Did you know about Lycos Cinema?
I got an email saying that they are showcasing all the old favorite Saturday morning cartoons. The ones from the "good old days" like Rocky & Bullwinkle, Mr. Magoo and Felix the Cat. To enter the cinema, you need to download Adobe Flash Player 9 (you will get the prompt if you need to do this.) After watching, you can download the cartoon to post onto your blog to share with others.

Did You Know The End of the Year is a Great Time to Make Car Donations?
Did you know the end of the year is a great time to make car donations?
Every year, hundreds of people donate their unwanted cars. This helps you by eliminating the hassle of dealing with trying to sell, taking phone calls, the paper work and time involved. You can arrange to have your car towed, the paper work taken car of and you will receive a tax deduction, all while helping out those in need. Your donated car will be used to help someone who may be a single mother, orphans, homeless, teen or adult rehab, prison reform or food distribution. Giving the gift of your old car can help you give a much needed gift at this time of year.

Did You Know About Dickens On The Strand?
Did you know about Dickens On The Strand ?
Each year in Galveston, TX, the first weekend after the end of hurricane season marks a special tradition, now in its 34th year. The historical district known as The Strand is turned into a replica of Victorian England, as one might read about in one of Charles Dickens' novels. This is the weekend to celebrate a Victorian Christmas by the sea.
The Strand area comes alive with carolers, entertainment, shows, choirs and machine-generated snow. Festival goers can revel in the coolness of the air (mildly cool) and celebrate another season of holidays.
Dickens on the Strand has become a favorite of locals and visitors from all over the world. The festival has been called one of the "100 Most Fun Places to Be In The World". It has also been noted as one of the "Top 100 Festivals in North America" and one of the "Top Ten Festivals in the State."

Did You Know It May be Time to Detox?
Did you know it may be time to detox?
Well, I will at least wait until after the New Year if I do decide to do a cleanse. It has been a while since I've done one. "They" say you should do one every quarter, as the seasons change to keep your body healthy and balanced and clear of toxins. I have not tried a colon cleanse before. I am not sure what method I will employ when I am ready to do it again.

Did You Know How To Make Apple Candle Holders?
Did you know how to make apple candle holders?
Here is another very simple craft to do for a lovely table decoration. Try to choose apples that are "even" on the bottom so they will stand up easily. Remove the core from the apple. Insert a sprig or two of mint leaves. Add a sprig or two of rosemary. Then insert the candle into the hole.

Are you looking for new furniture for your holiday entertaining? I have thought for years that we would be looking for a new couch soon. We bought ours before our son was born fifteen years ago and it is looking pretty worn. I think I am going to want a leather sectional for my next sofa.

Did You Know How to Make A Simple Christmas Candle Craft?
Did you know how to make a simple Christmas candle craft?
I was looking for easy and quick Christmas projects to work on with my nephews. I came across an idea similar to this one. I revamped it a bit to fit what we had and it turned out nice and was quick and easy. These were super easy for my six and seven year old nephews to put together. We started with a fat round candle. Then they placed a large rubber band around it. In between the rubber band and the candle, they slid in mini candy canes (individually wrapped). Last, we covered the rubber band with holographic tape. It made a super cute decoration and is quick and easy to put together. You could vary the look by using different colored candles, using peppermint sticks or other candies, or cinnamon sticks. If you can't find the holographic tape ( I just happened upon it!) using a variety of ribbons will help vary the looks of the candles. These would make great teacher gifts!

Did You Know How to Make An Arctic Garden?
Did you know how to make an arctic garden?
This is a great way to celebrate the winter season. It is simple to do and uses household supplies, though not all are easy to find. It is amazing how quickly the crystals start to grow.
In a small aluminum pan, place three pieces of charcoal. Stir together a mixture of 6 Tablespoons of water, 6 Tablespoons of laundry bluing, 6 Tablespoons of salt, and 1 Tablespoon of ammonia. Pour over the pieces of charcoal, covering well. The crystals will start growing very quickly and will continue to grow for almost two weeks.

Did You Know About the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Wall?
Did you know about the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Wall?
I watched a short clip about the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Wall this morning. I have been blessed to stand in front of this wall of honor, as well as see the traveling replica. Both are very sobering. It was very interesting to see this memorial explained to kids, and to also see an interview with the architect who designed it.
Maya Lin designed the memorial wall with much thought and desire to honor those fallen, and yet to speak to generations yet to come. She purposely chose the white granite to form the wall from. White granite, when polished becomes highly reflective. She loved the look this gave when viewing the wall. It allows you to see, but at the same time realized that though the fallen have passed into the shadowy realm, we have not. Another aspect that helped her to choose the white granite is the contrast provided when etched into. The etchings create the stark contrast of white on dark. This makes the names carved into highly visible and easy to read. However, when it rains, it almost seems as if the names disappear, causing yet another level of emotional response. She wanted to list the names in the year they died as opposed to alphabetically to help us to remember their place in time. The height and length of the wall are meant to point out the vastness of the fallen.
There are many aspects Lin considered when creating this memorial. I was happy to have seen this interview with her, which provides a little more insight into how the memorial speaks to so many people.

