Do you believe in horoscopes?

Every morning I tell myself not to be silly, and every morning, come rain come shine, I read them. The horoscopes. Or rather my particular horoscope in various on line sites. And then I ponder and try to work out the average tendency for the day. Reason kicks in and I tell myself that not each and... Sign in to see full entry.

Why making $1 a day IS big money!

I am proud to report, that I have now come to the point where I make consistently $1 per day from my posts on blogit, because you, my dear friends, read me and are interested in what I have to say. That is a great source of satisfaction and it shows me that I have done the right thing in giving up... Sign in to see full entry.

Giving a gift should be a pleasure to both sides, or not?

A few weeks ago, I was invited to a 50th birthday party. It was the birthday of a long standing friend and he is one of those people who 'have everything', which makes it quite difficult to select of gift. I gave it much thought because I thought a special occasion warrants a special gift. I knew... Sign in to see full entry.

Nightmare

He tossed and turned He moaned and groaned, Cold sweat drenched crumpled sheets Again the nightmare playing out The horrors of the crash The light turned red Or didn't it? The lorry hurtling out, The shriek of brakes The tearing sounds, He woke up with a shout, Oh God, oh no, it could't be, Reality... Sign in to see full entry.

A horrible night and a lesson learned

I was somewhat reluctant to write this post, but I still feel so depressed and disturbed, I decided to unload my grief with my always supportive and understanding friends here on blogit. Last night I went out with my Cuban friends for a meal and visit to the Delano nightclub here in Miami. They were... Sign in to see full entry.

The latest fashion - a scowl?

I never cease to wonder what it's all about when I look at the fashion models sashaying down the catwalk or peek at the photgraphs in the glossy magazines. What catches my attention are not so much the skinny figures and protruding bones but the expression on their faces. I thought the purpose of... Sign in to see full entry.

Am I a hoarder?

Every now and again I take a look at myself and try to find out what makes me tick and what weird habits I may have. It's like taking your soul to a spa and have a spiritual make over. Today is such a day and I was just wondering where the urge to stock up and hoard may come from. To explain: I have... Sign in to see full entry.

Dire Warnings

I'm still finding my way around life in America and therefore am bound to notice things that others take in their stride. One of these things are the dire warnings printed on most consumer products, which I find peculiar and sometimes outright intimidating. Here are two examples: Before my furniture...

Can I ask?

I am confronted with a puzzling situation. I have a dear friend, let's call her Mary, who is originally from Texas, but living since a few years in London where I met her. She now spends some months in Palm Beach and comes visit, but sometimes cancels at the last moment. We actually met in Ascot at... Sign in to see full entry.

Let's get paid to be polite!

I'm sick and tired of the following situation: I'm about to leave a building, a shop, bank, whatever and another person is waiting to enter. So, of course, I walk out and hold the door open. More often than not, the person sails past as if I were the busboy (or rather busgirl in my case) without so... Sign in to see full entry.
