Freaky Frugalite

I must be on a vehicle fixation or something. I found this video and LOVED it! It’s a Renault “car ballet” (here in my archives I also posted a stunning car ballet by Hyundai). This one is a little different. This one crashes cars ON PURPOSE. While playing classical music. With elegance. LOL. PUB RENAULT [...]

Arriba! I love it when hard-working women “make it big.” Ever hear of Laura Diaz? This lady is making her way up, and up. In special honor of Martin Luther King, Jr., Day, where we recognize “minority” individuals for their merits, contributions to American society, and successes- Laura Diaz deserves some laud. Her story will [...]

I was looking at my traffic stats yesterday. Look at how it is broken down by country. Isn’t that amazing?! I mean- Kenya? Iceland?! Serbia? Kuwait?! What is “BA” by the way? And are these spambots, or are these real people? And- MAN- I really need to brush up on my formal English for this [...]

Dear Dodge Minivan Manufacturers, I’ve been a loyal Dodge Grand Caravan owner for almost two decades. I bought my first one way back in 1992, back when minivans where just starting to come into popularity. I had to give up my beloved Chevrolet Nova because I couldn’t squeeze three infants with their mammoth car seats [...]

I found this cute little site, Netflix Origami. LOL! Who makes this stuff up?!? I love this one, the shirt. I can barely make a paper airplane… this shirt just blows my mind. Ooo, and here’s a handy-dandy little snack tray! But it’s so tiny, I can’t imagine trying to squeeze a “snack” into it, [...]

I posted a few days ago that my new kitten, Livvy, lost a tooth. Livvy’s friend (and modeling mentor) Daisy the Curly Cat whispered to Livvy that perhaps if the tooth went under a pillow, the Tooth Fairy *wink wink* might leave Livvy a treat. Livvy seemed very agreeable to the idea, as she has [...]

(I just KNEW I’d find good use of that LOLCat photo someday!) I was upstairs, tidying up the bedroom and making the bed covers neat. My kitten Livvy loves to play when I do this. She scurries under the covers and I throw the blankets on top. She then mews until I throw them back [...]

Am I unusual? I don’t like chocolates or flowers for Valentine’s Day. Chocolates last forever (on my hips, that is), and flowers die after a few days (especially here in frozen Upstate NY). I prefer stuff that lasts a lifetime or more, like jewelry- nice jewelry. If you need ideas for the upcoming sweetheart holiday, [...]

I saw this news report this morning, saying that there are now more grossly obese people then overweight people in America. The number of obese American adults outweighs the number of those who are merely overweight, according to the latest statistics from the federal government. Numbers posted by the National Center for Health Statistics show [...]

I was bloghopping tonight, and saw this cover to the latest “hot sheet” (tabloid) and had to laugh. Those crazy alien drivers! Think of it- they invent super-duper spaceships that can travel the universe and soar into our atmosphere, avoiding detection by government spy satellites (and Google Earth), and then crash headlong into one of [...]