Maybe you are planning a big gift for someone special. Or maybe for that person who already has everything, you can plan on surprising him/her with a plasma lift for the favorite plasma and LCD TV's.

Did You Know Ants Won't Cross a Circle of Cinnamon?
Did you know ants won't cross a circle of cinnamon?
Ok, honestly, I don't know if this one is true. I was just told this weekend that at a picnic someone had attended, the ants were getting bad. They put a circle of cinnamon around the food to keep the ants away! I have never heard this nor tried it, but I hope to test this one out soon!

Drug rehab treatment is a strenuous and agonizing time in people's lives. They are turning to someone, looking for help. This is a time for gentle and resourceful care. Small drug rehabs facilities may be better able to spend the time focusing on you and your specific needs.

Did You Know How to Run a Thanksgiving Feast for the Poor and Homeless?
Did you know how to run a Thanksgiving Feast for the Poor and Homeless?
Yesterday we went downtown to help out with serving at a large feast for the poor and homeless. This was a huge event and my husband and I were really looking forward to it. When we got there there were thousands of volunteers, more than there was enough work for. There were hundreds of volunteer workers standing around, wishing for work to help the poor and homeless.
What we were really impressed by was the large scale of this feast. There was more than just feeding the guests a meal. There was live entertainment throughout the day. There was a clothes "shopping" area where they could come and get sacks full of clothes and shoes for men, women and children. There were health screenings and free haircuts. There were services to answer questions. They were also handing out bags of non-perishable food items to take with them.
All in all we were very impressed by the scale of the feast and the amount of services offered. My mom had asked how we could go about setting up a feast in our own community. I like the idea, and know that we would have to start on a smaller scale than the one we attended yesterday, but we really do not even know where to begin with such an idea.
If anyone has any insight into how to begin putting on such a feast to help serve a community, please leave your comments here. All information is greatly appreciated.

Did You Know A Quick and Easy Detox?
Did you know a quick and easy way to detox after binge eating?
Well, maybe not everyone ate a lot of food yesterday, but this quick little mini-detox is good for anytime you feel bloated from overeating. I actually practice this little "ritual" every morning.
Each morning I drink one cup of hot water with the juice of one-half a lemon in it. It is quick and easy, warming, and aids in digestion and cleansing of the liver. I have even read that back in the Civil War, Stonewall Jackson practiced drinking lemon water to help with his digestive problems.

Did You Know The Right Ceiling Fan Can Add That Unique Flair to Your Home?
Did you know the right ceiling fan can add that unique flair to your home?
I am so happy for some friends of ours from church. They are a young couple who have made the sacrifices necessary to do the things they want. They just moved into a house they built. Before having children, they decided to build a small place to live, while saving the wife's earnings. They built what will eventually become their garage with a small kitchen, bath and loft area. And began saving their money.
As we walked through their spacious and beautifully built home, we could feel nothing but proud for them. They have really done it up right. The kitchen is lovely and large. The bath is unique. And one thing we all noticed were their unique ceiling fans . Though that may sound funny, those ceiling fans really added a nice touch to complete the overall look to their home.
As I was browsing the internet today, I noticed some great ceiling fans available, ones that, like my friends’, can add that distinctive finishing touch to a home. I especially love the exclusive look of the monte carlo fans and the fanimation series. I know many people would love the matchless style of the modern ceiling fans .
It really did amaze me how much a ceiling fan can add to the look of a home

Did You Know The Red Ant Gets Rid of Termites?
Did you know the red ant that gets rid of termites?
We just watched a show on Nova tonight. It took place somewhere in Africa. (I missed the beginning of the show, so do not know where.) There was a small village that was being devastated by termites. There was an old man who knew how to get rid of the termites. It was by using a red ant that he called the Jaklava. We saw what all these people went through to get the red ant. It was absolutely fascinating watching them use prayers and red ocher to entice the ants. When they man placed the red ants in the tunnel with the termites, it was amazing to see the small ants do battle and chase away the termites. The way this people is intertwined with the insects and all other life around them was astounding.

