The GEM Debate: Cell Phones On Planes.. Can You Hear Me Now?
2
Surely this is a sign the world is nearing an end. I was reading on my friend Jim’s blog that Virgin Atlantic is now going to allow cell phone calls on certain flights. Is there anything possibly more hellish than that, well I mean, other than HELL?
Anyone who’s taken a flight knows how hard it is to hear, over the pressurized cabin and engine noise, the person sitting a scant 6 inches away from you. Add what one can only imagine will be spotty, cell service and cramped quarters and you have More >

1I have a feeling we’re about to open up a whole can of worms here but that’s never stopped us before, now has it?
Okay before I dive into this I need to tell you that my beloved Darling Casey is a softball player this year! Woot!

I had the normal butterflies the day before, the panicked, “Oh crap, am I good enough to do this?” thoughts raced frantically through my head. I’m 30-something years old, I have two kids, three dogs, a full time job… and now I have two classes too!?

Ask Rene: How Do I Let Go Of My Only Son?
1Hi Rene:
I’ll be thrilled if you can help me. I’ve been running the gamut of emotion lately. For the last several years, after my ex-husband walked out on us, it’s been my son, Jeffrey and me against the world. We shared highs and lows, good times and (a lot of) bad and we’re very close.
That’s the good news. Now the bad, Jeffrey has been accepted to college out of state. I guess that’s not really bad but to be honest, I am worried. I’m worried about him and I’m worried about me, given that More >
