Taxes Are Due This Week — Do You Wait Until the Last Minute to File?
I hate doing taxes. One of the reasons I hate doing taxes is that I end up paying in about as much as one of my paychecks is. I never have enough extra money left over to do anything else after paying my bills, let alone pay my taxes. I always have to make payments to the tax board. But it is what it is.
Four Places That Are Fun in Daylight, But I Wouldn’t Spend The Night There
I love to go shopping -- even just window shopping. I love a great music store, going to the movies, clothing boutiques and antiques shops.
But as inviting as they are by day, I wouldn't want to spend the night in places like that. I don't think I would even if someone gave me a million bucks.
Capt. Richard Phillips, Who Faced Down Somali Pirates, Will Speak In Kennewick
When the movie "Captain Phillips" came out with Tom Hanks, I rushed to the theater because it was Tom Hanks! But as I watched the movie, I was filled with horror and disgust. Hanks was fantastic, however I could not believe what his character, Capt. Richard Phillips, had gone through after Somali pirates captured his unarmed cargo ship, the Maersk Alabama, in 2009.
Peeps Are An Easter Standby, But Do You Really Like Them? [POLL]
Since I was a kid, I have always gotten Peeps as one of my Easter candy surprises. Even as a kid, though, they were filled with so much sugar that I mostly just played with them. I never really ate them. I cannot imagine an Easter without them, though.
YWCA Leadership Luncheon Was Powerful — Taya Kyle & Malinda Are Now My Heroes
The Yakima YWCA is a powerful place in itself. They help women who've survived domestic violence and their children face the world, take charge of their own lives and get back to being the women they know they are. To get back to being the mothers that they know they are, as well.
Does Anybody Still Use Piggy Banks?
I loved my old piggy bank. I used to get so excited when it would get full because I could empty it and buy some candy or toys. Of course, that was way back in the day.
April 10 Is ‘National Siblings Day’ — My Brother Is The Best
Today (April 10) is "National Siblings Day," and my brother is the best. He is really my best friend. I don't see him very often, but when we do talk, it is like we still live together. He is also the strongest person that I know.
When I was listening to the Bee Gees, Eddie Rabbit and Queen, he was listening to Hank Williams, Boston and Journey...

Some States Have The Most Iconic Desserts — Can You Guess What Washington’s Is?
Not that it comes as some great surprise, but Washington state's most iconic dessert is apple crisp. I would have thought apple pie first, but in a recent study, apple crisp took the cake ... so to speak.
Is Valley Mall The Only Place With Escalators In Yakima Valley?
Well, here we go again. Someone spent money on a study that we already knew. You shouldn't walk on escalators. You should just stand still and enjoy the ride because it slows down if you try to skip the steps.
Facebook Has The Silliest Things To Play
Everyone needs something to pass the time. I am usually pretty busy, so I do not have time to play games or just search on Facebook like the average person. However, last weekend I came across one of the quizzes that Facebook has so I took it. Then I tried a few more. The results were hilarious!
