Interesting things happen to me in the early morning hours on the Internet, and today is no exception. My friend, Tracy, posted a link on Facebook to a new auction site…one with a twist. This one, Listia.com, is a barter auction site that runs on credits rather than money. Her post said I’d get free credits to start out with if I got an account, and to...

When friends behave strangely, act out of character, or do something that in any other situation, with anyone else, you might take offense, take a deep breath and give them the benefit of the doubt. Ask yourself, “If the situation were reversed, what would I want most from me right now?” Then do that. Because you care. Because you, too, make...

My friends know that I’m quite cerebral…always good for a unique perspective or a question no one’s thought to ask quite that way. I can entertain myself for hours with ideas. So it would come as no surprise to them that I like TED talks…introduced to me in 2010 by a kindred cerebral friend. On this first Sunday of the new year, I ask you to...

NaBloPoMo has declared the blogging topic for January 2011 is friends. Best friends, worst friends, friends of the family . . . how many do you have, how many do you need, and where are they when you need them? If ever there was a topic I could blog about everyday for a month solid, this is it. Throughout my life, it has been my friends who’ve sustained me....

I will SOOOOOOO do it like this! If I can't be this happy about, there's just no point.... (Click through to see.)

SUPPOSEDLY if you’ve seen over 85 films, you have no life. There are 239 films on this list. Copy this list, go to your own blog, paste this as a post. Then, put x’s next to the films you’ve seen, add them up, change the header adding your number, and publish. Have fun. (X) Rocky Horror Picture Show (X) Grease () Pirates of the Caribbean () Pirates...

Ok, I’m guessing it would not surprise some of you to find out I’m a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, through and through. So, to tell you that 24 hours later, I’m STILL grinning about them winning their SIXTH Super Bowl yesterday (take THAT, Dallas Cowboysgirls!)…well, I’m guessing that wouldn’t be much of a shock either. After a busy,...

When my good friend Lisa sent me this recipe, I thought it was perfect for people like me, who are not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but not too dry. Give this a try. Ingredients: 8 – 15 lb. turkey 1 c melted butter 1 c stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is Good.) 1 c uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE REDDENBACHER’S LOW FAT) Salt/pepper to...

I’ve been meaning to take this picture for awhile now, but it just keeps getting better and better. I finally took it yesterday, but since, the price has gone down a few cents, yet again. In September, it cost me $60 to fill my car. Yesterday, it took $25. Enjoy it while we can, folks. I picked up Sweet Pea yesterday morning and we took her out to see her...
