You know, at first I was fine with PNC Bank taking over National City when I thought it didn’t mean very much hassle for me.  But now, First Niagara has bought 57 National City branches in Western Pa.  No big deal right?  WRONG!!!!

Firefox Rocks My World!

August 26, 2009 0 comments

I must say that I LOVE Firefox!  For years, I had been an IE user who was clueless to anything else.  Plus a little afraid to try anything else, I’ll admit.  But once I started working online, I was forced to use Firefox for some business applications.  That’s when the love affair began.  That’s just between you and I though, don’t tell my husband.  He gets a little jealous sometimes. Why do I love thee? [...]

Any woman who wears earrings knows how frustrating it can be to dig through your jewelry box trying to find the match to the earrings you want to wear.  You find one and it’s like the match wants to play hide and seek.  Sometimes I search and search and give up when I find two others that match instead.

Handmade Electronic Reader Carrying Bags

August 15, 2009 0 comments

I’m intrigued by electronic readers such as Kindle and have wanted one for some time now.  If it wasn’t for the lofty price, I’d already have one. I go through about a book a week, so an electronic reader would eliminate my many piles of read books lying around.  Hmm, maybe I can convince Santa to bring me one this year.
