The Unpeelable Eggs! 1

Apr

2013

Even though I have been making hard boiled eggs for years, my husband insisted that he hard boil the eggs for Easter this year. He saw something on the internet or watched a YouTube video or something on boiling the perfect egg and figured he could do things better (isn’t that always the case with men). So I let him do it and he was so proud of himself, how hard is it anyway, really. The kids did their decorating and the eggs went into the refrigerator, until today. While my husband was at work, four of us decided ...

Facebook’s Parental Problem 2

Today, parental control software gives moms ...

No Internet But A New Mac! 2

2011

For Mother’s Day my husband and kids gave me the new iMac that I had been wanting, the one with the 27″ screen that, as my friend says, is as big as a surf board. I was so excited and couldn’t wait to play with it. But then what happens, our internet service goes crazy, I kept getting bounced off and it was driving me nuts. Finally, today, I have everything back in working order and I was able to get back on-line to post. I have to admit, I wasn’t all that upset not being able to get on-line ...
