I love the internet.  All the connections are simply amazing.  For example, this Easter, I have a friend from high school who is making an italian cream cake (one of my hubby’s family recipies).  She’s using a cake plate my mom gave her as a wedding present years ago, and the recipe is online in a […]

I’m asking fellow Alabama citizens to help us protect our public water ways and divers by requesting support from State Senators for HB-104…the bill to modify terminology for legal clarifications. I’m not sure if everyone can see the Note I posted on Facebook about this, but here’s the link to the note: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?created&&note_id=10150579354345235#!/notes/sherry-fraser-snider/alabama-citizens-support-hb-104/10150579354345235 It gives […]

We at Belly Acres have become quite fascinated by shopdogsam’s YouTube videos, especially his cooking videos.  With Easter fast approaching, we HAD to try these deep fried boiled eggs. So, the verdict?  We LOVE shopdogsam’s videos.  …battered, deep fried, hard boiled eggs?  …not so much.  Give ’em a shot if you want.  It was certainly […]

Sweet!  Most public libraries have been offering downloadable ebooks and audiobooks for several years now.  The main problems have been device compatibility and interface/format.  Now, it looks like Amazon is bringing Kindle into the equation.   Again, sweet!  See the article on Mashable, here –>Amazon to Bring Ebook Lending to Local Libraries. We’ll have to wait […]

So, a lot of folks are responding differently to the iPhone tracking feature.  It seems that the iPhone logs locations (without telling it to) either through GPS or passively through cell tower triangulation.  The data is also stored in iPhone backups when you sync it to your computer.  See iSpy Conspiracy: Your iPhone Is Secretly […]

Oh, this just HAS to go to the top of the Easter activities list!  Fun!!!

I love playing with the dog.  I love watching the dog play with his toys.  What I can’t believe is that his favorite TOY is a $1.50 microfiber hand-shaped cleaning mitt from the Dollar General Store.  

Well, maybe not “define,” but I do think our favorite childhood books influence us throughout life.  Apparently, FlavorWire does, too.  Read the article, here. Of course, FlavorWire’s is not a comprehensive list.  (That could be a book by itself.)  I did find a couple of things interesting, though. 1.  My Favorite on the List. The […]

Will my next computer be a really, REALLY, old one?  …sort of? Honestly, I thought the NYTimes was pulling my leg on this one, but Commodore USA REALLY is marketing a new Commodore 64.  They’re going with the very early AND latest trend of all-in-one desk-saving boxes with the retro look of the original Commodore […]

No Shutdown images are flying all over Facebook, but this one is my absolute favorite.
