money – money – money – money
Everywhere – it’s everywhere. Talk, talk, talk… the economy, jobs, bailouts, recession, buyouts, loans, failures, credit, money, money, money. My husband’s in the swimmingpool business. In the Pacific Northwest. We know about the downturn. Got the memo this past summer – it wasn’t really a banner year. But you know… this country’s been in a […]...

Okay, so…
this is funny… I was browsing the news and the headline: “Is Oprah Biased?” jumped out at me. I just had to laugh. The question was asked by an ABC News journalist. I think my mama would have said: “well, now, that’s like the pot calling the kettle black.” Well, or I would say that. […]...
