Ok, Idol fans, how did you like last night? [2008-02-21]
I was blown away by the little Filipino girl (sorry have not learned their names yet) and also the 2 after her, 10 thru 12. They actually saved the best for last I thought. Once again this year feel the girls are better singers, for the most part, than the guys. I do not care for the nurse/rocker girl at all and also on the male side the Peter Frampton look alike guy. The girls rock again this year!!

STOP!!!! BETTER TAKE A CLOSER LOOK [2008-10-22]
This is what I found when researching this:
Just Wondering asked the question; Do the Heat Surge Fireless Flame heaters that the Amish sell really work?
It is being advertised in the local paper (The Herald-Dispatch,Huntingto n , WV ). That it is a Miracle Heater. Saves Money: uses less energy than a coffee maker. Stay really warm and slash your heating bill all at the same time. It uses 1500 watts. It is 5119 btu. My question is. Is this really a Miracle Heater? Should I buy one for every room in my house and turn off the heat pump?

The ads (which are all over the country) are very misleading.
1. A coffee maker uses a large amount of electricity for about a minute. Itmiracle heater uses less electricity than a coffee maker DURING THAT ONE MINUTE. But you're going to have the heater running for a lot longer than one minute a day. So it's going to cost you a lot more to operate than a coffee maker does.
The heater will cost you around 12 cents per hour to operate. The average cost of electricity in the U.S. is 8 cents per 1,000 watts per hour, so 1,500 watts costs 12 cents per hour on average. This is true for ANY 1,500 watt electric heater.
2. The ads say that the heater produces an amazing 5,119 BTU (a measure of heat energy), but ALL 1,500 watt electric heaters produce 5,119 BTU. If an electric heater was 100% efficient, it would convert 1,500 watts of electricity into 5,120 BTU of heat. All electric heaters are nearly 100% efficient, and this has been true for decades. The miracle heater is no more efficient than any other electric heater.
3. The website of the heaterzone heating. See the Saves Money section of the website (www.heatsurge.com).
This is true, but it's also true for ANY electric heater. The problem is that a lot of people don't like to have just one room of their house warm while all the others are cold.
You DON'T want to heat your entire house by putting an electric heater in each room. That would cost you far more than central heat. Gas central heat, for example, would cost around half as much as having an electric heater in each room. (The exact amount varies depending on what part of the country you live in.)
If you want to get one heater and move it around with you, that would be cheaper than central heat, but you can get a lightweight 1,500 watt / 5,119 BTU electric heater with a fan for under $100 at your local hardware store, while the miracle heater costs $350 including shipping. The heater at your local hardware store won't have the Amish-made mantle and the fake flames, but it will work just as well. Make sure to get one with a fan, since it will warm up the room faster, although fans can be noisy.

