Life has been
just too much character-building lately. Sometimes….I really really really REALLY wish I knew how NOT to give a damn, how NOT to care, how NOT to see other people’s sides of things…..
If only I was one selfish woman who focused solely upon my wants and desires and lacked the ability to […]

Morning,
School will be out in less than 2 months. Can you believe that? I started last month or so planning out the summer; I now realize I need to add some massive physical education to it as well. Yesterday while my husband took some of our kids swimming, I practiced karate […]

I remember doing
this in Camp Ling last summer! If you put a Mentos in a diet soda, you can cause a mini-geyser to erupt (which is ‘way cool).
But here, folks take that to the limit! To wit:
… and the world records just keep rolling in. Finally, the Europeans get into the […]

Pot of Gold Fail
Jack Fail
Failure of Fountain Fish
Failboat takes a Walk
Pizza Fail

I recently read a great article at Air Pollution: Monitoring the Air You Breathe. To wit:

Today’s phrase of the day is “Courage consists of hanging on, one minute longer.”
My gosh, it really does.

Morning,
I had heard about this two weeks ago but now it’s being picked up by mainstream media. To wit:
…James Karl Buck sent a message using Twitter which helped get him out of an Egyptian jail.

Coming home has to be one of the most wonderful things a body can do.
After 3 days and 1,380 miles, I’m finally back home and ready to tackle work again. This was a great test of Wordpress - prior to leaving, I just about all of me blogs with content so it […]

This just came
across my radar earlier today - 100 sites to find the Elite in Any Given Field.

Morning,
And how has your Spring Break been? My kids have been enjoying a wonderful time, I’ve practiced my martial arts, the Twitter budgies are happily decimating my office and, well, life is quite good indeed.
I’ve been thinking about what is involved with creating online products…while at first glance it’s, well, huge, if you […]
