I don’t think the average American will think of Walmart while writing down their grocery shopping list, do you? Maybe if one were to look for clothing, video games, and other electronics; but definitely NOT food.
Here’s something to surprise you and me, though – Walmart just might be what the United States needs to save the small farmers throughout the country. You may find it unbelievable, but it seems to be true. Corby Kummer of MSNBC has had a firsthand encounter with a Walmart ...

“Queers” Welcomed With Open Arms In Evangelical Church
Dec 20 2009
Posted by Sally as Life Issues, Lifestyle and Leisure
The homosexual issue has always been controversial, although it has become less so in certain circles over the years. One proof of this is Highlands Church in Denver, which openly welcomes gays and lesbians to its congregation. Led by Rev. Mark Tidd, the church has broken away from tradition. In fact, the Reverend delivers a weekly welcome speech including these words: “queer or straight here, there's no hate here.”
As can be expected, the church has drawn a lot of attention – both positive and negative. ...
We already probably know this, but for the sake of putting things on the record, let’s take a look at a recent study conducted by Quality Planning. This is a group that works with car insurance companies. What they do is to check on the information of policy holders.
So what did they find out? The study basically says that men are more likely to throw caution to the wind when on the road, as compared to women. In order to come up with the results, the group ...

Winter is just around the corner, and you may not be aware of it, but there is a real disorder that many people experience during this time of the year. Many of us may informally call it the winter blues, though its official name is Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD.

Posted by Sally as Lifestyle Features, Lifestyle and Leisure
We all have our bad habits, there is no denying that. There are some habits, however, that may seem to be harmless on the surface but are actually wreaking damage without us noticing it. Take a look at some of these habits and see if you are guilty of engaging in them.
Using the phone while driving. This is really a no brainer – bad habit no doubt. However, everyone who does this has his own way of rationalizing it. There is a plethora of hands-free devices ...

Posted by Sally as Family Life, Lifestyle and Leisure
Do you think that you complain too much? Probably not. I have not really met a person who would actually say “yes” without thinking about the question (and his answer), but the chances are that you and I complain more than we would like to think we do. If you think about it, complaining seems to be have become quite a trend.
When was the last time you complained? What was it about? You may not realize it, but you probably complain a great deal.

The Pistachio Principle Of Dieting
Aug 28 2009
Posted by Sally as Health Features, Lifestyle and Leisure
One thing that I have learned in the first half of this year is that the older you get, the harder it is to lose weight. Remember when you were a teenager? You just needed to go on a crash diet, and you’d lose some weight just like that! It was probably due to a higher metabolism rate, plus the fact that you were engaged in so many physical activities. As a “pencil pusher,” physical activities seem to be set aside. You’d have to make an ...

I seriously thought that alcohol can help you sleep! According to a study funded by the British government, alcohol actually gives rise to sleep problems due to its ...

Savings Or Pay Off Credit Card Debt?
