For the most part it seems to add a [...]

Is Gexa Energy Price Gouging?

Decide for yourself after reading this. It started when I opened the monthly electric bill and found it to be over $600. This was about twice the largest bill ever, so it got my attention. Upon investigation I noticed usage was up – no surprise as it had been cold in December, but the real [...]

Signs Of The Times

No one can possibly be unaware we’re in a tough economic time, either through job loss, financial loss, or just from the news. What I find interesting are the more subtle indicators and things that don’t make the news.

Government Shocks Financial Institutions & Offers Hope To Defaulters With Large Mortgages

How Airport TSA Rules Affect Brand Loyalty

For those who may not have attempted airline travel recently, this has to do with the ever-changing rules foisted on travelers by the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA). Specifically the requirements regarding personal care items that may not be included in carry-on luggage.   
As of this writing you can’t bring aboard any liquids, gels or aerosols in [...]

Adams Golf Club Driver

After finally conceding I’m never going to play enough golf to get as good as I’d like to be, I broke down and got an over-sized driver as a shortcut way to improve my game. Yes, late to the dance, but hey the driver I had was still serviceable and I’m frugal (okay, cheap). Anyway, [...]
