People buy two wedding dresses? I totally knew that!
People are buying two wedding dresses now. One for the wedding, and then another for the reception. Now, I could justify that because one may get dirt, etc. But when you spend $2,700 on the main one and then $1,700 on the next wedding dress it seems a bit excessive. Now, you are expected to…

I actually was planning on going to Australia this fall. However, the person whom I was set to go with was having trouble with choosing a Sydney Accommodation.

Southren Baptists are doing their part to help public schools
That’s right! Southern Baptists are being extremely helpful by calling for a mass exodus of their children from public schools. Court decisions that banned prayer and devotional readings in the early 1960′s added to their anger after the creationism vs. evolution debate of the 1920′s. While many Southren Baptists disagree with this entirely, it is…

My grandfather had Alzheimer’s and it is a wretched disease that made him…

F-Cup Cookies…That’s Right
As if weird names and products weren’t sad enough. There’s a cookie coming from Japan that just doesn’t know what’s up. It’s F-Cup cookies. That’s right…F-Cup Cookies. They are neither cups nor are they real cookies. They appear to be some sort of wafer like substance, or something. Cookies have a weird way of being…
Fed’s Want All Porn Stars in Database…Sicko’s
Apparently Porn is a big national issue for the Federal Agents assigned to this next task. They are to gather the names,stage names,maiden names, and photos of all known porn stars in the United States currently performing in any movies that are considered “x” rated. This of course is going to protect our freedoms somehow…
Hundreds pose naked on Swiss Glacier
Over 600 people posed naked on a Alpine glacier. The participants endured the hardship of standing naked in 50 degree temperatures.

Bloomfield Hills is rich!
While the rest of us are barley surviving in Michigan, with very few new jobs. It is amazing at all the layoffs the state is making, and yet you wonder what we are spending our tax revenue on? How about a Cadillac police car that doesn’t look like it even has a back seat! How…
Bathroom Vanities
The bathroom vanities in our hallway bath upstairs are rather old and could use updating. However, when we went into the Kitchen and Bath store I was awestruck at how much it costs to replace just a few cabinets. I imagine most of it is in the installation, but still $7,500…I think I am going…
Century Furniture
I did look at Century furniture when we were picking out the furniture at the furniture store, but I though this just is not for me. We ended up going with a shaker and Amish sort of collection that are beautiful oak. The headboard is just gorgeous and for the price is the best value…

Makeup mirrors
Another find at Target today was Makeup Mirrors. I never even knew there was such a thing. I always thought women just used their makeup, and were done with it. However, I cannot believe some of the time people spend on putting up makeup and changing their looks it is nuts! Congratulations to the millions…
Costco:Fireplace
The local Costco has a beautiful copper outdoor fireplace that will make your neighbors scream with envy. I was just walking through, like usual, on my way to get some pita chips. It was meticulous to detail and was at a reasonable price, unlike Home Depot and Lowe’s. I probably will not be buying it…
Tennessee
You know the last time I was in TN(yes, I don’t want to have to keep spelling it), was probably about 5 years ago. It is a beautiful state, very mountainous and such. I am thinking about vacationing there again sometime soon. Probably within two to three years. One idea that came to mind was…
1992 Honda Accord doesn’t have air conditioning. :(
I have a 1992 Honda Accord that still runs, has 237,000 miles on it and has just a few rust spots. The sad thing is that when I went to run it the other day, it had no air conditioning. I think the problem may be the cooling fluid or something similar. After all, this…

Salle Mae is one of the nations largest student loan consolidation companies. They have a very large amount of loans, including those of a friend of mine.

Skin care
As my skin is beautiful(far from it), I will never in my lifetime need skinceuticals. I am not a woman, so therefore, I do not need makeup. That is the fact of the matter plain and simple. However, I know a lot of women that refuse to wear makeup because of their “inner beauty”, I…
Berndes Cookware
I was just thinking about the post where I said I would by Breezie cookware. Hmm, as I am recalling that offer berndes cookware looks pretty good. But first off, she will have to pay 99% of the costs and I will have to pay 1%. I will also pay applicable shipping charges. Sounds like…
Golden Braclets from my great grandmother
As I may or may have not blogged about in June, my great grandmother died at age 91. She was a wonderful lady, but it was simply her time to pass. However, she left quite a bit of “stuff” behind and I was sort of annoyed that we had just moved her when she became…
