I never could understand in my 4th grade math class and my 5th grade math class why the teachers seemed to think that girls weren’t any good at math. Maybe they were just of the “older generation” that thought that boys were good in math but bad in language skills and that girls were the opposite. [...]

My brother-in-law has agreed to take me to the local shooting range this weekend in an effort to show me what I need to do to learn how to shoot the 22 that my father left me years ago when he passed away. I have never learned how to shoot a weapon before and am [...]

There’s actually a good lesson to this funny commercial I saw on youtube. It is easy to jump to the wrong conclusion! People should get all the facts before passing judgement!

When I was in high school, girls were not expected to do well in math. Most of the girls never even took Algebra 1, let alone Algebra 2! As for me, well math was never my favorite subject, but I always got an A in every math class I ever took. I had plans to [...]

I can remember when I took Statistics in college. The professor was very interesting and used a lot of visual aides and hands on examples. One of the great things about him was that he had written the text that we were using, so he knew exactly what he wanted to teach. He put everything [...]

I was very disappointed when I heard that the MSMoney software that I use to keep track of my finances was going to stop producing new versions and stop supporting the current ones. They sent out notices, suggesting that people switch to Quicken. I loved my MSMoney program. It let me forecast as far in [...]

A friend on Facebook posted this video on Facebook, and I found it on youtube so I could share it with you. I think that is one of the most awesome videos I’ve seen in a long time! I hope you agree!

One of the things that really aggravates me is how so many credit cards send out balance transfer offers, suggesting that you use the checks for debt consolidation. The reason that it aggravates me is that if you use one of those checks for debt consolidation, it ends up hurting your credit rating. Once your [...]

When my kids were in high school, I remember spending many evenings at the kitchen table with them, going over their homework and helping them figure out what they needed to do. Most of the time they needed Math help. I never loved the subject, personally, but I learned enough about it when I was [...]

I can remember back in the 80′s when I was a newlywed, and my hubby worked for a local coin and stamp business. There was a financial crisis and all of a sudden people were selling their gold and silver like crazy! I can remember helping out at the store for several days (I can’t believe [...]

In this challenging economic environment, more and more people are losing their jobs. Looking for a new job is really difficult. Most businesses are trimming their workforce, not expanding it! That’s why a lot of people are looking into starting their own business. One of the biggest challenges in starting up a small business is [...]

One of the greatest things about the Internet is how it is empowering consumers world wide. I can remember that it wasn’t very long ago that the consumer was at the mercy of their local automobile repair shops. I can remember watching a lot of television news reports about consumers being ripped off by automobile [...]

It sure would be handy to be able to translate presentations, instructions, and even questionnaires from your native language [...]

I’ve been trying to do a little bit of research on cosmetics and personal care products over the past few years. I became interested in the subject when I took a course in college several years ago where I learned that so many of our cosmetics and personal care products were tested on animals. We [...]

I remember when I was struggling in school, mainly with Math, Algebra, Trigonometry my mom hired this elderly lady to come over to the house twice a week for Homework help. She really was a very nice old lady, her hands shook something fierce and she smelled much like a dead animal most of the time and [...]
