After I posted my article about the the TracFone cell phone plan, I was rather surprised at all the enthusiastic responses! It makes me wonder if the no contract phones are putting a dent in […]

Maybe it’s in my face- that “look” that tells the street hawkers that I’m an easy one. Or maybe it’s in my demeanor, the way I walk that perhaps oozes motherly gullibility. Or maybe it’s my Upstate New York accent- we’re all hicks up here, lol. Whatever it is, I am a MAGNET for street […]

I haven’t seen my local weatherman THIS excited since the 1993 blizzard… I’m sorry that all you guys in the west and mid west and slightly mid west and west-east have suffered…. […]
