We all can drink more water… Why not drink it from a Stanley Mug in a yummy color? This one has a large handle and some nice properties. Besides the yummy color, the mugs are insulated, keeping your water cool and refreshing. The yummy color mug is made of recycled materials, which is a great sustainability factor. Pick your favorite color! If you use my link, I get a little something for bringing it to your attention and you still get it at the right price. AND… Look at all the features of this mug: Hydrate in style!

Ace Magician Windows PC is small and powerful. The space it takes up is about the same as a book on it’s edge. It does not require a stand of any kind as it is shaped like a tent. The setup was semi-automatic. I did have to download and install the drivers so I could connect to Bluetooth devices. This part is not obvious, and not recommended for noobies. Every other part of getting up and running under Windows 11 was painless. It is quiet, colorful, and runs fast with the Ryzen 6900 processor. My favorite part is the no-screw access to the inside.

I recently discovered that you can wash clothes with magnets! I have had a skin irritation that has an unknown cause and I am trying to eliminate possible environmental issues. One possible irritant is soap or detergent. Rather than purchase soap that was safer and free of allergens, I decided the magnet choice was better. I ordered the magnets from the company through Amazon. So far… my clothes are clean and soap-free. This eliminated one more allergen from my experience. If you are sensitive to chemicals, or just want less of them in your life, give these a try. I placed them on opposite sidesRead More →

Have you ever looked at something and say, wow, why didn’t I think of that? OR, why didn’t I see this sooner? With the holidays coming and lights needed everywhere, you can never have enough plugs and extension cords! I wonder why the extensions do not have the grounding plug. Most of my electrical things have plugs with the grounding plug. My favorite brilliant idea product was made in 2001. It worked so well. Unfortunately, I cannot locate it to purchase more. Have you seen this? Master Manufacturing Co. in Cleveland, OH made it then. Now it is listed as Master Caster Cord Away SelfRead More →

Mask mandates are creating a level of difficulty in my relationship with my closest friend, who happens to be half-deaf. She reads lips, mine, to understand what I am saying. When we are out together, she relies on me to listen to masked retail clerks and wait staff and then help her to understand. When I am masked, I lower my mask, tell her what was said and raise up my mask, so the others will not chastise me for that action. We recently took a trip to Wyoming and Montana, and there were no mask rules. They still suggested we maintain a safe distanceRead More →

Sometimes you might want the screensaver not to come on and you don’t want to manage it by nudging it every few moments. Did you know the placing the mouse on top of a watch with a second hand does that nudging for you? The optical mouse detects the movement and the screensaver does not get activated. Optical mice are watching the movement below them!
