Grab Some Goodies for Super Bowl Sunday at the Four Seasons Bake Sale
January 30, 2013 Kids, you and I both know you're busy. You're bound to let some things slip through the cracks of your schedule. And you also know there's apparently a big footyball game Sunday.
So with all your regular malarkey, you probably don't have time to make a bunch of sweet snacks for the family, friends and moochers coming to your house. Why not get some goodies for a great cause and save yourself some trouble while you're at it?

Bing’s in Sedalia Fills Twinkie Void With “Dreamies”
January 9, 2013 2012 brought about the end of Hostess and the beloved Twinkie. I can remember many sporting events where the reward for a good game or what brought your spirits up afterwards was a Twinkie. Even my wife introduced me to the idea of cutting a Twinkie in half and putting strawberries over it to make a Strawberry Shortcake. I admit, Twinkies were not my favorite dessert, but I have been craving them lately.
However, I believe I have found the replacement for the Twinkie, and it lies in Bing's in Sedalia. It is called Mrs. Freshley's Dreamies Creme-Filled Cakes. I saw a display box for them and thought to give them a try.

Are You Sending Out a Holiday Card This Christmas? [POLL]
December 11, 2012 The last two weeks before Christmas is always full of last minute shopping and getting things ready for Dec. 25. One of the great traditions that is done at about this point is the annual end of the year letter with a Christmas card, which is usually the end of the year family photo.
What Christmas Gifts Do You NOT Want To Receive? [SURVEY]
December 7, 2012 My friends will sometimes ask what I want for Christmas. I always have a hard time answering them. The material things I would like to have are items that I cannot afford. Since all of my friends are in a similar socioeconomic position as myself, I get uncomfortable talking about presents. There are a few things I know I don't want though.
What City Do You Go To for Christmas Shopping? [POLL]
December 6, 2012 We are less than 20 days away from Christmas, and the retail industry is still abuzz over much improved sales over 2011. This week I visited several stores to get my Christmas shopping started. All of the store employees I talked to all said business was staying brisk this year. It got me to thinking; when you go holiday shopping, what city do you like to go shopping in?
Be Careful: Buying a Bad Gift Can Cause A Fight [SURVEY]
November 30, 2012 I was talking with Sammy Kershaw this morning about Christmas gifts. We were reminiscing about the time when we had to put actual thought into the presents we bought for people. We had to pay attention to their likes and dislikes and find the gift that would tell them that we cared enough to know they would enjoy having that item. Today we seem to be all about cash and gift cards. Those items seem very impersonal to me. Giving them seems to say "I don't know anything about you, but you're on my Christmas list. So here ya go."
