Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

How many times have you caught yourself saying that there could be no other solution to a problem – and that that problem leads to a dead end? How many times have you felt stumped knowing that the problem laying before you is one you cannot solve. No leads.  No options.  No solutions.

Beginning Recycling at Home

Monday, November 20th, 2006

Every year, tons of material that could be recycled aren’t, and end up clogging our already overwhelmed dumps, waterways and roadsides.  Most people think it’s a difficult undertaking to organize a recycling center at home.  However, with some creativity and commitment, it can be easy to do.  You’ll feel better about yourself doing your part […]

Yuckky!

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

I logged on to the blog thismorning - to be faced with about 50 comments.  At first my hear skipped a beat as I thought that I’d actually had real visitors.  But no.  Some low-lives on the web had decided to target my blog with really gross sexually explicit SPAM. 
Well to all you lowlife spammers […]
