AFTER TWO WEEKS WITH CABLE, MY FAVORITE PROGRAMS ARE...
Two weeks ago yesterday, I got cable. I have 287 channels or so, and I admit I spend most of my time on the travel channel (50). I love three shows in particular: Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern; Anthony Bourdain in No Reservations and Dr. Mike in Bite Me. These guys are nuts and I simply love the...

OKAY, SOMETHING WEIRD IS GOING ON, I KILL SPIDERS NOW
I used to save spiders and other insects from their demise - a smashing sort of death, but lately, they've gone the way of the SPLAT. I am actually nervous around big spiders anymore, and at one time, I wasn't. Sunday and yesterday, there was a big spider in my kitchen sink and I had Mr. Ariala kill...

PLANNING YOUR NEXT BOOK?
Often, I think about creating an attractive book of photography, personal quotes, poetry and other thoughts...I think and think about, but for some reason, I have a hard to sitting down and actually creating it. I have all the software I need to create an attractive PDF to load and have printed...

MY LIFE SO FAR WITH CABLE AND A DVR BOX
I know some of you find it funny that I just got cable in 2009. Like my good friend Blackcat told me in an email when I told her, "Welcome to 1982." LOL I decided that with cable, not only is my carbon footprint much better, I am also going to save quite a bit of money by not going to movies every...

IT SEEMS THE MORNINGS ARE NEVER FULLY DARK, A LOOK AT THE SOLSTICE
Tomorrow is the summer solstice. It is the longest day of the year and it always tells us the days are becoming shorter again, pointing us to the autumn season, right around the corner. The mornings will be darker once more, not something I look forward to when I drive to work. Right now, I'm...

GETTING BACK INTO THE HABIT OF WRITING FOR MONEY
I admit, I recently took a mental vacation from writing for money. I think I got burned out for a while and discouraged about a few endeavors I tried that went no where. Although the article writing was going really well, I got bored with the subjects I was writing about. However, the money was...

POSTING AND COMMENTS ARE BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT FOR ME
I recently downloaded the new Internet Explorer and as a result, I can't get the Emoticons to work at all, NOR am I able to leave a second line on the comments. In fact, I can't even post a blog from I.E. as the cursor never appears in the body of the message. I am posting from AOL right now. All I...
