Things to turn down for...

I thought I would help all of humankind by compiling a list of what a person should turn down for.  In order to do so, I conducted extensive research over the past couple of months.  It is with great excitement that I reveal this list now.

Know yourself (or at least your pizza)

I wrote this in October of 2003.  A lot has happened since then, some of it involving pizza and wings.

I don't particularly mind ordering pizzas. In fact, sometimes I enjoy it. It's not the actual call that fascinates me, of course, but more so it's the knowledge that the call will soon turn itself into actual food. It is this transformation (phone call into food) that makes our country what it is today, and could also be responsible for the popularity in replacing the letter 'f' in words with 'ph,' such as in the sentence, "This is so phat, man." And, of course, in that particular example, the fatness -- or phatness -- may be a result of the pizza…

Nevertheless, my reason for this topic has nothing to do with any of this. Rather, I wanted to discuss the conversation I had the other day with the person on the other end of the pizza delivery process. Upon asking if they offered chicken as a topping, she replied, "I don't kno…

Sometimes I talk to myself

Best Keurig® K-Cup® Fall Coffee Recipes!

I have recently become frustrated with something at doughnut establishments, and I'm not referring to the scones, although -- seriously -- just think about the writing possibilities if I were. Rather, it's the tip cup that bothers me...

Yogi: That's right, I am.

Smokey: Me too.

OnlineDegree.com changes the face of college education

Image
When I first heard about OnlineDegree.com and its claim that it allows students of all ages to finish their first year of college for free, I was expectedly skeptical.  However, after reading the information on the site, watching its videos and checking out its endorsements, I could clearly see that this program can save people thousands of dollars.

For those who are still trying to figure out their career options, the site offers a lot of career information as well as the platform for users to get information on certain careers once it becomes available.  The sign-up process only takes a minute, and from there potential students can learn about the many courses -- all free! -- that can be transferred to over a thousand colleges and universities, with an expanding list of many more.  I recommend watching the site's introductory video here: https://www.onlinedegree.com/how-it-works/.

There are no hidden fees, and students can work at their own pace to complete courses.  Since the s…
