Get Funding for Your Business the Right Way

One of the difficulties in starting a new business is getting working capital. If small business loans are something that you are researching, you should know that you can obtain one in only one to three weeks at EZUnsecured. No collateral is necessary, and approval only takes one to three days. A great advantage of [...]

Speaking of Berries

I have a colleague whose partner just died from cancer. It sucks on so many levels, one of which is that they’ve been together like 25 years and since my colleague is an lesbian in this little town, she can’t grieve as openly as she could if it had been a husband who had died. [...]

The Way to Move

The last time I moved, it was an awful experience. I rented a truck at the last minute, and got a couple of guys from the day labor place to help me. Besides just being generally incompetent, they broke my dryer and stole my son’s allowance from his drawer. Next time, things are going to [...]

Photo by Jeff Kubina I just have to complain. I’ve been trying to have healthier things in the house for Sage and I to eat. Good grief it’s expensive! We stopped by the HFS, and it was $20 for some almond butter and a couple of snacks that Sage wanted. But the thing that really [...]

My Antisocial Cat

Varmint really hates most people and other living things, which is a shame for Sage, who wishes that the kitty liked him. It’s interesting how cats are born with their personalities, just like people. She was a tiny little starving thing when I brought her home. She’s always been nice to me, but has never [...]

A Time of Reckoning

Last night, G. asked me how many Bionicles I had bought Sage over the years. I really have no idea. I don’t even want to think about it. There is one huge plastic box and one big basket filled with Bionicle parts. So this morning, G. decided that they would put them all together and [...]

More Geography Stuff!

If anyone else out there also teaches geography, I’ve just found a great site! It’s My Wonderful World, and it has scads of information and links, including a very interesting blogroll. I found it over at Planet Nomad, whose author has actually been to Mauritania, which strangely enough, is something that G. and I disagreed [...]

A Hard Question

Today in class we talked about the presidential race. The kids were just beyond apathetic, as in, “Why do we have to learn about this stuff”, except for a couple who are pretty pro Obama. However, as we started talking about the different candidates and their platforms, they became more interested. Then the inevitable question [...]

Bullying

Man, I am going crazy! Just when I think I’ve decided on a course of action, a situation comes up. Sage told me about a whole bunch of bullying behaviors that he is experiencing today. Of course I immediately emailed his teachers, but I just really hate to hear it. I know that bullying is [...]

Does Calling Your Cat “Sweetums” Mean You’re Anti-Social?

Science Daily has this article that basically says that people who are socially isolated are more likely to humanize their animals. I don’t agree with this at all. I’ve met some very sociable people who treat their pet like one of the family. Perhaps I’m being defensive, since I definitely tend to ascribe human-like characteristics [...]
