I've come across this very informative blog post, from a government worker named Leo Babauta. His blog is titled Zen Habits and here he explains how writing everyday causes you to think about what you are doing, who you are, what you contribute. It shows you how to crystalize your emotions by putting them on paper. Even if you are writing only for one person. zenhabits : 'via Blog this'

I have been blogging on my WordPress site for some time and using Zemanta on it for a while. What a joy it is to find that it is available on my Blogger blog as well. It's hands down the best tool to get help in a blog and add value to your blog - well quoted and giving proper credit to the elements, images and text you use. I can recommend this. If you know of any draw backs to using Zemanta then please leave a comment on this blog... I'm using Chrome for my blogging and some offline software as well, but I can recommend the plugins,  both in Chrome and in Firefox. Related articles Zemanta

GOD HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR A woman received a call that her daughter was sick. She stopped by the pharmacy to get medication, got back to her car and found that she had locked her keys inside. The woman found an old rusty coat hanger left on the ground. She looked at it and said "I don't know how to use this." She bowed her head and asked God to send her HELP. Within 5 minutes a beat up old motorcycle pulled up. A bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag. The man got off of his cycle and asked if he could help. She said: "Yes, my daughter is sick. I’ve locked my keys in my car. I must get home. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?" He said "Sure." He walked over to the car, and in less than a minute the car was open. She hugged the man and through tears said "Thank You SO Much! You are a very nice man." The man replied "Lady, I am NOT a nice man. I just got out of PRISO...

What if kids came with a maintenance plan,  like your car.  What would such a plan contain? What would it exclude? What would the wording be? Could you get the luxury model that includes college, or the general one that covers high school and an entry level job?  What about the budget one? It comes with fries and work experience in a service industry!

Here's one for the English snobs from a grammar phobe: "I want to speak you a question' Is this correct English? I've posted a history question on my other blog: eclecticatticblog.com

I have been an avid reader all my life and don't see stopping anytime soon. I love going to our local public library. I love the big wooden door you had to lean back on to get it moving. Finally the big door would move and the smell of books, leather and wood would hit like a physical sensation. There they were. Stacks and stacks of books. From simple books for the little ones, to detailed picture books on how it's done. Rows and rows of encyclopedias and even more books in the reference section. Books so important, that you could only read them in that hallowed hall that was the library. Never, ever, was a reference book allowed to leave the glory of the library. I loved the soft springy feel of the leather clad floors and the pressed ceiling high above. Slowly trolling down shelf upon shelf to find the books that you loved reading. Just checking that no one did them harm since I last took them home. Then it's the slow dance of pulling a book with an enticing title dow...

The problem has been fixed. The car is working again. I can spend to hart content on the very expensive fuel, and wait for the refund of these expenses from the garage where the problem occurred. Anyone else had this happen to them?

“The great breakthrough in your life comes when you realize that you can learn anything you need to learn to accomplish any goal that you set for yourself. This means there are no limits on what you can be, have or do.” - Unknown

My Easter long weekend got of to a disastrous start. English: Ten-bay gas bar on interstate highway in northeastern United States. The pumps are full as Easter weekend travelers fuel up on their way home. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) As is my normal behavior, I checked my fuel gauge on Thursday morning, as I headed in to the office. My reserve light was on, but the car 's trip computer showed I could still to 160 km on what was in the tank. I decided, that since it's the day before the Easter weekend , I could end up in heavy traffic and then my car consumes fuel at an alarming rate. So I pulled in to the filling station on my way to work. As I've done, every ten days for the past six and a half years, I asked for them to fill up with diesel. Being the optimizer I am, I put my card in my pocket and as the petrol pump attendant went through his spiel about checking water and oil, I took it out of the shirt pocket. I then realized I took the credit card and not t...
