Did you hear about the pig in Australia that was holding a woman captive in her home for 10 days?  She had an outhouse (an outside bathroom for those of you who don’t know what that is) and couldn’t even go out to the bathroom without this 176 pound pig attacking her.  The 63 year old woman is an animal lover and said the pig they called ‘Bruce’ kept head butting her bedroom door demanding to be fed.

Okay, I love animals too.  I especially love pork Bar-b-que and bacon.  No animal is going to keep me held hostage in my home.  Not even an animal I raised and loved.  I’m sorry but it would have been taken care of one way or another.  It wasn’t even her pig.  It wandered on to her property 11 days earlier.  The animal was finally captured and taken to a piggery where he will do a stint as a stud.  I still think the woman should have at least gotten some bacon for her misery.

I have gotten more health conscious lately and have been looking for more healthy cooking tips.  As you age, you realize you need to eat better than you did when you were a kid.  As a teenager, a healthy meal was something or anything you could get your hands on quick.  Well as you age, you realize you need more than just something to fill your stomach.  You need something healthy too.  Not to mention, you have to watch those calories or you’ll end up getting bigger and bigger.  No one wants that.

Because of all of that, I found this site to be very helpful and has some great ways to cook in a much healthier way so if you’re with me on this one, check this site out and it just might be as helpful to you as it was to me.

My oldest son is trying to save some money and decided to try and find some cheap auto insurance that also gave good coverage. Unfortunately cheap auto insurance usually means that you also get cheap coverage but not this time.  They have comparable coverage to more expensive insurance companies.  One thing I like is that you can choose your payment and coverage too.  That makes it a bargain that you know exactly what you’re getting.

How is it that companies come up with the names of their products?  Well they hire a linguist major to look at the syntax, semantics, phonetics and all the other components that make up the names of new products.  Now how neat is that?  I always wondered what kind of job a linguist would be able to get and now I know.  Pretty neat, huh?

I thought they had something to do with teaching kids to speak properly that maybe had a lisp or something like that.  They might do that too but the other job is pretty neat too don’t you think?  You know me, I’m all for education and believe that you can never have enough.  That’s the one thing no one can take away from you.  Well no one but you and your own mind that is.

I have had my laptop for about a year now.  I thought I had plenty of memory when I got it but now I really need to buy memory because I’m running out.  I take my laptop with me everywhere I go now.  I thought I would use it more for school work but I have found that I use it for everything from sorting my recipes to anything else you can imagine.  I’m so glad I found these guys because I can buy more internal memory or one of those neat memory sticks as I call them.  You know, the ones that go into your USB port.  Pretty neat and awfully handy.
