It is the time of the year when insurance companies calculate their rates for the upcoming year. When you are on Medicare your choices are limited and vary greatly by state. In Massachusetts where I now live, the options are actually only two that write in my county. Everyday on television and on

So I am driving along and all of a sudden bells and warnings flashing on my dashboard. All four tires may be low ......check pressure and then reset something in someplace. I will call the place I bought my Audi Q5 tomorrow and get in to have it checked. Meanwhile it scared the s_it out of me.

I find when I am in a funk and I look around I get inspired. It isn't always something major. More often than not I see someone doing something small but it matters and I have a new view and direction for at least a little while. This morning it happened to me again. I was in the grocery store an

As a kid I was bullied. I didn't have a name for it back then, but in retrospect I know. I made it through but it was hard and I never really discussed it with my parents. Years later while in my first government job it happened again. I left that job and was denied benefits due to me. It was mea

I am trying really hard to not comment on the world and those here who run it. It is getting more and more difficult to stay quiet. Yesterday I thought I would lose it, but managed to bite my tongue until it bleed. Soon I am afraid I won't be able to eat either and that is just a fact in my life.

This week I am highlighting an item in my antique space that melted my heart when I saw and subsequently bought it. This sweeet pup is actually a door stop. He is whimsical and useful and it is hard not to smile when looking at him. I call him Morris and he has sparkling and yet soft eyes and cut
