As far as sneaking the snacks into the movies, it’s a big no-no. Apparently, the movie theater owners aren’t the big, mean people I thought they were. The reason they jack up the prices of candy is to help keep the ticket prices lower. There’s a whole marketing angle that I won’t get into, but I think there is a compromise to be made here. If you’re going to be a shady character and sneak your own candy into the movies, then maybe purchase your drinks from the theater’s concessions. This way you’re still shady, but not quite as shady. Hopefully, when things turn around with our economy, we won’t have to be shady at all anymore. Just saying…
As teenagers and young adults, I think we’ve all made our share of stupid mistakes. Some of us are left with unwanted tattoos, old pictures of poor haircut choices, or like my husband, two earring holes in one ear (sorry honey, but it’s true).

Untitled document (In response to last weeks column) Although I appreciate everyone’s support, I am not starting a new diet. I wish I had answers for those who are, though. If I knew what the right routine was for weight loss I would be busy showing off in “Daisy Dukes” ...
Untitled document (In response to last week’s column) Surprise, surprise — not too many women are fans of spitting. Unfortunately, I heard every woman’s gross, detailed stories of their personal spit encounters. I even got an entertaining phone call from a lovely gentleman stating that “real” men spit, followed by ...
Untitled document (In response to last weeks column) Personally, I think this sums it up perfectly: “There are actually three sides to every story — his side, her side and the truth. If you are passing judgment after hearing one side, you are no better than the person telling the ...
Untitled document (In response to last weeks column) The flashing of headlights to warn someone of a speed trap is protected by their constitutional right to freedom of speech. All of the feedback I got was pro flashing headlights. It seems as though nobody cares about obstructing justice, just about ...
Untitled document (In response to last weeks column) Wow! “A Hairy Situation” has gotten the most responses of all my columns so far. I was nervous to put it out there, but I’m glad I did. I love to make people giggle a little. Apparently, everybody “nose” somebody with this ...
