Words to Live By

I’ll never forget the very first wedding I attended as a tween, the father of the bride made a toast to the bride and groom and I’ll always remember it. It’s an Irish blessing that I’ve always loved, and I use it when I have to make a toast, such as at weddings and even company events:

“May you always have walls for the winds,

a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,

laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,

and all your heart might desire.”

Good words to live by, wouldn’t you say!

Keeping Up With the Times

Find a match online is the way to go these days if you are looking for a partner in life. There are many dating and matchmaking sites available and it’s good that there are options out there with this in mind. A good online dating review site can be found at primedatingsites.com, they have taken the time to check out many of the dating sites and give you an insight to what many of them have to offer.

We have all heard of eHarmony.com, but there are plenty of other dating sites that are available out there that haven’t done all the marketing that eHarmony has done on TV. Yahoo Personals is well known, well because it’s Yahoo, but to see other services one only has to go to this review site to find detailed information on American Singles, Date.com, Match.com, Friend Finder and numerous others as well.

With so many online dating sites available it would be wise to check and see what you possibly could be getting into, I know I would if I ever went that route. Times are a changing and you need to keep up with the times, safely and using your head and common sense.

Sad News Just Keeps Coming

First we hear about Ed McMahon, not too shocking since he was getting up there in age and hasn’t been in the best of health lately. Then we hear about Farrah Fawcett fight with cancer that finally ended with her passing, hopefully in peace. When it was announced about Michael Jackson’s sudden demise and Farrah’s story was put on the back burner. And now Billy Mays has left this world due to a heart attack. These are all sad stories to hear and read about and I hope that we won’t be experiencing any more until we are able to digest all that has happened in the last few weeks.

That Time of Year

When I was on the back porch smoking a cigarette I noticed several fire flies out and about for the first time this spring! Each year they some how manage to bring a smile to my face and I find myself entranced with them time and time again!  One of life’s few simple pleasures.

Pass It Along, It’s All Good!

I honestly thought I knew pretty much all there is about the different web hosting companies that are out there for us to choose from. But I recently stumbled onto a site, webhostinggeeks.com, that has a great amount of information concerning the many dedicated server web hosting” sites and I found that they have put together a list of 7 different  “Green Web Hosting Providers” that are eco-friendly and doing what they can to save our mother earth, now how cool is that?

These 7 listed providers use renewable and alternative energy, as well as recycling waste, the planting of trees, and they also purchase RECs in order to power their data centers, which I think are all great ways to make a difference in our soon to be maxed out world.

 Ireally have to respect these companies and I would encourage anyone to check this site out to find more information on them. The company that comes in as Number One in the list of 7 is SuperGreen, they have it listed as the most Eco-Friendly Host, with the provider coming in as Number Seven being GoodAvocado, with the boasting of being a wind powered hosting.

Pass it along, it’s all good!

Another School Year Comes To An End

Man where did this year go already? I can’t believe it’s almost time for school to be out. My kid goes to a middle school that requires them to wear uniforms. Not like the Catholic School type uniform. They wear a polo type shirt tucked in (dark or medium green for 6th grade, dark or medium blue for 7th grade and red or burgundy for 8th grade) with khaki or black pants or finger tip length shorts. Girls can wear capri’s or skirts too.

I grew up in the generation that fought like a dog just to get to wear pants to school and then it was only under our dresses IF you walked to school but then you had to take them off when you got there. It took us a long time to get to wear our blue jeans to school. Part of me still wants to fight the ‘uniform’ thing but the one thing I like about it is all the kids are equal at school. No one has any better than the other does so there’s less looking down your nose at the kid that can’t afford the nicer clothes. That I think is great.
