I am so thankful for the Internet and all that is has to offer everyone these days, I can’t imagine life without my laptop and I’m so ever grateful for email, the best thing to come out of the Internet, in my opinion.

I do everything online, my banking, my checking, my bills, most of my purchasing, it is all done on my laptop and email keeps me in touch with all the family members and friends from all over the world. I have several pals over seas doing their time in the military and I get some strange calls showing up on my Caller I.D. at times, but mainly we keep in touch with emails and I love each and every one that I hear from.

Your Yearly Dementia Test

It’s that time of year to take our annual senior citizen test.
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it’s important to keep mentally alert. If you don’t use it, you lose it! Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.
Take the test presented here to determine if you’re losing it or not.
OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.
1. What do you put in a toaster?

Answer: ‘bread.’ If you said ‘toast,’ give up now and do something else.
Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, bread, go to Question 2.

 2. Say ’silk’ five times. Now spell ’silk.’ What do cows drink?

Answer: Cows drink water. If you said ‘milk,’ don’t attempt the next question. Your brain is over-stressed and may even overheat. Content yourself with reading a more appropriate literature such as Auto World. However, if you said ‘water’, proceed to question 3.

3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks , what is a green house made from? 

Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said ‘green bricks,’
why the hell are you still reading these???
If you said ‘glass,’ go on to Question 4.

4. It’s twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany .) Anyway, during the flight, two engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of ‘no man’s land’ between East Germany and West Germany . Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany , West Germany , or no man’s land’?

Answer: You don’t bury survivors.
If you said ANYTHING else, you’re a dunce and you must stop. If you said, ‘You don’t bury survivors’, proceed to the next question.

5. Without using a calculator – You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales . In London , 17 people get on the bus. In Reading , six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Sweden, two people get off and four get on . In Cardiff , 11 people get off and 16 people get on . In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven.
What was the name of the bus driver?

Answer: Oh, for crying out loud!
Don’t you remember your own name? It was YOU!!
PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions!!

Credit Card Offers need to be checked out thoroughly before signing on the dotted line in today’s world. A good place to find information on different credit card offers and companies is provided on line at CardHub.com. I have found it to be a valuable tool in my search for a credit card that I can use specifically for gasoline purchases. One that will provide me with some type of reward each time I use it, and with as many trips as we take to the gas stations these days, I should be able to rack up some nice cash back or rebates if I take my time and educate myself with the numerous credit card companies that are just begging for my business.Once I clicked on & selected each category option preference that was provided me on this site, it narrowed the search down to 18 different types of cards being offered for me to review. It certainly was a pretty easy process, for someone who knows what they are looking for, such as myself. Visa, Discover, Master Card, American Express, all have offers right now, and I finally decided on going with the Citi Professional Card with the Thank You Network, Master Card, that offers a variety of rewards, that will make me a satisfied consumer each time I use the card at gas stations, restaurants, rental cars, and office supply businesses.

So if you are interested in finding a good credit card offer, this really is a brilliantly set up web-site, and be sure you check out the Editor’s Picks while you are at it. Please note that CardHub.com has worked hard to put all this information together for your convenience, but they do not guarantee the accuracy of the information listed, and that they urge you to go to the credit card companies web-site and double check on the information before applying, good information to know before hand, wouldn’t you say!

I just love reading books about the numerous Native American histories, my bookcase is full of ones that I’ve already read and am always looking for new ones to read. I was lucky and found one today at my favorite used book store called “Black Elk Speaks” as told through John G. Neihardt (Flaming Rainbow) by Nicholas Black Elk. It is named one of the ten best spiritual books of the twentieth century. It is the story of the famous Lakota visionary and healer Nicholas Black Elk (1863-1950) and his people during the momentous twilight years of the nineteenth century. I’m looking forward to reading it starting tomorrow.

When I first moved into my new home, it was cable ready, but I knew from the start that I would prefer to subscribe to a satellite company instead, which I switched to immediately after all of the final paperwork was signed, and everything said and done, in the closing of the house. For the most part I have been happy with satellite, it has been just recently that I noticed an increase on my monthly bill and due to a lot of the high winds that we have been experiencing here, I have lost our signal a whole lot more than usual.The main issue I have right now is the selection on movies that they have to offer as of late, on their Pay Per View Movies, the last couple of times that I have wanted to just kick back and order a movie just by clicking a few buttons on the remote, their hasn’t been much of a selection that I find appealing enough to order. Guess there is enough blame to go around though, because it seems that the movie industry has not been releasing the type of movies that I seem to enjoy. Don’t get me wrong, there has been a few that I have enjoyed during these last summer evenings, maybe the up and coming Fall & Winter releases will be more to our tastes.
