Susan Boyle has done it again. She does another incredible job singing in the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent. See it for yourself on YouTube. I don’t know how much longer this show goes on, but I think Susan Boyle certainly has the talent to win. Even if she doesn’t win, she should be able [...]

I just discovered this odd little bit of news. Researchers have now figured out a way to make monkeys that glow green under a special light! My first thought was, WHY?? But apparently there is a good reason. They will be better able to study certain diseases with these monkeys since not only their [...]

It has rained for almost two weeks straight here in Florida. We needed the water but we probably have enough by now.
According to some weather website, up until last weekend, we had had 22 inches of rain since the first of this year, and 18 of it since the first of May! Wow!
So everything is [...]

I hope everyone is having an enjoyable Memorial Day and in the midst of it, has time to stop and take a moment to think about those who have passed before, whether family, friends, or military. In this time of turmoil, our soldiers in the field are very important people and we need to remember [...]

I’m hearing that our cell phone numbers are going to be made public on the first of June. More good news, now telemarketers can get these numbers and call our cell phones, not only bugging the daylights out of us but making it so we have to use our minutes to listen to their drivel. [...]

Several weeks ago, I mentioned that we had gotten a magicJack which is a telephone system that plugs right into the USB port on your computer and into your telephone and gives you phone service at a very reduced rate.
I thought I would let everyone know that it seems to be working well. I call [...]

To boost your immunity apparently Vitamin D can be very helpful. Especially on respiratory infections, Vitamin D is very important. Studies say that those with the lowest Vitamin D levels are 36 percent more likely to get the flu or have a cold. Yuck!
Plus they think that about 80 percent of Americans are Vitamin D [...]

I don’t know if Chinch Bugs are only in Florida, but I do know they ate a nice big chunk of our front yard. So now we’ve resodded it and then it has to be watered. Florida is finally starting to get a bit of rain but really not enough per day to give this [...]

Testing the Water

We just got a notice from our local Yahoo group that there may be a scam afoot in our little retirement community. It seems several residents (ourselves included) recently received official-looking mail offering to test the water in our homes. Apparently they are only interested in selling us something to fix our bad water, which [...]

Happy Mother’s Day to all you empty nest mommies out there. Even though your nest may now be empty, you’re still a mother at heart! And as a lady at church used to say, even if you yourself never had any kids, you did have a mother, so happy mother’s day from that direction.
Although my [...]
