By Kevin Theissen The Internal Revenue Service continues to be backlogged and shorthanded—because of years of mismanagement plus Covid-19 related difficulties. As of last month, the IRS had over 20 million tax returns and correspondence waiting to be processed. Last year there were over 150 million taxpayer calls to the IRS that went unanswered. If…

By Sandra Dee Owens At some point in my life, I decided to go solo. I did not get divorced, or leave my friends, family, or home. I simply started minding my own business. While raising our daughters in my 20s and 30s, I had neighborhood girlfriends also raising children. We would frequently walk, hike,…

By Merisa Sherman There’s dust in my eyes, but I’m trying to ignore it as I relax in my lawn chair. I have to turn my head to stop the dust from going down my throat — or worse, into my drink. Willing myself to believe that a bluebird 48-degree day is perfect parking lot weather, …

On Aug. 5, 2010, no one could turn away from the events unfolding in the Atacama Desert on the outskirts of Chile. As the world watched, rescue teams were readying their specially designed capsule for a half-mile descent into the earth to free 33 trapped miners. For nearly 70 days, these brave men were forced…

By Mary Ellen Shaw It’s always fun to open up my email inbox and find pictures and stories that take me back in time. A friend recently sent me an email with pictures that definitely said, “Remember when?” One was a picture of a book … not one you read, but rather a "book" of…

By Cassandra Tyndall As far as April goes, this is one of the more challenging weeks of the month. As Mars and Saturn come together, it will require discipline and focus to overcome obstacles and get things done. These two planets, while not astrology’s golden children, aren’t all bad either. If a certain situation in…

By Dom Cioffi I have been watching the Academy Awards since I was in grade school — long before there were pre-shows dedicated to the actors’ and actresses’ outfits and long before the event was used as a platform for virtue signaling whatever cause would get the most press the following week. The annual occasion…

By Kevin Theissen Earlier this month, the Federal Reserve increased interest rates for the first time since December 2018 by 0.25%. Several more hikes are expected later this year.
