The Ortho Evra Patch

by

I don’t know if you or someone you care about it using the ortho evra patch, but there’s been a number of women who’ve used the patch in the past who have ended up having side effects as a result.

You can read more about the side effects by visiting this information page: Ortho Evra Lawsuit – Birth Control Patch. This link will take you to a page where you will get more information, and also be asked a few simple screening questions to determine if you are at risk, or if you might need medical treatment or legal assistance.

Hopefully, if you have used Ortho Evra in the past or even presently you have not experienced any adverse side effects. I just wanted to get the word out about the potential problems with this form of birth control as I believe it’s important to be informed about medication that you might be taking.





Cardinals and butterflies

by

I can’t believe it. You know what I saw in my garden yesterday afternoon? A cardinal!

I saw one once before, maybe two years ago, but not since then.

It’s so nice to know that my lovely garden is attracting all kinds of wildlife that we don’t normally see in the middle of such a big city.

Looking out at the garden today I’ve seen at least three different monarch butterflies buzzing around all the flowers. They are so pretty!

Now, I must get some photos of these creatures if I can. Last year I hunted down a butterfly for days that was hanging out around my Rose of Sharon tree. Every time I brought out the camera the butterfly flew away as if it knew I was trying to take it’s photo. I did eventually get a few great shots of it though.

Now to do it again.

Get a Beach Cruiser of your own

by

I would absolutely love to have one of these beach bikes. Don’t you just love the look of them?

The bikes are just simple one speed bikes but their design makes them great for riding – especially on sandy beaches.

I’ve actually been a fan of Beach Cruisers for a while now but I’ve yet to purchase one. However, looking at their 2007 line up of bikes I might just take the plunge and get a new bike.

There are so many different styles it’s mind boggling.

I love the low rider beach bike that is shown on the 2007 bike line up page. It looks so cool! You can get beach cruiser bikes for women, men, stick to the classic beach cruiser line, or show off your appreciation of design and style by getting one of their chopper cruisers.

If you want a bike for racing these bikes probably aren’t for you. They are designed for leisure riding. That’s why I think they’d be perfect for one of my favorite types of biking adventures.

You see, here in Toronto we have a fantastic beach area. There’s a boardwalk and bike bath that runs along Lake Ontario in the West downtown core of the city. It’s a lovely area, and because it’s so crowded you can’t really race along on a bike.

Since these bikes are designed to be ridden on slightly rough terrain like a sandy beach they’d be perfect because there is a large beach area beside Toronto’s board walk too.

The bikes are priced reasonably too. That low rider that I pictured above is only $155 dollars, and the yellow womans beach cruiser that I showed above and linked to is only $95. I’d actually swear that the prices have gone down since I last looked at this website. Even better if they did.

The bikes are shipped 80% assembled so there won’t be much work for you to do once your new bike arrives. They ship using FedEx and they do ship worldwide so no matter where you are you could be a proud owner of a beach cruiser.

Stalker neighbor, power outages and battery clocks!

by

I think I’ve mentioned my neighbor Sofie before on this site. She’s my elderly neighbor that I call my stalker because she’s constantly knocking on my door or following me around the garden or worst of all staring at me from her window as I work on my desktop computer.

Thankfully I have a laptop now so I can hide from her sometimes!

Well … lately we seems to have a lot of small power outages. I’ve actually noticed that this has been happening at about 6 a.m most days. Most of the time the outage is so fast it doesn’t knock out our clocks or anything else, but early this morning I guess it was a fraction of a second long enough to mess with our electric clocks.

When our clocks go out so do the neighbors! Arghhh … Sofie hasn’t banged on our door yet to reset her clocks but she will. I know she will.

One of our electric digital clocks has batteries in it and even if a power outage is a few hours long it will say the correct time when the power comes on. We’ve spoken to our neighbors family about getting her some of these clocks. They aren’t expensive so I have no idea why they haven’t yet.

I’m at the point now where if they don’t buy her a clock today or tomorrow I’m going to go out and buy her two and give them the bill. Gas and time expenses included!

Why do some families not take care of their elderly relatives properly? I’m certain it’s their lack of care causing her to fixate on us .. me .. so much.

Messy Garage? Get organized

by

If you have a garage attached to your house you might appreciate the many products that are being sold at Carguygarage.com. You know how almost ever garage gets disorganized at some point? Well this site sells all the latest products in garage organization amongst many other items.

If your garage is so full that you can barely fit your car inside you’d better take a look at this site. They have everything from racks that will allow you to hang bikes from the wall, to cabinets and workbenches for those that use their garage as a workplace, or to store their tools.

We don’t actually have a garage. We barely even have a driveway! You can’t drive down our driveway … it’s only 10 feet or so wide and we only own half the driveway.

Even so, there are still items on this site that I would purchase such as the garden hose and cord reels. I mean, I’m a gardening nut and I hate having my hose just lying in a tangled pile! One of the hose reels even has four wheels on it so you could push your whole hose out to where you need to use it! I like that.

Check out the site. I’m sure you’ll find some products that will help you get your garage organized.
