Ipods

So what’s the most wanted gifts these days? Iphones, ipads and ipods of course. Everywhere I go I see people carrying and using at least one of those units. They’re very cool gadgets I must admit but I cannot think of a good enough reason for me to get them. Well I think I can surely find uses for them but I’m just not young and hip anymore to accessorize myself with gadgets like them.

They got it wrong again

Don’t you just hate it when they get it wrong? I’m talking about those so called experts in the weather bureau who predict the weather for us. We depend on them so we can decide whether to do the wshing or not and let me tell you they seldom get it right. Today was supposed to be a mostly sunny day which would have been perfect to hang out the washing but instead it’s an overcast and cold day. Which means my washing isn’t going to get dry and I just hate that.

Life insurance quotes

Life is unpredictable; one day you’re living your life to the fullest and the next day things could change for the worst just like that. I had a friend who’s in a dilemma at the moment due to some unforeseen circumstances. Things would have been better coped if they had life insurance which they don’t. I never want my family to go through that, that’s why I’ve been looking everywhere for life insurance quotes to find the right one for me and my family. We need that peace of mind.

My new digital radio

Scored myself a portable digital radio for birthday last weekend and I’m loving it. Have been eyeing it for some times but decided to let other people get it for me since my birthday was coming up. It’s a little pricey compared to a normal radio of course but I reckon it’s well worth it. The quality of the sound is crystal clear with no static or interference. Problem is the batteries didn’t seem to last as long, due possibly to the fact that they came with the radio so they’re crappy ones or maybe because digital radios use up power faster? I really don’t know but will see after I’ve used it for some times.

Rain boots

Winter is usually wet where I live so it dampens my love for gardening. However nothing‘s going to stop me from doing what I like doing in the gardens. A few precautions taken and I should be able to get out there amongst my elements like wearing sensible footwear like a pair of rain boots and water proof jacket to keep dry and warm. Then I’m all set!

Growing tomatoes

All tomato plants, like any plant that produces fruit, need at least seven hours of direct sunlight. If you have less, you will have fantastic foliage but only very few fruit. There is nothing that can overcome this light requirement. Fruit production takes a tremendous amount of energy, and tomato plants get that energy from the sun. They will grow just fine without pruning. Slight pruning will however result in slightly fewer total fruit but the fruit will be slightly larger. You will probaly get more but slightly smaller fruit from non-pruned ones. Do what ever you’re comfortable with.

Eye cream

The other day I woke up with a swollen left eye. I don’t know what happened but it could be an insect bite or I could have rubbed my eye with dirty hand. Anyway I searched all through the whole house for some kind of eye cream to help reduce the swelling but all I could find was the haemorrhoid cream! I used it anyway and guess what? It worked!

Asian vegetables

Nothing tastes as good as the vegies that you grow yourself. Even if you don’t have much time to spend in the garden, you can still enjoy growing and eating quick-cropping Asian vegetables. The seeds germinate quickly and can be sown in the garden or in a large pot. Don’t sow all the seeds at once, instead, sow a selection every two to three weeks so you’ll have a continuous supply of greens over the months ahead.

Shopping with coupons

Most of us have busy lives so running all over town shopping for what we need is the least in our to-do list. Therefore I’m all for online shopping; there’s more varieties and choices to choose from. Then there’s the system of shopping using coupons that save your even more. So yes, I’m all for it. To tell you the truth I can’t remember the last time I shop at a retail store, it’s so much easier and cheaper to shop online.

Not an ad for Facebook

This is going to sound like an ad for Facebook but I can’t help but feel great about joining the social networking site. Yesterday I found and made contact with 2 of my long lost friends from the days when we were young and stupid. Funny how people grow apart as we age; we all have our lives to live and too busy to keep in touch thus losing touch. But thanks to Facebook we can all find each other again.
