The day a teen gets his or her own iPhone is usually one of the happiest of their youth. They're finally seen as responsible, semi-independent individuals. However, this 13-year-old, whose mother decided to attach her own 18-point agreement of rules and guidelines in exchange for the phone, might have reason to look for happier days.
January 8, 2013 On Saturday night, Chad and I went out with our friends, Rick and Rita Turcotte for dinner at the Texas Roadhouse in Augusta. I thought it was going to be just another dinner.

January 7, 2013 Having NEVER watched The Biggest Loser before, I felt inspired to this year because it involved children. Not only were adults trying to change their lifestyles but so were three kids who have been struggling with their weight their entire lives.

January 5, 2013 ShadowDog is sporting his new tags for the year. He has the new rabies and the City of Augusta dog registration tags.

January 3, 2013 For Christmas, Chad's mom, Jackie Hood, gave me the ULTIMATE gift! I've always wanted one and I couldn't believe what I saw when I took off the wrapping paper! AN ICE CREAM MAKER! Oh, this is going to be a yummy 2013.
January 3, 2013 There has been a lot of talk about the deal for the ‘fiscal cliff,’ but it looks like it will still impact Mainer’s budgets and the cost of food will continue to be up for the new year.
January 2, 2013 Being a single mom and having been divorced...twice...you would think that putting myself out there to find someone to share my life would be a scary thing to do.
Well, you are right. It is scary.
