Our kids don’t know how to speak!!

When my children were young, I would constantly correct their grammar. They would complain bitterly, but I kept doing it. Today, without exception, they thank me over and over and are now correcting their children’s grammar.
I am, frankly, disgusted at the incredibly bad grammar I hear all of the time. Even our President, in making [...]

Who will sign the death certificate??

Well,  just when Grandpa died you might have thought we were through with medical bureaucracy issues. From my last blog post you will remember Grandpa was ushered out of the hospital only to die within 2 hrs of discharge.

Credit card companies

How much sense does it make for the credit card companies to unilaterally raise interest rates to a level of usuary (in my opinion) when people are struggling in an extremely challenging economy? It is a complete recipe for further disaster. We bail out the banks, so they can stick it to us with their [...]
