WHY I’M DUMPING CLUMPING LITTER Some years back I switched from regular cat litter to clumping thinking it would be less expensive and make it easier to maintain multiple litter boxes. I’ve used different varieties – brand name, store name, generic, scented, unscented, lightweight. Looking back I don’t know that I saved money since it’s …

This is a simplified, end-user review of the Eleaf Aster 75 watt mod. It doesn’t cover specifications and all the technical things – only an opinion of a consumer who has used the product.

I haven’t posted in awhile, and I’ve tried hard to avoid being blatantly political on this blog, but NO MORE. It’s time to speak up and speak out. If you are a Christian, if you believe in religious freedom, you need to wake up fast and don’t even consider voting for Hillary Clinton. She has …

I never though a lot about mustard, being more of a ketchup fan – until I tried Inglehoffer’s Original Stone Ground Mustard. This stuff is GREAT. It’s a spicy mustard, but not too hot and the flavor is excellent. Instead of finely ground mustard seeds like some brown or spicy mustards have, Inglehoffer’s has whole …

I’ve been on the do-not-call list for a long time and have an unpublished number as well. Without thinking, I went to the fcc website to report a call I just received – but of course they are unavailable because of the government shut down. That’s fine, one of these days they’ll be operational again …
Recently Zazzle made changes which will potentially lower the amount of money some designers, the people who actually create the graphics for them to print on their products, can earn.

Recently I purchased a package of ‘forever fragrant freshSTICKS.” I’d looked at them in the store several times, thinking they sounded to good to be true. But, after one review I read where the person said they could only use a few sticks instead of the entire bag because they were so strong, I decided …
Earlier today, after the Town Hall Meeting held about upcoming changes to Zazzle, I made the post below in the Feedback and Suggestions section of their forums.

I’ve always been a fan of some of the food Burger King has to offer, but I have given the store closest to me their last chance unless some major improvements are made. Businesses can have bad days, I understand that, but when one has three bad experiences in a row – added to other …

Local media has covered a lot of stories about problems people experienced while trying to vote in Richland County. Extremely long lines in some polling places are in question.

I just watched two videos that infuriated me. One was about an EIGHT YEAR OLD CHILD BEING GIVEN BOTOX INJECTIONS, the other of A SCREAMING FIVE YEAR OLD HAVING HER EYEBROWS WAXED, both because the children participate in beauty pageants. Recently people were quick to yell about the protesting child who was patted down at …
