Stay Warm and Save on Heating Oil
With the rising cost of fuel oil it is getting to be really expensive to heat our house. We are in need of oil yet again. At this rate we might be freezing to death by the time the really cold weather hits us. We are looking into alternate ways to heat the house and…

Just Say No To Stretch Pants
Why do clothing manufacturers feel that all overweight people must wear stretch pants? It is next to impossible to find jeans that do not include some kind of stretch material. Personally, I hate stretch jeans. They never fit right and if they are slightly tight in one area they stretch and pull down the pants…

Surgical Weight Loss Options
A few years ago my sister had gastric bypass surgery. Back then you did not hear too much about the Lap Band procedure and what you did hear wasn’t always good. She went through a very serious surgery for the sake of her health. Since then the Lap Band procedure has come a long way…

Money Troubles That’s The Life For Me, Not!
I am so screwed being out of work all this time from that damn accident. My boss told me she would pay me for my time off work, but also said she would only cover the part of my lost wages that insurance did not cover. This was very generous especially since we do not…

When Testing Hurts
I had my ultrasound on my legs today to make sure I do not have any blood clots. I pressured the doctor into allowing the test because I have been staying up too late watching Discovery Health and I got scared of DVTs or deep vein thrombosis. Let me tell you this is one of…

No Post Office Lines for Me
Went to the post office today. And even with it being just a few days before Xmas it wasn’t too busy or maybe that is why it wasn’t busy. My idea was to just quickly run in and ship my eBay sale off to the customer via the self-service kiosk. But it was three people…

Went Back To Work Today
First day back at work. Okay so it was not a full days work but it was work. The commute alone was bad enough but then sitting there for four hours at the computer nearly killed me. The job is not hard it is computer work after all, but with my injuries my legs need…

PJ Bottoms Not A Good Fashion Choice
Why do people wear PJ bottoms out it public? Is it really that hard to put on a pair of jeans before leaving the house? This is an idiotic fashion statement, especially in the middle of winter. The thin flannel cannot be warm. Yeah they are comfy, but comfy for the home sitting around watch…

What’s the big deal?
Yesterday I posted about Jodie Foster possibly outing herself at the recent Women in Entertainment Breakfast. While this is important to me I don’t really seeing it as being big news. But it appears that it is. Just google it for yourself. You’ll get all the little blogs like mine but a lot of big…

Let the Healing Begin
I have to say I am starting to feel a little better. I have been gauging my rib pain by how horrible it feels when I sneeze. The first sneeze last week almost killed me the pain was so bad, but today all it did was make me want to cry. So I would have…

Ice Storms Got You Down? Get Away
I am so sick of being cooped up in the house. And now the weatherman is threatening me with horrible weather. Last weekend we saw how an ice storm literally froze the mid-west. Heck, it looked like Mr. Freeze from Batman hit the area with his freeze ray. The poor folks in three states, which…

Jodie Foster Out or Not?
Looks like Jodie foster may have just outed herself after all these years of wondering. During her recent acceptance speech for the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award at the 16th Annual Women in Entertainment breakfast she publicly thanked her long time friend Cydney Bernard. She thanked her by saying, “my beautiful Cydney who sticks with me…
Got any movie recommendations?
