More BBC

We have discovered two more BBC shows that arewonderful:

  • Hu$tle = a show about con artist that is delightfully fun and funny
  • The Last Detective - Fun show about a detective who is a sweetie pie among a bunch of aggressive cops.  Cute fun show with good mysteries.

Verizon Is Bullying Again....Ho Hum

Earlier today, we got a call informing us that Verizon was forcing us to replace the line we have running up to our house with fiber optic.  When I asked if we had a choice, they said we could stop being a Verizon customer so we contacted Comcast.  We could have saved literally hundreds of dolars if we had switched awhile ago!!   Starting next week, our 3 business lines and 2 DSLs will now be Comcast along with our home phone.  Oh well...so much for Verizon trying to get us to switch to FIOS!!  And they will be out of  $350 of payments each month to their company!!

Benefits to Defoliation

Making lemonade out of lemons, benefits to having your trees defoliated by inchworms:

  • Fewer leaves to rake when fall arrives
  • Able to plant colorful sun-loving flowers in areas usually in the shade
  • If we have hurricanes, there is less chance of trees coming down
  • More sunlight to make colorful prism oatterns in all of our rooms (this is usually true only in the winter)

Inchworms Everywhere


We have been plagued by inch worms this spring - literally. All over our cars, our house and they have defoliated our trees. No shade this summer for the entire yard!
