By most accounts, the Great Depression wasn't the best time to strike out in search of fame and fortune. But that didn't stop Frances Farmer from trading rain-soaked West Seattle for the glamorous climes of Hollywood, transforming herself into a major film actress of the 1930's.

Do you know that you can make your own eye cream from your kitchen? There are several ingredients around your house that you could use to make your own anti-aging eye cream and use it right away.
These are perilous times in which we find ourselves. No longer is it possible or even prudent to place our hopes in the soundness of the "fundamentals of our economy." That could be likened to stepping from a solid dock onto a floating inner tube. While the inner tube may have substance, it has no support from beneath. But we will get beyond this, won't we?
I'm given to view the world from the perspective of a modified relativist. That is, while I do think there are a few absolutes, which can't be disputed, there are many issues of interest and importance that can.
