Mother’s Day

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

My mother has been hinting about wanting a new watch and with Mother’s Day right around the corner I’ve been looking around online to see if I can find a nice one to give to her without breaking my bank account. Bluedial.com has a great selection of all types of watches. I like that they offer free 2nd day shipping, free sizing and the fact that they accept PayPal is a big plus for me.

Seiko Kinetic Watches has some nice looking watches that I think would look good on my mother. She is very old fashioned and very petite so I have to be careful with what I get for her. I like the look of this one and blue is her favorite color. The fact that it is on sale for only $127 is very tempting!

Will it work?

My cousin’s girlfriend Bri has been raving about how much she loves her new magnetic bracelet.  She said that it has helped her arthritis tremendously!  So I started doing a little bit of research on magnetic therapy.  I couldn’t believe how many ailments magnets are supposed to help! From headaches, backaches, insomnia, stress, to diabetes!   Bri told me that she bought her bracelet at the billythetree.com website.  So I’ve gone online to check them out. 

Their prices certainly seem reasonable enough, and they have a good shipping and satisfaction policy.  I think I’ll order one for myself and see if I notice any difference in how I feel!  Sometimes I wonder if these things “work” because of the placebo effect, so I’m always curious, yet cautious.  What is your experience?  Do you have any magnetic jewelry?  Has it improved your life?

An oddity in nature

My good friend Judy knows how much I love animals.  She emailed me a link to a fantastic video about a herd of white deer.  I found it so interesting, I’d like to share it with you.  I hope you find it as interesting as I do!

Reaching out to make new friends

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Now I’ve heard that there are some new chat line services that are set up so that people can call in and talk for free with other people.  From what I understand the service is going to be a local one down the road, so people will be able to call the Dallas chat line or the Houston chat, or even the New York chat line and be able to make new friends in different areas of the country.  I think that would be rather fun to do, don’t you?

The old ways

My aunt Jillie likes to talk about how different things were when she was younger.  She talks about how she used to have to walk to school 1 1/2 miles (one way) every day.  Nowadays even the kids that live two blocks away ride the bus!  The school systems think that the children are safer if they don’t walk.  What a sad commentary that children aren’t safe even walking a couple of blocks to school anymore!

Jillie was telling me about how one day she and her sister found out about a phone chat line where people could call in anonymously and chat with other people.  She said that they actually met up with a few people a couple of times, but that most of the times that they arranged a meeting place no one else showed up.  That must have been disheartening!
