I fell for this one. Just the other day I wrote about being so excited because I was getting a new digital camera for Mother’s day (along with two great memory cards). Turns out I’m not getting a camera at all — at least not from the retail site we ordered it from.
I know we should have checked out this retail site before we made the purchase, but… >>Continue reading TECHONdigital's A Retail Scam
Read moreMother’s Day is approaching and this year I’m looking forward to my gift even more than usual because I already know what it is. I’m getting a new digital camera!

Read moreWhen someone sent me a shout about Lilly Ledbetter’s story over on Digg today, I learned a few new things I thought I’d share here. If you’re not familiar with Digg, you should be.

Not only was I glad to learn about Lilly Ledbetter’s story, I was also impressed with the idea of the website where her story is now a campaign where you and I can do something about it. >>Continue reading What's The Point?

If you want to hear that you can make thousands every week while you sleep, you’re in the wrong place.

Read moreI work at home on a desktop computer. I’m no corporate jet-setter. I have kids in elementary school, a myriad of pets, and a husband who travels for a living, so I don’t get out much. But these days, every now and then, I’m out and about or on a mini-vacation and I actually take some work with me (safely and quickly)!
Back in 2005 my husband suggested getting… >>Continue reading Taking Work With Me In A Flash

I know, it’s not exactly rocket science, but it just dawned on me today that I’m not the same person I was ten years ago.
