We are going to get our 11 year old daughter one of the new lime green iPods for her birthday. She has a long bus ride to her magnet school each day and she's mentioned (read as: HINT!) that many of the kids have Ipods because the bus is so loud. Well, if you buy it online, they have free engraving....

I was at the MSG show last night and Jimmy mentioned that John Hiatt was one of the original members of his band. I am a huge John Hiatt fan (and a huge JB fan) and had never heard this before. The Wikipedia entry for John Hiatt doesn't mention anything about it either. Did I hear Jimmy wrong last ...

This is WONDERFUL news!!

I don't use this sort of thing, but the wife of my husband's best friend does. She loves it and her husband says the meals are good. I do my own verison of that and often have meals cooked ahead in my freezer.....I just don't go somewhere else to do it. It's worth a try I think....if you don't like ...

We are down to 2.39$. I can't recall the last time around here I've seen it so low.

Something tells me it won't be staying like this for long though.

The following Public Service Announcement brought to you from a victim of identity theft - Please be CAREFUL about where and what you info you share - esp. things like (mother's) maiden names since that is often used a security "key" at places like banks. [smilie=lol.gif] (me lecturing) I...

I am sort of surprised....my maiden name was the 2,853rd, but I've never met anyone else with it in my life. My married name, Justice, is 1,159 which would have be surprising to me, until we moved to the South. My late MILs maiden name was 53,498rd! My mother's wasn't listed, not shocking, as I am f...

Buffett wont play in Cleveland anymore(at least at Blossom) because of the security BS the fans were going through. DUI checkpoints on the way IN to the show. This was making MANY people miss sometimes up to an hour of the show. I had this happen to a friend of mine I refused to go there anymore be...

I live in an apartment. Got a letter from the office informing everyone that all new leases and any renewal leases will require the leasee to have renters insurance. They gladly point out that they have just started providing their own renters insurance to their residents. Sounds like they just wan...

The main thing that has changed since we started going there, is the number of selling-stuff fundraisers have been reduced. There's only 1 sell-stuff fundraiser, a fun-run, and a dinner/dance/auction thing. My daughter is going to a new school...they don't do any fundraisers - they simply ask paren...

I have an executive board meeting of the PTA and I'm plugging in all the numbers for the budget this year. Plus, I'm going to have to go toe-to-toe with a chairperson that did not handle her budget in the manner she described in great detail in front of the membership last fall. UGH My sympathies. ...

Good luck in Raleigh. In about 1997 or so I helped run the ice handouts for the Red Cross Triangle Area Chapter for several days. Wilmington had been hit (was that Hurricane Fran? My memory is a bit foggy and the plaque is at home so I cannot look it up) but folks down there were prepared. Raleigh,...

My friend's mother lives a bit off the coast where John is coming in at. When Fabiola called last night her Mom said that the wind and rain were starting already that far inland. As for Ernesto...it is suppoused to come right over Raleigh, but I am pretty confident that it won't be much more then ra...

Jimmy Buffett's new video, "Bama Breeze," premieres Thursday August 31st on CMT . It will be showcased throughout Labor Day weekend. I'll have to surf through that channel a few times to see if I catch it. Shame it's on CMT and not something like VH1. They don't show videos on VH1 anymore...

For all of you pit lovers: we have someone on our side. Cesar Millan. He was in Ontario and spoke to the public about breed legislation and how ridiculous it is. His website addresses the issue and on his show "The Dog Whisperer", he has had many episodes with pits and explains that it is...

That would be fitting.

The latest fad is mixing breeds with poodles to get a more hypoallergnic (sp) coat. Labradoodles and golden doodles from my experience tend to be hyper and brainless. Lots of poodle mixes at the dog park....hum...I don't approve of 'designer' dogs but I am not sure I would agree with the hyper and ...

I've read where in the '70's, German Shepards were responsible for the highest number of maulings, deaths... In the '80's, it was Great Danes... and in the early '90's.: Rottweilers Now, it's Pit Bulls... :-? Very true....I know at one time that Cocker Spanials had a very high rate of biting. Had t...
