Springtime Money Laundering
Summer is right around the corner and most of us have our to-do-lists figured out, mentally, if not written down yet. Bible camp for the kids, plant a large garden, and a trip to the lake. What about financial housekeeping, shouldn't that be on your list too? Early summer is a great time to take a financial breather. The holidays are a long way off, the taxes have just been paid and we're spending time eating in the backyard instead of dining out. If you take even one day out of your summe ...

Effective Fire Prevention Measures in the Home 2
Although we can do our utmost to prevent fires from happening by isolating the sources of heat from combustibles and oxygen, it is often the unexpected event that catches us unawares.
Carelessness
Sometimes, forgetfulness can result in an accidental fire. Putting a kettle to boil water on a gas stove and forgetting about it can be disastrous. When all the water has evaporated, the kettle becomes red hot, melt and spread the molten metal around.

Have You Lost Your Mind?!
He was fighting me every step of the way, arched back, stiffened legs and an indignant bellow. With my mind focused on securely fastening my toddler in his seat, all else was an insignificant distraction. Even when my remote became wedged between my hipbone and the carseat and locked the doors. Even when my keys, once secured in my pocket, dislodged and fell to the floor. Yes, they were all just distractions. When I accomplished the chaotic task and my son was secured in his babyseat I shut that ...

Nonetheless, as the marketplace of the indebted continues to reach proportionate heights, it does not do much for the consumer. According to IRS commissioner, Mark W. Everson, “The new breed [of non-profit credit counseling agencies] appears to be more focused on marketing debt management plans than providing educational or charitable services.”
