My Pal Made Me a Bag!
September 16, 2012
I got this in the mail. Isn’t it beautiful! My friend Karen from ChatBugKaren made it! I have been admiring her quilt work for eons. I needed a new bag to carry my stuff to church and back. Now that I am in my mid 40′s, I figured it was time to retire my nylon […]

I gave my daughter my nice Otterbox iPhone case because… well, because I am a generous, kind, loving soul. Also because I spotted a dirt cheap case on eBay and I wanted to get it! It’s called the “iFace Revolution” iPhone case and it’s a really, really nice case. It took THREE WEEKS to get […]
It’s Just Not Worth It
March 19, 2012
I sold some stuff on an online auction site recently. I haven’t sold anything in a long time, so I naturally stuck with my traditional “low prices” and “free shipping” offers. Oh dear, that was a big mistake. For one, even though the items were listed at very low prices and the stuff got a […]

Damart Thermolactyl vs. Old Man Winter
January 24, 2012
Comments Off
That isn’t the name of a new Godzilla movie, as cool as it would be. Thermolactyl is a fiber, for a type of ladies and mens thermal underwear. Today, I am reminded of Damart’s thermolactyl on Upstate New York’s traditionally coldest day of the year. My oldest son just informed me that he’s outgrown his […]
Zenni Optical Goes High Tech
January 10, 2012
Comments Off
Have you ever taken a really close look at the iPhone or those high-tech screen protectors? I have. No matter how much I handle my phone, the screen display really doesn’t get dirtied with fingerprints. I figured maybe the reason was because the iPhone is made of glass, but that’s not it at all. It’s […]
