The Make-A-Wish Foundation sent my daughter, myself and my other daughter to Florida to see my family.  While we were there we spent a day in St. Augustine.  One of the places we were lucky enough to visit was an old fort (castle) built by the Spanish in 1695.  This fort was called the Castillo de San Marcos.The fort is unique in that it is made out of Coquina which is a kind of ...

If you are into producing music on your computer, FL Studio is highly reccommended. This program offers countless of features! I've been using the program for about two months and still haven't tapped into every feature. The program has, by far, the easiest interface between the three top music producing programs (Reason, Sony Acid, and FL Studio). You can make anything from a heavy roc...

Last weekend, on our trip to Panama City Beach, FL, we decided to check out Gulf World since we had never been there before.  I liked it pretty much, but I have been to much better wildlife centers.  First thing we did upon arriving was go to the high-diving show.  This show featured about 5 guys and 1 girl who showed off a lot of different diving from different height diving boa...

I have never been one to use a lot of moisturizer, simply because I don't care for a greasy, heavy feeling on my skin. I have also tried tinted products on occasion and have not really liked them. I saw this product, CG Smoothers, in K Mart while browsing through the cosmetics and thought I'd give it a try.  Wow, was I pleasantly surprised! The nicest thing about it is that it...

I have used just about every gel and cream on the market chasing after the smooth and glossy look for my hair. I purchased the TRESemme brand for a very reasonable price and can say that I have finally found a product that works.  It is not heavy or greasy so it does not weigh your hair down making it look like it needs washed. The product makes the hair look smooth and polished. It can be...

When I first wrote this review based on a past visit, this is what I had to say: The first fun thing that we encountered at Universal Studios, Orlando was the people mover… For anyone that hasn’t seen it, from the side it may appear to be a very long area for an escalator but it is actually flat, like the people movers on the Jetson’s cartoon. Jordan decided to race me r...

The hype on the bottle says "for the toughest jobs on the planet Earth". So far, that has been true. Gorilla Glue bonds wood, metal, ceramic, stone and all manner of things.  I originally bought it to glue the head back on to a decapitated concrete garden statue and it worked just fine. The statue is outside in the elements and it has managed to keep it's head ...

"Magical" does not even begin to describe our wonderful family vacation to Walt Disney World last month (September 2007).  There is no other vacation destination that we have ever visited that has provided me with that same sense of feeling "special".   I was truly amazed at all of the friendly, smiling Cast Members (staff members) that were so ...

Hydrogen Peroxide is a great part of any first aid kit or just in general is great to have around for everyday sterilizing use. It's very inexpensive and is available in grocery stores, drug stores and department stores. I tried the Target Brand which came in a 16oz size. It says on the packaging that it can also be used as a gargle or rinse but I use it primarily as a f...
