If obesity is a problem for you, check the JourneyLite website for one option
I have had a serious weight problem all my life. Fortunately, if I get on the ball and keep my calories down and get off my recliner to walk or do other exercise regularly, I’m able to control it — somewhat. But many of the people reading this have struggled with lifetime obesity and really [...]
I thought peanut butter was the perfect food — but peanut allergies rise
From my earliest memories back in the 1950s (yes, I am that old), I remember eating peanut butter. Of course, peanut butter wasn’t my first food, but it had to have been an early addition to my diet. I can clearly remember as a very young pre-schooler enjoying a treat with my Mom: She would [...]
If you need ID cards or badges, for ID printers and supplies check this website
If you’ve got a “real world” or “brick and mortar” business, chances are good you need ID badges and have some concerns about employee ID and security you have to deal with regularly. If none of this applies to you, today’s “Useful Website” won’t be of as much interest.
But if you require ID badges for [...]
Wow, what happened? Another year slipped by so quickly — Happy New Year!
No getting around it, time goes by faster when you get older. I’ve heard about some psychological studies that have been done on our perceptions of time and the passage of time. It makes sense, what I’ve read — the older you get, the quicker time seems to pass because a month, for example, represents [...]
Need a business loan? This website may be what you’re looking for

Hey, who wouldn’t love this year’s Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow?
I was just reading a story about the sort of “hero worship” aura surrounding Tim Tebow, the University of Florida quarterback who won the 2007 Heisman Trophy. (If you’re not a football fan or not a college football fan, you’ll have to indulge me. And why in the heck AREN’T you a fan??)
Who couldn’t love [...]
Another “Useful Website” — great heaters add a cozy warmth to your house this winter
Ah, yes, the great ice storm of 2007 — those of us who lived through it without electric power for days really would’ve appreciated one of the cozy looking gas infrared heaters at this “Useful Website,” because the one and only heat source we had, uh, didn’t — heat, that is.
But that was last January. [...]
Why can’t the U.S. provide health care for all citizens from cradle to grave?
According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report dated June 21, 2000, the U.S. has the 37th best health care system in the world. That report shows us below small nations and some large, industrialized ones. We beat out Cuba (39) and we were way ahead of China (144). But the highly industrialized nations [...]
Odd zoo story — director admits tiger’s enclosure fence was too low
I suppose I must applaud the honest of San Francisco Zoo Director Manuel A. Mollinedo — he told a press conference yesterday that the wall surrounding the tiger’s enclosure was lower than “industry recommendations.”
It’s not only disturbing news to hear, it could open the zoo, I suppose, to some serious civil action, i.e., lawsuits, from [...]
Need some church photos? A directory or fundraiser? Here’s a useful website for you
It’s no secret if you hang around this blog awhile that I’m a “church guy” — much of my life has been spent in one kind of church or another. I used to be quite a fundamentalist, but now I would identify myself as much more “mainline” about my faith. But that’s another story for [...]