Did You Know A Non-Greasy, Non-Stinky Pain Relief Gel?
Did you know a non-greasy, non-stinky pain relief gel?
Not too long ago I heard about
Freeze It Gel pain relief gel. It claims to be able to relieve pain without the greasy, smelly side effects of many other pain relief gels. I was willing to give it a try.
This gel is great! I loved the way it went on easily, and did not feel greasy. It washed right off of my hands and did not leave a smell at all. It dried clear and non-greasy and it did not leave a lingering smell.
Because my mom and grandmother both suffer from arthritis, I would love for them to be able to have a steady supply of Freeze It Gel. When I heard about a contest to win a year’s supply of Freeze It , I wanted to enter so that I could keep those two ladies free from the stiffening pain they experience almost daily.
Freeze It is a great remedy for pains other than arthritis. It can help with muscles stiff from exercise and persistent pain before bed. The pain relief remedy comes in both a gel and roll on form.
Because Freeze It is derived from natural sources, this product is safe and effective to use up to four times a day. It contains aloe and vitamin E, menthol and camphor. It also contains the herbal extract Ilex. This is derived from a South American holly shrub and is used around the world to enhance the effectiveness of pain relievers.
So, if I could win a year’s supply of Freeze It Gel, I would keep a packet or two for myself and my family and then send the rest of it to my mom and my granny. I know that my granny would love to have some ongoing relief from her continual visits from her companion she calls "Arthur" and I think Freeze It could be just the answer for her.
This is my granny. She is awesome! I would love to be able to help her out a little bit if possible.

Did You Know About the Whale that Swam Up the Amazon?
Did you know about the whale that swam up the Amazon?
A couple of days ago a minke whale apparently got separated from its group and swam upstream, over 1000 miles away from the Atlantic Ocean. It is unusual for sea creatures to venture so far into fresh water. Scientists are working to dislodge the whale and send it back to the ocean.

Did You Know About Biotene Sensitivity Toothpaste?
Did you know about 
Biotene sensitivity toothpaste?
I have long had dental problems. I think I was 11 before I ever actually went to a dentist. As an adult, I knew that I needed to visit a dentist regularly. I had much problem with gingivitis and when I got serious about my dental care, I ended up needing lots of work done.
Because of the condition of my teeth and gums, they were both very sensitive. My gums would bleed almost every time I brushed my teeth. I would often feel cold sensations against my teeth; in general, very poor dental health.
So when I heard about Biotene and that it is designed as a sensitive toothpaste , I wanted to give it a try. I also called my grandmother, who has problems with sensitive teeth as well, and asked her to give it a try as well.
We both enjoyed the way Biotene works. It is gentle without the “spicy” taste of regular toothpastes. I wish I would have found this back when I was having so much trouble. Because Biotene is made with ingredients like Potassium Nitrate and its Enzyme LP3 Complex, I think it could have helped to prevent a lot of the trouble I was having.

Did You Know About the Sun Bear?
Did you know about the sun bear ?
I had never heard of this kind of bear until about four or five years ago while traveling overseas. At the Singapore Zoo, we got to see one of these little guys. Sun bears are the smallest of all the bear species. My daughter fell in love with the little bears. But now I have learned that these small bears are threatened with extinction in the wild. There is still much that scientists need to learn about these bears, but they feel sure that the sun bear is threatened. These bears are found in Southeast Asia. The biggest threats to the sun bear are habitat loss and commercial hunting.

Did You Know About The Mist?
Did you know about 
The Mist by Stephen King?
After reading the synopsis for this new movie (which hits theaters tomorrow) I felt a re-surging sense of what it was like to be trapped, not knowing or understanding just what was "out there".
In September of 2001, my family was traveling the East Coast. On Sept. 10 we had visited a few places in Washington D.C. and then traveled back to our condominium in Virginia. That night we decided we would move to a hotel in D.C. so that we would have more time to spend seeing the things we wanted to see and not have to waste the drive time.
So on the morning of the 11th, we headed into town to get our new hotel room. It was very strange. There were highway signs flashing and all other traffic was heading out. Only one lane was heading back into town. We could not understand what was going on.
We got to the hotel and got the arrangements settled, and were about to pay for our rooms when a couple asked my mom if she felt "trapped". Not understanding what the couple was talking about, my mother questioned them as to what they meant. Then the lady went on to tell my mom about the tower that had been hit in New York City and about the attacks on the country. We were stunned! Not only did we not really understand what all was happening, we were amazed that the hotel folks would go ahead and check us in, without saying anything about what was going on outside. (Looking back we are sure the hotel staff thought we did know!)
It was an eerie and terrifying feeling to go through the rest of that day. Feeling trapped with evil lurking outside can really cause all kinds of thoughts and emotions to swim in your head. And not knowing just who to trust or how others will react or whom you can depend upon only serves to enhance the fear.
I wonder if The Mist can cause its audience to emote this same feeling while watching…

Did You Know Starbucks Serves Tea?
Did you know Starbucks serves tea?
My husband let me in on that little tidbit, and I was glad to know, as I do not drink coffee. Recently, my sister was visiting and wanted to go to Starbucks. I told her ok, since I'd just learned that they serve tea. She said yes, and that I should try the Chai Latte.
It was SOOO GOOD! It has a "spicy" flavor, sort of a cross between gingerbread and pumpkin pie. Nice and warm, smooth and creamy, just the most delicious way to spend a Friday afternoon! I will have to head back soon for another one of those!

