Trailer Trash With A Girl's Name by Stacey Roberts

Trash, with A Girl's Name by Stacey Roberts. I love the way his mother gives everyone titles.

Navigating Nursing Homes
I
hate nursing homes. I'll just say that right off the bat. Of course, I don't
know anyone who loves them, but unfortunately, many of us will struggle with
placing a loved one in nursing care at some point. I understand they serve a
purpose, but I have rarely seen the care match the cost. The basic rate in
California is currently $250.00 a day (some cost more), which works out to over
$7,000.00

Midnight Never Ends by Thomas Amo #horror
Horror is my guilty pleasure. I love to watch scary movies and
read stories that give me the creeps. My friend Thomas Amo recently released a
book of short stories as an homage to one of our favorite television shows,
Night Gallery. My mom wouldn't let me watch it, so I had to wait until I went
to visit my dad. I would curl up on the couch with a big blanket to hide
behind, and watch,

Bully - The Documentary
Taking a break from holiday baking a few days before Christmas, I found my daughter watching a movie, so I decided to join her.
She said she was watching a documentary called Bully. This film followed kids in a particular school district during the 2009/2010 school year. What I saw made me sick to my stomach. As you know from reading my
blog early on, I've had several incidents of bullying with
