In a Van Down by the River

First, I would like to take this opportunity to announce the winner of the Cascadian Farm "Live Green Together" Giveaway. Through the miracle of modern technology and the wonder of a random number generator, the winner is:

Cheryl F. {The Lucky Ladybug}.

Congratulations to Cheryl and thank you all for entering.


I had to take my little tax deductions to their school for bit of state-mandated testing this week and while I was sitting in the car doing crossword puzzles (for over 2 ½ hours), I happened to look up and notice an interesting site. Just there, way across the parking lot was...

Cascadian Farm "Live Green Together" Giveaway

The simple act of unplugging electronics when you aren’t using them not only reduces energy, but could save you as much as 10 percent on your electric bill. You may be asking why this can save energy? Even though your toaster, microwave, coffeemaker, and television are turned off, they still draw a small amount of electricity in order to maintain their internal memories, this is called a Phantom Load.

Hacked Gmail Accounts

Two of my Blogger friends have had their Gmail accounts hacked today. I do have a Gmail account, but I never use it. If you receive ANY Gmails addressed from me please DO NOT open any links and let me know, so I can report it. Thank you

My French Fry Dip

As you may or may not know, I like to make our own home-made fries (yep, another shameless recipe link) and I can think of nothing better to go with those fries, than a good dip. With this in mind, I decided to experiment with a dip I found over at Super Mommy to the Rescue (by the way, I stole the photo from Super Mommy, because her picture turned out a lot better than mine). Well, to the great shock and disbelief of my wife, I actually kept track of what and how much I added, so I am able to share this recipe with you. Although, we used this batch for the fries, this dip can be easily paired with chips or any veggies of your choice.

Putting it together...

Did you Know

Due to the current financial climate, I have laid-off my muse and as a result, I cannot think of anything to write about. So, I would like to share something that my daughter's high school history teacher used in her class yesterday. I have to admit that I was surprised by what I learned. Oh, the music's good, too.

How to Use Jump Breaks in Blogger

Have you ever gone to a site and seen those "Read More-->>>" links? Well, this is going to tell you how to put these in your posts. These jump breaks are very popular in SEO circles as a way of getting your visitors to click-through to an interior page on your site. However, I plan to use them to help speed-up the loading of my main page. What I'm planning on doing is increasing the number of posts that appear on the main page, but I really don't want to increase the loading time of the page. This being said, I plan to add these little breaks to my older posts; thereby, giving more exposure to my posts, while not compromising the load time.

Taking the First Step Toward Financial Freedom

If you are one of the millions who are struggling to get out of debt and currently live from paycheck to paycheck, you might be interested in knowing that there is something you can do to help ease the pain and get you back on the right track to reclaiming your life. It is a simple thing to say, but can be a very difficult thing to do and that is: try and get $500.00 in savings.

A New Template

Well, if you're viewing this, then you are seeing what my new template looks like. I know, it looks basically the same as the last one, but what can I say, I'm not artistic. Anyway, for the past several days, I've been working to customize it for my site, which meant coding it so it looks the same in IE as it does in every other browser out there.

How to Make your Blog Mobile-Friendly

For the past several weeks, I have been working on a new template that will hopefully make my site load faster. As a result, I have also been searching for ways to make my site more user-friendly and the one thing that never even entered my mind before today was: mobile users. With this thought in the back of my mind, I tried to find a place where I could test my site and see what it would look like on a mobile phone. Well, what I found was not very good and to sum up my viewing experience...yuck!

Yum Yum is No Dum Dum

This is where Yum Yum spends her mornings. She has a heated seat while watching birdie TV.



Editor's note: I just recently watched Night at the Museum, so please forgive the "dum dum" reference.
