Reflections of a Home Maker

The US Department of Health and Human Services has a list of Five Easy Ways to Stay Healthy.

  • Get Recommended screening tests.
  • Eat Healthy Foods.
  • Be physically active, 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
  • Don't Smoke.
  • Relax and take care of yourself.

Seems pretty simple. But that one about being phyically active, I mean what DO you think I'm doing, I'm physically active for 30 minutes before the school bus even goes by.

So what about "Relax and Take Care of Yourself", Do you have any good suggesstions on making this happen?

Hey babe, tommorrow is the big showdown on the Obama-Clinton show. What's going to happen?

The Babe thinks Obama is a lock, and McCains only chance in November is to try to hook up with Condi.


 

Politics

On the Left

Al Franken for US Senate

Join TeamFranken!

We're a people-powered campaign. Without our amazing, brilliant, creative, dedicated, enthusiastic, fantastic volunteers, we wouldn't be able to do what we do every day.

There are all sorts of volunteer opportunities available. Don't like talking on the phone? We've got a lot of mail to get out the door. Like being around people? We need help setting up and staffing events. Busy? We can sympathize. But it only takes a couple hours to make a big difference.

On the Right

Replaying a portion of his Friday interview from the "Laura Ingraham Show," Limbaugh said, "We need Barack Obama bloodied up politically." "I want our party to win. I want the Democrats to lose. They're in the midst of tearing themselves apart right now. It's fascinating to watch, and it's all going to stop if Hillary loses.

Here's a tid bit we overheard at Bill's Coffee House:

Just enter your zip code in the site below, and it tells you which gas stations have the cheapest prices (and the highest) on gas in your zip code area. It's updated every evening.

I Need Gas.

Did you start collecting Social Security checks before full retirement age?

Here is A Hidden Social Security Benefit

Bill's Coffee House

It's just coffee man, the rest is all about the conversation!

There was a time when I bought most of my beans from a place that imported them and roasted them, and they were the best I've ever had. However, I discovered some interesting things about them: the Kona, which I'd just paid $20.00 a pound for, tasted a lot better if I used one scoop of Kroger Colombian ($3.99 per pound) per four scoops of the expensive stuff. That cheap coffee actually improved the flavor of the Kona.

Cool Tip. 800-FREE-411 Instead of dialing 411 and being charged 50 cents to $1.50, call this service, from a cell or a landline, for free nationwide directory assistance.

All the gold in Iraqifornia is in a bank in the middle of Kurdistan. In somebody else's name.

Kurdistan could be the next Dubai, get in early. Dave is there a Kurdistan ETF?

The Kurdish regional government in Sulaimaniya oversees the Reconstruction and Development Agency, an office which has drawn up a long list of infrastructure needs and is now matching them with local government and international donor funds.

About $700 million worth of projects have started in the past year, with a South Korean contractor building the hospital, and Iranian and Chinese groups contracted to work on tunnels, roads and bridges.

In five years' time, Sulaimaniya will look very different.

Woman Book
Preserving serenity of mind amid the trials of domestic life...

What do you think is on the first page of this book? This could be a useful read. The Timothy Times has deployed a tiger team to track this thing down. We'll have a full report as soon as it is located.

Gold
Is Gold Money?

Gold hit a record high of 989.33 usd after the ISM manufacturing index showed there was a contraction in the sector in February. Data from the Commerce Department also revealed that total construction spending saw the largest one-month drop since 1994.

Shoot Dave, Gold could be the key....
