Choosing the right GPS

Posted by Viola Woolcott

How do you navigate?
How organised are you?
Where are you going?
How rich are you?
How good do you want to look?

Here is a guide to picking the right GPS for use in the outdoors. Look at the pros and cons of traditional GPS units from Garmin and Magellan, PDAs and mobile phones with digital mapping and newer entrants like the SatMap and Road Angel.

The choice is yours!

My Fake Baby with High Heels and Toupee

How about this? Fake Babies? And not only that, you can dress it with “Baby‘s First Heels” and if that’s not enough, how about a ‘great’ choice of a Babytoupee? Can you claim child-benefit for one of these?

Some may call it the extraordinary world of “re-borns” – life like dolls. I am not sure what I’d call it, but definitely not ‘extraordinary’. I actually find it kind of a ‘sick’ thing to even want to have one of these ‘dead-looking babies’ in the house, not to mention holding it, cuddling it, taking ‘one’ out shopping, for a walk, to visit friends, dress it, pretend to feed it, change its nappy, washing ’it’ and pretending it is real. And yes, even buying a car chair and strapping it in for safety. Doesn’t seem right to me. Don’t these people have better things to do with their time? But than we are all different.

There seems to be a small group of women who even collect these ‘things’. Amazing what people make money with and what others fall for. You can even get these ‘babies’ on eBay for about £200. I’d rather spend my money on something that’s REAL and not as it states a “FAKE” baby.

Well, that’s my opinion anyway.

Milkshake – What else is there to say?

Well, what can one say? He calls himself “ The PimpMastaGeneral”…It takes courage for some to do a video like that. I must say, he’s got ‘guts’ . Don’t you just love his string bikini? BUT what happened to his ‘manhood’?

I am posting this under ‘Off-Topics’, you see why when you watch the video.

Grandma Moses

Anna Mary Robertson Moses (1860-1961), known to the nation as Grandma Moses died at the age of 101.

By Neil Eskelin

At the age of eighty, a farmer’s wife in Cambridge, Virginia, suffered from painful arthritis. The mother of ten children and many grandchildren — and great-grandchildren — loved to do needlework, but her fingers could no longer manipulate the large needle to embroider.

The elderly woman looked for something else that would keep her occupied and found she could hold a small paintbrush much easier than a needle. So she tried her hand painting. She thought her farm and country scenes were good enough to show at the Cambridge Fair, but only won prizes for her jams and canned fruit. There were no blue ribbons for her art.

Then one day an art collector from New York City was traveling through the village and noticed several of her paintings for sale in a local drug store. When he showed them to his friends in the art circles of Manhattan, they were more than curious.

Soon, ‘Grandma Moses’ gained an international reputation. Her widely-collected works of art were featured on calendars, greeting cards and in exhibitions in leading galleries including the Modern Museum of Art in New York.

Even more amazing, twenty-five percent of her 1,500 popular paintings were done after she was 100!

There goes to show again that age does not matter and if our heart is in it, you can do anything!
