Everyone wishes the economy were doing better. The good news is it's getting better. (YAY!!!) But that doesn't mean it's getting better for everyone, and it also doesn't mean that everyone thinks it's getting better, despite what the numbers may say. So how do you personally feel …

If you like piña coladas...

Growing a coconut tree is relatively easy... all you need is a coconut... it has to be the right kind of coconut, of course. It must fall off the tree on it's own after it dries up, so if you pick it of the tree, it won't work. I found this coconut in a parking lot months ago, a …
