Seeded on Fri Sep 9, 2011 5:19 PM EDT (Blogspot)
Etsy has been changing and losing handcrafters for years. Complaints include frequently changing their TOS, not the least being increasing their fees. With all that I have read and seen, I'm not surprised to learn of another hard-working defector.& …
Louisiana lets payday loans flourish
Seeded on Sun Aug 21, 2011 11:59 AM EDT (NOLA.com)
In Louisiana, it's more convenient to get a payday loan than a Big Mac. That's because there are four times as many payday loan outlets as McDonald's restaurants. While a steady diet of Big Macs will pile the pounds on, a steady diet of payday loans can put you in bankruptcy.

Seeded on Mon Aug 1, 2011 5:23 PM EDT (Our State Magazine)

Mon Jul 4, 2011 3:53 PM EDT
A few years ago I planted some freesia bulbs in the iris bed in front of the house. Only one seemed to come up so I watched as the stem and leaves formed. I looked at the tag from the package and freesia has blades, not leaves.

Wed May 25, 2011 10:11 AM EDT

Moderating Seeds/Articles: Keeping It Simple
Wed May 25, 2011 8:27 AM EDT
I have always learned best by doing. Instruction, especially written, frankly puts me in a coma. So I hope this doesn't come off like that. I most certainly am not qualified to tell anyone how to do anything here.

Will Non-Whites Shun Trump And Reject Apprentice En Masse?
Tue May 17, 2011 8:01 AM EDT
My reason for deciding to shun Trump and anything with which he has to do is not only because he's been needlessly harassing Obama. It's because the little credibility that he has had with me has plummeted. Recently he has confirmed his unprofessionalism, his rudeness, …

Drew Carey: Nice To The Models
Mon May 16, 2011 10:15 PM EDT
I really like Drew Carey and his mumbling dry wit. He's a really good host for The Price Is Right. He often takes time to speak to the models. He sometimes asks their opinions about the prizes. He even draws them into short conversations sometimes. …

Trump's Celebrity Apprentice: The Usual Hodgepodge
Tue Mar 8, 2011 11:58 AM EST
I've never much watched The Celebrity Apprentice, and I've never enjoyed it as much as I did Sunday night. John and Jon worked the street like a well-oiled promotional tag team. Niki pumped out pizzas like she was born into the family business.

Tue Mar 8, 2011 10:19 AM EST
ABC has scheduled another tear-jerker, at least for me, in the prime-time slot while the upcoming season of Extreme Home Makeover is being shot. Sure enough I was brought to tears over the fortune of the recipients of the checks.
