Is it true that ANYTHING – yes, anything at all – can be fun, joyful, a grand adventure? Sounds pretty ridiculous, doesn’t it? Surely the gratitude print below is pure nonsense. Isn’t it? What? Are you kidding me? What can possibly be fun about doing the dishes, or making beds, or vacuuming, or …? But […]

Quite simply: Scott’s Turf Builder Grass Seed is a total winner! For years we have had a substantial part of our lawn covered with bark chips. Of course they decay and we tired of constantly replacing them so decided to change those large areas to grassy lawn. The problem, of course, was that we now […]

Wood blinds are so “in” that they simply fly off the shelves. Personally, we use them all over our house because they’re great for folks like us who don’t like big swathes of fabric hanging in a room. What’s not to like? Wood blinds allow the sunlight but protect our privacy. Wood Blinds, Faux Wood […]

I frequently (constantly!) hear people complaining about back pain. I do a lot of stretching and I regularly go to a chiropractor, so I’m happy to say I don’t have that problem. But folks who won’t take either of those precautions often hurt – and badly. So here are four exercise types that just might […]

Cats are so funny! And this funny cat quote is a great example of the personality that every cat has. Look at the expression on the face of this fine fellow – doesn’t he look like a grumpy old man? He (must be a ‘he’ :-) certainly is conveying his contempt in every possible way. After […]

I’m always grateful and proud on the 4th of July. I’m grateful that I live in the USA and I’m proud to be an American, to quote Lee Greenwood. But there is one thing I don’t much like … … the fireworks! Some of them are OK, but when they’re still going on at 1:00 […]

I can honestly review Perigum, which is advertised as “Nature’s Gum Solution”, AKA a gum regrowth product. The dentist declares that it’s “impossible” to regrow gum tissue. I don’t believe that, but Perigum is definitely NOT the answer I’m seeking. I decided to try it because of the multitude of reviews claiming that it works. […]

Thank And Grow Rich, by Pam Grout, is a book about gratitude. There aren’t many thoughtful people who wouldn’t agree that we all could use more gratitude in our daily lives. After all, we’re swimming in blessings. Recently I read an estimate that it would take 200 slaves in the days of Imperial Rome to […]

Summer is officially here! It happened on June 21 and I have to say that I’m NOT happy about it! I don’t like hot and humid weather and, yes, I recognize the irony of living in Atlanta, Georgia and disliking the heat.  But I found the PERFECT video to express my displeasure over the steamy […]

If you’ve ever been afraid (ha, ha) you already know how hard it is to let go of your fear. But what if it’s actually very simple? Of course, we’re not talking about a lion chasing you across the savannah because that’s a short term and totally sane fear. The kind of fear we mean […]
