Shopping Scandal

The last few months have been, so far, the toughest of my life.   I appreciate the support of so many friends and customers that remained supportive through my long silence.  Spindle cell sarcoma is a rare, tough, highly malignant tumor that is a model of resistance to chemotherapy. When found in a limb, early amputation may be life-saving. When found on the chest wall, it grows quietly and invades nearby tissues, and is often found in large size. Then the bone destruction and pain begins. This was the case of my father who, after a fall, was thought to have multiple rib fractures. We soon learned the fractures were not from the fall, but it was a sarcoma gnawing away on his ribs.  It took that painful monster only 6 months to take my Dad away.  Nobody deserves a sarcoma, much less my father, a man of his home and family. A man who only worked tirelessly his whole life for his family, who helped everybody beyond his means and lived below his means, and who reg...

Scents bring feelings and memories. It's wired in our brains: the brain zones dedicated to emotions and scents are very close together! A scented candle can create an ambience filled with warm and cozy feelings, great smooth energy and relaxation. It's another dimension of decor! Thus, the gift of candles is one of feelings and memories. What a better time of the year than the holidays to evoke the spirit of Christmas and long time family and friends memories?! These candles will help set the tone for a fireside conversation, dinner, get-together or just relaxing on your own. Here are some candles with the scents we associate with Christmas holidays. Below you will find other scents that will make a great holiday gift - particularly for those that have everything else or those you want to give the gift of memories and warm, cozy feelings....whether it's winter or summer or spring. These candles have other scents of the sea, cotton, fresh linen, coffee, lav...

  It's Christmas time!! And it's time to get a classic Christmas tree! Some of us like them natural, with the typical scent of Christmas...but, for me, it's more practical to get an artificial tree.  Artificial trees can be reused year after year, lowering the overall cost of Christmas celebrations. You can store them away easily and use different ornaments each year for variation, if we want a different look each year. You don't have to water an artificial Christmas tree, you won't have to vacuum the falling needles and the vast majority are flame-retardant.  Also, you won't trigger anybody's allergies and you don't have to worry about mold or bugs in them. If you want to have the scent of Christmas in your home, there are candles that can do the job!  Here are some gorgeous trees. Some are pre-lit, so you don't have to buy separate lights for them.        Outdoor lights have become part of the tradition. They can be simple lights ...

Smart TVs are here to stay. Start TVs are television sets that use the power of the internet to provide regular programming as well as free or paid streaming services like Hulu, Amazon Prime, Netflix and Youtube and other general or specialized movie, music or live programming.  You can also choose when to view your favorite programming (e.g. video on demand).  They already have the flat screen we all love, plus high-definition or even 4k level definition visual resolution..plus internet...a dream come true that allows us all to have all of our entertainment "needs" in a single electronic equipment.  Some can be controlled through Alexa....or directly using voice or gestures, or by touching or "writing" on the screen with a "pen".  Yes, smart TVs are a sophisticated piece of electronics, but they have become affordable. Depending on the size of the screen and the features you want it to have, you can expect to pay anywhere from less than 100 dollars to ov...

Laptops have very tiny, delicate components that deform or melt when the computer's temperature rises.  Overheating may happen when you use your computer to the limits of its capacity...like trying to play a game with complex graphics on an Pentium. When vents are blocked. Or when the computer is getting old.  Your laptop may become slow, you may be unable to open more than a few programs (maybe only 1!) at a time, freeze, or, in the worst cases, it may just shut down and reboot at the peak temperature.  And one day..it may stop working...its little circuits will have melted! So we must do all possible to keep laptops happily cool.  If you notice your laptop is hot to touch, suddenly shutting down or getting slow...get it checked and cleaned. The usual culprit is dust clogging the vents. Cleaning it will restore at least some of venting capacity and prolong your laptop's life.  Never put your laptop over a blanket or anything else that blocks its vents. ...

 Dreamy eyes, huh?! I know the feeling!  Gaming computers (whether laptop or desktop types) make awesome Christmas gifts. Honestly speaking, they make great gifts at any time of the year! But what better time thank Christmas to get a powerful monster machine that allows smooth, efficient gaming for yourself or someone you love? Nothing more frustrating than a weak computer that doesn't let you play your favorite games. This can happen when the computer is not powerful enough, or when your computer is getting old and it's slowing down (maybe due to heat or excess use...all things age!).  Great graphic cards and plenty of RAM (best if 16 or more) are key elements...but a powerful processor (at least Ryzen 5 or Intel i5 is best). As for the graphic card, everybody dreams of an NVIDIA GE Force 3080, but that's needed when you want to play in 4k resolution; if you're happy with 1080 you don't need such a gigantic, expensive graphic card.  Also remember if you're buyi...

 The original St Nicholas (Santa Claus) suit was tan or brown ; he was a Bishop of Greek descent that  worked mostly in Turkey. He is regarded as the patron saint of children, merchants, students and others. For the many things he did as one of the earliest Christian saints, including resurrecting three kids that had been pickled in brine, he was called the "wonderworker". He also had the habit of secretly leaving gifts for people. This habit gave rise to the legendary character of Sinterklaas (in the Netherlands and Germany) and St Nicholas, Papa Noel, or Santa Claus in the rest of Europe, where he wears a blue suit . The red suit version is attributed to Thomas Nast, a Bavarian-born American artist, working for Harper's Weekly in the United States. He first depicted Santa in 1863, in sepia colors, but in 1881 he depicted Santa with a red suit for the first time. Nast is now known is regarded the father of American Cartoonists, not only for his Santa depiction, but also...

Here are some gorgeous comforters of different design styles. Each photo is followed by a link to Society6 post by an independent artist. But let's see first... Every now and then we all feel like giving our home a new look and feel and comforters are large pieces that we don't change often. An average comforter, statistics show, lasts 10-15 years and many people have them as a cherished bedroom decor item. However, there are many reasons to change a comforter earlier than the expected time.     Japanese Edo Period Six-Panel Gold Leaf Screen - Spring and Autumn Flowers Comforters     Restless sleepers and people who sleep on their side tend to wear their comforters and other bedding items earlier than others. In general, comforters tend to wear off on the top border, where we place our arms.  If there are kids or pets in the house, and they're allowed to jump into the bed now and then, that also shortens the lifespan of a comforter.    If you sleep o...

  Skateboarding is a fun activity for everybody...and summer is the ideal time to be outdoors and get on the boards! It's a great way to get muscles fit and the heart pumping - magnificent aerobic exercise! - and a formal sport that will show up in the Olympic Games for the first time in 2021 in Tokyo! It's an action sports type, so one must learn gradually..and that's why some boards are designed for kids or beginners and some for more experienced (or even professional) skateboarders. The acrobatics are amazing and, therefore, a helmet and pads (for elbows and knees) are very highly recommended. I have gathered here some of the most popular skateboards and helmets in Amazon, with ratings of 4.0 or higher (mostly close to the maximum of 5.0) by at least 2000 and up to over 9000 happy owners of these skateboards. I;ve also listed some of the most popular, best-selling designs in Zazzle...featuring unique art by independent artists. Zazzle also has a blank skateboard...
