It took me a long time to really get into Facebook. It seemed pretty boring and aside from the possibility of getting in touch with old friends (even though many weren’t on it either yet), I didn’t give it much thought. About a year ago one of my sisters re-sent me an invitation and I checked it out again and signed up. I decided to put a little more time into seeing if it was worth it this time around before abandoning ship altogether, and that’s when I stumbled upon the Facebook applications.

The applications that interest me the most …read more

Make Art Monday!
First, I thought that Photojojo’s Photo-opoly game would make a great Christmas gift, using photos and landmarks from around your own home town.  But then I started to think about it: wouldn’t you rather have a game that reminds you of a great vacation that you took?
I think the hardest time you’ll have is culling through the photos and picking only the best of the best…what a hardship that will be 

Over the weekend we had a great time. Why did we have a great time? The simplest answer I can come up with is because we spent time together and you know the old saying, “Family time is quality time,” I really do think someone was onto something when they came up with that. But it is true, the more time you spend with your family the more you get to know them.
Friday we all decided to hit up a brand new chinese restaurant out here, “Aikou” and I must say it was delicious. I made sure that we all …read more

OK…lets just say you have this “friend”…and sometimes you hook up, and sometimes you don’t. Sometimes you fight, sometimes you get along. Neither one of you have ANY idea what the other one is thinking, and so, you basically spend half of your “relationship” in an awkward impasse of things left unsaid.
The sad truth is, most couples (and especially must “hook up friends”) don’t really TALK. And they are especially unlikely to talk about sex. Whether you are scared or ashamed or embarrassed, it just becomes the giant elephant in the room.
The fact of the matter, though, is that the …read more

Employers are specifically instructing managers to not send them World of Warcraft players. It’s believed, and with good cause, that WoW players cannot give 100 percent to their job because their focus is elsewhere, their sleeping patterns are often not great and varied other factors that play into diminished performance abilities.
I can’t say I blame them.
I know a man who is 40+ years old and was recently placed on 2 weeks suspension, AGAIN, for not showing up to work on time or simply not showing up at all as the result of gaming instead of sleeping.
If your teen has …read more

Heather, over at Inside Motherhood, has tagged Gayla and I to play an exciting round of meme tag! The topic is pregnancy questions. I will try my best to answer these without rambling incessantly, which I tend to do very often when the topic is pregnancy. That is partly why I started the Fertile Farmer blog. I love talking about pregnancy, probably because I’m a tad knowledgeable about it. Ha! Here we go:
1. How did you find out you were pregnant?
Uhhhh….which time? The first time around, I missed my period and was sleeping all the time. A test confirmed my …read more

Ever had one of those days when your head feels like it is going to split down the middle? Or maybe you just plain feel like crap, but errands still have to be run, meals cooked and the house cleaned? That would be today, for me. I woke up with this headache and it has plagued me all day. Yet, the cupboards were bare and the kids were hungry, so shopping had to be done.
Shopping with three kids is always a lot of fun, if you enjoy saying “No” a thousand times, keeping items from falling off the shelves as …read more
