With this being the latest summer of the superheroes comes the inevitable debate of what superpower would you want to have.
I would like the claim the superpower that utilities and corporations seem to have. That is the power to assess fees that mean nothing but carry a hefty price. I would like to assess companies a service fee at random and for seemingly no reason at all.
Administrative fees....what are those anyway and why should I have to pay that.
The latest is a credit card that I canceled last year. I just got a bill for $100.00 for an annual fee. I haven't used the card because I canceled it but they have the nerve to send me a bill. What's up with that??

There is a man in Niagara who has now been convicted as a pedophile who is due to be sentanced soon. In the meantime he is out while he awaits the courts decision. WHAT !!??
Worse yet, he is in an apartment building where other families with their young children live and is close to a playground. I don't understand this at all. He's not out on bail awaiting trial. It's not a case of "innocent till proven guilty". He's been convicted. How can he be allowed to be outside jail awaiting his sentance. This is no victimless crime. What do they think is going to happen? I can't imagine a parents fear, anger and disgust.

My Birthday is this week and maybe it's a "mid life crisis" thing but i don't want to tell people my age. It's not that I'm ashamed or anything...I feel like I'm lying. I don't feel like I'm that old. I feel great. I'm in good health. I seem to like things like movies, books and music that are younger than my demographic.
There's that commercial on TV now that says "the generation that swore they'd never grow old...didn't". That's how I feel and I'm a lot younger than the folks in that commercial. When I get the inevitable aches and pains for no apparent reason, it strikes me as odd. Maybe it's because I never raised children. I don't know but I hope I stay like that.
The best stories are about people who are in retirement going back to university. They never get tired of learning. I ...
