Dr.s and Prescriptions

thebeaddoodler @thebeaddoodler (4262) • Lubbock, Texas 4 Dec 15

Change of Pace

thebeaddoodler @thebeaddoodler (4262) • Lubbock, Texas 6 Sep 15

Well since my beading and illustrating a tutorial are going nowhere fast: bead a round, illustrate it, try to bead the next round, but it won't work with the previous round, rip it out, erase the illustration, I've taken a break...

thebeaddoodler @thebeaddoodler (4262) • Lubbock, Texas 25 Aug 15

Does your Credit Card statement look different this month?

thebeaddoodler @thebeaddoodler (4262) • Lubbock, Texas 17 Mar 10

Mine sure does. It's not a bad thing in my case. My interest rate didn't go up, my minimum payment didn't go up, but there's a new section on the front page titled Payment Information. I think some of this might have been on the...

thebeaddoodler @thebeaddoodler (4262) • Lubbock, Texas 16 Mar 10

It seems that everywhere you look you're seeing fast food restaurants advertising healthy food or diet food in order to entice the already obese nation to keep eating their fast foods. Are these "healthy" meals really healthy?...

Doesn't the press have anything better to do?

thebeaddoodler @thebeaddoodler (4262) • Lubbock, Texas 28 Feb 10

When I logged in to my google account I saw a headline "Is Obama Still Smoking" right under one about the Chilian earthquake. Doesn't the press have better things to do than snoop around his medical check-ups and report such...

Need some help with "friends"

thebeaddoodler @thebeaddoodler (4262) • Lubbock, Texas 5 Jan 10

There used to be a tab or option beside friends names where you could delete them. I've looked in my profile and in my "my friends" tab and can't find that option any more. Has it been removed or am I just not remembering where it...

Hen and Chicks in Bloom!

thebeaddoodler @thebeaddoodler (4262) • Lubbock, Texas 14 Jul 09

I've seen Hen and Chicks plants all my life and they've always fascinated me the way they propagate. A few years ago I bought a start of hen and chicks in a 6 inch pot. They were green with a little red tinge along the edges which...

thebeaddoodler @thebeaddoodler (4262) • Lubbock, Texas 7 Jul 09

I enjoy taking pictures of my hand beaded jewelry and using a warp brush in my photo shop program to make designs out of them. Oddly enough, when I start warping a picture I nearly always see a face in it, so I started...

thebeaddoodler @thebeaddoodler (4262) • Lubbock, Texas 15 Jun 09

For weeks I've been hearing a bird that sounds like a kite fussing at my cat. Kites are known to be very aggressive and territorial and have even attacked people walking across the Texas Tech campus, so I was a little worried...
