So You Wanna Be A Writer
This is a question I have asked myself on a thousand different occasions. Am I good enough? Am I dedicated enough? Am I strong enough? … It is a dream I have had since I was a child; a dream that I have finally decided to follow. My familiarity with the Internet has given me [...]
What Makes a Successful Blog?
The title of this post might be somewhat deceiving … this is not a post about how to create a successful blog, but rather asks the question in general. I have done quite a bit of reading on this topic, and believe me when I say that the answer is not one that can be [...]
We Are ‘Framily’…
A couple of days ago, I heard the term ‘framily’ for the first time. It was easy to figure out that it was a by-product of the words ‘family’ and ‘friends’ but my curiosity grew about this new trend. We have always called our closest friends family, even to the extent of telling them that [...]
How I Renovated My Home Office For Less Than $50
This past weekend, my husband and I renovated my home office. Okay, maybe not “renovated” in the truest sense – I mean, we wouldn’t need Mike Holmes here to help out or anything, but it is a new space for me to work.
Those Annoying Little Verification Words
I know that there are a ton of spammers out there that have this nasty little habit of emailing about a billion people a day — I know this because I am one of them — but I don’t hate spammers for that reason. My acrimony stems from those who caused the creation of verification [...]
What’s Next? Scientific Equations For Verification?
After the day I had yesterday with entering in all the verification words on websites to prove my humanness, I decided to actually track the number of times I had to go through the process today. You see, I am constantly on the Internet, constantly entering information into forms, and constantly submitting my personal details [...]
My Cable Company Broke My Heart!
As I write this, I am patiently awaiting the arrival of the service technician from my Internet provider. I call them my Internet provider, but they are also my cable, cell phone, home phone, and long distance provider. I use the term “provider” lightly because as of late, they have not been providing much of [...]
Sweet Reconciliation
Okay, so maybe I was a little harsh on my Internet provider. Okay, a LOT harsh. I’d like to take this opportunity to publicly apologize to my provider, and do so with egg on my face. We are not headed for divorce; we are not even close to another separation.
The Healing Power Of A Little Wort
Yesterday was a very stressful day for me. I don’t thrive on stress, I abhor it. My efforts to keep stress levels in my life to a minimum are ongoing, but sometimes it gets the better of me. Now, I am not one to turn to medications or other forms of relief when I am [...]
Are We Chemically Vanquishing The Human Race?
A few days ago, I watched a CBC documentary, entitled “The Disappearing Male” which discusses the idea that the male reproductive system is being severely damaged by our chemically abundant society. I was deeply disturbed by some of the findings and scientific evidence given that might actually prove that we are, in fact, on our [...]
