Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
My company sent this message out to employees yesterday and I thought it was such a good summary of how to protect yourself against phishing that I should share it. I've been very lucky over the years to avoid viruses and almost all malware and phishing. A lot of that is due to me being... Continue Reading →
First, for my fellow crazy cat lovers, a recommendation: Sweet Prince works for Petco corporate and brought me this self contained packet for grass seeds for the cats. Let me tell you, they LOVE it! And? it was remarkably easy to grow. I planted the seeds in the bag just before new years. Within a... Continue Reading →

Yes, I know, I may be the only person other than someone who still works there (and gets to go on spa weekends) to actually LOVE AIG. But you see, it's because they bought 21st century insurance this year. And I have loved 21st century since they were, well, 20th century! Seriously, ex#2 found 20th... Continue Reading →
