Freaky Frugalite

I had a restless night’s sleep last night. Bad dreams, hot and humid weather, mice (or worse) rastling inside the walls, etc etc. So I woke up pretty groggy, needing my coffee. My lovely Livvy Cat, however, was meowing at my feet, begging pitifully for her food. So with a brief burst of compassion, lol, [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, THAT is a narwhal tusk. What is a narwhal, you ask? It’s a sea creature. It is something between a small whale and a large seal. The narwhal has a tusk. It’s actually a tooth gone wild. A front tooth grows like mad and develops into this crazy-long sword. Cartoon images of [...]

I love my GPS. I really do. But some days…. POW, right in the kisser! I used to wrangle with paper maps. And once I opened one of those things, I could NEVER fold it back up. NEVER. It was like the Rubik’s Cube to me. HOW THE HECK DO YOU DO THIS, AGAIN?!?! In [...]

Smith Wigglesworth As an ardent admirer of Kathryn Kuhlman, I have heard of Smith Wigglesworth. He was a plumber in Wales, born in 1859. He was an evangelist who did AMAZING miracles of healing.

We’ve all heard the lavish, glorious praises of the iPhone. But what about the “dark side” of the apps out there? If you have stayed up late, pondering what evil lurks in the App Store, wonder no more. I have done the legwork for you, peeps. I’ve cut out the perverted and the obscene because [...]

My local area got hit very badly- dams burst and the creeks and rivers are overflowing. I’ve never seen the creeks flood into the local homes like this before. My house is OK. I am slightly uphill from the creek. We have water in our basement but it’s under control. It’s a miracle, really. I [...]

We shall never forget…. *takes off hat, holds hat to heart* I was on my bed, typing at my laptop (I write upstairs in my room, it’s quieter). Suddenly, I feel the bed swaying. Just a little. But it’s constant, so it gets my attention. As if someone is rocking the bed just a little [...]

Last night, I rolled over in bed and was suddenly struck on the leg in pain. A bite! It felt like a hornet’s sting, yow! The thing swelled up to about the size of a quarter and hurt like the dickens. The hubs and I looked everywhere for the malicious critter that had inflicted the [...]

Ooo, this is just in time for summer gift shopping and giving– coupons and sale notifications for new gadgets! I may be a little too late about this before Father’s Day, sorry. Some of these gadgets would make super cool Father’s Day gifts! Oh well, get something for next year, eh? The website is GeekAlerts.com. [...]
