Last year I was fortunate to be able to receive an Oreck XL Gold Vacuum for review. We’ve been very pleased with it and have never had a problem. When I was offered the opportunity to review Oreck’s latest, the first thing I wondered was what had changed. I checked it out online and read [...]

Whoopi was wearing what looked like baggy judge robes today. Joy was wearing - you guessed it, black. Sherri was wearing a black and white checked outfit that reminded me of a tablecloth. Elisabeth looked lovely in white. Barbara Walters made a special visit to the show and looked wonderful in black and white.
President Obama [...]

Did the ladies coordinate their wardrobe’s today? Whoopi was wearing a white shirt and black pants. Joy was wearing a black (is there any other color?) dress. I loved the cut of the top, with the deep vee neck - very flattering for cleavage! Elisabeth was wearing a white, gray amd black pants outfit. Sherri [...]
Sherri looked particularly well endowed today in a gray and white dress. Elisabeth was in a green plaid and black pants outfit that looked like it was a tablecloth but it seemed awfully dark and serious. Joy was wearing a black pants sit with a greenish jacket - blah blah boring. Whoopi was wearing some [...]

Joy - In black again? What more can I say? Whoopi had on a shirt and vest today, it seemed a little more fitted and flattering than some of the others she’s worn. Elisabeth was wearing a black and white striped dress that made me think of black and white candy canes and black and [...]

(Pardon the awful picture. I have a terrible time taking pictures in my kitchen due to the lighting.)
Summer is here. This past week we’ve had temperatures as high as 104. This is the kind of weather that I hate to go grocery shopping in, because my food always starts to get warm and melt before [...]

i love taking screen captures, or screenshots, on a Mac.
On my Windows computer to get a picture of something on a screen I had to go through several steps. First I’d have to do a screen capture, then I had to paste it into an app. Then I’d have to edit the screenshot to cut [...]

My computer runs really slow, sometimes unbearably so. When I turned it on it would take between five and ten minutes to boot up and be ready to use. When I shut down it would take more than ten minutes to shut down, if it shut down at all. I’d get all kinds of messages [...]
When I started blogging years ago I tried a number of free blogging platforms including blogger, blogspot and wordpress. It didn’t take me long to realize that I wanted to make my blog truly my own, not somethingsomething.com. So I bought my first domain. Not long after that I heard horror stories from bloggers whose [...]
How many things do you have on your desk, connecting to your computer? We all have an iPod in our house so at any given time there is an iPod charging, sitting next to my desk chair. Today I saw a really neat keyboard, made especially for iPod and iPhone users - the LifeWorks iConnect [...]

24 years ago today I got married. It doesn’t really seem like it’s been that long. I was young - only 19. For those wondering if I’d do it again, the answer is yes. Sure, we’ve had our bumps in the road but I think we’re better for them. We renewed our vows in 2006. [...]

My son TJ went to the mall today with his girlfriend and her friend. The girls had wanted to go there to go shopping for bathing suits. He came home later in the evening, in an excellent mood. He said he had a good time at the mall. He’d spent $4 on a bracelet, exactly [...]

A few years back we decided to get TJ a stereo for his room. Being the man he is, RB went out and found a great deal on one and picked it up. What I didn’t know until after it had been brought home and installed was that it was a powerful unit. Powerful as [...]

Yesterday I was on the couch most of the day, unable to move. You see, we spent the weekend helping my brother, LB2, move out of his apartment. He had a lot of stuff, considering it was only a one bedroom apartment that he’d only been in for one year. We’d arranged to get a [...]
My son made his confirmation yesterday afternoon. We had a bit of a difference of opinion on clothes. He wore a Confirmation gown, but obviously needed to wear something underneath. I told him he needed to dress nicely. He went in his room and came out in suit pants, a t-shirt and sneakers. I told [...]

He got up before us. Usually he’ll let us know he’s up and one or both of us will get up. On this day it was way too quiet. This is what we found upon entering the living room. He was engrossed in the Sprout channel. When he saw us he tried his best to [...]

Today’s episode was the Summer Diet Show, a special edition focusing on weight and diets.
Joy -what’s with the all black, all of the time? Today’s outfit was not flattering at all, it reminded me of upholstery. Whoopi’s shirt was a bit more fitted but still loose. Elisabeth looked great in black and red shirt with [...]
