Strange Special Offers from Fast Food Places

Target has an odd thing to check out as well. I’m not sure if any of these special offers will end up saving you money. That being said, they are interesting to take a look at anyway. Panda Express wants you to vote for your favorite kind of rice. Does your family prefer the Classic Fried Rice or the Brown Fried Rice? Cast … Continue reading

Can Dramatic Weight Loss Be Maintained?

I’ve seen countless talk shows and TV commercials showing various different celebrity-types who have lost twenty, thirty, fifty pounds . . . and just months later, seen their pictures in the tabloids, having put the weight back on. This phenomenon holds true for us regular folk, too—it’s just that more attention is paid to celebrities who “fail” at their diets because they’ve got the eyes of the paparazzi on them. For those who have lost a hundred pounds or more, the tendency is the same—they lose the weight and then for some reason, put the weight back on. Why is … Continue reading

Homeschoolers and the Great Subway Debacle

In the last two weeks, here has been a huge uproar in the homeschooling community. It seems that Subway, the restaurant that serves sandwiches, has snubbed homeschoolers by introducing a writing contest, and adding the stipulation that no homeschoolers were allowed to compete. Homeschoolers everywhere felt snubbed and insulted. Whether or not Scholastic, who sponsored the contest had a hand in the homeschool snub is another question altogether, but one should note that Scholastic sells learning materials to homeschoolers, while at the same time has “homeschooling” articles on its website that does more to discourage homeschooling than to encourage it. … Continue reading

Subway Stories

My cousin celebrated his 25th birthday in New York City last night. (He lives on Long Island so the excitement surrounding the event wasn’t derived from the location.) As you can imagine it was a late night and he ended up riding the subway to a friend’s home in Queens. When I spoke to him earlier today he was desperately trying to find his iPod. From what he can remember, it was still in his jacket pocket when he boarded the subway last night. But, this morning it was gone. Losing your iPod on a New York City subway… please! … Continue reading

New York City’s Subway—Hidden Danger

I’ve spent many, many hours riding the subways in New York, The El in Chicago, and MARTA in Atlanta and took a number of precautions in doing so. Mainly, watching my purse and my back, but now I’ve learned there’s another body part that we mass transit users should be guarding—our ears. According to a new study, as little as 30 minutes a day exposed to the high decibel levels of New York’s subway system could result in hearing loss — and wearing an iPod can increase the risk. Researchers from Columbia University found that exposure to the noise levels … Continue reading
