These days if you watch the modern version of Let’s Make A Deal with Wayne Brady, you know that the show announces on Twitter what they will be looking for during the Purse Game segment every day. But, back in… Continue Reading
Have you realized how many blogs there are out there? Just take a swing through Pinterest and Blogher (a great source) and you will totally be inundated with blog after blog. And if we are being honest, not all are created… Continue Reading
Our last discussion on depression was the product of trying to find reason after yet another person-of-note succumbed to it. Our last post, which still remains beautifully accurate, was really written in the heat of the moment. We both agreed that we… Continue Reading
