Bullying, while around for centuries, is having a bigger and bigger impact on our youth. Especially since cyber bullying is on the rise.

Remember the Kodak or Polaroid camera? What about the land line or a party line? Waiting on that phone call from a rotary phone at the house that may or may come.

Do you miss those days or even know what those items were?

Years ago Bill Cosby was a household name. He was either on a commercial promoting Jello or he was on your TV set as the all American dad. Boy have times changed.

Ever heard someone say they think two women in the same room, office, or party are about to have a cat fight? Most people understand that does not mean two cats. That literally means two, or more, women are going at it with each other. If you have not witnessed this it can get ugly quick. Women fighting can be a lot more brutal than men fighting. And women don’t walk away and get over it, like most men do. Some say women are protecting their possessions, the things and the people they cherish. Others think it’s women’s hormones and the inability to be rational and calm in sticky situations. Regardless, some just want to grab a cold drink and watch it go down.
