For some people, winter months are really tough – dry winter air causes lots of problems with colds, bronchitis, and the like. I’ve never tried it, but I’ve heard installing a basement dehumidifier can help. Apparently adding moisture to the air makes it easier to breathe. Seems odd to me, since high humidity has always [...]

Technology amazes me. I often “window shop” laptops and netbooks, and it blows my mind what you can get for a couple hundred dollars. Tiny little computing powerhouses. And they are cute too! Another very important consideration. Maybe I should figure out how to effectively use my iPod first though. Or my cell phone, for [...]

My brain never quits. Random thoughts in the middle of the night jolt me fully awake, and I’m suddenly surfing the Internet looking for life insurance quotes. It’s frustrating; kind of hard to get enough rest when all I can think of is ways to make sure my kids are taken care of if something [...]

My son drives me crazy. Several weeks ago, I purchased a box cutter to deal with the seeming billions of boxes we’ve accumulated during our move. Think he uses it? Of course not – doesn’t even know where it is!! I caught him using one of my new kitchen knives the other day, like it [...]

I’ve noticed lately that a lot of my household bills have been increasing. It’s annoying, because like most people, I certainly am not making more money! I suppose it’s time to start shopping around for a good auto insurance quote, since this is one of the only bills I have where I can actually exercise [...]

Recently I’ve noticed a couple of things that are disturbing. Laugh if you will, but it freaks me out to see tumbleweeds of my own hair floating across the house. Gross, right? As usual, I headed straight to the computer to do a little bit of research. It seems I may need to supplement my [...]

I know it’s weird, but I think it’s kind of cute to see “teen idols” doing commercials for acne products. I remember the Dove commercials when I was a teenager, but that’s about it. Seems like every time I turn around, there’s a familiar face talking about a particular acne face wash. I probably pay [...]
