Tell me please, what is the most annoying television commercial you have ever heard? I am just about to write to Brooke Shields and ask her why the he&& she did that Volkswagen commercial. It is the most annoying commercial. It does not make sense. Would you go out and buy a VW just because […]

I am torn about whether to watch Oprah this afternoon. She is having guests that have been successful in business or made big money in some way. The reason I am torn is that she is interviewing Tony Hsieh, the CEO of Zappos. I don’t like Zappos ever since they let a good friend’s husband […]

This weeks topic at Heads or Tails is “Wire”. Bird on a wire popped into my head and I started thinking about birdcages. Who makes birdcages?

By now you have all heard the news that OJ Simpson finally got his just reward. I have always thought he killed Nicole Brown. Somehow the jury found him not guilty. The whole trial was an embarrassment to our judicial system. It was like a big party with all the television coverage. Who can forget […]

After church today, I got involved in a discussion about computers. My friend’s computer is dying a slow death. He went to the major brick and mortar stores in our area and paid an arm and a leg for upgrades to his computer’s memory. He also bought a new hard drive. If only I had […]
