It’s never too late to do some learning. That’s what I always say, that is why I went back to school and became a certified personal trainer and nutrition specialist. There is always more learning to be done. When I told my son that he would have to learn how to play football he cried. [...]

There are several issues to consider when using the kitchen towel. One of the problems that most people have, is that they continually use a dirty towel. I have never completely understood why people continually use a dirty kitchen towel, or why it is even dirty in the first place (besides maybe accidently wiping up [...]

As you may know, I like to keep the electric bill as low as possible, for as long as possible. I will not turn on the AC or the heat for that matter. My goal is December 1st for the heat and June 1st for the AC. This goal works well when we can shut [...]
