Online Diamond Shopping – Scary?? – Doesn’t Have to Be!
Another post in my continuing series of Valentine day gift ideas….
As Valentine’s day approaches jewelry is always on the potential gift list for your significant other. The problem that I have always had with buying jewelry is dealing with the shops. With the influx in online shopping it is quite easy to find diamond jewelers [...]
Say What You Need to Say – Movie Review – Bucket List
The subject of death and dying is not a very pleasant subject to talk about. In the “Bucket List” our lead characters, played by Nicholson as the wealthy billionaire and Freeman as a family man and mechanic, face death head on when both are diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Through the course of the movie, these hospital [...]
Xobni – My Continuing Adventure!
I posted about my initial Xobni impressions a number of weeks ago. Recall that Xobni (zob-nee), inboX spelled backward, is a Microsoft Outlook plug-in that provides you with nearly instantaneous access to “the most important information in your email”. This message is a follow-up to that message and provides more insight on my continued use.
I think it [...]
Enough with the Snow! – Turn the Snow Machine Off!!!
Enough is enough! In the winters that I remember here in Spokane, WA this has got to be one of the snowiest winters on record. (perhaps I should check that) Again this morning we woke up to about 4 inches of new snow that we had to shovel from your walks and drives. Today wouldn’t [...]

Rookie Model Railroader – Where to begin?
I have had model railroads in the past (so maybe I’m not a true rookie) but they were limited to a 4×8 sheet of plywood, real simple layouts and I could put the thing away when I was finished with it. I’ve decided to revitalize the hobby and I am going to take over one [...]
Valentines Day is Coming – Are You Shopping Online?
The convenience of online shopping is something that I absolutely love, and as Valentines day approaches I will probably be looking at making some kind of a purchase for my wife on the Internet. There is a great website that offers online shopping coupons. CouponChief.com can provide you with a discount coupon for some of [...]
What Makes a "Dream Home"?
In case you haven’t heard it, HGTV is doing their annual Dream Home giveaway. This year’s home is located in the Florida Keys and frankly it isn’t my favorite house that HGTV has given away. However, I could certainly sell this house and build my “dream home” in the location I want with the [...]
Microsoft Certification – Got Yours?
I don’t have my Microsoft Certification but I have often wondered how I could accomplish certification training while still working. Online leaning opportunities seem to be the answer. QuickCert is one of the online companies that offers Microsoft Training. For an adult learning like me that likes to learn in many different ways their program [...]
