I am a huge talk radio fan.  Since I was little at my grandparents home, I have listened to talk radio and Paul Harvey was a big part of that radio time.  My favorite was news and comment, found at 12 p.m. local time.  I knew the time was coming when we would not be blessed with his voice as he w...

I am not a big Oprah watcher but I saw this week was all about making a better 2009.  I kn...

I sure hope I can still sell and buy used kids clothes and toys.  I am a mother of 2 boys that grow like weeds and they love a toy just before they move on to something new which is not long enough.  According to an article in the LA Times, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, which was p...
