There are just so many horror stories in the news daily, finding something that isn't depressing has been quite a chore.

However, I had to look outside of my usual haunts and I am happy to report that I found one such story, a story that's kinda funny and a bit unbelievable.

While standing on the customer service line in 'ToysRUs', I overheard a discussion between a customer and a Service Rep.  The young woman was checking to see whether her bicycle had been assembled and

Many of us ... for numerous reasons, are looking for employment that can be done from home.  Yahoo posted an article recently, that listed 10 jobs that 'fit that bill'.


The article covered a wide range of occupations that encompassed not only professional's in the field of mental health, but also positions for those that fancy 'not only' cooking and catering but management consulting and web design.


So, I jotted down the link ... thought some of you, might  be interested in a 'look n see'.

10 Jobs That You Can Do From Home

Just finished reading an article about our banks (U.S) and how they are dealing with the changes that they are being forced to make.  For instances ... reduction or elimination of the exorbitant overdraft fee's and interest rates on credit cards.


You would think they would approach the problem by focusing on in-house clean-ups ... because as with any biz, there are many area's where unnecessary wasted resources exist, but noooo.  What they are planning on doing, which really isn't that surprising ... will be to

Hmmmn, now this latest incident is a bit surreal.  It seems that 2 young fellows apparently are convinced that joining a jihadist group and engaging in massive killings and mayhem would be the highlight of their lives.  From what I've read about remarks these guys have been reported as saying, they sound like children running around playing grown up games.  Otherwise, why would anyone planning something so nefarious, broadcast their intentions publicly.


Now there have always been out-spoken young adults-especially college students that have chosen to 'challenge the system' for numerous reasons...

Did you ever glance at something from the corner of your eye, and briefly acknowledge it and vow to come back to it...only to totally forget to return.

Well, that happened to me the other day ... I had seen this article about smoking and tree's and both topics do spark loads of emotions for me.  Not only because of the environmental impact the production and smoking of cig's has had on the eco-system but also the consequences smoking has had on the lives of those that have indulged ... and their families.

Palin is supposedly having a hissy fit over her next door neighbor, to be perfectly honest...when it involves her...I just don't know what to believe.  She has always appeared to me, to thrive on public attention and yet again, she is getting it.

Oh, before I forget to mention this...the home next to hers was rented by Joe McGinnis...'the author who moved next door'.  Anyway, she has filed charges against him as a stalker ... those charges, by the way have been ignored by the Alaskan courts.

Summer's just around the corner and that all-consuming need to be tanned, browned and buffed will dominate the thoughts of the masses.  The buffed look is just fine, exercise is a good thing and can only lead to improved health, possible weight loss and a more positive and productive mental attitude.  However, rethinking these tanning beds and the risks that come with them, should be considered.


The search for quick fixes lead folks to incorporate unhealthy devices, treatments and concoctions to reach that end.

The other day, I came across an article about '2' incredible 'legends in tennis', the phenomenal sister tennis PROs...Selena and Venus Williams...and their simply amazing an ground breaking tennis fashion line.


Just couldn't resist sharing pictures of some of the most unique, colorful and one of a kind outfits that they have introduced to the tennis world. 

It's quite possible that my fervor isn't shared by any of the traditional tennis enthusiast, but from a fashion viewpoint, their outfits are dazzling.  And those that are displayed below, are only the 'tip of the iceburg'.

And I am not guilty of using the term Legends In Tennis loosely, because they are Hall of Famer's. 

Earlier today, I was watching a video about how the economy has impacted the dynamics of Las Vegas.  Many jobs have been lost and many people that should be enjoying the 'Golden Years' have been forced to remain or re-enter the work-force.

Although I have never been a gambler, I realized LV represented an unimaginable amount of excess, waste and risk.  Please don't get me wrong, if you got it like that then go for it.  I just never had enough money to even begin to imagine myself at a table, the chances of winning were just to slim... simply put-what little I had, I wasn't about to just give away.

At times, I come across articles that spark an interest, they provoke a response.  And although most times, I would rather overlook them, there are those times that I just give in and comment.

So, this column is just a collection of my personal opinions about articles that have caught my eye, grabbed my attention and lead to post.
