Handiest of Handy Tools
This little screwdriver set is the best one I have ever had. Seriously. I needed to dissect a dead harddrive and needed a star shaped screwdriver. I could have gotten a just a set of those (for more money) but grabbed this set instead even though I already had the flat and the cross heads.…

Sticky Buddy Great for Pet Owners
I just got a chance to try out the [amazon_link id=”B007FRSX0U” target=”_blank” ]Sticky Buddy[/amazon_link] and while I am skeptical of ALL As Seen On TV products, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. [amazon_link id=”B007FRSX0U” target=”_blank” ]The Sticky Buddy[/amazon_link] quickly and easily removed all cat hair left by my three kitties on their favorite sleeping spots. It…

Apartment Fire Takes Friends House
A friend of mine lost her house this week. She, her husband and her pets all got out safely. Fire really scares me and this got me thinking about how quickly we could get the cats out of the house if this happened here. We will be setting up an emergency kitty kit and getting a plan…

Worlds Best Cat Litter
It really isn’t just a self-aggrandizing name, it really is the World’s Best Cat Litter. I won a bag in a contest on Twitter and tried it out on our cats and I just loved it and so did the cats. It is almost dustless, which was so nice when filling the box. No cloud…

Snickers Peanut Butter YUM
I had an opportunity to sample the new Snickers Peanut Butter candy bars, at least I would have if I wasn’t allergic to peanuts! So I did a private sampling with all my co-workers and friends. The overall opinion was that is was a very tasty candy bar. This only made me want to try…

Star Trek Review Part 1
Saw the new Star Trek movie last night and all I can say right now is “WOW!” I am headed to the IMAX today to see it again and maybe I will be able to formulate more of an actual review at that point, but until then here is my friend’s review from last nights…

Bad Dogs Shouldn’t Be Put Down Give Em a Job
Mean dogs are given a second chance at life in Idaho. According to the Associated Press dogs that are too mean to be pets are now patrolling prison grounds. It is good to hear that dogs that would normally be put down because they are un-adoptable are finding a home in the prison system there.…

The Magneticat – Boris Gets a New Toy
Boris got a new toy the other day and he LOVES it! It is called the MAGNETICAT (get it magnetic cat — LOL). It has a magnet in the toy and magnets in the base so when the toy moves it keeps going for a little while to tease your cat back to it for…

I Want It Wednesday: weRobot T-Shirt
So often my “Want It” posts are for things that are completely out of reach for me, but today’s post is something I will be getting. After viewing Monday’s Big Bang Theory I had to go on a search for the t-shirt that Sheldon was wearing. My search brought me to a cool website (Chop…

I Want It Wednesday: A Pen That Writes Anywhere
Remember the Fisher Space pen and how cool it was to be able to write anywhere even upside down? I found another pen that is just as cool, maybe even cooler. (If that’s possible since the Fisher Space pen did do a licensed Star Trek pen back in the day, I have one in my…

The Marvelous Marvel Ranch
We recently discovered a little restaurant in the middle of town called the Marvel Ranch. It is at 4th and Penn in downtown Reading. We have been driving by this place for twenty odd years and thought it was a closed down dive. Well it isn’t either of those things. The outside does present itself…

Review: Fly Fusion Pentop Computer
LeapFrog FLY Fusion Pentop Computer is more than just a digital pen. It is an educational tool as well. It is made by Leapfrog so we adults that are using it sometimes feel like we are using a kid’s toy more than a productive piece of equipment. I would say that the fly fusion is…
