Perhaps you gals are sitting at work today waiting on that gorgeous bouquet of flowers to arrive on this day of love.  Guys may be waiting on the big "thanks, you're so sweet" phone call or text.  Happy Valentine's Day! Have you ever sent Valentine Flowers to yourself?  Ok, guys probably have not.  But 14 percent of women admit to calling a florist, telling the florist what sweet, syrupy

Man, remember the days before computers?  How did we survive?  I remember that every document that required type-written entries was a pain in the butt to do a second time if needed. Let's say for example you simply wanted to update your Resume.  HA!  You'd have to re-type it all over again, and then after the "do over", you'd find another pertinent group of words that needed inclusion. 

One career that will never take a backseat despite economic woes is in the field of Health Care. With people living longer today than ever before, the need will always be there to take care of the sick, and if you ever thought about an occupational change, Angelina College could have you taking blood pressure, and reading thermometers sooner than you may expect.

Did you notice all the women in the office looking a little droopy on Wednesday at 3:30pm?  That's precisely when women look their oldest, according to a new survey.  Every Wednesday afternoon, apparently the stress catches up with us gals and we look disheveled.  Oh, and Friday is the happiest day of the week.  It takes research to discover these things!

Texas is just plain license happy.  I recently blogged about a potential law, that if passed, will require exotic dancers to be licensed to......................DANCE? Now, someone else has brought to my attention, that statewide, under the thumb of Cosmetology, there is another fee that must be paid if you want to become...

Yesterday in a blog I mentioned women may be showing less skin at work because guys just can't handle the distraction caused when there is a lot of chest or leg showing. Here's why the reverse may happen. We've just learned that hot pants can burn calories! Those skin-tight pants that vary in length from about calf-length on the south side, to covering "just enough" up north, can actuall

At work! Guys are tired of sexy women at work. A new survey says guys are fed up with the hot pants, mini-skirts, and low-cut tops because it's just way too distracting and they're not getting any work done. What? This is news to us gals. And perhaps some guys too.

Being in broadcasting sometimes exposes you to the "Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" of the world, and I prefer to stay on the positive side of the career, and only alienate the negative when "ugly" rears its 'ugly' head.

The stats can be pretty alarming. The unemployment rate in the US is 7.9 percent, but among Veterans that number can be as high as 19 percent! It’s not easy for military members to wrap up a tour of duty and then find work right away. The transition to civilian life can be tough. There’s a job fair today that has the goal of connecting Veterans with employers, and placing them in the right work en

Going on field trips in elementary school was always a hoot because it meant not bustin' open the textbook for half a day.  Still remember going to the rock quarry and learning about geological formations -- when Marcel, the school bully, wasn't pouncing on me just for fun.

What’s your family tradition on Thanksgiving Day? For many of us, Thanksgiving means getting up early to put the turkey in, smelling the aroma of baking turkey and coffee-brewing while watching parades all morning, then expecting family to arrive promptly at 11am. The rest of the day is all about grazing over piles of turkey and green casserole and putting black olives on our fingertips to make pu

Coffee is part of life for many of us. Before making the big decision about whether or not to become pregnant, I asked my doctor if I could still consume my daily 2.5 cups of coffee during pregnancy. It’s a must. If I have a sip less than that, I can feel it. And I knew I may not survive pregnancy if I had to ween myself off, or worse yet, quit cold turkey. If I could drink coffee while pregnant,
