Style & Beauty > Accessories Coach handbags are worth the money: 17 of 27
Coach handbags are definitely worth the money! This isn't a style preference, it's just one of the best and longest lasting handbag you can buy. There's nothing like the smell of a new leather bag. Some people would call it the smell of money! I call it the smell of quality. Let me tell you why. Handbags go through a lot dur... More..
Style & Beauty > Hair Color & Coloring Should you go gray naturally or dye your hair as you age?: 46 of 73
I didn't let my hair go gray naturally and I'm beginning to regret it. My mother went gray and it was always beautiful. People admired her salt and pepper hair in her fifties and as she aged it turned a gorgeous white, shiny and unique without any rinses or treatments to help make it look it's best. It was just really, reall... More..
Hobbies & Games > Antiques & Collecting (Other) Sea glass: Gems from junk: 4 of 6
As a child living along the Long Island Sound, we took beach glass for granted. It was abundant all along the shore of the Sound, which is fed by the Atlantic Ocean. We would collect beach glass, also known as sea glass, and put it in empty mayonnaise jars and our moms would empty them out at the end of the summer. Like the ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Cross-country move: 2 of 3
Sigh. I'm picking up my life and moving it over 1600 miles away! Boxes. Wow, so many boxes. I found out something this week. I'm a hoarder. Well, I was a hoarder. I'm swearing off hording right this very minute. Family. The small amount of what's left I will miss so much. You don't get to choose your family but somehow they ... More..
Computers & Technology > Phone Technologies & Issues The negative side of text messaging: 9 of 13
Text messaging was intended to be a good thing. After all, it's quick, relatively cheap, and private. On a train for instance, text messaging isn't nearly as annoying as talking on your cell phone. However, there is enough negative to text messaging that it warrants pointing it out. The most important negative to text messag... More..
Hobbies & Games > Video Game Reviews Video game reviews: Second Life (secondlife.com): 7 of 10
I started online gaming with a 3 year stint in an easy to master role playing game called The Sims Online. Many of us who played there moved on to a more sophisticated but similar game, Second Life. The major difference between Second Life and other online role-playing games is that all the content is produced/created by the... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: What the summer solstice means to me: 7 of 10
The summer solstice is the beginning of my favorite time of year. Summer solstice falls on June 21, often called the longest day of the year because that is the day the sun is supposed to hang still for the longest period in the sky than any other day. The word solstice comes from a latin word meaning "sun stand still." What... More..
Arts & Humanities > US History (Other) The origin of Flag Day: 10 of 14
Today is Flag Day, June 14th, a national holiday. It's surprising how many citizens of our country don't know why or how we came about to celebrate Flag Day in the United States. If you should ask the average person, they will probably say something like, "It's to celebrate the flag." Well, yes it is. However, the history an... More..
Entertainment > TV Show Reviews TV show reviews: Dancing with the Stars (Season 5): 5 of 7
Survivor, Apprentice, The Bachelor, Big Brother, American Idol, Fear Factor, The Next Supermodel (or whatever it's called), the television is full of reality shows, all of them with some entertainment value, but not much if you ask me. I mean really, they may contain a few chuckles and suspense but all that suffering drives ... More..
Celebrations & Holidays > Mother's Day & Father's Day Why the best Father's Day gifts aren't the most expensive: 32 of 44
The best Father's Day gifts aren't the most expensive but they do take some thought and effort, as well as time. Expensive audio equipment, a fancy watch, a large flat screen tv or a barbeque grill are really nice gifts but impersonal and don't last forever. Ties, shirts, coffee mugs, gag gifts, how many of those does a Fath... More..
