If my life had a tagline, it would go here.


How Many Tweets Is Too Many?
Do you follow me on Twitter? A few years ago I stopped tweeting about Surfnetkids resources for calendar events, but I am going to start again. Yay! The Surfnetkids Calendar includes both the obvious (Martin Luther King Day: Jan 16, 2012 http://bjf.me/xKchG1) and the obscure (Nellie Bly Returns From Her 72-day Trip Around the World: [...]

2012 Resolutions
Happy New Year! I am both fascinated and appalled by New Year?s resolutions. I do not usually make them, because for the most part I think they are ineffective. On the other hand, I do strive to better myself every year, and am always interested in hearing how others are pursuing their goals. Did you [...]

Donors Choose Gift Card
I first learned of Donors Choose in 2007 when Google sent me a Donors Choose gift card as a holiday present. Back in those days, Google sent cool, techie holiday gifts to their best Adsense publishers. If they are still doing it, they have dropped me from their cool kids club. Anyway, in 2007, after [...]

DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Maker
After returning from Italy this summer, I began dreaming about making cappuccinos and lattes at home. The price at Starbucks is really rather ridiculous. And besides, they don’t deliver! So I read all the reviews at Amazon, and decided on the DeLonghi EC155 based on a combination of its low-price and good reviews. I have [...]

The New Kindles
Okay, full disclosure here, I still have my Kindle 2.0 and I haven’t been persuaded to upgrade yet (although I do sometimes hear the Kindle Fire calling my name!!) But if you have not yet fallen under their spell, this holiday season is the perfect time. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of bestselling [...]

Thermapen Instant Read Thermometer
This is a splurge purchase that I put off for a long time. But I finally realized that home cooking saves money, and not ruining an expensive piece of meat? That’s priceless! Ha ha ha. Anyway, I use this several times a week when roasting or rotisserie-ing something yummy for dinner. Hubby and I are [...]

Packing Cubes
I still remember my father-in-law (may he rest in peace) going on and on about what a pro traveler I was, when he saw the tiny suitcase I was bringing on my European honeymoon in 1985. The secret to my packing success was small, zippered plastic envelopes that were each big enough for maybe two [...]

Audible Membership
I’m not old enough to have memories of gathering around the radio listening to serialized dramas, but I love putting audiobooks on my phone (used to put them on my iPod) and listen while driving. The odd thing about this is that I don’t drive often, and I don’t usually drive very far. I’m talking [...]
