HELP! I’VE FORGOTTEN MY PASSWORD AND CAN’T GET IN!
Honestly, if I have to create one more user ID or come up with one more stupid password that involves a capital letter, a number and 3 naked elves I’m gonna scream. (Never mind. I just did). Took me 10 minutes searching through my 11 pages of passwords to find what I was looking for… Read more

DON’T WORRY
Do you know that they’ve done studies which PROVE over 90% of what we worry about NEVER happens! I’ve even READ the studies, so I ask you, why did I wake up at 5 AM this morning worried about my teenagers? Because I figure, MY worries are in that 10%. Go figure. Now, I admit,… Read more

THUMBS UP!!!
When I first started driving, Granny cautioned me NOT to pick up hitchhikers. “You just never know,” she warned. I disobeyed her, but only once.
