You can go to the Sears website about their Big One Day sale and look at their weekly ad specials for your local area. You will be asked [...]

My sweet little Livvy- isn’t she cute? She’s growing so fast now. I really miss the tiny kitten stage. Couldn’t they stay smaller longer? Well, of course she is the darling of the house. The kids have been very busy with the camera these days. Like i always say, cats and babies are cutest when [...]

America, home of the free, land of the brave. I am SO grateful to be an American citizen. I know we have our problems here, but there is no other nation ever in world history that has afforded its citizens such freedom and prosperity. But freedom does come at a cost- the cost of “eternal [...]

Well that was a wild week. I blogged about getting inundated with spam by a certain few IP addresses, and it got a little attention- looks like everybody who had WordPress blogs was getting clobbered! The IP keeps changing, of course. Earlier this week, it was 90.102.64.127 and then there were the .150 to .153 [...]

I wash my dishes by hand. In the summer, it’s not too bad, but come winter, my hands are so dry and sore that they crack and bleed. I’ve been experimenting with various hand lotions to help solve this problem (it’s gotten worse since I’ve gotten older). But the problem with hand lotion is that [...]

Holy cow. Am I really watching a spambot attack?! I am being slammed with comment spam on all my blogs- all of them. TONS and TONS of spam and they are all coming from the same IP or two: 94.102.60.151 or 94.102.60.152. And then there are probably more. It’s a IP I have traced to [...]

I’ve been reading on many blogs about the wonderful things you Asians get to eat. I can NEVER read blogs while hungry anymore- I’ll go insane! Your food always looks soooo good. Here in Upstate NY, we eat a lot of beef and root vegetables during the winter. I like it enough, but your fresh [...]

Here’s a cool website I found: Waterford Press Games. There are tons and tons of printable worksheets, puzzles, mazes, and word games for kids. The site is free to use for personal use. They even have little activities (like origami) and I LOVE the quizzes (scroll down to the bottom of the page for those). [...]

Need car parts? Of course you do! Cars need car parts like we need air. Some cars, like mine, need more and more car parts every year! :-p It’s a good thing we can find stuff for affordable prices on the Internet. GONE are the days when we were at the mercy of the dealerships, [...]

This is a very cool site, for kids and adults. I loved going through the photos- it’s called Atmospheric Optics. It’s a site dedicated to the weird phenomenon that go on in the earth’s atmosphere. They have photos from all around the world, and some of the photos are stunning. This is an example of [...]
