New Nopalea

I am at day number 20 of a 21 day corporate Daniel fast with my church and I must say that this has been my most successful attempt thus far. It has been so successful I have willingly decided to continue to fast on my own. It is pretty much a vegan diet with a spiritual aspect attached based on the first chapter of the book of Daniel. After the detox portion of the first two weeks, which if it doesn’t make you quit,...

Booking Our Trip

Guest post by Jewel Cole I basically used our clearwater clear internet connection to book our latest vacation. We used to always use a travel agent, but now that I don’t work and have some time on my hands, I have become our travel agent. I have found that I can really find things at great prices, better than those deals that our travel agent offered. We take a yearly ski trip to the Salt Lake City area. I got on...

See Your Lover More Clearly This Valentine’s...

When I was a child I loved superheroes. The Justice League was one of my favorite cartoons and my favorite characters were superman and Wonder Woman. I loved Superman because he could fly away up in the sky and be so free and he was so strong. I was going through a rough childhood and I really wished I could fly away from my home at times to escape. Many times at night I dreamt that I could fly. I was pretty disappointed...

Staying In

Guest post written by Fidel Hernandez There’s nothing I like more than staying at home on a rainy Saturday afternoon and watching a really old movie on AMC. I pretty much like anything Elizabeth Taylor is in and I love Cary Grant, obviously, and it’s so much fun to snuggle up with the dog and a cup of hot chocolate and catch up on my rest! I only got a TV just last year because I always just thought I didn’t need one...

Holiday Wish List

Have you made your wish list? If you have, what’s on your list to purchase this holiday season? Is it filled with items for yourself, your kids, your household or all of the above? In October of 2003 I was just about homeless. After 9/11 my self-owned and operated online bookstore and street vending business trickled to a slow halt. I was not in the position mentally to go job hunting again and I was sadly living off of my...

Deserving Eyes

I have been an avid reader since I read my first words at age 4. I was one of those kids who actually used a flashlight to read after being sent to bed. Until I became an adult and thought about it, I was confused as to how my sisters always knew that I wasn’t sleeping when my head was under the covers. To my dismay, I received my first pair of glasses around age 15…right smack in the middle of almost-ready-to-date...

Commercial for What?

I was running around doing errands for my job today. The first stop was the magistrate’s office to file Landlord/Tenant Judgment paperwork against two residents whose rental accounts are in delinquent status. On the way to post office, which was my second stop, I stopped off at McDonald’s to grab a quick hamburger happy meal. As I sat in the post office parking lot finishing my hamburger and fries, I heard the...

Thanksgiving Day Parade Before Turkey

Guest post written by Dwight Black   Every year it seems like my kids crowd around the TV and love all looking at all kinds of floats that are in the parade. Well I thought that it would be really fun for the whole family to go and see the big parade for ourselves! I know that it’s really expensive to go there and it’s going to be full of lots of people but I think that it’s going to be well worth all...

Trying to Avoid True Blood Spoilers

Guest post written by Amanda Brewer One  thing that I really try to do when I’m reading online about my favorite  TV shows is to avoid spoilers. They’re just so tempting to read. But in  times past when I’ve read them, I’ve been so angry at myself for  ruining what’s coming up in the show. Besides, that kind of defeats the  whole purpose in watching a show if you already know what’s...

Car Insurance Prices

I am not now nor have I been a fan of GEICO since we parted ways in 1996, however, I do believe in giving credit where credit is due. With the help of the American Moving and Storage Association, GEICO has create a brochure for its site entitled “Teens & Trucks”. This addition to GEICO’s library of safe driving materials for teen drivers is an attempt to keep teens informed on safe practices as well as...

Make Money…

Doesn’t everyone want to … Make Money … that is. I know I surely do. I was downsized in June of this year and since I’ve had more time on my hands than I normally would, I managed to finish up and publish my first blook (book based on a blog … yay me!) However, what that did was whet my appetite for becoming a part of the whole “starving artist”/”freelancer” world that...

Funeral Flowers

When you go to a funeral, do you ever stop to think about where the flowers came from? Do you even notice the lovely funeral flowers that are usually strategically and lovingly placed around and sometimes on the casket? Usually, well wishers are at a loss to decide what to do to help? Here’s a thought: with the use of a service like Dot Flowers you can do your part to help. Dot Flowers goes the extra mile on orders for...