be careful if you have environmental allergies [2008-10-21]
my son has severe environmental allergies and we were told to never hang out his laundry as pollen can attach itself to the clothing and make his symptoms worse. We are also to run an air conditoner, not use fans and never open the windows to help cut down on allergens. So much for frugality in our home!!! :(
Was beginning to think it was must me [2008-10-21]
We were old-time Folger's fans until recently, and I told my husband to change the type of coffee we were buying. Folger's tasted different, almost a bitter taste. I too used bottled water, and we changed our coffee pot too. It didn't work, so I am glad to know it was not just my taste buds that were off. It also smelled different.
WE DID IT! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! [2008-10-16]
My Dad was born and raised in Philly!!! I have going to games since before I could walk! My parents were both Philly Fans; watching from Heaven this time!
Just a thought....... [2008-08-27]
We lived in an area where tree frogs and lizards were a daily thing, all over the place. Our dog loved it though. They usually plant themselves in areas where there are more abundant insects. Is there a light nearby? That will draw the insects as well. Put in a buglight which will cut down greatly on the bugs attracted and hopefully cut down on the lizards and frogs as well. But the tree frogs hung out all over our sliding patio door regardless. Of course, my husband and I are big fans of both, because once you start seeing them diminish overall, that's a bad statement for their environment, so we were pretty tolerant anyway. I do understand the falling on your head though. Just shake your door good before going outside! Good luck!
My husband recycles (scraps). sm [2008-05-22]
My husband recycles/scraps and makes good money at it. If you have a scrap yard near by, your kids may want to check it out. You have to be 18 to get into the yards so you would have to go with them. This is more than picking up bottles along the road. He picks up things like TVs, vacuum cleaners, anything with a motor in it...ceiling fans, etc. You name it he has scrapped it. You have to break everything down into different components...copper with insulation, clean copper, cast iron, cast steel, aluminum etc. You have to take the freon out of A/C units and refrigerators. Scrap copper is $3 a pound here in Michigan.
I don't know where you live or what your kids have in mind, but it is a dirty job. I always tell my husband, where else can you get dirty and get paid for it. And my favorite part of his scrapping is watching the guy who runs the crane with the big magnet on it. I want that job when I grow up. LOL.
Good luck to your kids.
Good Comeback for Smokers (from a nonsmoker)! [2008-04-04]
from Fox News Channel dailygut.com or see below.
He's funny! I never miss the show!
friday's gregalogue: smoking bans and death
So I was reading the Economist - ha, just kidding - I am barely literate. Actually someone read it to me, and told me how American smoking bans have led to the deaths of many innocent people. By preventing people from smoking comfortably in bars, more folks die in fatal accidents involving booze.
How so? Well, researchers think smokers are driving farther to places where smoking is allowed - like places with outdoor seating, or my intricate system of tunnels near the overpass. And all that somehow leads to more drunk driving, and death. To which I add: Phooey!
I read of a far more intriguing theory: that smoking bans make restaurants more attractive to nonsmoking shut-ins, smarmy geeks who can't handle their booze, much less conversation. Finally, they take off their drawstring sweatpants, shave their pimply backs -and hit the town, where they get drunk and kill people. See - it's the callous and unthinking nonsmokers who are to blame - those stupid, fat nonsmoking jerks.
Look, I've always hated the smoking ban. I think the health threats from passive smoking are fabricated - and books have been written on the faulty data behind the research. Plus, smoking on the street blows - as a worldwide celebrity it's hard to puff when you're constantly kissed and hugged by adoring fans.
It's all just a scam to legislate behavior that people don't like, and has nothing to do with science. Fact is, if you let smokers smoke -only smokers die. That's it. Everyone else is fine. Which is a shame, because I'd really like to take a few vegetarians with me.
And if you disagree with me, then you sir are worse than Hitler.
Patrick Swayze has terminal cancer [2008-03-05]
http://www.ogpaper.com/news/news-01750.html
Patrick Swayze Cancer Diagnose: 5 weeks to liveSad news reports coming from Hollywood today, actor Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. According to a report first published by the National Enquirer, Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze has only 5 weeks to live, after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer back in January and the cancer had spread to other organs of his body. According to an insider, there is little hope left for Patrick Swayze, after the cancer failed to respond to the treatments. Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor within the pancreatic gland and each year over 30,000 individuals in the United States are diagnosed with this condition. The prognosis is generally regarded as poor, with only few still alive five years after diagnosis, while complete remission still extremely rare.
For the past month, Patrick, 55, has been traveling to Stanford University was published in the gossip magazine. The story has not been confirmed by Patrick Swayze or his representatives and fans of the actor could only hope that the cancer story is one of the false stories, which often find their way to ink.
I think it was a pun [2008-02-20]
and not to be taken literally about his last name spelling. It has to do with the totality of the man and where he is coming from. I question why everyone keeps talking about religion of the candidate. His religion does not bother me. It is the political leanings that his congregation seem to hold that worry me. I think that all the BO fans should carefully examine exactly what he has to offer and who he really is and decide if anything about him that is concrete and of value to us as a country. So far, I see nothing and am holding BO in contempt for not showing up to his current job and voting for his constituents who elected him. What if he represents us in a similar fashion if he becomes POTUS? I just think he is so busy being an icon and popular that he is shunning his duty. I don't hold that lightly. I also see where Hillary did not show up to vote either. We need a better way to run elections as it seems that candidates always shirk their duties when one is going on and there ought to be a law against it. I don't know if JM voted or not, but would not be surprised if he didn't. Why do we pay senators and representatives who don't do their jobs? Even more to the point, why did we elect them in the first place?

