Many parents are faced with deciding when it's okay to leave their child unattended for extended periods of time. Whether they are working while school is out, or need to run errands for a couple hours, it's a dilemma most every parent is faced with as their child grows older.

If you've ever gone browsing the "all for sale" section of Abilene Craigslist, you may get totally lost in the variety of what all is for sale. My latest trip to the site had me finding some things I want to buy, some things I never knew existed, and some things I just thought were cool for some reason. So, I felt the need to share. Just in case you were in a buying mood. And hey, it's n

Parents, we’ve come to the point in the year where it’s time to start preparing the kids for another school year. Of course that means buying clothes, shoes, and school supplies. But there’s one important preparation that won’t allow kids into school unless it’s taken care of:  making sure their immunization records are up to date...

We keep hearing how obese the people of the U.S. are and that it's leading to many of our health problems. The FDA Tuesday approved another new drug for weight loss but are the benefits going to outweigh the side effects.

As CarWalk came and went this past week, and a couple other small car gatherings took place over the weekend. In a recent blog I posted, I asked the one question, 'Are You a Chevy, Dodge or Ford Person?' Many car enthusiasts participated in the poll, while the over all winner did not surprise me, the runner up did.

Summer is here, and the kids are out of school. As working parents know, it's difficult to take the whole summer off in order to stay home with a child. So we're faced with finding other options. Some parents, enrolling their child in daycare. Others will have children stay with a relative or friend. But there are some parents who don't have those options, and are in the tough situation where they

If you hold a fascination for science fiction, comic books, UFO's and the T.V. shows and movies spawned from them, don't miss the Galaxy Ranger Fan Days Convention. It's coming to the Abilene Civic Center on Saturday and Sunday, September 29th and 30th. The event, which will benefit the Ben Richey Boys Ranch and our military heroes, will feature guest speaker Dennis Balthasar, and appearances from

Politics, sports, waiting at the doctor's office, technology, having your order screwed up at the drive-thru. Whatever the case, we all have things that frustrate us on a regular - if not daily - basis. Some people, like former tennis star John McEnroe and former basketball coach Bobby Knight, have made themselves famous as much for venting their frustrations as they have for their respective ta

The Olympics will be getting under way in less than 2 weeks. There has been controversy already; from the USA uniforms to the security being provided by a private company not meeting standards. Once the games are underway no one will remember any of that though. It's all about the sports.

The 'John Wayne Film Festival' (JWFF) is returning to Snyder, Texas for the second year in a row. The festival is set for Labor Day weekend, August 31st through September 2nd. The historic Ritz Theater on the square in Snyder is where you'll see some of the Duke's most popular movies on the big screen.

A few days ago, we asked if you were superstitious and thought that Friday the 13th really brings people bad luck. Abilene is pretty split on whether or not they should stay home and hide, or just go about their daily routine. But the final poll results are in.

With Car-Walk finally here, I have been seeing so many classic cars on the streets of Abilene. Every time I see a really hot car, one question keeps popping up in my head. The one question that car enthusiasts argue over, time and time again. Heck, it even started several fist fights back in my old Abilene High School days. Are you a Bow-Tie (Chevrolet) , Pony-car (Ford) or Mopar (Dodge/Chrysler/P
