Winter clothes are already on sale here in the SW, so I've picked up a few children's size clothes at Kohl's. Price range was $3 to $6. These are...

Don't forget the Active Shooter drills …. :(

If we're trading anecdotes, here's a timely one from the local newspaper this week. A 2016 Teacher of the Year says, "This is my 27th year as a...

I continue to be surprised at this too. Overall, their anger about the way their taxes is spent is justified, it's just misdirected.

Rob, I'll be curious about your experience. I've mentioned that I have a relative living in a small house in central Phx which we'll turn into a...

Does anyone seriously think that teachers are making great salaries? Check out this state-by-state list of starting salaries and average salaries. ...

CathyA, I had the same response as Zoe Girl. At the start of menopause my eyes were watering but at the same time felt dry. Had to use eye drops...

One of the things I miss living here in Phoenix is watching the antics of squirrels. Although we have a wonderful variety of birds, especially in...

Saw The Wife starring Glenn Close. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3750872/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Was disappointed in that I could foresee the whole story...

Catherine, this made me laugh out loud. I guess the equivalent is wearing expensive designer clothes that advertise that you like to "Live...

corkym, Adding my condolences to those already expressed here. I've never been widowed but I'm wondering if there is a support group for...

Very interesting. I had no idea that there were math calculations involved for this advanced diving. Your 50th birthday trip sounds like it will be...

Same here, Rogar. I have fainted before when techs tried to take my blood for my own medical check-ups, so unfortunately I can't donate blood or...

silly moo, We had the same thing happen to us with a hawk. It swooped down and got a dove in our backyard. What I didn't know is that hawks don't...
