can expect up to 5 inches!
Is it my imagination, or is this unusual? In March, we … (4 comments)

I figured something out the other day...
I drive a Ford 500. I have been getting around 20 mpg with a mix of city and highway driving.
I heard something on the news recently - Driving 55-60 mph on the highway gets you better gas mileage than driving faster. So, I decided to test it … (20 comments)

I had kind of a scare today. My daughter and I went to the ranch to ride our horses. While she had her horse (Kayley) tied to the hitching post, Kayley spooked.
She actually broke the hitching post and pulled it out of the ground which, of course, spooked her more. The hitching … (8 comments)
