Unlimited Access to Study Results

Unfortunately, my email inbox is often loaded with information regarding the results of studies of all kinds and the AOL and Comcast news sites point to others. If you sign up for any health related newsletters, you are inundated with information. It’s difficult, at times, to determine who has paid for these studies. If they are reported by pharmaceutical companies… click here to continue

Sunny or Not

Now that it’s almost April, this program finally got the date right. I’ve had to correct it all month until today.

Yesterday was bright and sunny so I did a little gardening in the planters on the deck and planted pansies in a pot for the front steps. Today it rained and our forecast is for rain or showers almost… click here to continue

Goes With the Territory

Living in a senior complex has its own little idiosyncrasies. We see and hear ambulances and fire rescue vehicles more often than in other communities. We can’t depend on our residential directory to be completely up-to-date even when it is printed. We received a new one today. In the same delivery, there was a newsletter with a review of a… click here to continue

Adios Mexico

I have had several wonderful vacations in Mexico. The climate is fantastic, the scenery beautiful and the manana philosophy very relaxing. Luxurious resorts provide all kinds of recreation. Bringing home reasonably priced and delicious Vanilla was a plus. I’m still using some from a large bottle I bought on my last trip.

Does Anyone Else Wonder

Our census questionnaire arrived this afternoon. The instructions are to complete and return it today. However, it asks who resides here on April 1, 2010. That date has not yet arrived. We are elderly. If one of us disappears before April 1st, it won’t be accurate. If a household occupant elsewhere is eight and a half months pregnant, there could… click here to continue
