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 [...]
For those of you empty nesters who may also be caregivers for older parents or others or some of you may yourself be the older parent, take a look at this article about the personal emergency response system and see what you think.

I have been checking out the “HealthVault†to see if it will be of any value to me. Healthvault is an online storage place for your health information.
