I live with a room mate. It's a smart thing to do I suppose. It's cool because, you get to live with a cool buddy, and divide your bills in half -- half the rent, half the power bill, half the cable bill: It's good stuff! Well, my room mate is in a...

I don't think about being 109. I think it's wonderful and I keep asking, "How much longer?" I want to stay here. I want to see who the next president is going to be and what's going on in schools. I'm very curious. And I think that curiosity is one of...

Well, here I am doing something I never dreamed I'd do. I'm joining a social network site on the internet. I'm still having a hard time understanding just what the internet is. In my day, if you couldn't feel it, touch it, or build it, it didn't exist!...

I know the college basketball season has started. And I didn't have to check a schedule, or ask a friend. All I had to do was stand outside my house and listen for the yelling. My husband and I are both graduates of Syracuse University. We are...

In the third grade I wanted to be "somebody" and thought I could sing and dance my way to stardom. When asked for voice lessons, my Dad asked me to "try out" for him and my Mother at 7pm that night. I worked all day on my rendition of "Sunny", dressed up...
