Blue Moon – New Year’s Eve
A blue moon happens when the the lunar cycle results in two full moons in the same calendar month. So how often does a blue moon occur? It actually happens less than once a year and, more specifically, a blue moon happens approximately 3 times in every 4 years.

Window Dressing
In my view, there’s nothing that can dress up a home, condo or an apartment like plant life. It’s really amazing how trees, shrubs and flowers can liven up a room or completely make a home go from looking okay to looking just awesome.
Well, window boxes are just one item that can really dress up [...]
Math – HELP!
Well, I remember my school days well. I have to be honest: math was alway one of my better subjects but I found it boring and not exciting at all. Fortunately, it came naturally enough where I didn’t need to study that frequently. I credit that “ease” of learning to my teachers. They did a great job of explaining the step by step in the classroom.
Lou Lous Corner Store
Well, just when you thought you’ve already reached the end of the internet, you find something new. Now, I admitt that I’m very weak in the area of fashion and clothing but I’m trying to get better! I have kids and I know how ruthless some children can be when someone is “out of fashion”. So, I decided to look for some new clothes for kids and I came accross Lou Lous Corner.
Planters
I was at a family Christmas celebration and my wife’s aunt just had a ton of planters growing all kinds of plants. She had herbs, peppers, trees, and flowers.

Gold, Gold, Gold!!!
Well, let’s break it down. When people believe the economy is in danger or at risk, they buy gold. Personally, I find that somewhat amusing but I’m not an expert, apparently.

However, the dollar remained valuable because everyone believed in it.
Translation Network
It’s amazing but one of the most amazing advances in human history is language. Can’t you imagine what would happen if we weren’t able to communicate? It would be barbaric! Consider the grunting and pointing! Well, ironically, it doesn’t get much better when you meet someone that speaks a different language. There are thousands of languages and variations of language throughout the world. I’ve read that there are over six thousand languages in the world. Consider that just over 200 are spoken in Europe while over 2ooo are spoken in Asia. At least this is what is reported by the Linguistic Society of America.

Lovely Myrtle Beach
You know it’s approaching Christmas and people are making all kinds of plans. Some are looking for a white Christmas and some are traveling miles and miles to visit with family on vacation. There are times, however, when you need a vacation from those types of vacations. Myrtle Beach isn’t quite as far south as South Beach but there are good deals, relatively mild weather and great opportunities for considering Myrtle Beach Golf Vacations.
