Overt the last month, the Ebola virus has surged to become a thing Americans worry about every day. It's on the news, it's parodied on SNL, and it's always brought up in jokes by teenagers and college students. It's been known until now that Ebola is contagious and can be caught by anyone who's around an infected patient. Hazmat suits seem to be the norm when dealing with Ebola patients as well as gloves. But then on Thursday, this image surfaced on the internet...... .......and Americans went ballistic. Who was this man not wearing a hazmat suit and carrying a clipboard walking so close to an Ebola infected patient? Wouldn't he be infected with the disease too? And then probably the biggest question of all: Is the American media lying to us about Ebola? Now, the media has been known to lie to us before. CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and countless others constantly fabricate the news stories to get their opinions out to viewers, especially...
It's a day off and I'm sitting at home scrolling through the Snapchat stories of my friends and co-workers. I'm just leaving one person's story and moving onto the next, but first I have to watch an advertisement, because Snapchat needs to make money somehow doesn't it?

The ad cuts out not long after that, and I'm back with my Snapchat stories. If you haven't guessed already, the ad is for smartphone app TikTok , which allows it's users to video rec...
Some of us most likely have a "home away from home". A place where we go to escape the pressures and stresses of daily life and just feel at ease and relax. It could be the deer camp, the radio station, the RV campground nearby, or even your friend's basement. These types of places provide us mental rest from whatever is driving us nuts back home, and we can breathe easy knowing that we have some time to ourselves. Back when I was in MN, my home away from home was Story Book Lodge. It was pretty much an exact copy of home - A place I loved to be on the waterfront with lots of trees and delicious smells and amazingly designed buildings. The only major difference between home and SBL was that SBL had a lot of people around, unless it was the weekend, when a lot of counselors went home, and only those sticking around for the next week of camp stayed put. It's always blissful and blessing to be there, and I'm going to write more about SBL at a later dat...
