Could Your Old Books Make Money? How to Check Book Value

If you have bookshelves full of books you may also have a source of income. Clearing out those books could not only mean a more organized home, but it may also mean less debt or more savings. That is because you can often sell your books for cash. Before you consign them all to a yard sale (where you can still earn some money for the most common books), make sure to check book value. That is because among all of the best sellers and summer reads, you may just find a few books that could make you some real … Continue reading →

Oh No They Didn’t!

I am a big fan of memorials. I was a bit put out when the London Olympics didn’t have a moment of silence to honor the Israeli athletes that were murdered during the Munich games 40 years ago. Every September 11th, I try to watch a documentary – one of the gut wrenching ones – so I will remember the pain I felt that day and to pray for the victims and those they left behind. So needless to say, I was appalled today when I read that “The Today Show” chose to speak with Kris Jenner at 8:46 am … Continue reading →

Posted on by

Once a week, the Insurance Blog Week in Review brings you an easy way to “ketchup” on the blogs that have been posted here in the past seven days.

Missouri already has a law that allows employers or workers opt-out of birth control coverage if it … Continue reading →

January Check In: New Year’s Resolutions in Housekeeping

It’s the end of January, which means checking in to see how you are doing with your New Year’s Resolutions. Not everyone includes housekeeping in their list of things to change but this blog might get you thinking about it. The biggest thing I had on my mind for the year 2012 was to cook more often for my family. I am happy to say that I have adopted a meal plan that is really working. It feels so good to accomplish something. But at the same time, I know that I need to address other areas in my home, … Continue reading →

We are going to do an end-of-the-month check in throughout the remainder of this year. Hopefully it will inspire and motivate you to keep plugging along. … Continue reading →

Richard’s rep said that new daughter “Eloise Joni Richards is named after Denise’s mom (Joni), and Denise and her daughters Sami and Lola chose the name Eloise.” The rep went on to say that “Denise and Eloise’s big sisters couldn’t be happier and feel incredibly blessed.” At least Sheen can thank his … Continue reading →

Doctor Accepts Cash, Check, or Barter, but Not Insurance

Posted on by

A doctor in Minnesota is running her practice quite a bit differently than most doctors would even consider doing today. She accepts payments by cash or check, (and sometimes accepts gratuities in the form of goods). Surprisingly, she does not accept any form of health insurance from her patients. In today’s age of health insurance reform and regulation, this is a very interesting choice. Dr. Susan Rutten Wasson sees patients the same day that they ask to be seen, (unless she happens to already be booked up for that day). When was the last time that you were able to … Continue reading →

Grade Check

Posted on by

My dear students, I write to you today to tell you that math is your friend. Remember when that math teacher in grade school, and high school, and your parents, and your uncle that you’re not allowed to visit anymore all told you that math really is important for everyday living? Do you remember that? Do you remember working on your multiplication tables or your long division worksheets thinking “no body ever does this stuff in real life!” and “I’m not going to ever use any of this so why bother?” Do you remember all of that? Well, if mathematics … Continue reading →
