Ps: Forget Ed Begley, who you might not like because he's a 'celebrity' lol! I was just perusing Oprah's magazine, forget that it's hers, I found an article that you might be interested in in the September issue....Author James Clave built a cottage from scratch eco-friendly and what he learned, including from big mistakes...he wrote a book "Almost Green: How I saved 1/6th of a Billionth of the Planet"....I'll shut up now [e digicons]:D[/e]

Have you ever seen Ed Begley Jr's show? He seems to know a lot, goes around helps his friends and other people. Here's his website http://www.livingwithed.net/house.asp?target=34 It might not be anything, but just a thought!

[quote]Often the classes are methods for physical practice and emphasis of proper procedures. Knowing the steps is just part of that which you could even check out whenever you have time; there is plenty of literature available. Hope everything is alright after the emergency, foreverserenity.[/quote] I'll check that out. We survived the emergency...just a lot of thinking about things right now. Thx Kurtin.

You know those stories, you've had them read to you as a child, seen the movies, read the novels when you grew up...."and they live happily ever after". Is that an illusion, a lie, are we trying to make an illustion reality? Shouldn't we really not give that illusion to our little impressionable ones? Hmmm....I do like the , love, love, LOVE the ideal of "happily ever after", and w

Exactly how honest are you on your blogs? That is not a rhetorical question and that is not because someone lied to me or I caught someone in a lie. This is a truly honest question! People do make things up, don't they? Sometimes I wonder do they really feel this way? How do I know that is the truth? Why should they lie? I guess I have no choice but to take them at face value, we all do right? But I'm getting away from my point in thi

[quote]It's good to know at least a few of your neighbors, but time and experience has taught me that you don't want to get *too* close, because when problems arise later on (as they did with Tonya) those relationships can be difficult to extricate oneself from.[/quote] So true Whip, so true!

[quote] You get that 'blank stare' response, as if they're looking right through you. Slowly...ever so slowly...they begin to 'warm up.' And once the other neighbors see you having positive interactions with a few others on the block, they too begin to come around.[/quote] I'm used to that!lol! And no they don't warm up, the ones who do that. After several attempts, I gave up. No need to knock my head against a wall. It is probably the cultural differences, they being

[quote]The ruth is we don't really know what Obama can do and will do. Take Bush for example.

And he's ready to continue with the Bush policies! [quote](key words may not possibly) be the right choice simply because he's Blac

Hey I remember Estello! I thought that journey was over! Ouch on the foot! I'm glad it is healing! Aw those lazy days of summer! I have tried to keep active this year because I was so lazy the year before! I wish you luck on your diet. I'm still working out and eating for weight loss, when I'm not craving something chocolaty (if there's such a spelling!)LOL! Now I'm off to the Bowling Alley...my kids won't leave me alone!

[quote who="kurtin" comment="1"]It is a very good thing to know those life-saving techniques. Also, not being certified can have undesirable consequences if something goes wrong while you are trying to save a person's life. I've gone through certification and retraining a couple of times myself. Great job in seeking that certification because you never know when you'll need to be prepared to react.[/quote] Yes, the old "sue em" attitude is a risk factor! Hopeful

I have lived in a gated apartment community, for quite a while now. We have gotten to know some of our neighbors over the years. Some are really nice and some are not so nice! Those not so nice ones we stay away from. There are some that are users, meaning they are more interested in what they can get from you, rather than the friendship; and there are some that are the "Hi, how are you, nice weather" type; as well as those that you don't mind doing a favor f

I have always wanted to take CPR but have never gotten around to it, all these years. Ever since giving birth, I was always afraid of not being prepared were something to happen that would require me to give my child/children mouth to mouth, thank heavens, knock on wood...nothing!

Some of my sidebar links work, some do not. I have updated the ones that just doesn't seem to work and yet I get the same thing when I click on one or two of the links....I don't get the blog site I want to read! Please fix this or let me know what I'm not doing to make it right? Having the sidebar is the easiest way for me to find some of my favs and it has been hard to for a while now.

[quote]I'm just observing it and letting it pass. Everything's gonna be okay.[/quote] Roy, just getting to this blog (don't ask!lol) I like that statement because there are times in life when all you can do is observe the moment and let it pass, get out of your system. I have many days like these and it is sink or swim, or carry on for one more day. I'm updating my sidebar so that I can find you in the future!

Charles, you know or should know who you are without anyone telling you otherwise. You have your own consience. Whip is correct in what she said in that you're putting everyone in a group, not as individuals! That football player is an asshole and should be banned, etracised,, and everything else that can be done to him! These are the types of people some, eg., articles like these, use to always say and think that they do. The fact tht you're askin
