Paying Every Price, and Bearing Every Burden, in WV Coalfield Communities

 John Kennedy, in his inaugural address, said that America would “pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, or oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” He need not have said this in West Virginia. West Virginia had already done that....

Swabbing the Deck Could Cost You Your Life – New Study Sheds Light on the Hazards of Wooden Decks

Technophobe?

 I have a reputation for being a bit of technophobe.  It really isn’t fair.  I’m not afraid of technology.  I’m cautious, that’s all.  I like to take things slow.  I dangle my feet in the shallow end of the techno pool instead of diving head first. Now I don’t pretend...

August 22 is National Tooth Fairy Day- Talk about your memories of the tooth fairy

 Creating magical/memorable experiences for my children was always something I so loved to do and when one of them lost a tooth, it was “show time”. When my daughter lost her first tooth, I sprinkled “fairy dust” down the hallway, across her room and onto her pillow, tucked money under...
