Based on an advert for laser hair removal I read, I think we spend about a month shaving our legs. So on a blog post I wrote called "does laser hair removal really give you a month of free time?", I have challenged you to blog about how you spend your perfect month.
I can't wait to read the Buzz with your ideas and will give the Buzz I think is best $100 as a prize.
Hope you have as much fun thinking about it as I did.
Living with a mental illness can be hard, tiring and cruel. It can wear someone out down to their very soul, making them feel older than they really are. However, with treatment and, if needed, medications, a person with a mental illness has the potential to shed away that old before their time feeling.

Perhaps this is a wrong line of thinking, but I am learning that compared to other moods I have experienced, I actually like hypomania. I feel like over the past few weeks I felt every emotion under the sun. Mania. Hypomania. Mixed state. Depression. By far my favorite has been hypomania.
In a report put out by the Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility, “Environmental Threats to Healthy Aging”, the authors have indicated ways to reduce exposure to some of the toxicants in our every day lives.
I believe that we need a goal (motto) in life to keep us moving forward. Our mottos should embody everything we want out of life for ourselves. Join me as I discover my motto for life.
Recently, Darren Rowse from Problogger.net put up a challenge for bloggers.
It's pretty simple:
Write about 7 links you want to share with other bloggers, one of which links out elsewhere and if you want, you can talk about the links you've chosen. Add a little summary for each.
Here's what the 7 link challenge asks:
1. Your first post
2. A post you enjoyed writing the most
3. A post which had a great discussion
4. A post on someone else's blog that you'd wish you'd written
Ways to deal with bullies ... how do you handle bullies? ... allow yourself to be intimidated, or use their aggression against them? ... "the brother's harrowing howls grew a bit more shrill each time one of those Vespula maculatas made contact ... from that day forth Lamar Beefeater and Luther DooLittle didn't have to concern themselves with any further onslaughts of hostility from Bertram and Bernard Sedgewick ... I reckon all those agonizing, well-placed bee stings had made them immune to it!"

Vampire Energy is draining wallets across the nation! Vampire Energy is energy waste that comes from everyday appliances, like your TV, VCR, microwave, computer monitor, etc., even while they're turned off. "Vampire Energy Loss" from appliances in standby mode, e.g., the clock on your microwave or a screensaver on your PC monitor, costs over $10/year.
I've dealt with depression for most of my life, but it's only been in recent years that I've begun to recognize how many other people are struggling with it too. Depression is silent by its very nature, isolating and stifling, alienating us from those who would help us and those outlets that usually give us happiness. I've found that it seems creative individuals tend to suffer most acutely; the more I poll my friends, writers, actors, painters, costumers and the like, the more I find they have struggled with this insidious illness too.
When you give an ordinary run-of-the-mill gift, sure you fulfill an obligation, but that's about all you do. When you give unique, unusual gifts, you show the people receiving them that you really care. You show that you took the time to seek out something different—something that shows you're giving a gift because you want to, not simply because you have to.
I love to shop for birthays and holidays. I am always looking for something different to give. What unusual gifts do you give or would like to receive as a gift?
I’ve developed insomnia. I realize thousands of people live this way, but this is a major development for me. I LOVE sleep. I would rather sleep than do just about anything.
Recently, due to our latest, and hopefully last for awhile, move, I have been goign through a great many changes. I have begun to reaccess and re-evaluate everything in my life. From clothing to personal habits to the people I allow in my life. I had come to feel very lost, disoriented and unsure of myself or of how to continue. Thanks to a terrific community that encourages the creation of Dreamboards, I found an outlet to allow my inner voice to be heard by my logical brain. I have found the power I lost inside myself. This is the story of that one piec
In a rural town in northeast Alabama, four families live in four very interesting homes. Twice yearly these families kindly open their doors to visitors from across the nation, in hopes of inspiring personal responsibility and teaching people about sustainable living. The 3-hour walking tour includes a dodeca-yurt, an underground home, a strawbale house, and a homemade house that combines dozens of passive strategies for self-sustaining, eco-friendly living.
This guest blog focuses on the importance of blogging for making yourself more employable, especially in certain industries which are otherwise extremely difficult to break into.
Recently on a drive home from work in the heat of the summer, I found myself meeting up with an old friend, the same nagging feeling friend that tells me perhaps there is something more to this thing called life yet, I feel as though I have lost some deep knowing of how to live and truly be living a soul inspired life.
I love my work and play. I enjoy my life in most every way yet......
Long ago in the North East of this land, the Iroquois (known amongst themselves as the Haudenosaunee), under the direction of a great peacekeeper, built a strong confederacy for the mutual good of their member nations. Not only did the five nations of the Mohawk, the Oneidas, the Onondagas, the Cayugas, and the Seneca benefit from this structure, but also the 13 English colonies which later became the United States of America – because it modeled the government of the Haudenosaunee.

A review of the previous month and setting goals for the next. I added a linky last month (and plan to again this month). There is a button participants can download from my blog sidebar, too.

I have just written a blog post on slow down and enjoy being single because society has a certain rush mentality whenever it comes to marriages! I beleive that a person is supposed to wait on the person who fits their kind, which is a person whom he or she enjoys, not to go through the every day motions of the what society has presented! I believe that if people will slow down and enjoy being single or they are waiting in the process of being married, the marriages would not be like they are! What are your opinions on this subject!
