WebHostingBuzz

A good New Year’s Resolution to adhere to these days is to try and make a better effort to become as “green” as humanly possible. Living on a farm most of my life I have learned many ways to help our Mother Earth in various ways. The good lord knows that we have been into recycling before it was the “in” thing to do. We have always tried hard to replace anything that we have taken from the land and have been open to ideas and suggestions.

One thing that we can all do is give our business to companies that are doing their part in the “green movement”. Did you know that there are website hosting companies that are making a huge effort and are doing wonderful things in order to participate in these practices. WebHosting Buzz is doing a tremendous job with their efforts. You can read more about them here at http://www.webhostingfan.com/reviews/webhostingbuzz-web-hosting-review/. 

I’d like to really encourage as many folks as possible to check this out and see if they would be willing to switch over to a web host that is doing things such as WebHostingBuzz is doing. You can find reviews and ratings as well as a lot more information on a ton of web hostings at webhostingfan.com.

I thought streaking was outdated

I was amused to read in the BBC website that a polo match that was attended by Prince Charles was interrupted by three male streakers.  I thought that streaking was long out of style!  I haven’t heard of any streakers recently in the USA!  I wonder if streaking is a frequent occurrence in other parts of the world?

What’s Wrong With This?

I got this in an email today and after much thought I decided to go ahead and place it here on my blog.

“Someone please tell me what the HELL’s wrong with all the people that run this country!!!!!!

We’re “broke” & can’t help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,??????????? In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, and Turkey. And now Pakistan…..home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!! Our retired seniors living on a ‘fixed income’ receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$’s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!

We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.

AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without ‘needed’ meds, and mentally ill without treatment -etc, etc.

YET…………………

They have a ‘Benefit’ for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.

 Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave ‘US’ the same support they give to other countries.”

A Touching Nativity Scene To Ponder

A Nativity Scene was erected in a church yard last weekend, sometime during the night some folks came across this scene.

An abandoned dog was looking for a comfortable, protected place to sleep. He chose baby Jesus as his comfort. No one had the heart to send him away so he was there all night.

Don’t you agree that we should all have the good sense of this dog and curl up in Jesus’ lap from time to time.

This is too sweet not to share and no one mentioned that the dog breed is a “shepherd!”

A thank you to my sister for sending this to me last night!

The 2010 National Geographic Photo Contest

National Geographic has always been known for their great photographs. I’m glad that I ran across this photo on Yahoo. Most of us have a soft spot for dolphins and this photo depicts the seriousness of what man’s trash is doing to so much of our wildlife.

Dolphin alert?- The archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil is considered a wildlife sanctuary, but today, even in this isolated archipelago dolphinsare victims of the bad habits of consumption.

Too Pooped To Pop

I have a good friend that is confirmed bachelor just as I am. But where I am pretty quiet and laid back he is pretty wild and crazy and considers himself to be one of the best pick up artist in town. Me, I don’t even know how to text a girl with a pick up line and not sound like a complete idiot much less looking at one right in the eye and spewing out some outrageously witty line in an attempt to get her undivided attention.

I generally just go up and introduce myself, offer to buy her a drink (if at a bar) and hope that my smile gets to her in a positive way in an attempt to hook up with nice and interesting female. Not that I have a lot of time to spend bar hopping these days. There is always so much work to be done around here, come night time I’m usually wiped out and not in any mood to clean up, dress up and go up town for an evening out on the town. A quick dinner and a nice hot shower is more my speed then an hour or so on the computer before kicking back on the sofa for some television, if I can find something decent to watch, works out well for this tired and lonely puppy.

LA Ink

Kat is a trip on the television series “LA Ink”  this isn’t the type of show that I would normally watch, but for some reason I keep ending up watching LA Ink here and there. It is a drama filled night time soap opera laced with leather and tattoos and foul language and some really freakie people!

Speaking of Schools

Today is the first day of school for the kids in our county. I only know because I could hear and see the big yellow school buses going by early this morning. I was all ready up and about, so they didn’t wake me up, but man are those things loud!

Face Book

I’m planning on taking some time this weekend and creating a Face Book account. Face Book seems to be the wave of the future, I mean every one and I mean every one is talking about it. There just doesn’t seem to be any way around it. If you can’t beat them join them, right?

School Days

It seems that they are starting school earlier and earlier each year. When I used to go to school it was always the day after Labor Day. But I’ve spoken with many parents who are telling me that their kids have all ready started school or are about too in the next week or two.

I think the way that they did it when I was going to school made more sense. It was constant and consistent, which made vacation plans an easier task to tackle.
