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.





Fire, electricity and stupid people

by

We had quite the scare yesterday. I plan on writing out the full details on my main blog Tricia’s Musings sometime later today but I’ll just tell you it involved fire and electricity, neighbors stupid people!

Remember how I was mentioning we had a really bad storm here in Toronto early last week and that trees fell down and crushed houses in our general neighborhood but luckily not on our block? Well it appears that the tree next door to us might have had a bit of damage.

Just to summarize a branch fell on the power line that was under the tree. The power box is right there too beside the power line and the branch got zapped by the electric wire. Neighbors all round were outside staring at the flames but were too stupid to call 911!

I called 911 and got the fire department and police to come and check out the problem. Meanwhile the electric box attached to the wire exploded!

The neighbor who owns the tree is our Karaoke neighbors and they were terrified and stayed in their house. Right … there’s a fire in the tree that’s hanging over my house and I’m going to stay inside? No way!

Anyway, I’ll give a full account on my other site at some point later in the day. It was a bit of excitement that got the adrenaline pumping!

Need to book a hotel room for your upcoming vacation?

by

Planning a holiday or going on a business trip? If you want to save some money you should visit cheaperthanhotels.co.uk. The site has listings for over 30,000 hotels in 130 countries worldwide. It would be almost impossible to not find a hotel on this site.

Another thing that I like about this site is that you can view it in 8 European languages. The prices of the hotel rooms can also be viewed in the countries currency. See the Cheap Hotels in Sweden for an example.

You can book hotel rooms in advance, up to a year in advance if I’m not mistaken, or you can search for last minute deals.

When you are viewing the site in search of a hotel room in a particular city you can sort the search results by location, star rating, price, hotel name, and by last minute deals and year round accommodation. Once you click on a hotel you’ll not only learn more about the type of rooms available, but you’ll also be able view photos of the hotel and the hotel rooms.

There are listings for hostels, usually priced by bed, and serviced apartments.

Visit the site and check out the great prices for yourself.

Head hung low

Aquilegia

This isn’t the best photo that I’ve ever taken but I do love this flower. It’s a columbine or Aquilegia. Sometimes this flower is also called a honeysuckle but that’s a misnomer.

Isn’t it pretty? I love the pale mauve and the way the flower hangs it’s head.

I grow this beautiful flower in my garden. It’s a spring bloomer. Here in Toronto it blooms usually by mid May or so, and by this time of June it’s foliage is dying down and disappearing. In a little while you’d almost never know the plant was there.

Luckily it’s not really like that

surgery

Would it be scary if I told you that sometimes, with some doctors, working in a hospital seems just like this cartoon?

Actually most of the doctors I’ve worked with the in the ER and the doctors from special services like surgery, cardiology, orthopedics and so on are all excellent doctors .. but one or two come to mind when I think of docs I wouldn’t want to have care for me!

I guess every workplace is like this … there’s always one or two employees who manage to keep their jobs despite their lack of skill. It’s just really bad when it’s a doctor or nurse!
