The other day I was tagged on Facebook with the challenge of listing 100 songs that had a profound impact on me at some point in time of my life. Some of those I’ve already shared here as a part of the musical flashback moments. I’ve decided to start sharing the rest. [...]

Really interesting article at Nature but I really recommend taking the 6 minutes to watch the video. What is felt to be a scientific possibility is that some forms of ancient fish mated in a similar manner as sharks do, creating a scenario where there was not just penetrative sex, but that the mother [...]

Those of you who know me, know that I’m very fond of my red boots, no ordinary red boots, these are suede and in a hippy type style with fake lacing that go just below my knee. I have an exact pair in brown, but my red ones are my favorite and I’ve had [...]

Long ago when my father was alive and he worked in the corporate world, he used to get gifts from his employer that would be a fruit of the month club gift. I always thought that was neat and we looked forward to the different varieties of fruit that would arrive each month. [...]

I’ve never personally driven a car in New York, though I once had a near death experience in a cab while being driven in New York…One way that Mayor Bloomberg is trying to address the issue of traffic there is to close streets like Broadway or at least a portion of Broadway.
When it [...]

The headline caught my attention, Beyond the jumpsuit: the future of space fashion however…when I went to the actual page and started looking? The models were creepy and the outfits were, well the outfits were pretty horrid. Sad to say but the first one? Minus the scary looking model and her hairdo, [...]

Our house is of an older design so that the staircase does not allow anything larger than a full box spring to be taken upstairs, which when you have queen size bed can be a problem. Thankfully now that the availability of a platform bed base exists rather than traditional metal bed frames we [...]

I sought out to find or attempt to find the origin of the word sale which ended up giving me things on sale, as well as a whole host of definitions for terms related to sales, but I could not locate where the origin of the word “sale” might be online. I found pieces talking [...]

For those of you into sky gazing, if we were to have a clear sky here, which of course as bad luck would have it, we don’t, but if we did, we would be able to see the Comet Lulin. Thanks to the internet, while we can’t see the comet here, we can see [...]

The headline of this article lured me in, and made me more curious so I started searching for more information. I headed over to NASA which had nothing new on the topic of quark stars, then I headed over to Harvard since the photo credit was from them on the New Scientist website. [...]

In our situation it’s a non issue, a) because we rent and b) because we are not in a location that would be conducive to having a cell tower installed, however, there appear to be quite a few people who are interested in having one of these cell towers on their property. There also [...]

One of my daughters had decided that camping out in my living room was a more preferable option than sharing a room with her sister or using the semi-finished basement (known formerly as the “Man Cave”) as her “spot” which created a scenario where I’ve basically lost my living room. So while for some [...]

I headed over to do one of my “music flashback moments” and I noticed that the below video was one of the most watched videos, it is over 891,031 watches and appears to have just been added on February 5th. So, adding to what is becoming the viral video aspect of the “Mystery Guitar [...]

Some time ago the electricity in our bathroom quit working, it’s probably related to the fact that the fuse box for the house while being up to code, needs to be repaired since that room totally lost power after the electric company came out to change our meter because only one half of the house [...]

I’m surprised with the way so much was blamed on Governor Palin that no one has yet blamed her for the predicted eruption of Mount Redoubt. Most people are probably not aware of the number of volcanoes in that area, it’s really kind of interesting to read about as well as to view the pictures [...]

I love New Orleans style cooking, and Gumbo is one of my favorites but at times getting crab or shrimp can be a bit pricey, so, I have my own economic version of the dish that is excellent and really easy to make.
Last week as an example, Kroger had a nice piece of Talipia and [...]
