To raise gas prices, or not. That is the question.

I’ve never really thought much about gas prices except to complain when they’re high or celebrate when they’re lower. My parents like to talk about how low prices were when I was a kid or how much lower they were when they were kids, but in my naivety I guess I thought the prices depended […]

October means Breast Cancer Awareness

During the month of October everyone starts to see tons of pink and for as long as I can remember has been Breast Cancer Awareness month which is usually supported by the Susan G Komen foundation. So my question, especially after visiting their webpage and hearing so much about them, is what percent of what is […]

Common vs. Standard

What is this common core math crap?! I have a little sister who is in 4th grade. I was home once while she in probably 2nd grade and was working on her math homework and she asked me for help. First of all, that’s terrifying for her to ask me (I am in no way someone […]

Is organic truly better for you?

I am new to the organic world and have not yet completely converted. Some things are still so convenient even if they might possibly be harmful. I would say it’s a slow process, but a worth while one. I’ve never really thought that my skin was all that sensitive, but as of late (maybe since […]

Renting…throwing your money away?

I’ve heard from different relatives and friends that renting an apartment or house is the same as throwing your money away. Maybe, and in some situations completely! In those situations though, I’m grateful I didn’t own the property. However, if I had owned the property the problems would have been fixed and promptly. I’ve been […]

But it’s just so delicious!

There is a difference between stuffing your face so full that you can’t breathe and enjoying your food. Obesity in animals is a problem, but it’s even worse in human beings. I think it’s finally becoming clear to folks that it’s not healthy. At the same time I keep seeing on Facebook and the internet that being overweight […]

Allergies or dementia?

A few years ago while living with my Granny she had been regularly taking benadryl at night to help her get to sleep. I had only ever heard it used as an antihistamine since that is what it is labeled as. She read one day in the news a new and possibly alarming side effect of long term […]

Why would anyone aim to be like Heisenberg….

I’m not sure why, but regular everyday folks must be completely unsatisfied with their lives to want to mimic a drug and crime based show where no one has a happy ending except maybe Jesse and that isn’t what I would call happy in the least. So why is it that there have been numerous cases of people […]

Invisibility Cloaks! I need one!

My favorite question to ask anyone as a kid was what super power they would choose because; well who wouldn’t want some sort of super power?! Early on I was fixated with invisibility. I think mostly because I’ve always been somewhat awkward and unsure of myself. Anyway, browsing twitter as I rarely do, I stumbled […]

When do you know who you are?

Is it supposed to be some sort of feeling you get? Are you all of the sudden supposed to realize how to act and have this real sense of self? I like to think that I got a late start in the “real world.” I always idolized people on TV who seemed to know who […]
