I've been looking at pictures and reading articles about teachers who are protesting their salary and the right to have their jobs in Iran and India and what their government does to them. They are beaten, they are locked up in detention centers and they are forced to sign documents stating that they will not participate in any protests. Link This is a picture on MSNBC showing a teacher about to be beaten by two police officers. Link Yes, we are lucky that we live in ...

OK folks, now you've heard it all, a bottled water named Bling H20 sells for $50 - $90 ! Oh yeah, the reason for the pricey tag are the Swarovski crystals embedded in the bottle, used to spell its name. The source of the water is from a Tennessee spring. It has been "purified in a nine-step process that includes ultraviolet treatment, micro-filtration, and ozone" oh joy!. Guess who developed it......give up?.....Kevin Boyd, a Hollywood writer and producer! I guess we should ha...

I read an online article, "Watch Your Filthy Mouth" on MSN Health & Fitness today. I thought it was an interesting article and wanted to share because it's something that not everyone thinks about, linking the condition of your mouth, teeth, gums to your health. My mom as always told me that and I've even repeated the same thing to my kids - don’t' we all do that?lol - and it's something of concern to me given my five year old's dental operation a couple of years ago...seems like yesterda...

Where's the category for Vacation? I couldn't put this under Travel, because I didn't really travel, not technically anyway. And I didn't want to put this under Sports & Leisure because it was more about day trips..... Some of you might know that one of my BFF (aren't you tired of that term but it says a lot!), visited with me for five days and man was it fun! We haven't seen each other since I left NY but we are always on the phone chatting at least two or three times a week when we are...

Apparently if you call too often, to check on billing errors, or anything that you feel is important to you, your cellphone carrier can think you are a nuisance and end your contract! That's what Sprint did to one of their customers. While the calls she was making to them, was to fix the errors they made on her account, they were monitoring and making a note of how many times she called them. They lose money when they are on the phone with you, their customer and helping you is not a pro...

Here's another incident that makes you wonder what the dick is wrong with people these days. A couple let their children starve because of their addiction to computer games, particularly Dungeon and Dragons. It's not that they didn't have food at their home, they just didn't bother to take the time to feed their children. The children were not only malnourished, their muscular development was nil because they didn't do anything physical with them. These are babies, 22months old and 11 mon...

I don't know if she was in her right mind or what. Or why she would want to bring unknown attention to herself, but who knows if this was her way to be famous! Then again, you don't really choose who you fall in love with, it just happens, right.....or does it? Link

I have some water-potted and dirt-potted plants growing inside my home. They weren't doing so well because I wasn't paying too much attention to them, isn't that how it always is with everything in life?! Now they are blooming beautifully and abundantly! I will have to transplant the water grown ones soon. I also have some in my office, and those are gorgeous. I have a picture of the largest one at my home. They are on a table beside a window and do not get too mcuh sunlight. ...

It can be an art form depending on what you find! I mentioned in a past blog that my hubby likes to find things, repair them give them away or keep them for our use. I think he definately can open a store! Recently, a lazy Saturday morning, he came in all excited because of his latest find but we had to HURRY! I grabbed some clothes and rushed outside, his excitement was so catching! Lo and behold, a sofa set with lots of pillows! It was in pretty good shape and since I wanted to get...
