I’d like to say that I’m a very supportive person. If anyone in my family wants to do something a little different but safe, I support them. I know how important it is for them, even if I wouldn’t do it myself, so I know supporting them is the proper thing to do, again, provided…

As written for The Insurance Hunters. Please visit their blog. As long as I can remember, my dad was always very good with puzzles; especially jigsaw puzzles.

Hindsight; we’ve all experienced it from time to time. We end up doing things and after it’s done we wish we had done something else. How often does this happen to you? Perhaps a better question is how often does it happen to you while you’re driving? Do you regret making some of your driving…

Looking back at our childhood often makes us cringe at the things we’ve done. I’ve jumped out of a tree with an umbrella hoping it would act like a parachute. I’ve jumped off a cliff into the lake not knowing how deep the water really was, just to name a few. Maybe the most dangerous…
