>LOLCats
I happened across this picture of a cat driving a car and it reminded me of Toonces. Remember him? He was the cat on Saturday Night Live that drove a car and always wound up going off a cliff.
The first Toonces skit was aired on May 20th, 1989, and featured Steve Martin as Toonces’ owner. [...]

As we empty nesters get older and take more medicines, get depressed, maybe drink a bit more alcohol than we should, and maybe even have some stress, our mouths, just like a lot of things in these older bodies, tend to dry up.
I’m not just talking about having a dry mouth because you have [...]

Yes, I have a Facebook account but I don’t spend a lot of time using it. I did find an old (I use the term old loosely) friend on there last night, and we emailed back and forth to get updated on what the other one has been doing the last few years.
We moved [...]

Eggs! Remember a few years ago, when eggs were our worst enemy? If you wanted to live past the age of 23, you had to stay as far away from eggs as you possibly could. They were so chock full of cholesterol that your veins would be clogged before the egg hit your stomach. In [...]

I just saw an ad asking, “Have you started your holiday projects?” Wow, I hadn’t even thought of holiday projects yet but now I realize that Christmas is just five short months from today. This means we have 152 shopping days until Christmas! Or if you do “projects”, you only have 152 days to get [...]

It seems as if Obama’s healthcare plan may be in a bit of trouble. He’s in a huge hurry to get it passed before the August recess of the Senate and House. This is so that the opponents of the plan won’t have time to get their info out to the public and give the [...]

Well, it seems the powers that be in Florida have started issuing permits to a few python hunters to allow them to go into the Everglades and hunt down the pythons that have taken up residency there.

Our daughter and son-in-law and three of their four children who are visiting us this week were in an accident on busy Interstate 4 in central Florida today. Another car had a tire blow out, bumped our kids’ van in the rear side, pulled back somehow and again bumped the side of our kids’ van, [...]

New Uses for Ketchup and Vinegar

Did you know you can clean copper pots just by rubbing them gently with ketchup and then washing away all that old nasty tarnish. Now this makes one wonder, what is ketchup doing to the inside of our tummies. I suppose at least we don’t have any tarnish in there.
If you have leg cramps, some [...]

A friend of ours is having brain surgery later this week (she has some small aneurisms that need fixed) and a website has been set up so that her family can simply put on there how things went and anything else they want friends and family to know. Everyone they want to be able to [...]
