It Is Time To Help Those In Need
UNITED STATES─It is that time of year, where people’s hearts and wallet open in a way that it doesn’t transpire any other time of the year. I can never fully grasp why the months of November and December see Americans more generous than any other time of the year, beyond it being the holidays. With that being said, I...
Black Friday Game Plan 101
UNITED STATES─It is almost here America, the happiest time of the year for most Americans, including myself. No, I’m not talking about Thanksgiving or Christmas, I’m referring to Black Friday. Some people might be living under a rock when it comes to Black Friday. The term was coined because it was a reflection of the one day during the...
Making The Most Of Free Time
UNITED STATES─America let’s have a blunt conversation; how often do you have free time in your schedule. If you’re asking me it’s rare, and when I have free time, it’s only one day during the week, which is Saturday. Saturday tends to be a busy day for me as I’m running around like a chicken with his head chopped...
Veterans Matter
UNITED STATES─It is hard to fathom that we only take one day out of the 364 days we have in the year to pay our tribute and gratitude to the people who risked their lives for us to enjoy the freedoms that we take for granted. Yes, Monday, November 11, 2019, we celebrated Veteran’s Day. It is a day...
Budgets Are Not Easy To Stick To
UNITED STATES—Budget. Yes that is a very scary word for many Americans. We do not like to hear the word budget or the thought of having to be restricted to a specific budget, but it has more benefits for us than we can imagine. How so? When you budget you get the opportunity to see precisely where your money...
Excessive Shopping
UNITED STATES—Do you know some people who shop too much? I guess the first question we have to ask is what is considered excessive shopping. I would argue visiting the mall or your favorite big box once a week is not excessive. On the flip side, if you’re at the mall or that place seven days a week you...
What To Do With All That Candy?
UNITED STATES—Halloween is now far beyond us, and many Americans are beginning to prepare for Thanksgiving amongst other chaos for the fall. There is one piece of business we still have to deal with: all that Halloween candy. Some might think it’s no big deal, but it is. Many kiddies are bursting with joy because they were delivered a...
Republicans Demanding Open Hearings – Be Careful What You Wish For
UNITED STATES—When Republican members of congress marched into the secure capitol basement SCIF room (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) where a Defense Department official was set to testify, it was an embarrassment to witness. Senator Lindsey Graham spouted off a colossal lie by saying Republicans have been shut out of the process, omitting the fact that 47 republicans have full...
Diet Changes Are Not That Easy
UNITED STATES—I am trying my hardest to be healthy when it comes to eating. The thing about eating healthy is you’re told one thing by this study, this doctor or some report, but then come to find out weeks later you should not be doing this or that. It is just frustrating and annoys me to the core. Why?...
Environmentally Conscious
UNITED STATES—I like to think that I am someone who is environmentally conscious. Am I a global advocate to save the planet from wasteful resources? Not quite, but I do my part the best I can to ensure I’m not wasteful in the world’s natural resources. That is the one thing I learned in my environmental biology and geology...
