Jealousy. Passion. Betrayal.

At some point we all probably said something in our teen years that we wish we could take back. But today’s teens face an additional burden. If they convey those statements on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter their words could be around for a lot longer than just the heat of the moment.

So what would happen if your son or daughter were to post rumors about other teens online that implied drug use, promiscuity, or other information that could damage that person’s reputation?

Are you covered? Read on to find out.

Truffle Hunting with my buddy Douglas.

As some of you know I am an avid scavenger and a perfect day for me is a day in the woods scounging around for edibles! I recently found a spot for Oregon white truffles in Forest Grove. What a slice of heaven!

A “NICE” Insurance Story

admin — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:32:27 +0000

This is a little hokie, but it reminded me of my native NH– I grew up in a town very much like Cumberland. And it’s a “NICE” insurance result from a grateful customer. Although we all hate paying for insurance, when something bad happens it pays to have a Trusted Choice independent insurance agent.

McDonalds

I take a tennis lesson every Thursday morning at 7am. This morning I had a particularly good one, and when that happens, I usually reward myself with a Wild Berry Smoothie at McDonalds. So at 8am I pulled into line behind a well-dressed, middle-aged woman in a newer Toyota Corolla. As I drove up, I heard her ask for a small orange juice to go with her Egg McMuffin. Then she asked, in kind of a pained voice, “How much is the total with the orange juice?” The cashier said, “$4.18.” The woman paused and started counting the money in her hand and said, in the same pained voice, “I guess I’ll just take the sandwich then…”

I felt very fortunate… There are so many people still really struggling in this economy. Let’s hope things turn around soon.
