  • Folks at Hellmanns Not Too Bright

    Now I am not saying the folks at Hellmann’s are idiots, but then again maybe I am. As I said in my last mayo post that I have been searching for a VERY long time for a soy free mayonnaise and I thought I found it in the Hellmann’s brand Canola mayonnaise especially since their…

  • Is There a Soy Free Mayo? No Way-O.

    I cannot tell you how hard it is to live a soy free life. Even when your life depends on it. Two years ago I discovered I was allergic to soy when my Dad gave me a glass of Silk Chocolate soy milk. I really liked the taste, but by the end of the glass…

  • First Day Out After No Smoking Goes Into Effect

    We went out to eat for the first time since the new PA ban on smoking went into effect. I have to say it was great walking through the front of the California Bar and Grill without having to deal with all those smokers in the restaurant. It really did make our eating experience so…

  • Yeah PA Adopts a No Smoking Law (sort of)

    PA No Smoking Law went into effect yesterday. Of course this has pissed off a slew of smokers, but as a non-smoker and someone who is actually allergic to smoke I am very happy to see this law finally come to Pennsylvania. Smoking really is a filthy, dirty habit and your lungs will thank the…

  • Get Off Your Butt And Fight Alzheimers

    The Alzheimer’s Alzheimer’s Memory Walk is coming up soon. It is a 2 to 3 mile walk for people of all ages to fight against this horrible disease. This is a cause, which has unfortunately touched the lives of my family. My grandmother, my dad’s mom, was diagnosed several years ago. Alzheimer’s not only takes…

  • My Head Is Going To Explode

    My head is killing me. I have had a headache for the last three weeks. But today actually feels more like a migraine than a normal old headache. I bought a new pillow today to see if that is some of the problem. The pain starts at the base of my skull and wraps around…

  • Traumatized By Accident Today

    This morning I witnessed an accident. Heck I was almost in the accident. This guy was flying up beside me on the left (I was in the middle lane) and the traffic was heavy up ahead due to road construction. Well he wasn’t going to wait. He zipped around behind me to make a right…

  • Boy Did I Call That One

    As I said on the fourth I spent not only the day in bed but just about the entire weekend. If it weren’t for my friend pulling me out of thehouse on Saturday I would have spent the entire weekend in bed. Saturday we went to the Tiki Bar with my friend and her husband. We…

  • Sick Holiday

    Well July 4th is here and while it is very nice to have a long weekend it isn’t doing me any good. I am both physically sick and emotionally drained. I won’t be doing the picnic with the family (might not be so bad since it looks like rain any way).  I probably would feel…

  • The Scream Continues…

    Today sucked. This week sucked. I suck. My week started out horribly. It never had anything even close to a good point at any point. Then it ended just a horribly. To be honest I have to wonder why I am still here on this planet. Not feeling well I went in to drink some…

  • All I Can Say Is

    AAAAARRRRRGGGGG!!!  Today has been one hell of a week.

  • Allergic Reaction to Perfume

    Every day it seems that my allergies get worse. The other day I had a pretty bad allergic reaction to a co-workers perfume. I have always been overly sensitive to strong smells especially if my sinuses are infected or if my seasonal allergies are in full bloom (so to speak). But this was more than…
