Greeting, Cool Peeps: Today we’re going to the supermarket. Although we all shop in different stores around the globe, I’m betting we have some of the same peeves.

Greetings, Cool Peeps: This week I’m talking about faces in strange places. A little odd, yes, but maybe this blog will help us discover just how similar or just how different we are.

Greetings Cool People, For this week’s blog, I had a mad desire to write an obituary for public restrooms. But let’s be realistic. We need them. So, in my picky fashion, I’ll just vent. If you’re anything like me, then you know the awkwardness of being in a single-occupancy restroom and having someone knock on […]
