Point of View

UNITED STATES—It has been a question that I’ve debated for years and I get plenty of blow back from people that I know all the time. Is a job that requires mental strength more exhaustive than a job that requires physical strength? It is a very loaded question and to be honest there is no clear-cut right or wrong...

UNITED STATES—I sometimes have to ask myself why do some people tell some of the most outrageous lies? I mean I hate to even say this as an adult, but I understand why we sometimes lie. We want to protect people or in some odd psychology we want to cover our bases, but at the end of the day...

UNITED STATES—Summer has arrived, and for many Americans the notion of taking a vacation has kicked into full gear. I always wondered why so many people waited until the summer months to take time off. I think I’ve figured out the answer. What is it? It’s quite, simple, the weather is warm and kids are out of school. Look,...

UNITED STATES—Gambling has come a long way since the days of Bugsy Siegel. Now, thanks to the progressive and innovative nature of the industry, we have seen Las Vegas become one of the most popular cities to visit, the growth of slot games and the dominance of online gambling.

UNITED STATES—“Star Wars’” version of a death star is a space station with super weapons capable of destroying an entire planet.

Now, Medicaid wants to be reimbursed for over $125,000...

UNITED STATES—There are those people who have the luxury of purchasing items without having to worry about price, but then there are those of us who make it our mission to find a good deal at all costs. Look, you can still get high-quality items at a great price. There are so many people who think you have to...

UNITED STATES—This has become a bit of a pet peeve of mine for years, and I know I’m not the only person. Why is it when people have a conversation on their cell phone, blue tooth or mobile device they have this need to be louder than normal? You could be at the bank, the post office, a restaurant,...

UNITED STATES—In a few short days, summer will officially kick-off in my eyes because Memorial Day and the official start of grill season is underway. Summer brings so many great things and bad things at the same time. For starters, everyone wants to have that beach body in tip top shape. That means you might have been in doors...

UNITED STATES—Hi Toni, I am turning 65 this August and have no idea what I should do because I have lung cancer. Currently, I am on a COBRA policy from my old employer with all my medical bills now being paid because I have met my deductible. I receive all of my care from MD Anderson and am currently taking...
