Onions Bad for Canines, But Why
Earlier this week I had just asked myself why were onions bad for dogs? I meant to look it up online but never got around to it [as I don’t have a dog it is not a pressing matter]. Then tonight while in waiting room at the doctor’s office I was reading a National Geographic…

Postcard Printing for You and Me
Sometimes email just isn’t good enough and you need to resort to snail mail (also known as the United Postal Service). Believe it or not it is just more reliable sometimes. What am I talking about, you might ask. Well, I had some friends move and I never got their email. If they had followed…
