A 'Bluetooth' is not something from your dentist - I went to my local cell phone store to upgrade my mobile phone recently. This is where I'm technically challenged. My friend, Dominick, was showing me the newest phone that would keep me up to par with the pros. So, I upgraded, and after about an hour of explaining the new features and with kind exhaustion, Dominick sent me on my way, confident th... Full Story

Supporting our troops for Christmas - When I watch the news every day, it just stirs old feelings of what our country has been through.

Are you gifted at re-gifting? - As I sit here making out my Christmas list, I'm trying to remember what I gave for gifts and what I received for gifts last year. I fear that I may repeat the same gifts to a family member, so I call everyone to see what they need. I love to e-Bay and I was a garage sale junkie for a couple years. I would see brand new items in boxes marked down ... Full Story

A dog is worth all the vet bills - I was never a fan of large dogs including German shepherds. I was particularly afraid of German shepherds because I was bitten by one as a child. When my son was little, my husband insisted that every boy needs a dog, and not just a dog, but a big dog. We found a breeder in DeLeon Springs and picked out the perfect small ball of fur. She was so cu... Full Story

Teaching the young at heart new tricks - I think it's so wonderful that we have a way to keep in touch with family and friends living all over the world - thanks to e-mail or chatting by way of the Internet.

Problems always come in threes - Right before I left on my mini vacation, my icemaker stopped dropping ice. It's not the fancy on the door kind but it usually works great. So I've been buying bags of ice until my husband can take time to fix it. I should have known it was going to be a problem when he asked me for the blow dryer. Then when he said he needed parts I panicked. I ... Full Story

Disguise the Limit - Kathy Josenhans In 1966, I was 5 years old. I never could sleep the night before Halloween because I was too excited. The thought of all the candy dancing in my head and my awesome princess costume hanging in the closet kept me up all night.
