Taking the kids to see Billy Elliot on tour
Feb 4th
Guest post written by Carol Brighton
It’s a little funny how when I talk about my kids, I’m referring to my twenty something grown children. But I guess that it’s just a habit to keep on calling them your kids no matter what. When they were younger, it used to be like pulling teeth to get them to go to museums or go and see plays. But now they suggest going and doing that stuff all of the time. p>
My daughter let me know a while back that Billy Elliot was going to be touring near us, so we decided that More >

Jan 15th
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I am sure most people have heard of Walgreens pharmacies. Express Scripts, a medical insurance network provider has decided it will no longer pay for prescriptions filled by Walgreens pharmacies nationwide as well as Duane Reade pharmacies in the New York City area. If you have Express Scripts medical insurance then this news could be very inconvenient and troublesome to you. Walgreens and Express Scripts have had a contract up until December 31, 2011. Walgreens tried to negotiate with Express Scripts but failed. As More >
Having a Choice
Jan 2nd
Thanks for the post from Sylvester Campbell
My job transferred me to New York last year, and my family was really bummed that we had to leave our home in Atlanta. I knew we had to go because it was such a great opportunity for me, and I knew the kids would get used to it. When we were choosing a house I looked up New York Electricity Rates so that I could gauge what our expenses would be each month. I found that I could actually shop around for the best rates, which I found really interesting. It’s great how our More >

Is your office or cubicle dark, cluttered, dirty, caveman style technology or just totally unorganized? Is it a place that small children and animals would be scared to enter? Then great, I have something you will love. There is a Pimp My Cube Contest being held right now in which the winner will have their office or cubicle “made over” by the Contest Factory. The more disastrous your office is the more likely you are to win. All you have to do to More >
All I Want For Christmas Is To See
Dec 21st
If you are like most people, as you age your sight seems to diminish more and more. You may be like me and wish your Christmas present would include better vision. Since that is probably not going to happen then the next best thing is to get a nice pair of eyeglasses. The only problem is eyeglasses are expensive and once you purchase them you are stuck. It is not safe or healthy not being able to see well. This is a real problem especially if you are purchasing glasses for someone in your family as a Christmas present. Well, More >

Are you a multi-tasker that wishes you could do two things at the same time? Well, I am guilty of the same wish. If this sounds like you then you may be interested in a new gadget I recently ran across. It is called the LG Doubleplay™ and it features dual customizable touch screens. One 3.5-inch main display and one 2.0-inch sub display which operate independently or in tandem of each other. This allows you to complete multiple tasks at the same More >
Do Not Forget Your Meds
Dec 13th
As we age it seems as if we have to take more and more medications. It is hard to get around this fact even if you live a healthy lifestyle and take care of yourself. Some meds may be able to be skipped, if you must, while others should not be. Knowing this is very important if you plan to take your medications with you when you travel. It is important to plan ahead and have your medications filled when planning your trip. This is especially true if you are traveling around the holidays as many pharmacies may be closed More >
Protect Your Computer While You Travel

I run several businesses and like to take my laptop with me when I travel as most business people do. Even people who are vacationing or traveling for leisure take their laptops on their trips now. When traveling you must connect to unsecured networks in motels, coffee houses and restaurants. This fact makes your computer much more vulnerable to malware and viruses. My laptop contracted a virus a couple of years ago and it took me forever to get More >
Preparing for Holiday Travel
Dec 2nd
The Christmas and New Year holidays are just around corner which means a lot of people will be traveling to see friends and family. If you are planning to travel during the holidays by automobile then it is time to get it prepared before leaving for your trip. Make sure your automobile is in good working order and have normal maintenance completed before you leave. It is a good idea to change the oil and oil filter as well as having the engine tuned up. Make sure your tires are inflated to the proper pressure recommended by the manufacturer.
