There's something strange about the whole Tiger Woods accident, when you read CNN it says:Police Chief Daniel Saylor said two Windermere police officers were the first to arrive on the scene."There was Tiger Woods laying on the ground in front of the vehicle with his wife over him rendering first aid," he told reporters."He was in and out of consciousness with lacerations to his upper and lower

I don't normally cross post, but I thought this post that I wrote on Glass City Jungle this morning might interest some of the readership here as well...I saw this headline on WTOL then did some further searching to see if additional information was reported. The basics:WASHINGTON (AP) - The divorce rate in the armed forces increased slightly again in the past year as military marriages

A Happy Thanksgiving to those of you out there in blog land. Ours was a bit lower key than normal with the work schedules of some of my bunch and the fact that my oldest daughter was not able to come home for Thanksgiving. While many are focusing on stuffing their turkeys, she's been getting ready to stuff shipping boxes since she's moving from the San Jose area to the Phoenix area because of

Not that many listened, but one of the concerns I had during the whole presidential election process was that too many believed as is quoted in this piece by E.J. Dionne that then presidential candidate was "capable of parting raging seas" -- the unrealistic expectations created by the Obama campaign that people were silly enough not to be able to separate reality from campaign rhetoric. And now

Telemarketing has gotten a bad rap, but the reality is most of those who work in a call center environment deal with inbound calls versus outbound calls. While many of these jobs have moved over seas, there still are quite a few companies that use call center operations from here in the United States. With many companies trying to cut back on staff actually employed by them, subcontracting the

There are days when the day to day dealing with people of this area that don't seem interested in moving towards the positive but appear to be determined to actually make things more difficult than they need to be gets tiring. While perhaps the grass always seems greener on the other side of the septic tank, I admit it's appealing at times to think about just calling up some cross country movers

Or is it? There are two items that I think should be pointed out, first it's being reported that the earth has not warmed at all in the past decade but the sea level is rising because of ice melt in Greenland. Does this mean the end of global warming as a theory? Not completely, since it was based on more than mean temperature, it was also measured on co2. Ten minutes from Al Gore that makes

Despite an election period that would make almost any blogger have dark eye circles under her eyes, I'm almost to the point where I'm caught up. I am working on several stories that have involved quite a bit of research which is part of the reason I have not been blogging here as much as I'd like. I'm still behind on emails, but I'm slowllyyyy getting caught up on those too.:-)

One of the things that always amazed me was that health insurance companies will pay for Viagra and other male products designed to help a man have a sex life but the coverage is not equal when it comes to birth control. Let's look at the statement that's created some political outrage: In promoting the House health bill, New Jersey Democrat Frank Pallone made reference to discrimination by

Still in word association mode, if you saw something for Dansko shoes would you think of dancing? I did, and I was wrong, they actually have a rather nice line of a variety of shoes, not related to dancing either. I'm a fan of clogs, they have some nice ones for both men and women. I do have to say though, as a huge fan of red boots, they had some nice boots, but no red...They do however have

Sometimes words/products make me think, let's say as an example it's popular to tout different types of natural fat burner yet, they don't call ones that are not from nature, "unnatural fat burners" -- what if they did? Would visions of witchcraft dance in your heads? Some magical unnatural presence appears to make the fat go *poof*? Ancient shamans appearing at your doorstep to make the fat

I'm not sure if I believe that Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan yelled "Allahu Akbar" as he went on his recent murder spree at Fort Hood or not, I'm hesitant to automatically believe it since it's not been confirmed and it's not as if the initial reports of the shooting were accurate. It was initially stated the gunman was "neutralized" and it was believed more than one person was involved. I do not

I'm the only "real" wine drinker in the family, it something I learned to enjoy thanks to my father as far as tasting the different varieties and cooking with wine. Which means while I have a nice collection of wine glasses, they are regulated outside of my kitchen since it is so small. However, when I started to do some online browsing, I did not realize that some of the wine glass racks for

It was a semi-disappointing local election season. Some of those I would have liked to have see won did, but some of those I really hoped wouldn't win did...I was busier this time than previous elections, in part because in typical Lisa style, I tried to do everything I was doing before the political season ramped up and to be perfectly honest, Glass City Jungle has become a full time job in

I don't wear makeup on a regular basis, and I really don't stop to think much about acne treatments, or at least I didn't, but now I've discovered that for some reason, as luck would have it when I am getting ready to be taped for my Rant & Rave, I'll have one pimple that decides to rear it's ugly head...Which means I "borrow" one of the girl's make up since I haven't had any of my own in years.

It's amazing with everything going on in the world that there would be a ten page focus on the Obama's marriage...but there is. Which includes the President's complaint that he can't fly his wife with him to New York to enjoy a Broadway show without it becoming political.Welcome to the presidency...

Our car has become a daytimer, which means it can only be driven during the day since something happened and the rear tail lights no longer work. It's not the bulbs, those have been replaced/tested and the brake lights as well as the turn signals work. It's not the fuses, those have been checked. It's really strange problem that so far the only thing that has been suggested could be the

That caught my attention as a headline, Peres: 'There Will Be Peace With the Palestinians' in my news reader. So, I headed over to read the three page article, thinking it would contain something new, or something that indicated that Israel's position had changed.Some of the discussion centered around the Goldstone report, that acknowledges reality, both Israel and Hamas have done horrible

Yes, I'm a blogger and I have seven blogs, but when it comes to cell phones? I'm still a purist and a novice at heart, just recently breaking down and learning how to text message to the amusement of my family. Why? Because even though I've heard that iPhone's rock and that you can use an iphone dock, I don't want to take the internet with me with as much time as I spend on it when I am home.

If you like classic concerts I recommend checking out Wolfgang's Vault. I've been a member for quite some time (it's free) and right now I'm listening to an amazing concert from Byrds in 1970 that took place in San Fransisco, I have quite a few favorite songs, but one is "Positively 4th Street" which really fits right now with the local political drama I've been going through.

One advantage of the days I work from home is that no one can see when I've stayed up too late, gotten up too early and have to deal with dark circle under the eye syndrome...Today is one of those days.
