Pixabay I found out recently an ex friend (whole nother story) who tried to off herself over a guy she’d only known for three weeks has allowed him back in her life. Prior to finding out he was a lying, cheating, felon, she purchased a $250 watch for his birthday two weeks into the relationship. When she found out he had another girlfriend and was splitting his time between her and the other…

Photo from Pixabay Samantha and her team stood on the pier. As we approached, she stuck out her hand. “Samantha Arie; you must be Melody and Riley.” Her stare-down, accompanied by a slight squint and intense eye contact, made me instantly uncomfortable. “I’ve learned so much concerning you both. I expect your experience is going to be delightful.” Read more here

Aiden followed.  “Wait here.” I said putting my hands on his chest. “We don’t need our DNA throughout the crime scene. Yell if the captain shows up.” read more here:

When we are young, finding love is easy. The vibrance of youth, the carefree stance on life, and exploring new avenues allows for easy companionship. But when we get older, and I’m speaking from a woman’s prospective, the prospect of love gets harder. We are more independent, set in our ways, have family to deal with, and may have different wants then when we were younger. Having someone to talk…

“We are a mixed bunch here, wouldn’t you say? You, the fitness instructor, or even a nutritionist. Though you don’t seem that obsessed with food.” She said, eyeing me with a sly, judging glint. “Then there’s Curt. I’m thinking he’s in finance or real estate. Something where you wear a suit and tie, thanks to his haircut. Kathy, the influencer. Her phone is attached to her…

I was looking for something I wrote about the American Steel company and how my research lead me to it not being allowed to sell to a foreign entity. The merger with a Japanese company has been quashed by Biden, for good reason. I’m still looking for it and will post it once I find it. For now,…

The little black dog with the snaggle tooth was anything but visible to me when my husband and I started dating. I heard them talking about an ‘ugly Betty,’ but I never saw her. One night, as we all watched a movie, I asked my husband, “Who is ugly Betty?” He told me I could find her behind the couch. Sure enough, when I looked, there she was, curled up in a little ball, sleeping. It was odd…

Gravity tugged at every fiber of my being. The black hole stretched me thin as I hurtled through the abyss. Colors swirled around me in a mesmerizing dance that blended and morphed into shapes beyond comprehension. I shielded my sight and tried to steady myself against the onslaught of sensations that threatened to overwhelm my senses. And then, as fast as it had begun, the tumultuous journey…

Upon hearing the blood-curdling scream, we all jumped out of our seats and ran for the staircase. I reached it first and took the stairs two at a time. My brief knock on the closed door where Liz was staying wouldn’t have been sufficient in any other circumstance, but this unique situation called for immediate action. I turned the handle and pushed it open. “What’s the matter? Are you okay?” I…

By: LC Ahl How many of you have friends who stated they have no interest in politics? Maybe you say the same thing. The ugly truth is that politics affects every aspect of our lives. From what state we live in, to the college we attend, to our friends, our jobs, the houses we buy, the groceries we purchase, the doctors we see, the magazines we read, the shows we watch on TV, the cars we…
