Month of Menus at WomansDay.com - Daily Recipes and Shopping List

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 10:35:16 -0800

The good: This is a great time saver. You get a month's worth of menus plus a shopping list for week-by-week. It helps relieve the migraine, that I get, trying to plan it all myself. It is both time consuming and just a pain.

The bad: There are several things that can make it glitchy for anyone who uses it. First off, the prices. Not everyone can afford salmon three times a month or halibut even at all (Dec 2009). Second, when you download a menu and shopping list, you shouldn't expect to be told to pick up "take-out" (12/5/09). Take out should never be a menu/shopping item. Third, leftovers are a mystery. Leftovers are planned every Sunday, but we seldom have leftovers. It too should be eliminated and the user should decide which menu item to eliminate should the user decide to use leftovers.

Overall: It still is helpful, but like many other menu suggestions, expect to do a lot of customizing yourself.

Excellent book by Elizabeth George Speare. My kids loved this book when they were children and we're even part Native American. It's short but beautifully written.

Did an unsatisfactory job in my opinion. The password removal tool (also listed at this site) only works if you have the password, which is basically useless. Because of this the document I converted from pdf to doc opened in "read only" mode which isn't helpful at all.

Nope, it needs work.

70 Most Beautiful CG Girl Artworks - CG Tutorials

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:38:02 -0800

Definitely NOT the most beautiful; I've seen better. Granted, these are indeed very nice but again, not the most beautiful. At first I believed that as long as the subject had large breasts, was scantily clad and had a flat belly that this qualified for being the most beautiful. Not all fall under those requirements, but a large sum do.

I disagree with munkeyluvva who said that there were only about 10 interesting ones and this isn't about which ones are interesting, this is about beauty. That said, I think even fewer than ten are actually interesting, but again, that's not the point.

Some are indeed amazingly beautiful but not all.

TIGERS IN CRISIS: Information About Earths Endangered Tigers

The problem is that a lot are in a crisis, not just tigers. We can blame humans, that's convenient, but even humans are animals and nature does make its own selections. How do we really know the reason behind it all? We don't and we never will.

We can only do our best.

Anything dog is lovable. I just am not sure I agree with #1. Although in truth, I don't believe I could pick a "best" because I love all dog pictures. :)

I have a serious issue with anyone, such as this writer, who thinks that Obama and Winfrey are special people and above others. Obama is an idiot and so is Winfrey for supporting him. He has been an embarrassment since he was sworn in and if a writer is going to even mention him at all in an admiring fashion, (s)he loses all respect from me.

This was pretty funny! I sure could use the money he won. Now if I only had a glass eye, dentures and a sex change I'd be in business. :)
