What's Up with Me

I have to ask my readers tolerance for my absences in August. I've been doing some physical labor lately. Because I have always worked at a desk, this is like going to the gym for me. I have been trying to be smart and building up my tolerances but this past week was just beyond belief. One night I got home at midnight and another "short day" was almost 8 pm before I got here and had supper.

I know this will get easier as time moves forward but right now it's a job and helping to pay the bills. In the long run I will be stronger for it. It will help balance out my computer and other desk time.

Fun on the Web Aug 26, 2011 Change Your Name on Facebook

There could be many reasons to change your name: adding a name by marriage or your maiden name are the most obvious, but it could be because of business or to separate a professional profile from a game playing account. Here is a how to:

About negative people…….

This is something to think about when negative people are doing their best to rain on your parade. So remember this story the next time someone who knows nothing and cares less tries to make your life miserable.

A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband.. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded:

" Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty... You're crazy to go to Rome .. So, how are you getting there?"

"We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!" "Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. " That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome ?"

"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome 's Tiber River called Teste."

"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."

"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope." "That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. "You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."

A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome

"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot..

And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city.

They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!"

"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the Pope."

"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican , a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.

Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."

"Oh, really! What'd he say ?"


He said : "Who fucked up your hair?"

Fun on the Web Aug 25, 2011 Chalk Fest & Scrabble

OK so I have been bad. Life has been so busy!

Here are pics from Chalk Fest
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150274021994272.340268.77929489271

I have been up and down the highway every direction possible. Started playing Scrabble again with real live people through Meetup.
http://www.meetup.com/Madison-scrabble-women-weekday/

Started my new part time job, been reading a book about the JFK Assassination, cleaning my messy house, and am working on getting eBay back and running (which involves digging stuff out, writing descriptions, taking pictures, and pricing it). I am also trying to cook more often from scratch. What can I say? So many things and so little time.

Got to play Scrabble this morning. What fun! Between working and other commitments I haven't had much "me" time lately. What do you like to do in your spare time?

For me playing live is best but when I can't there are other ways.

Fun on the Web Aug 21, 2011 Chalk Fest at Bayshore

It was a crazy week with very little access to the internet due to travel, outages of the internet where I was, work, and some fun stuff too. First for the fun stuff: all of you in the Milwaukee area head on over to Bayshore Mall. Near guest services (and Bar Louie) they have the road blocked off where we participated in Chalk Fest
http://www.bayshoretowncenter.com/chalkartfestival.aspx

I say we, but my grand daughter really was the artist. I just drove and tried to keep her from getting too sunburned by holding a golf umbrella over her. Well I also solicited votes from friends and passers by (much to her chagrin) but what the heck. Waiting to see if she won one of the cash prizes for drawing with special water soluble chalk on the asphalt.

There were lots of people looking and one of my Meetup groups was there for lunch and to look so she should have their votes, I think. There were also some real photographers which I talked into sending me pics via email so I hope to post a picture and of course if her picture goes to the website I will post a link.

It was fun but of course I am sunburned. It's not too bad since we used SPF 50 Waterproof which we reapplied during the day. I made sure to get my grand daughter covered. Eventually I even got her part but I think it was too late already. The day started out with pouring rain so who knew what a blazing sky it would be out there. We just slathered on the sunscreen and did the best we could for shade.

She is number 45 and drew some Pokemon characters. The kids seemed to like them. It should last a little while but once they open the road there who knows how long it will last?

Fun on the Web Aug 13, 2011 Reduce Healthcare Costs

I have a website about being out of work, finding work and other resources, and reducing costs. While that is not fun, reducing what you pay for your doctor and dentist visits is a really good thing!

Stupid is a pre-existing condition ~ ~ Bill Maher

Curious people are intersting people, I wonder why that is. ~ ~ Bill Maher

The tea baggers. The one thing they hate is when you call them racist. The other thing they hate is black people. But they won't say it. ~ ~ Bill Maher

Things aren't right. If a burglar breaks into your home and you shoot him, he can sue you. For what, restraint of trade? ~ ~ Bill Maher

We need more people speaking out. This country is not overrun with rebels and free thinkers. It's overrun with sheep and conformists. ~ ~ Bill Maher

Fun on the Web Aug 11, 2011 Crazy Grazin Days

I love going to the fair! Don't you? The music, the veg-o-matic peddlers, seeing the animals: how can you go wrong? I'm a sucker for the food. Seriously, who can resist the cream puffs? I'm a big fan of the Mille's Italian Sausage too. Frankly there isn't a lot at the Fair I wouldn't at least try but you can't do it all.

To increase the number of things you can try, the Fair did a tasting day with a special menu (available here http://www.wistatefair.com/11_web/pdf/Crazy_Grazin_lo_res.pdf )

We had an awesome time but I am just done in.

Fun on the Web Aug 8, 2011 Storing Tomatoes

We are coming to the point of the year when considering what to do with the bounty of the garden is approaching. I usually bring in some of my herbs for the winter, and try to save a few tomatoes. I have taken some of my herbs and dried them in the basement. They provide a continuing reminder of why fresh, really fresh is always best.

I have never canned anything but maybe I could try some this year.

Fun on the Web Aug 5, 2011 Milwaukee Art Museum

My grand daughter is into art. Just moving here from another state she had never been to the Milwaukee Art Museum. The 1st Thursday of the month Target sponsors a FREE day. Since going is a pricey proposition with tickets at $14 ($12 for senior over 65 and students 12 and up), I had planned an event on one of the free days.
http://www.mam.org/

After the fact, It was fabulous! We spent about 6 hours just walking around and talking about art.

We saw most everything except they are constantly changing the exhibits. We had walked through one and when we reached the end turned to go back the way we came and the room was blocked off. Later when we went by, I peeked in between the partitions and every one of the paintings were down in preparation to change the exhibit. They have so much in storage at all times that it is easy or perhaps it is hard because there is so much to choose from in storage.

Fun on the Web Aug 3, 2011 Back Pain and its Care

As a long time chiropractic patient, I have a personal interest in this subject. The short version is I flew through the air and landed on one shoulder, did the traditional medical route of drugs, PT, OT, Whirlpools, Intermittent Traction, and even tried Utrasound before I resorted to chiropractic. After a year I was out of pain for the first time!

The prescription is always to strengthen my core. Now it may be a return to Yoga. A subject I taught at the Community Center back in the day and something I turn to time and again.

Fun on the Web Aug 2, 2011 Summer Skin Care

Being really fair, I have watched out in the summer for a long time. Everyone around me knows I am very prone to sunburn. I have grown to loathe the feel of sunscreen, but now there are moisturizers that are less disgusting (some even have a little color in them.) They are a major improvement!

The best advice is to stay out of the noon day sun. In other words, minimize the time you are outside between 10am and 3pm, wear a hat, sit or walk in the shade, turn your back to the sun, and look for any opportunity no matter how short during those hours to avoid sun but still try to have a normal life.That means I eat lunch inside, take walks early or late in the day, avoid the pool or lake till after 3pm, and generally enjoy my air conditioning or shady yard mid day.

Here are more tips on Summer Sun Care

I don't know about you but I can't stand my hair down on my neck in the summer. Most of the time I just throw it up in a clip but sometimes I like it to look really nice. Here are some tips for putting up long hair in a casual yet sophisticated way.
