If I had to choose One food to eat for the rest of my life, it would probably be the avocado. I’ve loved them since I was a child, when a half avocado was a RARE treat!
Compact Florescent Light bulbs can be found in many homes today. While the initial cost can be high, the cost savings over time will be reflected in not having to replace them every few months and in lower utility bills. When we bought our home, we splurged & bought them for every fixture in the house. Since we had our daughter & son-in-law living in the finished basement and a steady stream of company visiting from Tennessee, we knew we’d start saving right off the bat.
Taken from my safegreenclean blog. Originally published August 25, 2009.*** So for the past few years I’ve been hearing about the disappearing honeybees. This was originally of importance to me because I happen to be quite fond of honey and dislike the rise in prices as production slows down. Now researchers believe they have found a reason for the bees’ decline.
Taken from my safegreenclean blog. Originally published October 6, 2009.*** I hardly watch any television, but I have started recording Dr. Oz to hit the highlights I’m interested in. Well, let me tell you that I got more than I bargained for the other day!
Taken from my safegreenclean blog. Originally published September 14, 2009.*** Just how safe is your cell phone, really? As someone who really doesn’t like to spend hours on the phone, I don’t worry TOO much about myself, but my husband & (grown) children are always talking to somebody.
A light bulb is a light bulb, right? Sure, they come in different sizes & shapes, and most notably the “shades” of bright. Then you have colors which create moods. Add to that the various applications for those odd shapes, colors, and effective lights, and a body can have quite a decision making dilemma on their hands! Read the rest of this entry
I love the idea of composting! Of taking items we might normally throw in the garbage and using them to make nutrient rich material to enrich the soil in our yard and garden. When we bought our home last year we bought a compost tumbler for the back yard. I had visions of a garden and flower beds that would yield oodles of vegetables and flowers, respectively. 
Although our property shares a lake, there is a wooded area directly behind the water. Since we are in subdivision with a homeowner’s association, I felt it best to purchase a contained system despite the fact that the only ones who would ever see it would be our immediate neighbors. (Who are GREAT, btw!)
A while back I decided to forego paper coffee filters, even environmentally friendly ones. I bought a stainless steel mesh basket filter and I love it! No more changing the soggy mess, hoping to make it to the the compost pail before it breaks or leaks all over the floor! No more thinking that there are still filters in the pantry only to find out that there aren’t! So far, I don’t see any drawbacks to my recent acquisition other than what to do with my leftover paper filters.
I turn 45 this year. Being a “woman of a certain age,” there are many things that have begun to assert themselves into my life. Read the rest of this entry
I don’t know why, but I couldn’t believe it when I read this article. WHY does my government need to know my BMI? That’s between me, my physician, and my insurance company. I can think of two reasons off the top of my head why they would want that info: increase my taxes and restrict my access to health care. Little by little, our private lives are becoming government property.
AC’s friend R came to visit yesterday from Tennessee. He was just coming to see our house and AC’s job site, eat lunch and then go home. However, he had brought a change of clothes (“Just in case!) and decided to spend the night. R has been a vegetarian for some time, and leads a very healthy lifestyle, but recently adopted veganism.
Social media is a vital element of modern successful business practices. Using social networks to build your business is the most cost effective way to get exposure for your business. For centuries, business owners have used word of mouth to spread the word about their products and services. By utilizing the Internet, business owners are now able to reach either a broad section of the population or a more precise, targeted sector. Used as a free or nearly free form of advertising, business owners, marketers and entrepreneurs can increase sales and build a steady customer base by choosing the right venue and interacting with people on a consistent basis.
For years, people have been speculating on whether Donald Trump is sporting a hairpiece or just has a really unique comb-over. Ryan Seacrest laid the rumors to rest in an interview with The Donald, which was caught on tape. I won’t tell you whether it’s really his or just real. Check out the video for yourself: Donald’s Hair
