Lawn Poop
Good Gawd!!! There is so MUCH that annoys me at this moment. I’d like to cry in frustration and rage that The Donald is the very best the GOP can do. “They” must have the lowest possible opinion of … Continue reading

Sales Semantics
Everyone and their uncles would like to believe they serve “clients”. Customers are so old school and tacky, not nearly as refined as hoity-toity clients. Spare me. Lawyers and accountants serve clients. Medical professions serve patients. Retailers serve consumers. The … Continue reading

My View
I grew up on the east coast. My family lived about 100 feet from the water. My husband’s family home was in the same proximity to the bay. We can’t afford to live on the ocean now. We work for … Continue reading