Did You Know About Online Book Discussions?
Did you know about online book discussions?
I guess my first book discussion participation was over a year ago. The site we were at has fallen, but the lady who led our first discussion will be hosting a new one at her new spot. Starting on December 13, we will begin discussing the book Lottery by Patricia Wood.
I just finished reading this book. Overall, I liked the book very much. I really like the lead character, Perry L. Crandall. This book is very poignant and really speaks to all of us as human beings. I think there is a great message to the book. I really like how Ms. Wood has a great understanding for the things she wrote about-from those with disabilities, to sailing to winning the lottery.
If you can get your hands on this book, I hope you will join us for the discussion next month .
I only hope I can remember everything a month from now!

Did You Know About Rain Chains?
Did you know about rain chains ?
I had never heard of these before. But I just learned that these beautiful and functional home accents have been around for hundreds of years. The idea of rain chains started in Japan. They function much like the gutters and downspouts of today do. They capture and channel rain water. The difference is that you can see the water coming down the chain. They also add an aesthetic quality to your home while at the same time entertaining your senses by hearing the rain descend the chain. In the past, these chains were used to funnel the water into a barrel to store it for later use.

It looks like you can even get a free flash drive from one of the sites.

Did You Know About Modular Hotels?
Did you know about modular hotels ?
These mini-sized rooms have long been a favorite of Japanese businessmen, and are now become chic with travelers in Europe and starting to gain attraction in the U.S. These smaller sized rooms are reminiscent of a cruise ship cabin, and many of them are double occupancy. Some even have suite sized bathrooms inside. These pod hotels are very sleek and stylish and offer a very affordable option to their larger sized counterparts.

Did you know about memory foam?
My husband had been wanting to get one of those TempurPedic beds. But we just could not afford it. So instead, I decided to surprise him with a memory foam topper. It is a nice addition to our bed, making it less stressful on his back. It does provide more heat to the bed, which can be good for some and less good for others! Now you can find some great special deals on the memory foam mattress just in time for the holidays. These specials include a free 120 day in home trial, full ten year warranty and free shipping.

Did You Know Soda Can Help Start Your Car?
Did you know soda can help start your car?
I found out today that last week after my daughter's horseback riding lesson, one of the ladies could not get her car started. As no one there had any jumper cables, they tried an old wive's tale trick. The instructor had a soda. So, she poured some over the battery posts. The car started! The lady had to go and get a new battery, but the carbonated drink helped her get where she needed to go in the meantime! Our instructor said this should work with any carbonated beverage.)

Did You Know Getting Paid to Blog is So Easy a Child Can Do It?
Did you know getting paid to blog is so easy a child can do it?
My daughter has a blog that she has not written in for some time. She just got motivated this weekend to start revising it. It is a cute blog about life in general from a kid's perspective. She may write some things about what is going on in her world, or things related to upcoming holidays and more often, she posts her school assignments.
We have been telling her how easy it is to make money blogging. Mostly she just laughs at me. Recently, I accepted an opportunity for 200 words telling a story about "my dog". It paid $8.50. I told my daughter that if she wrote it and posted it on my blog then I would give her the money. She hesitated at first, thinking 200 words would be too much. By the time she finished the story , it was almost 300 words!
She has decided that she can hopefully get her blog updated and one day be accepting job opportunities to post ads on her blog and make some money for herself!

Did You Know About St. George and the Dragon?
Did you know about St. George and the dragon?
I had never read about St. George and the Dragon before this summer. The story was referred to several times in my son's summer reading book The Historian. And now as we have been reading about the middle ages, we have read a bit about St. George. Even though I don't know much about the story, we did read one version of his story today. A great story for little boys who fill their imaginations with knights, swords, and fire-breathing dragons. George was apparently stolen away by the fairies to be kept safe for his destiny. He came back to save his land from the dragon. He was wounded but not defeated and finally prevailed over the dragon. He was offered the hand of the princess, but left to fulfill his obligation to the fairy queen. After six years, he returned to marry the princess and become St. George of Merry England.
