Hi folks!  At my sister’s suggestion, I just joined Technorait!  If you would like to check out my Technorati Profile, click on the link!  She said that joining Technorati is a good move to make if you want other folks to find your own blog easier!  I’m curious to learn more about it!

Toxic shower curtains

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

I was reading an article in the LA Times about how recent research has determined that some new shower curtains give off toxic chemicals for up to an entire month after they have been opened. Not all, but many shower curtains are made with PVC, a type of vinyl that has been linked to many health hazards. Some shower curtains are made from a safer ethylene vinyl acetate, and some are made from fabric.

I think that in the future, when I buy a new shower curtain (or curtain liner!) I will look carefully at the label and see what it is made from before I buy it! If it’s made from PVC, I will be putting it back on the shelf!

PS 3

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

Just spoke with my sister on the phone. Her son recently bought a new Play Station 3. He is very impressed with it thus far, after playing only a couple of games. He could only find the system with the 40 GB hard drive but plans on getting another Play Station 3 when the new Socom is released on the system so he and his friends can play games online together.

The controllers are wireless and light weight and don’t require batteries. He bought an extra controller so he could play games with friends. He has been having a blast playing Call of Duty 4 online but he is looking forward to playing some of the other games he bought – Drakes Fortune and Unreal Tournament 3.

When the death of HD was announced he decided to buy a Play Station 3 because in order to compete with the new Play Station 3 the XBOX system now has to either sell a blu-ray add-on to the XBOX system or release a new system with better graphics or more power than the Play Station.

Hello world!

Hello fellow bloggers!  Well, this blog was a surprise gift to me from my brother, who thought it would be a good idea for me to start my own blog.  Maybe he thought I could regale the cyberspace audience with my stories and give his ears and eyes a break!  Diverting my chatter elsewhere, probably his ulterior motive!  Well, that may be……..  Should I be insulted?  Maybe!  Well, I’ll give it a shot and see what happens.  Stay tuned for whatever comes out of my brain and through my fingers!  Happy surfing!
