It's darn hot this morning when i leave house to attend an event. Suddenly it becomes cloudy and rain shower starts pouring by noon. I am happy when the wind blows a little colder...so cool for my rashes (i like it) I'm back...

verabear The drainage systems in your area probably needs cleaning, as is ours. I hope you have a good day too. And I also hope that the weather stays calm - breezy and cool but not too much rain :)

I'm not being uber-nationalistic here, am I? Maybe it's just me, but I find it really annoying to hear Filipino kids who speak in straight English complete with accent. OK, so maybe most of them have been brought up to speak...

verabear I agree - we should be annoyed at those insisting on using the language despite the wrong grammar and incorrect pronunciation/enunciation. Sometimes I'd like to reach out and correct them! Haha :)

I started a dream journal not too long ago. I have always been interested in dreams and dream interpretation, but I had just never really written it down before. I found a site called dreammoods.com. It is a really cool site. You...

verabear I like the way you put it - dreams helping us sort things out. Just last night I dreamt about my family having to move to a new house secret. I already forgot the details or the reasons why, but we had to move really fast. Anyhoo. Thanks for a nice...

Hi everyone! I just shopped my heart out on Photojojo on photography-related items and via USPS tracking saw that the order has left the US on November 21. Does anyone have shipping experience with them? How long did it take for...

verabear Thank you for your response. I already paid for the shipping via the store I bought from, I just need to know how long it will take to get here because I am so eager to get my hands on the goodies! hehe :)

I just cannot believe it! I called K-mart just now to see if we could extend our lay-away til the 3rd just as we had discussed with the Layaway Department when we set it up back the beginning of November. We told them we only get...

verabear I don't really know how layaway plans work but I do hope that the manager sorts things out for you and you either get the extension or get your money back. I'm guessing that as long as the item is not too much "in demand" that they are running low on stocks,...

My cooking & baking skills are not something I am proud of. I tried doing some flans for Christmas, and it was disaster! I gave up! I just contended myself with no-bake, no cook goodies. I tried printing recipes I got from the...

verabear Perhaps the most important tip I ever got about baking was to be careful with measurements. It's like a chemical equation that needs to be followed :) When you find a recipe you like, read through it carefully and note the ingredients you need. Prepare them...

I ordered forty books off of alibris today as a spree that my husband and I usually have ever so often. forty books will keep me occupied for awhile. I tried to get them in a series, and tried not to spend more then $2.00 on each...

verabear Yes, we can buy from Amazon and ship here, but it is way too expensive. What I do is order what I want, have it shipped free to an uncle (or a friend) in the US who I know will be coming home soon. And patiently wait for them to arrive. But that isn't always...

Do you love to shop? Is every day another retail opportunity? I was thinking to my self as I bought some groceries that it is so very easy to spend money, but much harder to make it. I have read about people that have accumulated...

verabear Haha,true. But I'm in no danger of that. I only stay away from the shopping bits, not the eating. We can still order in after all. :)

I am so excited to get my hands on an iPad. I don't own and iTouch, iPhone, and neither do I have a netbook. So the iPad will be all three for me, ok except for the phone part :) I've heard how a lot of people have enjoyed Plants...

verabear Thank you so much for recommending these two apps, they sound like fun! I'll definitely check them out once I get my iPad! :)

verabear I think that his problem is that, with the severe paycut he suffered, he may not be able to sustain his way of living. Also, maybe unbeknownst to us, he actually is supporting other people and that uses up his wealth too. Maybe he feels that he's been pushed...

I recently bought a new pair of shoes - with heels that are higher than any other pair I've owned. I wore it to my friend's wedding yesterday. Because of that, my feet were hurting so much at the reception that I couldn't go...

verabear Yes, I do think practice is the key for me. And those toe cushions might be worth a try, they're not costly anyway. Thanks for commenting Torunn :)

verabear I'd have to agree with you there. People always seem to loosen up nicely when there's dancing involved. The wedding I just attended had some dancing, the cousins of the groom really prepared a fun dance for the couple and then everyone joined in after. Thanks...

verabear I only really got those shoes for the wedding. I got this nice dress and none of my shoes looked good with it. I'll try those soft gel thingies you mentioned for next time. Thanks! :)

verabear Hmm a beach wedding would be nice, or even just the reception. I'm afraid that might be way out of my budget, but we'll see... I've seen a couple get married at a resort and there were maybe about twenty or so guests only. If we could trim down our guest list,...
