Posted by on · 1 Comment

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Christmas will be here before you know it, and if you haven’t yet gotten any ideas of what to give as Christmas gifts to those on your list, the sooner you start gathering your thoughts about affordable Christmas gifts the better off you’ll be.

We are firm believers in early Christmas shopping, getting in on the many discount deals available online as early as possible. We don’t wait until Black Friday comes, and we do the great majority of our Christmas shopping online, and it’s very rare that we ever step foot in any of the popular stores in search of xmas gifts, Christmas music, lights or decorations.

Fluoride Filters – Reverse Osmosis Water Filters to Remove Fluoride in Drinking Water

Posted by on · Leave a Comment

Fluoride removal water filtration systems for home use is on many people’s minds, especially with the growing awareness of where fluoride comes from and the scientifically proven, documented harmful effects of ingesting fluoride long-term. Family members, friends and acquaintances know that I am vehemently opposed to fluoride in drinking water and all other sources of fluoride, including fluoridated toothpaste.

I spent weeks researching distillers and reverse osmosis systems that remove fluoride from drinking water, reading hundreds of reviews pro and con, as well as reading a variety of great books about contaminants in water and how to effectively remove those contaminants and fluoride from water.

Too Old To Learn? Hogwash. You’re Never Too Old To Learn Something New

Posted by on · 4 Comments

It never ceases to amaze me the number of times I’ve been told that erroneous quote, “I’m too old to learn”. It is utter nonsense for anyone to think, let alone actually say to themselves or outloud, that they’re too old to learn something new.

What’s even more odd is the age range of people who’ve been saying they’re too old to learn things, to educate themselves and grow or expand their knowledge once they’ve reached a certain age. Men and women (mostly women) saying they’re too old to learn new things when they’re only in their forties, fifties, sixties and so on. Hogwash. That ridiculous quote has got to be one of the biggest cop-out’s of all time. You’re never, ever too old to learn anything.

Teaching Your Children about Home Safety

Posted by on · 2 Comments

Unfortunately we don’t live in a society where doors and windows can be left unlocked when no one is at home or where children can be outside on their own for hours with no supervision. This world is a scary place full of child predators, burglars, and criminals looking to take advantage of anyone they can.

It is never too early to teach your kids about being safe at home. If they can write their name and learn their address and phone number, it is time to spend some time discussing home security. Even if they can’t write or memorize yet, they can be taught how to dial 911 when there is an emergency.

Top 10 Best Selling Coffee Makers and Single Serve Coffee Makers

Posted by on · 8 Comments

For people that drink as much coffee as we do, our recent experience with a single serve coffee maker in our hotel room during our Chicago vacation created temporary disappointment. I can only guess as to why hotels choose to provide hotel guests with one-cup coffee machines versus one that brews more than one cup of coffee at a time, but we weren’t impressed.

The moment we checked into our hotel room and saw the tiny coffee making appliance sitting on the counter at the hotel we stayed at, we knew we weren’t going to make it through our entire vacation trip with that silly looking coffee maker. We made a beeline to the nearest store and bought a cheap, black 12-cup automatic coffee maker that was sitting all by itself on a discount clearance shelf for just ten dollars.
