A purple dinosaur has invaded our home and sad to say, I am afraid he is here to stay. Not only did Playhouse Disney Channel change the Wiggles time slot to an impossibly early (6am) or late (11pm) time, but to add insult to injury, they added Barney to the line-up as well. I have [...]

Sidebar Widgets

I have been having fun with the WordPress.com sidebar widgets. One drawback of this blog is the inability to customize it any way you want. However the sidebar widgets function allows you to personalize your blog with additional text or graphics. I enjoyed searching for cute/witty/thoughtful cross-stitch sayings to put in my sidebar.

Steve's three miles-per-hour journey began last April in southern California, when he weighed almost 30 stone (190kg). He couldn't walk the length of a supermarket aisle without losing breath, and he realised he was on the [...]

2. Tell her that she should not strain her not-so-young eyes with [...]
