It really needed to happen. My old, old, old (I don’t know how many years old now) Reebok’s had been losing the little inside rubber pieces for months, then the sides started to rip off. I tried to nail & screw the flap back on, but after a couple more weeks, that idea […]

A couple months ago I came down with a cold. I guess my last-minute resort, Echinacea, couldn’t help prevent this one. In any case, a nice contact of mine at the time recommended “Emergen-C” to me, saying that during the winter he drinks it all the time to avoid colds.

Almost lost my finger today. I was at my studio trying to use my serger after it had been in storage for months, and I found that I had a lot of cleaning and realigning to do. When I just about got it set up for a certain stitch, the threads got stuck […]

I don’t understand it, I come back to my car - actually, I peeked from half a block away - and saw that bright orange thing in my windshield wiper. Knowing that I parked during a street cleaning (Okay, I saw the street cleaner go by, and even a NYPD parking ticket guy […]

Maybe you’re trying to lose weight but don’t know how. Or perhaps you are at your ideal weight and want some ideas on how to maintain your figure. This list may (or may not) help.
This is coming from somebody who has been thin (and athletic) ALL her life. Don’t get me wrong, […]

These are the best extensions, IMO, for me. I’m wary of adding more, for fear of slowing down the browser, so I’ve stuck with the ones I need the most.
(if you don’t use Firefox yet, because you’re still stuck on IE or whatever, what are you waiting for! At least try it out, […]

For those of you who know what I’m talking about, you KNOW what I’m talking about! Yes, that cryptic, outlandish, high-tech (at the time), animation with the most captivating background songs EVER! (Okay, I’m going overboard here, but at the age of 4, 5, I don’t really remember, Star Blazers was the best […]
