My fellow Northwest Ohioans, this is a call to action! Have you noticed that we are being taken advantage of? Yesterday, the national gas price average was $3.22 / gallon for unleaded. Yet here in NW Ohio, every station in this town had gas for $3.39 / gallon. The price of gas in the Northern suburbs […]

Just a short little venting post because I made my weekly stop at Walmart today… and not one, not two, but THREE price increases awaited me! 1. drawstring kitchen garbage bags – when I started shopping at Walmart in Ohio only 5 years ago, these were $1.33 / box of 20. Last time I went to

Oh wait, that was tonight. Seriously. We saw 10,000 B.C. (a new release, no less!) for $3 for 2 people! It was a 5:00 movie at matinee price, plus bring a guest for free night = $3! Add in our popcorn and pop, and we spent less than $10 for a new movie at the

Finally, after 7 seasons on the air, American Idol contestants can sing songs from the Lennon/McCartney songbook. Of course, what better way to celebrate the feat of convincing Michael Jackson to allow it (since he owns the rights to the Beatles works) then to have an all Fab Five show. Let me also point out

These are the bane of my substitute existence, next to holidays. No, I don’t mean the days students get off early but rather days where the teacher take off only half a day. It seems I may have three of these this week unless I can find a full day to take their place (I
There seems to be a fascination with franchise re-boots in movies today. If memory serves, one of the first was George Lucas’ idea of deciding to tell the back story of Darth Vader. While the idea of Star Wars Episodes 1-3 seemed good in theory, it failed in many respects. The plot of the trilogy

Last night’s movie was called Awake, and it starred Jessica Alba and Hayden Christensen. When I first saw Jessica Alba, I was not looking forward to seeing the movie, and I don’t know why. It’s not like I’ve seen anything else with her in it, but for some reason, I was under the impression that

Well, that is just what half the class did today. Literally. The flu is just knocking everybody down for the count. Okay, the class size was only six students being a special education class so half the class was only three students, but that is still very high statistically speaking. Plus, the teacher I was

We went kinda crazy with the movies this weekend… We watched the 1984 classic Splash with the kids, and we also took in Mr. Woodcock and Dan in Real Life (for the adults). Splash is a Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah movie about a mermaid who leaves the ocean to come to New York city

Ohio was on the national news last week, and it wasn’t for politics. CNN and the Weather Channel were talking about our state because of the major snow storm that befell Cleveland, not to mention the rest of the state – except us, for once! Here in the Northwest corner of the state, we dodged
