Online Romance Scams Cost 50 Million A Year
Wednesday, May 16th, 2012
Being the victim of Internet fraud is a tough pill to swallow no matter how it happens. But to be a lonely and vulnerable person who thinks they’ve found love only to find out they’ve actually been the victim of an online romance scam surely adds insult to injury.
Internet romance scams were a common enough occurrence in 2011 to cost victims $50 million, according to a new report from the Internet Crime Complaint Center.

T-Time – My Two Nanas
Mother’s day, maybe one of my least favorite holidays, I know I sound horrible. Honestly, it’s only because I have so many “moms” to buy for and celebrate with. Some brief history on this is, my parents divorced when I was really young and then my father had custody of me. So I had a lot of different women helping him to raise me. 

Fortunately I don’t have a long commute to and from work; it’s about 15 minutes door-to-door. Just long enough for me to observe many of my driving pet peeves that people seem to have adopted as the norm when driving these days. It makes me wonder what happened to any awareness for the common “rules of the road.” It seems as if everyone has decided to just drive however they want and pretend there’s no one else on the road. This attitude annoys the living daylights out of me and, if you ever ride with me, you’ll hear me talking to the traffic a lot because of it. So, I decided to help everyone out and come up with a list of my top five driving pet peeves.
