Are there Veteran’s benefits to pay for long-term care? Yes! Do you know a veteran or their widow(er) that needs help paying for long-term care? I’m posting this hoping that some folks will find some benefit to it, and party because I have a tendency to lose brochures, etc., and I wanted to make sure…
Read MoreA socialism experiment
I don’t know if this is real or not, but I like it anyway. An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism would work and that no one would be…

I’m giving vermicomposting a try after a great presentation at the The Backyard Gardeners meeting last month at the Chesapeake Public Library. William Jowers, Chowan County, NC, Master Gardener Volunteer will present, “There Are Worms in My Kitchen…”, a program on vermiculture and vermicomposting. Raising worms for compost is a fascinating topic and is something…
Read MoreWho to trust on product reviews?
I’m shopping for a new, bigger hard drive for my younger son’s xmas gift. Found this one: Anybody know if it’s any good? The price ranges for hard drives of this size only fluctuate about $10 either way, so price isn’t all that much of a concern. I just need to know if it’ll last.…

Saturday, September 12, 2009 Washington, DC I was joined by a close friend, Cathy Pickard, as we made our way to DC to march with fellow patriots to send a message to Congress and our President: We want fiscal responsibility, we don’t want big (or bigger) government, we don’t want more irresponsible spending, and ever…

What is Google Voice all about, anyway? It’s a permanent phone number from Google. It’s free and has tons of features. I like the idea of having a permanent phone number. I like the idea of having one-click widgets online for folks to call me, too. The cool part of the “Call Me” widget is…
