Tomorrow is Memorial Day, and while we are all having our Bar-B-Que cook outs, opening our pools, and having fun in the sun with family and friends, Let us take a moment or two and reflect on this. In Flanders FieldsJohn McCrae, 1915.In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on rowThat mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, a... Read Full Story

I like to shop on line, with 2 little ones at home, it's much easier to do most of my shopping on line. Whether I'm searching for clothing, or jewelry or just about anything, I like to see if I can find it on line first. I found out that over at Uk Shopping.com you can search for and compare a range of goods from computers, garden products, furniture, lingerie through jewelery to clothing they also offer product reviews. I have friends in the Uk, and I will find this site very usefu... Read Full Story

Today was a stay in the pool or a/c day. Temp was/is around 90.We had planned on going shopping for some shrubs for edging down the sides of our driveway, and some palms for in the back yard behind the pool, but I decided it was too freaking hot, and humid. Maybe next week.I am still getting used to living in Florida. I know back home in PA, this time of year is still really iffy, usually cold and rain. I can't remember the last time we had a nice hot day on Memorial day in PA. Here in FL... Read Full Story

I'm pretty sure everyone knows the term Black Friday, but for those of you that don't. It's the term used for the huge Christmas shopping sales that goes on the day after Thanksgiving.I used to have to work on Black Fridays in days on by, so I have no desire to shop on that day. I can't stand all the people, the pushing, shoving and plain out and out rudeness of people on that day, I prefer to stay home and hide.Dr. Corny (my highly educated hunk of a husband) on the other han...

Sometimes, reality is just, well, too freaking real! Every once in a while, I would like to get the chance to be the one who is NOT responsible.The carefree one, who doesn't worry about consequences, who just fly by the seat of my pants and does whatever feels good at the moment without a worry or care in the world.Doesn't seem fair to me, that I'm the one who has to always do the right thing. I'm the one who has to worry and fret, not about myself, oh no, there is no time for... Read Full Story

Back in October of this year we moved to Florida. It was a huge move, with buying a new home, new employment, and trying to figure out who our new utility companies were, and contact them to get service turned on. The electric was a breeze because our Realtor was able to supply us with that info as well as the trash pick up and water company. What she couldn't help us with was an Internet provider. We had to search and search providers in our new area and look for the pricing of different... Read Full Story

Mighty Bug is now 10 weeks old and is starting to hold his head up on his own. It's still a little bit wobbly but he is getting stronger by the day..and growing like crazy. So much so that he will very soon grow out of the Boppy Chair we bought him. That is a really neat baby seat, it vibrates, plays soothing sounds etc. So last night we went and got him a baby swing. It's so cute, with a Winnie the pooh Mobile just like his bassinet. Guess Winnie is the theme this year. We didn't... Read Full Story

Ring, Ring, seems my phone is always ringing. I don't answer calls from numbers I don't know. Most of the time it's annoying telemarketers, and they always call at the most inconvenient times. I am on the Do Not Call List, but somehow, they sneak thru.How about when you constantly get calls from the same number and they don't leave a message, they just hang up. At Whose Number Is It?, you can get No Call List Information. You can even get Reverse Cell Phone Lookups, as well as... Read Full Story
