Who is the 1%?

After being bombarded with non-stop 99% news I decided to do some digging and came up with some interesting facts. During 2010, the top 1 percent of Americans had a minimum income of $516,600. The bottom 60 percent had a maximum income of $59,000. The bottom 40 percent had a maximum income of $33,800. Finally, the bottom 20 percent had a maximum income of $17,000. Those are the numbers when comparing Americans to Americans. Now let's look at the numbers when comparing our income to the world. The top 1 percent of the world has a minimum income of $68,000. The bottom 60 percent had a maximum income of $3,260. The bottom 40 percent had a maximum income of $1,760. Finally, the bottom 20 percent of all earthlings had a maximum income of $965.

Think about it!

Game Day Snack Stadium

Hi All,
In honor of SuperBowl week I thought I would share something I heard on the radio the other day.  For any of you out there who are planning on hosting a game day party, this is the ultimate party platter for your event:

As for me, my favorite part about the SuperBowl is the commercials and the half-time show.  I'm just excited to snuggle up with my pups, maybe order a pizza, and watch Madonna do her thing. 

Cheers to game day,
Allison

Man's Best Friend

I am in the belief that dogs are a man's best friend. Dogs offer companionship, protection,and they provide a service for the disabled, hunters and the military among other services. You can browse through the news and there is usually some sort of news about how a dog saved their owner from an intruder or from a house fire. I can remember as a kid having several different dogs such as a hunting dog to a stray German Shepherd dog that I took in for a few days until the owner finally claimed him. The German Shepherd was a very smart and playful dog which may have had a hand in making the German Shepherd breed my favorite.



Now doesn't that look like a loyal companion?
