How to save a tremendous amount of money

Saving $1 on deodorant can be difficult. After finding the coupon in the Sunday paper, you have to locate that elusive pair of scissors that always seems to get lost in the house, clip out the coupon and then remember to take that small piece of paper to the store on your next shopping trip. For one measly dollar, it hardly seems worth it.

Family Law

Michelle Linzy — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 01:44:56 +0000

As one of the most under reported crimes in the United States, domestic violence has been identified as the single major cause of injury to American women, exceeding rapes, muggings, and even auto accidents combined. (Surgeon General’s Office) The law defines domestic violence as the use of force, directed toward a spouse or former spouse, a cohabitant or former cohabitant, or a person with whom the abuser has had a dating or engagement relationship. Thus, a domestic violence batterer may include any family member, including siblings, grandparents, or a roommate.

MSM Linzy’s Adventures in Travel

Michelle Linzy — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 01:34:08 +0000

Las Vegas has always had the nickname “Sin City,” and most people think that Las Vegas is really not a good choice when choosing places to take their children. I disagree. Las Vegas has changed a lot since my father took my brother and me years ago. Gone are the days of the 99 cents, all-you-can-eat-buffets. They have been replaced with high priced buffets that can make your wallet so light that you feel as though you have been a victim of a professional pickpocket, with the only difference being that you actually handed the pickpocket the wallet and told them that they had permission to rob you. Fortunately, there are ways to get around this.

I If I Knew Then What I Know Now

Michelle Linzy — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 01:28:43 +0000

In my 30’s I found myself divorced and raising two young children alone. I was gripped with fear that my children would somehow be penalized by the divorce and not be successful in school or in life. At the time one of my problems was how to select positive role models for my son. I was driven by the desire to make certain that they would be successful despite the parents being divorced.

Domestic Violence: it has to Stop

Michelle Linzy — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 01:25:01 +0000

In the beginning of a relationship, there is excitement and enchantment. That certainly was the case for Yvette Cade, who told her story on The Oprah Winfrey Show. When she first met Roger Hargrave, she said he was seemed very loving and caring. Shortly after they married, Hargrave became verbally abusive. It wasn’t long before his insults led to physical abuse. Yvette worked up the courage to separate from Hargrave but that didn’t end the abuse. “I felt like a prisoner in my own home,” she told Oprah during the episode that originally aired May 3, 2006.

Keep Your Kids Healthy This Winter

Wintertime brings more than crackling fires to warm the house and Frosty. The cold brings sniffles, sneezes, sore throats and illnesses that put a damper on the new season. Children, with immune systems that aren’t as developed as adults, are particularly susceptible to the mass amounts of germs floating around that cause the flu and colds and other medical problems.“One of the things parents need to understand is that your average healthy child can have as many as six colds per year,” said Dr. Vivian Lennon, the medical director of the primary care center at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
