My new fave small businesses in Ho Co

I panicked just now thinking OMG!!! Small Business Saturday is almost over and I didn’t post anything. Then I thought some more and realized that Small Business Saturday is not just today. You can shop small businesses everyday. WHEW!!! Ok. Got that panic attack over with. Now let me get on with two small businesses … Continue reading →

What am I thankful for this Thanksgiving? Health Insurance

I’m sick today (the day before Thanksgiving). Yesterday I had to take my son to Target because of a pesky sinus infection and today it’s me who needs care because of a female issue. You see that receipt in the picture?? That $20 didn’t make me bat an eye. But here at Patient First they … Continue reading →

The Phantom of the Ex

This post may not make a whole lot of sense but if you’ve ever been screwed over by a man and haven’t fully healed from it, you’ll feel me on this.

Breaking News: Anthony Brown is not a co-conspirator

Warning: This is a rant and I feel like cussing on this post. Sorry Mom. Ladies and gentlemen: I give you the shittiest news report of the week (I’m sure there will be more as time goes on).

She decided to begin the surgery with a dance party. Deborah Cohan, you are a SHERO to me. I. LOVE. THIS. Click here … Continue reading →

The Plot Thickens at The Verona

Well it looks like the County Government isn’t taking this apartment business lying down. They’re getting up. Tom Carbo, Director of the Howard County Department of Housing and Community Development, Marsha McLaughlin, Director of Planning and Zoning, and the Honorable (and apparently “Dreamy“) Dr. Calvin Ball, Councilman representing District 2, are presenting a community discussion … Continue reading →

Give the Verona Apartments sale a chance

Lemme be honest with you about something: I didn’t pay attention to this issue at first because quite frankly I didn’t care. But something bugged me about it once I heard a few things. And let’s face it, when there is talk about subsidized housing more than likely it involves my people so I guess … Continue reading →
