In the states we call then clothes pins, in Canada most call them clothes pegs probably from the British background of Canada. Did you know they were first made and used in the 1700's? The Mr and Mrs Santa on the left were made...

I know at least a dozen friends who have had bariatric surgery or who are going through the process. One person went to the classes, talked to the psychiatrist and attended the support groups, and then changed her mind. Everyone...

While you are busy writing out Christmas cards and mailing them to friends and family, have you ever thought about how this custom started? It wasn't invented by an American, but by Sir Henry Cole in 1843 in the United Kingdom....

gaylesglimpses Usually I send inexpensive ones with a couple lines written inside. I'm thinking of creating Christmas postcards through Zazzle and sending those this year.

The idea that content is king has been floated to online writers for years. Now, it is critical that writers receive the message and adjust accordingly. Internet savvy users don't want to waste time on irrelevant articles or those...

gaylesglimpses Content comes first. The relationship is what makes people follow you on social media etc. So yes, I think it's a combination.

gaylesglimpses I could not be more in agreement. Now, to convince a few others and the internet will be better off.

gaylesglimpses @boiboing Me too. I also wonder if the making those post-surgery goals will happen, or is it going to be like catching the brass ring on the carousel. A few manage it, the rest don't.

gaylesglimpses It's probably wise to be leery. But yes, I sat down and counted heads to come up with that number. Doctors here are really pushing it. My surgeon isn't the exception.

gaylesglimpses I even wonder if it's a good thing even if you're extremely heavy. Looks like a bigger size could increase complications. That's just an outsider looking in though. I don't have a medical background.

gaylesglimpses I totally agree. You have to diet and exercise after the surgery and those are things that you can do anyway.

Earthquakes are a natural occurrence on this planet, and have been taking place since the dawn of this planet. There is a lot of discussion these days that we're seeing more and more earthquakes, and there is no shortages of...

gaylesglimpses It's not the device's fault if the patient doesn't know how to use it. The pens are very easy to use, and we were given a training pen to practice with. I can't see any excuse for a patient to not know how to use it. My daughters knew how to use it when they...

This seems to be quite a problem recently, and it sounds like it is just getting worse. People keep poisonous snakes, spiders, lizards, large cats (like cougars, for example), bears and other animals not normally thought of as...

gaylesglimpses @GardenGerty One of my pet peevs is that some people don't try to be responsible pet owners. To me that responsibility means choosing a pet wisely. "If it's born wild, it needs to stay wild" should be everyone's motto.

gaylesglimpses Good for you for not using it like that. It cost her a day of work she will have bills to pay because of it, but she is okay and that's what matters most. I'm grateful for that.

gaylesglimpses I had that happen with the smell of cleaners that restaurants use. The food absorbs the odor. Not cool.