At least they were more discreet about it. [2008-02-11]
She's even obviously high in her videos, can't even lip sync it right. And I'm sure not many of the ones you named above have shot up heroin, smoked crack, and took ketamine (horse tranquilizers) and ectasy all at once! and then in that state gone on stage completely wasted, get booed and then make nasty comments to the fans. I have nothing against a little partying and we all know many musicians have done drugs, of course, hasn't everyone? BUT do not compare especially the Beatles to this strung out hard-core druggie piece of trash. Get real, lady!
Before this turns into a full blown....sm [2008-02-05]
back and forth free for all, you also don't know me personally to make assumptions about my personality. This has gotten old quickly, so I'll leave with these thoughts.
You expressed an opinion saying you were ill about her treatment which you thought was above and beyond.
I expressed an opinion, in turn, basically saying if you were in her situation you would want that same protection, considering it's very plausible that it's the obsessive fans and need to know that probably put her in this situation.
Opinions are opinions, facts are facts, and considering all the information any of us knows come from cutthroat reporters who are looking to make that big story, it would be rare if anyone knew any true story about a celeb.
I know if I were famous and hounded by people 24/7, and having a mental breakdown to boot, you can bet your bippy I'd do whatever in my power to make sure I had nobody around who could violate my privacy any more than it had already been violated.
As for the doctors getting suspended, if they weren't on her case, and it's not a teaching hospital, and if she has security, then it's for a reason, and they should have known better than to violate her privacy. Doctors can violate HIPAA just as easily as anyone else, and that's what they were doing, because it's also very possible that those same docs who just wanted a quick peek, probably couldn't keep it to themselves, or they wouldn't have been nosing in her business in the first place. They got less than they deserved.
Walk a mile in her shoes. Have sympathy and compassion in your heart for those who need it, which she obviously does!
Lucky, you! I am sorry I got the spelling of this gorgeous breed SM [2008-02-04]

Could be Benny Parsons, though...sm [2007-12-11]
I'm not sure who he drove for, who his sponsor was, or what his number was as we've only been NASCAR fans since 2000 or so.
If it is Benny Parsons, hold onto it because he was a Winston Cup champion in the 1970s and has been a NASCAR announcer since we started watching several years ago. Unfortunately, he just passed away in the last year or so after battling cancer. His son is announcing for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck series now.
So if it is Benny's and it has his number and/or sponsor, etc., it's probably worth more than you paid for it.
me too [2007-12-04]
My desk is set up to watch the birds from my office/sewing room window. In Illinois, we have tons of different species. One of my favorites is a bluebird, only because we don't get that many here. We have a lot of blue buntings that are a very vivid blue - I like those too. Lots of Cardinals - we are St. Louis fans here! Lots of woodpeckers, different varieties. Squirrels, which I have grown to despise - too many, eat everything, damage houses, etc. Chipmunks which are cute, but ate through the screens in our windows in crawl space - nasty little things!

??? Hist latest book [2007-11-12]
All you James Patterson fans out there, if youYou please tell me your take on it. He is one of my favorite authors, but this book left me hanging. It keeps hyping and building the reader up; you think, So many weird things happen throughout the book that are never explained, and the ending, well that was just plain weird.
But now they may make less on the final movie (sm) [2007-10-23]
I personally may not go see it just in protest of the way she went about all of this. It was strongly marketed to children and I see no reason that Dumbledore, a fictional character who was given no sexual orientation throughout the books, now needs to be deemed as gay. Who cares one way or the other? He I suppose it is because she wants her books and movies to become a cultish type thing that will continue to produce money for her for years to come as people pore over her books trying to find clues that evidence Dumbledore It strongly discredits her in my opinion and I am sure in the minds of many other parents of her child fans.
