A thought occurred to me yesterday as I was at the car wash. Never before has a vehicle in our household recieved such loving attention. My van could go months without being washed. The kids could care less if they scuffed their shoes on the seats, or got crumbs on the floor. But not now...

So, while hubby and were away in Newfoundland, thanks to the convenience of the company rental car, we were able to head out to Ferryland for a lighthouse picnic. While weather didn't really cooperate, the food they serve at the lighthouse was still fantastic. We had smoked salmon, shrimp, and...

.... quiet, peaceful, serene. That is, until Bert Raccoon wakes up. lol... my kids are watching 'The Raccoons', talk about a childhood flashback! I love that they totally love so many of the shows I grew up with.

I once again installed 'Calorie Count' on my computer yesterday. A handy toolbar from about.com, it enables you to put a visual toolbar in your internet browser which shows your caloric intake for the day. I carefully tracked and tallied my calorie intake yesterday and oh so proudly finished...

Just saw an ad that said, explicitly... BP takes full responsibility for beach cleanup. According to this channel, as soon as a dirty beach is found, they will mobilize a team, and clean that beach. I wanted to post this thread so that we have some reference back in the future... did they...

Three dead after explosion rocks north Edmonton neighbourhood This explosion has rocked dozens of families, and even friends of mine were in the shockwave that resulted from it. One home is completely destroyed, nothing left of it but a hole in the ground apparently, and neighbouring homes...

I regularly do my family's produce shopping at a large clearance centre called H&W. produce there is significantly less money for the same quality I find in most local stores. As well as purchasing the usual grocery list, I try to add new and previously untried foods to our diet as they strike...

Does anyone here use an open source word processor? I find Microsoft 7's decision to sell their Office suite separately maddening, and frankly, to be an ignorant cash grab. I have no inclination to run trials of their word processor and deal with switching over. Open source seems like a...

I am currently half way through reading the book Bonk, by Mary Roach. Most easily described as a book of scientific history, she covers some interesting areas of research in the fields of both physiology and psychology, from the 1900's onward. Her approach is wonderfully humorous and manages...

I really truly enjoyed this one. I hope you will take the time to watch and enjoy it as well. YouTube - RSA Animate - The Empathic Civilisation

Okay, so, not long after getting our Telus TV, we realized that US stations would have their programming bumped by Canadian stations if they were carrying the same show. Handy right? You see the show at the time you want, Canadian advertisers still support Canadian channels, win win. But...

I went to resurrect an old thread that talked about my home made cleaner, because I wanted to post a video I found. Alas, the thread has been closed due to its advanced age... lol... so I will simply repost what I opened that thread with. Since coming down with fibromyalgia, I've become very...

So... we have a do not call registry, and the US has a do not call registry, but, I have a new issue... How on earth do I block American telelmarketers from calling my number!? And surely, if they're doing it to us, we're doing it to them, right? We must have robots from Ontario calling and...

I know, it's a bit redundant, we've talked before on here about prescription drugs, and the pharma biz, but I just wanted to share this little blurb from a pharmaceutical's website, since it caught my attention when it played on the tv just now.... "How does PRISTIQ work? As an SNRI...

I haven't seen this posted here yet... and yes, it's been overplayed, and around for a while... but my kids were looking for the lyrics and it hit me how few popular songs out there they are able to sing along with these days. It warms my heart to hear them belt this one out (even if they can't...

Okay, I've been having computer issues for a long time, with recurring freezing of my computer. It's now become immensely clear that it occurs anytime I watch any kind of video. I've uninstalled and reinstalled my web browser, as well as all the flash players, etc that I can think of, and...

YukonJack's thread regarding what our greatest gift over all the other animals is made me think to start this one. I've heard people point out the short comings of the human animal before, versus the design of other animals. So, what animal trait did we get shorted on in your opinion? I'll...
