One Store is already on sale.. click Here!

I have decided to take a Break.. We are getting rid of our internet connections for awhile. We seem to be paying the internet bill then we end up calling them 1-3 times a day because its not working right so out Cell phone bill is off the wall too... We Can't justify paying so much money because they can't guarantee us when or IF the internet is going to work anymore. Not sure what has changed Because its really been bad the last 6 months, but before that... It was almost flawless. sometimes I feel they aren't being truthful about what is going on.. LIke they need more servers to carry all that bandwidth or something. ANYWAY!!! I am very sad.. But Erin applied for a new job... If he gets it we will be moving and we WILL get cable.. Then I will be back... Okay.. Loves and Hugs to all you that Have stopped by here. LOVE YOU ALL!

************************************Fact of the Day***********************************

TP-1890 Toilet Paper on a roll was introduced by the Scott Paper Company and quickly becomes the nation's leading producer of TP. Scott bought large rolls of paper from paper manufacturers and then converted them to become TP on a small roll. The TP was sold through intermediaries, private labelers and drug stores. Scott private labeled the wrappers and cut the paper according to the specification that each reseller wanted. Scott did not want to be associated with this Victorian era "unmentionable" product. The owners did not want their name on the product. The strategy worked and Scott expanded. Scott had over 2,000 reselling customers.

************************************Fact of the Day***********************************

1883 Sulfate pulping process makes Kraft Paper- first made by German inventor Carl Dahl. He discovered that adding sodium sulfate to the caustic soda pulping process produced a very strong pulp. This was called the Kraft process. Kraft means strong in German. During the early 1900's the Kraft process became the most important pulping process. Kraft paper makes paper bags and heavy wrapping. The kraft process had several distinct advantages: the chemicals used to dissolve the lignin were recoverable and tremendous amounts of energy were produced during the recovery process, and the process could pulp pine trees, a predominant forest species in the United States. The Kraft process allowed the United States to become a major producer of paper products

2008-02-06T12:50:00.000-06:00

Good Morning Everyone :) Hope everything going well for all of you. :) The snow finally has stopped.. Curtis Got out of school early yesterday and he had a late start this morning... so the snow has been pain!!! LOL :)

I was going to bring the topics of Politics.. but I wont... I will say however that Mrs. Clinton is not a very nice person... EVERY time I hear her talk she is BASHING Bush.. and then I have to turn it off.. I think if you are a public figure and have as big a name as she has.. then she is only teaching kids and everyone that its okay to poke fun at others and ridicule people for thier mistakes or actions.. I guess I was raised to bite your tounge and focus on peoples positives. I wouldn't let my kids watch behavior like that on TV or from other people... I definately wouldn't let my kids watch it on TV. I want my kids to learn better values than that...

OHHH CRAP.... I have one more point to say now. LMAO!!! I was thinking.... Im not rich... Im not poor either.. im in the moderate in between.. LOL But.. they, meaning all candidates, spend MILLIONS AND MILLIONS on thier campaigns....... Can I ask??? WHERE would this money better be used??? Helping the POOR? the HOMELESS? BATTERED WIVES? The LESS FORTUNATE??? If there is a candidate that spends MORE On these things... and LESS on the campaign.. I will vote for them before anyone else... THEY truly care for our Well Being...

OHHHHHHKAAAAYYY off my soap box... I am NOT into politics.. and Mostly because of the reasons stated above... I can't stand any of it... Ive said it before and I will say it again.. I would rather be on a mountaintop cutting my own wood for heat, reading a book for entertainment, growing my own food in my garden, Secluded from EVERYTHING.... LOL :) Someday... Someday... :)

OHHHH I have some new stuff out.. Almost forgot LMAO!!! :) You can click the Images to be taken to the store :)

Huge Hugs to everyone :) and I hope you have an AMAZING day!!! :)

Hello again :) I Seriously dont have much to say.. connection was so crappy yesterday with our blizzard like conditions.... but Its better now.. YAY:) but Im not going to be around today..My CT is prolly Missing me now and I know SHELL IS!! :) HI SHELL:) but have some errands to run today.. and things to do NOT at my computer. :( too bad we can't have those computer/Internet Glasses(sunglasses) and we could be doing things while doing our errands LOL! That seriously would be so cool! HAHA:)

Curtis is back and at school and is Happy about that.. OHHHH I can't believe I almost forgot to tell you... Beans/Clint Has had a dry diaper in the morning for the last 5 days now!!! HOW AWESOME!! I didn't figure he would get the hang of that yet since he still sleeps in the crib. He is only 2 after all. But he has it figured out.. and there have been no poopy messes in the house either.. so I think he has had a light bulb moment and got it all figured out! :) Smart little turd! :)
Okay.. so Now.. I told Erin we will keep the diapers on him for a little while longer.. Because I am hoping its not just the allergy meds the doc had him on... Ya know.. because those meds have a tendency to Dry up EVERYTHING not just the nose LOL

Okay gotta get the kids ready to jet ;) HUGS!!!!
