New Cell Service With Android
Oct 15th
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
OK, so I’m still on the lookout for a new cell service. I recently found one of real interest: Straight Talk. I like the android platform, and they have those, with a service plan that’s just about the best I’ve seen in a while. It’s only $45 a month for unlimited talk, unlimited text, and unlimited data. You just can’t get much better than that. The android platform is very popular with all kinds of apps being created every day. I think More >
Gardener at heart
Aug 19th
Contribution by Saul Martin
Being really into gardening is great for the environment but I feel like there are a few things people don’t know about how to do it correctly. One of the biggest issues I’ve had has been pests like bugs and squirrels and those are actually pretty easy to contain. My best suggestion is chicken wire and some low level pesticides to ward them off and you won’t really have to worry. I also suggest going to www.SatelliteStarINTERNET.com to look into satellite internet where you can find tons of great products and seeds for the home gardener. That’s where More >
Clark Howard Recommends Zenni
Aug 12th
Need to save money? Who doesn’t? Do you know how to do it Well, Clark Howard does. He has just released a new book to help us start saving money in just one week. The title of the book is “Clark Howard’s Living Large in Lean Times.”
One of the things he recommends is using Ooma. Ooma is a substitute for your home phone service. You get an Ooma box, and with your internet connection, you have free local phone service for as long as Ooma exists. How cool is that?
He also recommends that you buy your eyeglasses online. At Zenni, More >
Keeping Cool
Jun 24th
Summer is here again. Well, not only here, but more than halfway gone, as the summer solstice has passed. So now the days will start getting shorter and shorter. That’s OK with me, as long as the weather cools off as well. Summer here in the South (South Eastern USA) is usually very hot, and the last two weeks have been no exception, with temperatures getting into the 90′s every day. This pretty much makes sure that everyone is in the lightest clothing possible. By light I mean two things, one- light colors so that you don’t absorb any more More >
Patriotic Chocolate
Jun 19th
So, I’m sitting here, tooling around online, not an unusual activity for me, and I get this craving for chocolate. I’ve done my best to not buy any lately, because, well, you know, if it’s here in the house, it’s in my stomach, or on my hips already. Anyway, not being able to find any, and still being focused on it, I did some searching around online for a good chocolate source.
I found a great one. It’s (more…)

Mar 12th
In the wake of this tragic Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan,, I would like to take a moment to send my heartfelt prayers to all those suffering in Japan. To those of us still safe and sound, the enormity of the disaster is still incomprehensible. We don’t yet have any idea what the extent of the damage will be, in terms of life, and property, economics, and personal loss. But it is most likely, beyond comprehension. Our prayers are with you all.

Apr 14th
Shiitake mushrooms are great for flavoring many many dishes. They are sometimes also known as shiang-gu mushrooms, oak mushrooms, black forest mushrooms, black mushrooms, or just forest mushrooms. They have a rich, almost buttery flavor, which is not like other mushroom varieties. When they are dried, the flavor concentrates, and has a smoky hint to it. The texture of the shiitake is also different from most other mushrooms. It has a much lower water content which accounts for its density, and chewy texture, as well as the intense flavor.
Shiitakes are best when grown on a tree, or log, and not More >
