SubscribeIf I could change one thing about the world, it would be the me first attitude so prevalent today. If people would think of others before themselves the world would be a much better place. If people would default to doing the kind thing, we wouldn’t have so many of the problems we see today. [...]
Why You Need a Carbon Monoxide Detector
The carbon monoxide alarms is an important safety feature for any home. If you have any gas-powered appliances, such as a dryer, oven, or gas fireplace, carbon monoxide may be present in your home. While there are acceptable levels of carbon monoxide which do not cause people to have symptoms or need medical attention, it [...]
The Good Old Standards vs The New, Loud and Unclear
My favorite music is from the 30’s 40’s and 50’s. Standards sung by the greats, like Ella Fitsgerald, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday and Jo Stafford. It’s the kind of thing you can easily sing along to. The words are simple and sung clear and true. The music makes you want to get up [...]
The Carribean – Why get back on the boat?
The furthest I’ve been from home is Nassau, in the Carribean. I went on a 3 day cruside with my family and that was our one excursion. Once I got there I didn’t want to get back on the boat! We started off with a tour of the city, we saw the nice areas, the [...]
I love Costco
If I could spend $1000 anywhere it would be at Costco. First of all I love the shopping experience there. I love the samples. The people are always friendly and helpful. And there’s lots I would buy at Costco. I’d probably start by stocking up on groceries, and on basics like toilet paper and detergent. [...]

My favorite job has been working as a nanny. I’ve worked with children ages 1 – 10, boys and girls. There’s something very [...]
My Dream Vacation
My dream vacation would be a 6 month trip to Africa. I’ve wanted to go there ever since I was little. I love animals. I’ve enjoyed the people I’ve met from Kenya, South Africa and other countries. I would go on as many safaris as possible, see the Sahara and the Serengeti and the Sphinx. [...]
Fire retardant spray in the work place
In one of my work places, it was important that we used fire resistant fire retardant on some items. I used to work on a paddle-steamer and the engine room as well as the galley were places in which fires could start easily. That’s why it was important to fire-proof as much of the equipment [...]
Running for My Life
Something most people don’t know is how I feel about running. I’ve been running on and off, mostly on, for about 15 years. I started running to lose weight. It turns out that running may not be the most efficient way to lose weight (you need some weight training in there too as well as [...]
The Eyes Have It
Probably the best of my physical features would be my eyes. I used to think they were dark and mysterious, but having seen others with much darker eyes, I know they are in fact the kind of eyes often described as hazel. Some people think they’re brown; others think they are green. The truth is [...]
