Yesterday, I experienced the most horrible 15 minutes of my life. I hope never to experience it again, ever! It was pretty much a lazy day at home for us. The night before was my oldest daughter's Prom (I'll talk about that another time and I've got some pics!), my hubby wasn't feeling well, hasn't for a couple of days and the stubborn man refuses to go to the doctor, so we were basically home thawing out, doing nothing but lazying around, in bed, around the computer, taking turns, and graz...

Some months ago, I wrote about "A Paperless Society" [I'm about to tell you to go see my article list...I know, it's annoying when you have to do all the work!] but, in that article, I wrote about our society, our world going paperless, at least, we were supposed to have by now but haven't - at least not completely! I've seen other articles written on the subject online and in other Journals. It's still a debatable topic of interest. Recently I had a discussion with some friends about...

I found a good list that I consider doable when it comes to doing small things to help with " Going Green ". Jilluser did an article about it, see the main page of JU, it's been featured, and I also did an article on it a couple of month's ago, and if I'm not mistaken, so did Gideon. [Sorry, please, go search if you're interested in reading each viewpoint, didn't copy to link before I began writig this!] I think it's pretty much a reality that we have to do something to make our world be...

Did you know that when your child goes off to college, your right to know about what is going on with him, mentally and healthwise, ends? If he gets sick, you won't know about it, until it's too late or he or she is dead. If he has mental health issues, issues he or she has never had before, you won't be told about it? That's right, you won't know about it unless your child decides or chooses to tell you. Do you want to know why? Because of the 'Privacy Policies" in place at all Un...

I agree with Gene’s article Link the murderer who did what he did, was an insane psychopath, and should not be made into a hero! I don’t want to see his pictures anymore. I don’t want to watch the videos, in fact, I haven’t watched it, I keep switching whenever it’s coming on. I don’t want my children to see it, although they are aware of what happened and I have no explanation to give them as to why someone would do something like what he did, other than to say he was an angry pers...

You have probably heard about this big “The Secret” , a book that was written by Rhonda Byrne and the rules (I’m not sure if they are call rules) that are being used and adapted by her and a group of people who are teaching others to use them? "The Secret" is about how to use positive thinking to reinforce what you want in life. To use positive thinking to get what you want out of your life. This way of thinking I have known about for a while now, and I’m sure you have too. Aft...

I'm very frustrated right now. It's been more than a week of ultra frustration JU! Do I have to write you another Dear John Letter? It doesn't matter where I am blogging from, work, home or the library, you just act up and totally shut me out! It's getting quite annoying! I cannot go else where to complain, yeah, trying to find other posts is impossible sometimes, although there's one for Site problems! It slows me down, I can't respond, barely, posting is neer impossible....heaven kn...

I heard the news about the murders that happened at the university in Virginia today and I'm so shocked and sadden by yet another person taking their anger out on other people. I can't imagine what the parents of those who have been murdered are feeling right now. It's something that I would never wish to experience. I don't know the full story of why it happened or who did it because the police is keeping this information under wraps at the moment. However, it makes me wonder what ...

I'm such a shopper! I like to pride myself on being a bargain hunter, but alas that doesn't always happen. I walk into the drug store to get milk and decided to get some makeup because my supplies have dwindled somewhat from use and things getting old! There's a lot of buy one get one half priced sale going on at our local Walgreens. Do you think I would try to find something from those items on sale? Noooooo! I go to the ones that I like and know that works. Although I do li...

I have been trying to log on to the Trivia Challenge game that we JUsers play and haven't been able to. I can't even log in through one of Rose's privious blogs. Anyone else having this problem today? I even copied the link from Google and put it into my address bar and it won't open up. It says DNS entry not found? my.funtrivia.com/tournament/The-JoeUser-Daily-Trivia-Challenge-52357.html

I've been walking as often as I can trying to get back on a routine of regular exercise. I've been doing two 15 minute stints at work on hilly and flat terrain. It helps believe me! Just to take the little breaks and get up off my bum!lol! I usually walk with of my co-workers who are good friends of mine. At home I've been working out on my Performa machine. It really works the hips, thighs and legs and I can see the difference! It's been tough because there are times when I really am...

It's four minutes after midnight and I'm bored and I'm a bit tired becasue it's been a stress filled day. At least for the most part it was a good day, quite busy and then it turned into a very hectic evening with errands and family to dos! And to top it all the darn pizza place got my order mixed up and I didn't find out until after I returned home with the darn things! Yep, I trudged back out there to have it corrected! Ouch! My summer school plans for my little one fell through...

There's a new type of treatment for people with skin problems. It’s called PDT, photo dynamic therapy, aka Laser light treatment, will be used to help people with skin problems caused from Eczema, acne even cancer. The American Academy of Dermatology said PDT can help to improve scarring and skin texture caused by acne because it will shrink the oil glands and for those with skin cancer, there is a lightweight bandage that has its own light source and will be less expensive to use and...
