Antique Coffee Grinders: For Sale on eBay

Doug — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 16:04:28 +0000

In our family, we’ve always enjoyed a good cup of coffee. In fact, if a family legend were to be believed, my great grandmother was reputed to be one of the finest coffee makers this side of the great lakes. People who had ever taster a cup of her freshly brewed coffee would often relate the tale of taste to their family, till the tales were carried down across the generations. So when great grand mother passed away at the ripe old age of ninety two, all of us were understandably unhappy.

Ansel Adams Posters: For Sale on eBay

Doug — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 01:47:05 +0000

Looking at my Ansel Adams poster, I am reminded of my last trip to the mountains. I’m not a mountain climber – I have a serious muscular illness which prevents me from being able to properly exert my upper body strength. But still, I have always looked to the mountains with a kind of love and longing. I’ve been blown away by their magnificence since I was 13 years old. I was raised in the Midwest, hundreds of miles from the nearest mountain range, and never saw them until my parents bought an Ansel Adams poster and put it up in the living room.

Address Stamps: A Real Time Saver

Doug — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:53:09 +0000

It makes sense to shave even seconds off our busy days, eliminating unnecessary steps wherever possible. The time we waste is not only money lost, it is exhaustion added to our already weary working souls. In the waitperson’s world, for instance, the head waiter or waitress will teach them to “save their steps” by always having something in hand when returning to the kitchen or re-entering the dining area, always picking up a breadbasket or plates on the way to the kitchen or bringing the coffeepot along when returning to the tables. Otherwise, waiters and waitresses would have doubly sore feet and muscles at the end of a shift.

4 Season Tents: A Waste of Money?

Doug — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:18:52 +0000

There is no need to get 4 season tents for gentle summer camping. Even if there is a heavy downpour, the use of sleeping pads combined with adequate planning should keep everything fairly dry. The important thing is to not camp at the bottom of a hill, to make sure the rain fly is secure, and to take advantage of natural cover. But, a four season tent can be a nice thing to have for extreme conditions, and if you have the money to spend on one, it is a luxury that can really improve your camping experience.

Desk Lamps: Making the Right Choice

Doug — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 13:02:36 +0000

Sooner or later, office lighting is always an issue in a workspace. From the floor lamp at your home office to the fluorescent lighting in your place of work, having the right light fixtures can make a huge difference in your productivity and comfort. For my part, I have spent a lot of time looking for the perfect desk lamp in the past. I used to have a simple executive desk lamp, and I liked the light that provided, but it was a little bit old and battered. When I decided to replace it, I wanted to make a change. I figure that it was an excellent time to redecorate my home office, so I bought a new desktop toy and a desk lamp that was different from the one I had always used. The desk toy was pretty straightforward –One of those doodads with the clanking balls. The desk light was also somewhat classic. After thinking about it carefully, I opted for a Tiffany desk lamp.

Baby Slings: Bringing Mommy & Baby Together in Comfort

Doug — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 02:08:32 +0000

New parents sometimes feel like there is nothing they can do to get close enough to their new baby. Babies must be close to caregivers at all times, but most trudge around with various types of car seats and other carriers that limit what they can do, and limit how much they can hold their child while they are out. Even the smallest babies can get heavy when carried in the arms for a long time. This is why so many love to get baby slings when they have a baby. Not only can they be close, they can have their hands free as well.
