Yonge Street

This weeks theme is Narrow

I took this photo last year just as a street festival was winding down in downtown Toronto. That’s why there’s people standing around and walking on this normally very busy street.

I love how you can see the rows of stores and office buildings far off in the distance and how the street gradually narrows.

Did you know that Yonge Street is the longest street in the world? It begins near the Lake Ontario in downtown Toronto, Ontario and goes right through the city and then through Ontario to the border of Manitoba as highway 11. It’s over 1,896 kilometres (1 178.12 miles) long!

Lost is back!

January 31, 2008 by Tricia

Well, as ticked off as I was about last nights season finale LOST recap I was totally pleased with this evenings first episode of the new season!

First of all it’s just nice to have a new show to watch again amid all the reruns that are airing! Even if I didn’t like Lost all that much I’d probably watch it since I’m sick to death of seeing reruns of shows that aired just a month or two ago! At least if the networks are going to show reruns during the writers strike go back to really old reruns that we might not remember quite as well. Please?

I really enjoyed seeing all of my favorite Lost characters again. I gotta tell you when Harley yelled out “I’m one of the Oceanic Six” as he was being arrested in “future Lost” it made me spend the rest of the show trying to figure out just which 6 ended up getting off the island. I think we’re supposed to assume that the rest of them died, but for some reason I think that maybe some of the crash survivors choose to stay on the island. Maybe that’s why Jack wants to go back?

I can’t wait for next weeks episode.

BTW it would have been a much better watching experience if my puppy wasn’t chewing on her humongous beef bone for the whole show!

Geez! She kept dragging her bone off her dog bed and onto the hardwood floor so that she could gnaw on it and when she does that on the floor it sounds like she’s gnawing on the wood!

Two hour lost repeat – Scrolling commentary???

January 30, 2008 by Tricia

Ok I’m happy that the powers that be decide to help us remember what happened on Lost at the end of the season last year with tonights two hour episode, but WTF is with the scrolling commentary at the bottom of the screen?

Does ABC think we’re children that can’t remember unless we read the really cheesy lines that are supposedly telling us what’s going on on screen?

It’s really distracting! I hate it!

Come on ABC … if we really couldn’t remember everything that happened in those last two episodes most of us could read recaps or even watch the complete shows online.

Did/does anyone else find the scrolling commentary terribly distracting? and cheesy?

She’s a mean drinker!

Wordless Wednesday

00033556

I love the look on this little girls face as she pours from the bottle. She’s probably just concentrating on the task, but she looks like she’s really mad!

Actually now that I take another look at the picture maybe her mom just told her to stop pouring! Either way she doesn’t look very happy does she?

Reminds me of a photo of myself when I was about 9 years old. I was sitting at a table in our home, dressed in a long gown that my mom had made and there was food in front of me. I remember the day the photo was taken and I was in a bad mood. My face shows it! I’ll have to see if I can dig that up.

I got free samples through mysavings.com

January 29, 2008 by Tricia

Do you remember about a month ago I told you about a site called mysavings.com where you could get Free Stuff? Well I’d like to tell you about my experience.

I spent some time on the site going through all the different free samples that I could send for. Of course I couldn’t request all of them because some of the free samples were only for those in the US. The Mysavings.com site did make it easy for me to search for free samples that I qualified for though as there are Country icons at the top of each page. I simply clicked on the Canadian flag and it brought up items that I could request.

I can’t remember all the items I requested but I do remember asking for a free sample of Greenies – a dog treat that’s good for their teeth and that I think freshens up dog breath, a sample or two of various dog foods, three different Oil of Olay products and a sample of Garnier Fructus Shampoo or conditioner. All of those samples have arrived with the exception of the dog food samples. I’m sure they’ll come. Some of the items that I was requesting clearly stated that the samples wouldn’t arrive for four to six weeks.

Another thing that I liked about the free sample section of the site is that you can search for items by major category or by using the search box. Once you find a free sample that you’d like to apply for you just click on the link and below the sample description and link to product site you’ll see a comment section where those that have also requested the item can talk about their experiences. I found this helpful because there were a few products that people stated they’d requested months before and the samples simply hadn’t arrived. That saved me time as I decided not to even bother trying to request those samples.

If you visit the site you’ll discover that you can get all kinds of free samples. There are free samples for baby or children’s products, pet products, automotive, beauty, health and makeup, college and students, magazines, home and garden, office supplies and more.

Mysavings.com isn’t just a site with links to offers for free samples. No, not by a long shot. You’ll also find free online coupons such as printable grocery coupons, coupon codes to use at online stores, and coupons for restaurants too.

They add new coupons and free samples weekly so it’s good to visit regularly. You’ll get to try samples of products that you’ve perhaps been thinking of buying and you can save a lot of money with all those coupons.

Visit mysavings.com today and see what free samples you can get or what coupons could save you money!
