Fun on the Web July 31, 2011 Debt Limit

What is the point if I can't get on my soapbox once in a while. Where were all the Republicans while these Presidents raised the debt limit?

Fun on the Web July 29, 2011 Call Congress

Fight back TODAY. Call your representative, and tell them to increase revenue in the debt ceiling talks, and not just simply cut programs that benefit the majority of Americans. The whole world is watching. Dont just sit there... Let whatever light you have shine. Share with your friends because it would be a public service to do so.

Fun on the Web July 26, 2011 Meetups

Meetups is an online way to coordinate get-togethers of strangers/acquaintances who want to pursue a purpose. This could be politics, business networking, exercise groups, book clubs, dining clubs, or my favorite: The Girlfriends Group. I belong to several of these with various names: The Girlfriends Network, GIRLFRIENDS' CLUB (for Ladies 30 to 60), and Fabulous 40+ Womens Social Group. These are all groups of ladies who want to make new friends and have some fun.

I had a Scrabble Group in Madison at one point on Meetup. I even started a Girlfriends Group up north when I moved there. There were no other Meetups in the area when I started but now there are a few different ones. Our Girlfriends of Northcentral Wisconsin group fizzled once I left town and will end in about two weeks unless my co-organizers find some new blood to get the group going.

If you are looking for new friends or new fun check it out. Even if you want to get into politics, Scrabble or a dining group this is a great way to do it. Don't get me wrong, the bigger the city, the more types of groups you can find, so go on there, sign up, and check out your area.

Fun on the Web July 25, 2011 Keep Produce Fresher

Now we all know I don't realy recommend products but when buying local with no preservatives, I am all about being able to use all of my produce that I buy at the Farmers Market and not let it rot away. There is something to be said about fresh daily but where can we all get that these days? For sure not at the supermaket and our local Farmers Market is only once a week.

I think I will try these tips myself

Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary & his wife was angry. She said, "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds & IT BETTER BE THERE!" When she woke up, there was a box in the middle of the driveway. She ran outside to open it & inside she found a brand new bathroom scale.

Bob has been missing since Friday.
