Projects PossibleA

For years I have been intrigued by the stars.  Last summer at the lake house we would have nights that would be so extremely clear and dark that the number of stars you could see were absolutely mesmerizing.   There were a couple of times that you could see the shadows of our arm of the [...]

As many of you know, WordPress is now out with their 2.5 version.  There are a number of plugins that I use that are NOT going to work so I thought now might be time to do a thorough review, clean up the old, make way for the new, reclassify things.   Call it Spring Cleaning [...]

Welcome to the March 23, 2008 edition of online auctions. This is the first edition of the Online Auction blog carnival.   For those of you not familiar with a blog carnival, think of it as a magazine related to a specific topic.  Authors will submit their posts/articles to the carnival and then an editor (me) [...]

Spring is arriving and with spring comes that annual ritual of spring cleaning.  You know what I’m talking about…dusting, vacuuming, washing and polishing like you do no other time of the year.  Some refer to it as a “deep cleaning”.  I like to refer to it as a waste of my time at that time [...]

When I consider House Refinancing I can’t help but ask myself if this is the right time to be doing this or if I should continue to wait in anticipation that the rates will continue to drop.  With the “R” word (recession) on everyone’s mind I look at where my mortgage and my second mortgage [...]
