Shades are more “pet friendly”

Posted by LisaRenee  Published in Home & Hearth

I’ve always been more of a fan of binds or shades as opposed to curtains, in part because of our pets. Cats like to sit in the window, the dogs like to try to look out the window which creates the need to clean, which it’s much easier to wipe down a set of [...]

Birds also gave us one type of the common cold?

Posted by LisaRenee  Published in Environment/Science, Medical/Health

There’s been a great deal of focus on the “bird flu” but some scientists are suggesting that other viruses have come from birds. Which virus will birds give us next? takes a look at this issue:
In 2001 Ron Fouchier and colleagues at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, discovered human metapneumovirus, one [...]

For only a dollar…

Posted by LisaRenee  Published in Home & Hearth, Shopping/Entertainment

I’m a fan of shopping at several of our local dollar stores, a few are ones where everything costs a dollar, which was the original thought behind the dollar store franchise. Some have items that cost more than a dollar but still use the marketing concept that the dollar store is designed on, closeout [...]

If you didn’t eat in moderation…

Posted by LisaRenee  Published in Medical/Health

Personally for me it’s easy to not overeat during the holidays because I’m the one who does the bulk of the cooking and by the time I’m finally finished preparing all of the “goodies” they don’t look so tempting. There’s also the added benefit that I’ve had a small taste here and a small [...]

We got off lightly in the cosmic lottery

Posted by LisaRenee  Published in Environment/Science

Recommended article that suggests perhaps one of the reasons our planet has become what it has as far as life forms and the length of our existence is related to our not being hit by comets as much as other planets have faced. This makes sense, especially when you consider what happened to our [...]

Thousands of different kinds of trophies…

Posted by LisaRenee  Published in Blogging

A few weeks ago we were joking around when planning a homeless awareness project as to some kind of a reward to give high school students who had raised a huge amount of clothing, what would be an appropriate trophy, envisioning that it could be something that several of the schools in the area battled [...]

Cute website title, “Retail Gigs”

Posted by LisaRenee  Published in Business/Finance, Computers/Technology

There are a variety of online job listing services out there, but this one caught my eye because of the creative title that they’ve chosen to show that their focus is on retail jobs, they are called “Retail Gigs”. If you know what type of a job you are looking for, using one of [...]

Dial up and YouTube don’t mix…

Posted by LisaRenee  Published in Computers/Technology

My dsl modem died last Monday and the replacement has not yet arrived which has created the delay in posting on this blog, especially when it comes to sharing those “Music Flashback” moments. It’s almost impossible to access YouTube on dial up. Unless you have hours to wait for the first time to [...]

Still in memory mode…

Posted by LisaRenee  Published in I ponder

I remember when I could not wait to live this area, I imagined that something would happen that would make me famous, and I used to dream about living where things were much more exciting, alternating between dreams of the West Coast and the East Cost, picturing my mothers reaction to a group ofmovers New [...]

Memories…killing me softly…

Posted by LisaRenee  Published in Music flashbacks

Every time I hear this song, the original version by Roberta Flack, “Killing me Softly” I think back to my very first dance at the Y when I was in middle school. My very first dance with a boy was to this song. Which is the inspiration for this flashback music moment…

Thousands of diet pills…

Posted by LisaRenee  Published in Medical/Health

I’d probably be a poor candidate for diet pills, I have a pill reminder thing that is supposed to keep me on track for all of the pills I”m supposed to take daily, and I have a hard enough time remembering to actually put the pills in it. Earlier this week I was starting [...]

Losing my religion…that was just dream…

Posted by LisaRenee  Published in Music flashbacks

It’s been a long week with elections and the homeless project Tent City that I’m involved in. Maybe because I’m tired or stressed, but for some reason this song, “Losing my Religion” by R.E.M. has been stuck in my head all morning…Hence? Our flash back music moment of the day.
