This was another movie I wasn’t sure about, I had not seen the preview, I decided to rent it based on the cover at the video store. It is however, one I would highly recommend renting. It was a well done story and it was not overly predictable. It’s a chick flick though so some of the guys might not enjoy it as much as I did. It does have some tissue moments…

If you were as an example, planning a wedding or re doing your wedding vows on a beach, say in Florida, then it could come in handy having the name of at least one Naples photographer, since that is a popular beach area. We are coming up on ten years of marriage and our ceremony was a very simple one in front of a judge, so I have to admit at times I’ve thought about wanting to do something a bit different, though I’d probably pick New Orleans over Florida, we have had some good times near the Naples area as well, which is why it’s on my “list of dream places.”

I wasn’t sure if I was going to like Religulous, I saw a preview of it on another movie, and my one daughter wanted to rent it, so we rented it last night. It was okay, it basically bashed religion much more than the preview let on and there were not as many moments of humor as I thought.

We went from cooler weather to a few days of miserable heat here that made looking at websites that focus on Outer Banks rentals more tempting than even on a winter day. I could of course pretend that the three foot kiddy pool in our backyard is an ocean, with a random breeze hitting me as I tried to float on a raft being an ocean breeze. Until I open my eyes…Then reality quickly hits…

I wanted to try this out here before I put it on my other blog. So for example if I wanted to blog about a movie I just got done watching, “The Lucky Ones” I should be able to find and share content easily using Apture.

Let’s see…I found a video clip for the movie, now let’s see if I can find an article on “The Lucky Ones“…Now let’s see if I can find an image...

Now to hit post and see how it all works…

When you consider this article, on mommy bloggers and I look at how many visitors I get to my one main political blog? Which is triple what is stated one of the consumer blogs get, I wonder at times. There are probably less hassles, less threats and it appears to be more lucrative. So for those of you considering starting to blog? You might want to think consumer as opposed to candidates.

It can be hard enough to pick which diet works for you, there are so many different ones to decide from, and then there is the additional decision as to diet pills or other diet products that have varying claims as well as results for those trying to lose weight. There are hundreds of different diet pills on the market which can make reading diet pills review websites a recommended starting point. While most diets and diet products state you should talk with your health care professional before starting a weight loss program, sometimes I wonder how many people actually take this important step. You can get important advice and tips…

I somewhat expected this movie to be about racing, I’m not going to totally give it away, beyond recommending the movie and watching the trailer. Which I hadn’t watched it before we rented it last night. I will state though that the ending made me cry…

Last night my second youngest daughter and I had a “movie night” where we watched several movies we rented from the video store. One of the ones I enjoyed the most was the one I least expected to enjoy. If you have not watched Bedtime Stories yet? I recommend watching the trailer and the movie…

There are a variety of different online resources that can help provide information on social security disability claims. Advice on claims and assistance in making claims is also easily found online with many companies offering a free evaluation, which I always recommend taking advantage of before you agree and I also recommend looking at the fees that are charged before you agree. If a site is not willing to share with you the fees up front? Think twice…

Years ago certain forms of cancer had very few treatments available, as technology has advanced now more than ever before cancer, especially if diagnosed early does not necessarily mean a death sentence. Mesothelioma treatment is one of these cancers that has seen improved medical advancement compared to years ago, and people are more aware now of the dangers of asbestos which also helps reduce new cases of this form of cancer. It’s another advantage of the internet, where people are able to search for different forms of treatment and information than was also possible years ago…

Having watched the original, The live and times of Harvey Milk I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy watching the semi-remake that had Sean Penn playing Harvey Milk. It was better than I expected and you can decide for yourself, you can watch the original at the above link and then rent the newer version…From a historical standpoint, I’m glad that my 14 year old watched it with me.

I’ve always believed that one of best appetite suppressant that is out there is water. Yet there are other ones out there that do last longer than water and probably don’t result in creating more trips to the bathroom (smile). I actually have the opposite problem, I have to remember to eat rather than try to suppress my appetite, which creates days like today when I pay for not following what I am supposed to as far as eating several small meals a day and then my Diverticulitis flares up and I end up in pain and back on the jello again.

Those of you who have followed my tale of woe related to having to have a kitty litter box in my bedroom since one cat is being a territorial monster and not letting one use the boxes in the basement can only imagine my horror that three of the five cats now prefer the box in my bedroom. This means lots of scooping and more odor than I’d like to have in my bedroom. So, I decided to buy this new thing from Renuzit called “Crystal Elements” and the smell was overpowering, to the point I had to temporarily remove it from my bedroom. I was actually coughing. Which was the total opposite of what this person wrote they experienced. They complained there was no odor and frankly with as strong as the scent was? I can’t imagine putting it in a bathroom, at least not the first few days.

I discovered too late I could have saved $3.00 instead of $1.00…

It seems like just yesterday it was my own bunch having their first birthday, then my first granddaughter and now before I know it? It will be time for my second granddaughter to get close enough to her first birthday where the whole planning of the party begins from finding just the right first birthday invitation to the rest of the theme. Though personally, after having had so many first birthdays, they really are for the adults since I have not yet had one of mine remember any of their first or second birthdays. A few claim to remember their third…

Last night the tooth pain I’ve been dealing with made me not able to sleep, so having finished my Star Trek watching I turned to Rocky…Below is the trailer from the original. Last night I watched one, two, three and half of four before I finally fell asleep which means tonight? I’ll finish that and then part five.

Technology has made it possible for people who have some land to be able to profit from it in ways that they probably would have never imagined years ago. In many areas this is happening with wind turbines where those who have one on their property are paid a nice amount to not only have the turbine there as well as monthly residuals. There are also opportunities for people to have a cell tower on their properties as well. That’s also another way some have made a small profit from land they are not using for other purposes.

While everyone is focusing on the new Star Trek, I’ve been watching my old Star Trek videos, last night was “The Undiscovered Country”. The trailer is below for those who want to view it. Also of interest on a similar thought train as the earlier shared Newsweek article is this article by Chris Bowers, Star Trek As Progressive Mythology.

This was last nights viewing, the original “Star Trek the movie” not the one done in 2009. I have never been a fan of the whole new generation, to me the only enjoyable Star Trek was the original series then the movies.

What was interesting is just a few moments ago I found this Newsweek article, Has Star Trek Lost Its Moral Relevance? To which I would respond….Yes…

You might think that one of the most asked questions I get is in relation to blogging, and in a way it is but I get many more questions related to how to get items from cameras or other devices using sd flash memory than I do when it comes to actual blogging software. I’ve even had trouble with my own computer, in theory the smart media is supposed to go directly into the computer but the only way I have been able to successfully upload the pictures is to hook up my camera through the USB cord directly to the computer. Yet, on my laptop the cards will easily insert and be recognized. I learned the hard way when the computer asks to “format the disk” you’ll lose the pictures or video you had on it…Is there probably a solution to prevent it? Yes, format the disk before you use it, but the work around is simple, just upload directly from the camera.
