I am a relatively new blogger to twitter. Since I joined just over a month ago, I made many new friends on twitter and have found that it provides me with good traffic to my website. The last two weeks I have noticed some little buggy problems. When you do a search for new people, this hasn’t been working. Yesterday I wanted to extend an invitation to some of my fiends to use twitter. Today I have not even been able to log in. For something that is so good in linking people together, th...

There are some days that no matter how hard you try just don’t go as planned. I had my day all planned out on my to do list. Some of the things on my to do list required internet usage. It started this morning when I was about to trade some of my stocks that have been sitting idle in my 401K. I wanted to trade them up to be more aggressive. Turned out the stock I was looking at was a good winner today. But I didn’t get to do what I wanted when I wanted to because my internet went ... Read Full Story

Have you ever been in a relationship and felt lonely at the same time? I do. The guy I am with is a great guy. He does a lot of stuff for me and I appreciate him so much. Sometimes I have a hard time expressing it. I think most of us that have been in a long term relationship can relate. I think the reason I feel alone right now is because I don’t feel any emotional support from him with things I am doing in my life. I know is probably a guy thing. MDPC does support me in many ways. Rig... Read Full Story

I don’t know why I try cooking sometimes. MDPC refuses to even try it. I think that he thinks I am a disaster when it comes to cooking. I would never post a recipe on here that wasn’t edible or highly rated. Your comments are appreciated on any of the recipes I post. 2 cooked chicken breasts (I grilled it and seasoned with black pepper, sea salt and lime.) 1 tablespoon butter 1/4 cup chopped green onions 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon cummin 1 can diced green chiles...

Yesterday I tried to cook scalloped potatoes. It did not turn out. I was really bummed. In the recipe it said to fry thinly sliced potatoes in a frying pan until golden brown before adding the cheese sauce. When I did this my potatoes stuck to the pan and ended up being potato mush. I learned a very important lesson. Using good equipment is sometimes the most important part of cooking. I decided I am not going to attempt any recipe that requires a frying pan until I get new equipment. Read Full Story

Today I went to post some stuff I cleaned out of closets to sell on eBay. I have previously sold stuff on eBay before. It has been a while since I last sold anything. When I went to post an item, eBay asked for my credit card. What happened to the old way of selling on eBay? You list an item and they take your final value fees out of your eBay account. Now instead of selling one item, eBay wants you to sign up for a monthly subscription to sell your stuff. That’s just greedy, greedy, gr... Read Full Story

Over the last few weeks I have been working on dejunking my 3,000 square foot house. This has been an overwhelming task. I would say that right now I am at the half way mark. I still have much more that needs to be done. I have been working on one room at a time, giving away many things and attempting to sell things of value that I don’t need. I have found that during this process of conquering my overwhelming pack rat ways, it has improved my self esteem. I never thought that getting r... Read Full Story
