Freaky Frugalite

I missed Wordless Wednesday, so consider these as my tardy contribution. LOL!

So which one are you? I think I have a serious case of Christmas Carol #9. CHRISTMAS CAROLS FOR THE DISTURBED - 1. Schizophrenia — Do You Hear What I Hear? 2. Multiple Personality Disorder — We Three Kings Disoriented Are 3. Dementia — I Think I’ll be Home for Christmas 4. Narcissistic — Hark [...]

I know I’ve had a lot of videos this week. But WOW this is another stellar one, especially when you enlarge the video to fill the screen. It’s a time lapse video taken by the guys at the International Space Station, from April 2011 to October 2011. I have never wanted to be an astronaut… [...]

Facebook is a fountain of…. well, faces, I guess. And funny and witty photos! This past week, it seemed that everyone was posting funny cartoons and images! I nabbed several and thought I’d share. Because sharing makes you feel good inside, right? Believe it or not, I have even MORE to show ya! I’ll have [...]

I don’t often tinker with my photos, besides cropping and sharpening the image. But we took so many stunning images of the Adirondack Mountains when we traveled there two weeks ago… I was inspired! I use Paint Shop Pro X2, a very nice program. It comes with a “time machine” effect. This effect is perhaps [...]

When visiting Blue Mountain Lake, NY, last week, we visited the Adirondack Museum, one of the largest museums in Upstate New York. It took us two days to get through! There, we learned just about everything there is to know about the Adirondack Park region. The museum had a section dedicated to Lake Placid, a [...]

Isn’t that a funny video?! It took FOREVER to load, though. Thank God people don’t send earthquake news via YouTube, or we’d be still waiting for the buffering…. :hmph: Twitter IS pretty speedy. Quite a number of times, I’ve gotten up-to-date news that was not available anywhere. When we had the bad flooding last week [...]

Woohooo! It’s that time of year again, parents! Back to prison public school! I remember those historic “first days” of school very well… the sinking feeling that summer is officially over, the crack-of-dawn bus rides, the sweaty classrooms… yeah. I thought I’d pitch in, do my part as a very devoted taxpayer and offer you [...]

I never thought I’d say that a hurricane was good, but I checked the stats for my travel blog yesterday, and the traffic has spiked dramatically. The reason? The hurricane. Hurricane Irene, to be precise. Hurricanes are rare animals here in New York and New England. There have only been a few that hit us [...]

Update: A friend informed me of a followup to this story which was featured on several news publications. Apparently, the study in this story was just a “diversionary” project and not officially launched (so to speak) by NASA or any official body. Which is a relief. So please take the following as a work of [...]
