Working with the public is a great way to find out whether or not you have homicidal tendencies. I have been in sales and customer service since I started working at 16. What I find most interesting is how my perspective has changed.
Working part time in a grocery store as a teenager may not have been […]

Asians seeking to minimize their ethnic look and mainstream their features are not new. Many people with ethnic noses have been having rhinoplasty, and women with smaller buttocks have been having implants in their butt to get a J.Lo look.

In California, child support is supposed to be paid by the parent with more income to make the living situation in both homes where the child is living, ostensibly in joint custody situations or if the child is living with just one parent, equalized.
There is a formula that is put into an equation called […]

Today I went to the 14th annual DeLand Fall Festival of the Arts. We’ve come a long way. When I moved here in 1979, this town was Podunk Central. There were a couple of grocery stores, one tiny movie theater, a drug store and that was IT. Now we have restaurants and fast food joints […]

Some moms need a little direction on how to teach/coach/guide their teenage sons in regard to grooming issues and why they are so important. If you’re one of those mom’s, this one’s for you…
MANDATORY MATTERS
When it comes to good grooming habits and personal

November 17, 2006 (Posted at 5:47 pm)

Dinner time is important. It is important for the family and it is important for the child’s development.
How the food gets to the table is not as important as getting food to the table and getting everyone to the table at the same time for a meal a day.

I’m afraid the Federlines will have to wait their turn to be the subjects of my rantings. Tonight I am more irritated by other lines–the ones at Best Buy, Circuit City, and wherever else they sell PlayStation 3. And NOT, I assure you, because I was standing in one. What in the name of all that is sane are […]

Mascara should be the last makeup you apply. Apply one coat, let it dry then apply
another. Start at the base of the lashes, wiggle the wand horizontally a few times, and

By April Masini
November 16, 2006 (Posted at 8:29 am)

It makes perfect sense that the night before Thanksgiving would be a big bar night. The reasons are that most people have no work or school the following day, so they can sleep late. The following day, Thanksgiving, is devoted to family, so it’s easy to want to hang out with the guys or the […]

There is nothing in my world that beats a good book. I love all kinds of writing but my favorite is funny with a poignant patch here and there. Right now I’m re-reading Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris. This guy is an amazingly funny and clever writer.
Several years ago I read […]
