Good Night, Friend-Bea Arthur, You Will be Missed!

The great comedian and feminist Bea Arthur died April 25 and she will be greatly missed. Her sharp wit made one laugh hard and think critically about women's issues at the same time. She was a success on television for very many obvious reasons, moving from hit to hit-first appearing on All In the Family, […]

You May Buy My Product, But You Cannot Buy Me!

I have worked in retail off and on for a long time, which unfortunately-as anyone who has worked in retail knows-means that I have been abused for a long time. Sears is no exception, but fortunately I have coworkers that make me feel comfortable and that told me that they would throw out any customers […]

There is Strength in Happiness Too!

"What doesn't kill you, will make you stronger," is good advice that one probably hears often, but lately I have found that strength can be found in happiness too.

Soup and Picasa
