Remembering To Send Thank You Cards

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

There is a bit of a missing piece these days when it comes to manners. I have noticed that people seem to have gotten out of the habit of sending thank you cards to people after holidays or parties. I used to have to write them out the same day as my party or the next day if it had gotten too late at night. When it came to Christmas or any other gift giving holiday, we were always required to write them and send them in no more than one week that followed that special day. I hope this is not a lost art.

He Rues the Day He Ever Said That

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

When I was dating my husband, he used to give me a lot of grief. He thought that I didn’t do enough and that I should get a useful hobby. I have laughed many times in the years since then as this statement has really come back to bite him many a time. I’d have to say that I’m pretty much a crazy crafter. I’ve done everything from votive candle making to scrapbooking to embroidery and I have the supplies to show for that. I am constantly working on something with so much junk around that I’m sure he sometimes rues the day those words ever left his lips.

My wife and I both lost our jobs in the month of June. June was a very tough month for the two of us. Not only did we lose our jobs, but we also had to sell our car and our house.

Changing Your Name After Marriage

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Are you planning on changing your name once you finally tie the knot? If you decide to do so, there are so many options. Do you hyphenate, keep your maiden name as your middle name, combine both names, or be traditional? Well whichever option you choose, the name change process can seem overwhelming. There are numerous forms to gather from many government agencies. You’ll need a social security form, US passport form, driver’s license form, voter registration form, IRS forms, forms to send to your employer, insurance company, utilities companies, and all organizations of which you are a member. Many brides put off the process and wait for months or even years to change their name. The process is really not that horrible. Once you gather your forms & complete them, most can be sent in through the mail. The only office you’ll need to visit in person is the motor vehicle department.

Polynesian tattoos come in many shapes, sizes and styles.  Some of the more common tribal styles are  Marquesan, Tahitian, Somoan, Maori and Hawaiian.  Bear in mind that almost every Polynsian island has its own style that reflects its culture and beliefs.  And, every tattoo artist puts his or her own personal touch into the Polynesian tattoo design.  A modern style which is highly detailed and uses single-needle outlines is one popular method used by traditional Polynesian tattoo artists.  Other artists rely on a more primitive style of inking that is directed at symbolism.  Choose a design and style that bests fits your personality and beliefs.  You want your tattoo to shine through with personality and dignity.

A Very Bad Performance

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

One time, I was watching a TV show that featured a young musician who plays a mark vi saxophone. He just recently recorded his first album and was so popular at that time. I was so amazed to see how well he play and that the music he make was so touching as if you were there right in front of him and feeling what he feels.

In the middle of his performance the music stopped, but he was still playing and was too late for him to realize that he has to stop as well, the people cheered despite the fact that performance was not a live one and to his shame, he just smiled and continue to pretend playing.
