Big Screen Advertisers Prejudice?

Big Screen Advertisers Prejudice?

What the heck is wrong with this picture? No not the tv picture, the advertisement! Why is it that television manufacturers always seem to advertise men enjoying the big screens? This ad for vizio tvs is a prefect example. Maybe they think women don’t enjoy watching big screen tvs or perhaps television is not as important to women. Not to mention the fact that sports are on the display. I grew up watching and participating in sports. Nothing better than watching your favorite team in an overtime situation on Monday Night football. Too bad we might not get to watch it this year. Oh sorry for getting off topic! Anyway, I take special offense to these ads because my midlife hubby is technically challenged.   What button do I push for the menu? Why can’t I just change the channels like a regular tv? These ads are downright offensive! These TV advertisers are prejudice if you ask me. Do you all get these questions too?  How about it ladies,...

Keeping your midlife relationship fresh

Keeping your midlife relationship fresh

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TwoOfUs. All opinions are 100% mine. Relationship questions, every newlywed has them. Of course, friends and definitely family members seem to know “the correct answer” and offer it up freely, as I recall.  Sounds typical right? One would also assume that by midlife most marriage or relationship questions have been answered. I am guilty of that assumption and you know what they say about assume…. Midlife or not, think again because as relationships evolve new questions arise. Midlife is filled with as much emotion as puberty if you ask me.  It would be nice if there were a place for relationship or marriage answers without engaging in those “correct responses” by friends or family.   Before you run from this sponsored post, this is not some “rubbish for a buck” information. TwoofUs.org does offer common sense tips on keeping your relationship fresh. Sometimes the answers to relationship questions...

Success – Oh Yes You Can!

Success – Oh Yes You Can!

Success is attainable for everyone. Rocawear was established in 1999 upon the dramatic success of rapper and co-founder Shawn “Jay Z” Carter. The apparel collection was designed to fit an urban lifestyle, and quickly became a target brand for street-savvy hip-hop consumers. Roc-A-Fella Records served as the initial launch pad to what is now an international brand of clothing. I am a Motown fan, an old skool r & b girl. Break dancing came about in my time. Raising children at the onset of the hip-hop phenomena, I cannot and did not support a lifestyle that endorses hate, the degrading of others, or the abuse of verbal freedom that SOME rappers engage in.  Passing judgment, especially publically, would also be wrong. I digress. The Jay Z success story is truly amazing and worth sharing, an inspiration the hip-hop community can embrace. This Brooklyn born young man, raised in the projects by a single mom, achieved what many would classify as...

An American Holiday Spirit – Support VVA

Vietnam Veterans of America

The United States has experienced much change, great struggles, and just recently several very scary threats. It has been a tough, fearful road yet with the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays rapidly approaching, an atmosphere of charity and giving seems to also emerge. It seems impossible to measure the value of the freedom our veterans provided. Let us not forget our American Veterans this holiday season. The Vietnam Veterans of America is congressionally chartered and exclusively dedicated to Vietnam-era veterans and their families. Founded in 1978, Vietnam Veterans of America is organized as a not-for-profit 501(c) (19) corporation. Organized in 46 states with 630 local chapters and over 50,000 members, their founding principle is “Never again will one generation of veterans abandon another.” Vietnam Veterans of America, Illinois State Council has been supporting Vietnam Veterans and their families for over 25 years. One of the VVA programs, beneficial to both the donor and recipient, is the Car Donation program. Cars...

My Maseratti does one-eighty-five…

What ever happened to car songs we all came to know and love? Back it the day it seemed there was always a popular car song on the music charts. Lots of song lyrics included cars and they somehow stuck in your head. While writing this post I kept hearing Joe Walsh singing “My Maseratti does one-eighty-five, I lost my license now I don’t drive”. Happening upon Car.com a very cool Top Ten Car Song List came up and it got me reminiscing. Their top car song picks cross quite a few genres of music however, I think Slow Ride by Fog Hat and Mercedes Benz by Janis Joplin should have made the list. In addition, perhaps Hot Rod Lincoln, remember that one? Of course, let’s not forget the rock n roll pioneer Chuck Berry with his 1955 hit Maybellene. Car songs were fun weren’t they? Amanda Wegrzyn of cars.com writes, music and car culture have been unconditionally linked....
