This looks like such fun!

This looks like an Improv Everywhere stunt – but I don’t think it is.  Apparently it’s a commercial for Volkswagon.  But the fast lane slide sure looks like a lot of fun!

Nutritional help for fibromyalgia?

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

There is a product called Capra Flex that claims that it is good for joint health and relieves fibromyalgia.  One of my uncles suffers from fibromyalgia, and my mother is going to order a bottle of this for him and see if it helps relieve his symptoms.  My mother was told about this Capra Flex by one of our neighbors, who swears that it helps her husband. 

Cool mouse

Friday, June 10th, 2011

I found a new kind of computer mouse that is called a wireless air mouse that I think is just about the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.  I want to buy one, and I found a great deal on one from a website called bestonlinecoupons.com. This wireless air mouse you don’t even have to put on a mouse pad or any kind of surface, you can just wave it in the air!  How cool is that!  The mouse that I have right now is the standard mouse that uses a USB cable to connect to the computer and you have to use it on a mouse pad.  Imagine the freedom I can have if I don’t have to have it connected with a cable and can just wave it in the air!

A reading debate – is reading comics really reading?

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

I can remember when I was younger, I read everything I could get my hands on.  I love to read!  I always HAVE loved to read!  When I was babysitting a neighbor’s kid a few nights ago, I brought a book with me to read after the kid was asleep.  The mother asked me how I would suggest she get her kid to read more.  I told her to let her kid read whatever interested her – even if it meant just reading comic books or reading things over the Internet.  Reading is reading, it doesn’t matter what the medium is.  If you take away your kids comic books, and that is the only thing the kid WILL read, you are hurting the chances of the kid ever developing into a good reader and moving on to other things.  I brought that up because when I was younger my father always complained that I was wasting my time reading comic books.  Well, I’m an avid reader, and I think that reading comic books encouraged me to read more things!  So, parents, if your kids want to read comic books, then let them read comic books!

Lesson – never pick on someone bigger than you are

Monday, March 21st, 2011

When I was a little girl, and was learning to deal with life issues, such as bullies, my parents taught me that eventually a bully tries to pick on the wrong person and gets the stuffing beat out of him. I guess this youngster learned this lesson the hard way.
