Ah…the amazing ignorance of our youth at times, it appears a 19 year old London man did not realize that showing of his 140 mph driving on You Tube would get him in trouble.
It never ceases to amaze me when I visit some of the MySpace pages of my older children’s friends the [...]

I think most of us enjoy winning prizes, especially when there is no string attached and to play doesn’t even require spending a great deal of money to only end up with a prize that ends up as a garage sale item. I have had quite a bit of fun playing at Bid4Prizes trying [...]

Yes, it’s probably the hippy in me but I’ve always thought going to the Burning Man would be one heck of an adventure. I’ve followed it in years past and spent time viewing pictures from previous years events. It seems someone tried to get things started early or there was some kind of [...]
