My Computer Loves Me…It Loves Me Not

Most of us have a love/hate relationship with our computers. We rely on them to work, shop and bank. We depend on them for important research data or fun and mindless information.

The Lesson Is In The Journey

Written on September 10, 2008 at 6:00 pm, by Margo

Personally, I don’t think it matters one bit where your degree comes from-it is the discipline you learn along the way to getting that piece of paper which makes you a more valuable employee, spouse, boss and human being. Having a degree is like passing that difficult math class when mathematics is not even your major. You may never use the math again, but it gives you excellent character to persevere and finish what you started.

One of my favorite holiday gift-giving traditions started with my extended family way back when. We call it Penny Christmas. It’s kinda like a glorified white elephant/flea market gift swap.
