Did You Know About Mat Pilates?

Did you know about mat pilates?

I have tried pilates with the machine before, and really liked it. But I have gone to two mat pilates classes in the last couple of weeks. I really like these! What a total body workout! And since I am not fully released for all exercises, the teachers have been great to modify movements for me so that I can still get a workout even if I can't do a particular move. I sure am weak, particularly in the legs, but I am glad to be able to find some exercises I can do for them in modification.

Did You Know About Trapizza?

Did you know Trapizza?

This novel eatery located in Sentosa, Singapore apparently offers something extraordinary with its fare of pizza and pasta. I hear that you can use the on site trapeze to perform either gymnastics or acrobatics moves!

Did You Know About Metal Buildings?

Did you know about steel and metal buildings?

Metal buildings have always been a useful place on many people's properties. I have seen metal buildings used for garages, storage sheds, and workshops.They can be used to store and protect livestock, hay, grain and heavy machinery. One of my friend's grandparents even used a metal building as their house for a while!

Did You Know About Comparing Your Writing Style?

Did you know about comparing your writing style?

I found a site that compares your writing style to famous authors. When I first submitted posts from this blog, I was told that I write like Bram Stoker. I saved the badge in a word document, but somehow cannot access it now. So with today's submissions I was told I write like Raymond Chandler, Margaret Atwood and Stephen King. Because Stephen King came up with another blog's submission, I will post it here. Between him and Bram Stoker, I guess my blogs are a bit scary!


I write like
Stephen King

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!


Did You Know About Our Old TV?

Did you know about our old tv?

We have chosen to still fight our old tv. This is only the second television we've had in 23 years! When we turn it on, we have to bang on it just right for the picture to come in. After a little while, when it's warmed up, it works fine. When we leave, we have gotten into the habit of leaving it on, just so we don't have to fight it when we come back! I know, in this day and age of new state of the art Samsung HDTVs, we are still fighting our old television….!

Did You Know the Best Oven Cleaner?

Did you know the best oven cleaner?

Last weekend I finally gave my oven a deep cleaning. It was in great need, as I had burnt on some stuff and then some foil I had used to broil on caught fire and left the whole oven a black mess. I started with some baking soda and vinegar. This worked ok, especially on the stuff that was not caked on. But before I finished I really wanted to get the oven clean. I decided to try some pot cleaner I have left from my Saladmaster pots and pans. This stuff worked amazingly! It got the entire oven clean, included the baked on grease! That oven has never been so clean since we moved in here!

Did You Know About Great Give-Aways?

Did you know great give-aways?

When we go to any kind of carnival or community event, I love collecting those free little promotional items. And it's great for the companies involved too. It is a cheap way for them to get some advertisement (and it seems like a good deal for the amount they get.) Even if they give away lots of these items, their name is in everyone's hands. It seems like a win-win situation for the consumer and the companies too.
