Did any of you see the Golden Globe announcements last night? I tried to watch it, I really did but was too disgusted and distracted to stay with any of the programs! Channel 4, NBC and Channel 65, E! both broadcasted the winners via their entertainment hosts. That just didn't fly with me at all! I found it difficult to enjoy the reading of the announcements without all the fanfare of the actors/actresses going on stage, making their speeches, possibly flubbing their speeches and doi...

Rachel Zupek of Careerbuilder.com wrote an article entitled "13 Things not to Share with your Co-Workers" . After reading it I must say she makes some very good points. I also realise how much of what she says does go on in and around offices I've worked in over the years. Let's face it, for many of us wherever we work, you're there for a big chunk of your life. Do you realise that we spend most of our time with our co-workers? That's 40-60 or more hours per week, five tim...

I saw Tova's blog asking about Bakerstreet Link , it's been a while since I've seen a few people around JU too. In fact, I was a bit busy the last couple of days and just barely managed to peek in to see what was going on! We all know how much our lives beyond the keyboard gets busy for us, and we don't blog as often as we want to. Heck, I thought I would have been on a lot more often this year, since posting my last couple of articles but that has not been the case. Then there are...

I wanted to tell those of you who took the time to send a Christmas card to me and family, THANK YOU! It was a lot of fun opening the mailbox everyday, and seeing one or more cards at different times! My kids got a kick out of it and I explained to them who each of you were and they can't believe that I have friends from the Internet, even now!lol! My hubby has even gotten OK with that fact too! Your cards became a part of my Christmas decor, that I'm about to pull apart and take...

Now Ms. Britney, you do not know me, nor do you even care who I am or even will not read this blog, but I've got a few things to say to you young lady! I called you by your full name because that's what moms do when their children are out of control and they want to get their full attention! It says, "oh oh, mom means business if she's calling all three names"! And since your mom won't do it, then I will! So Britney Jean Spears....why am I hearing about you being under the influence a...

I've never actually thought about doing it. It was done recently at work, it was a business thing, one department decided to create it for many of the students who were not going to be around anymore, and they actually buried it in a sealed container that everyone can see (a kind of monument no doubt), but not open until ten or so years later. I thought that was a great idea to make one! The only other place I"ve heard about a time capsule is on television or in the movies, and putting...

How do you shake someone’s hand? Are you a limp wet fish? Do you do one of those fancy palm slides and coded finger shakes or do you give a nice firm handshake? I hope for you it is the latter, unless it’s your bud or a nephew or niece of course! Personally, I give a firm handshake because I hate the limp wet fishes! I like to eat my fish, not give or even receive it in a handshake! In my job I’m at the front desk. I’m the first person you see when you walk into my department, I ...

I like reading about other moms and how they cope with their families and how they do things. To me it’s always interesting to see how other people live and how they handle the situation that comes at them from time to time! What I don’t like however, are those moms who are so full of themselves they can’t understand or believe that another person have a hard time doing some things and struggle with being a mom. Everyone is not perfect. Some people handle things differently. The thing...

I don’t know if many of you realize it but in Florida we have Winter weather too. When it is good, it’s really nice. There’s a nice coolness to the temperature that is actually quite refreshing after experiencing many days of 98 degrees are higher! In fact, quite a few Floridians, especially the transplanted ones from up North, usually don’t mind the chill we experience during the months of November and February! Everyone, especially the stylish people, will step out in their tal...

The big 2008 is almost here and I'm signing off for the night. Until I 'see' you all in the new year JU, moderators, and all....may you bring this baby home safely and with the ones you love!

We noticed how really bright the Moon was earlier tonight, (last night). It was so bright we could see pretty clearly with our naked eyes (no telescope, though I wish we had one!) what appeared to be Mars! My son told me it is going to be even brighter tomorrow night (tonight). I did a search on the Internet and found the following link which gave great details! Tomorrow day and night will be extra special! At 6am and 6pm! Check out the link! Link

There was a time when we used to eat, sleep, play and enjoyed anything we wanted without worry about what it was made of, would it make us fat, damage the environment in anyway or even did an animal died for us to have it! Truthfully speaking, even before all the animal rights business came about, I hated the thought of any animals being hurt in order for us to have the latest makeup or use of any medicines. (Although there are animals that are bred for this purpose, and scientists have foun...

Hving had one or more people up in arms since I last posted (correctly too!) under Gaming, in Cosole Games....this is a question regarding the Wii, if you're too hard core and magnificent for this, move on! So I broke out the Wii, long story short, I made a promise to my son and I kept it by letting us use it before Christmas. Let me tell you, it's one heck of a console system! I understand now why it's so popular and why so many ahem "casual" ahem, people love this thing! ...

Yesterday my son made a discovery that I'm still amazed about! He showed me a nest of some sort that was on the inside of the door jamb of my car on the passenger side! I took a closer look and it looked really weird! It was a cocoon-nest type thing and I immediately got on the phone for my husband to meet us as soon as we parked at home, with the flashlight! [we were coming from my son's annual physical] In the car I was speculating, with my son that maybe it was an alien species th...
