Loopy Love Online Dating UK

by

I found a site for my readers from the UK who are looking for love!

I actually know several people who’ve found love on the Internet. Two of them even ended up marrying the person they connected with on the net. Lets face it, in this day and age when people are so busy working, trying to stay afloat, taking care of family obligations – it can be hard to make time to find people to date. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using an online dating service. It definitely works for some!

The service is called Loopy Love. Don’t you just adore that name? The sites front page states that it’s the Uk’s first free online singles dating service. Loopy Love members seem to be successful in finding a match because they state that there are two or three marriages every week! I know you might not be looking for marriage, but it’s nice to know that they are helping people match up with success isn’t it?

The site looks like it’s pretty easy to use. You simply register, fill in some information about yourself, tell them who your ideal date is, and how far you are willing to travel to meet your match.
If you live in the UK and your tired of finding Mr or Ms wrong give Loopy Love a try.





Nocturnal Turtle

by

First, a Friday Funny – It’s short, cute and well uh explosive:

I just love the little grin at the end!

_____________________________

We’ve already established that I’m nocturnal, but it seems that my turtle, who should be sleeping through the night, has decided to have a party every night!

It’s not like the living room lights are on and keeping him up. He’s in the dark and he should be sleeping. But he’s not. The last two nights, or should I say early mornings, he’s become very active at about 4 a.m. Maybe he’s training for the Olympics? Planning the great escape?

He comes out of his shelter, then he attempts to climb on top of his home. He usually doesn’t get to the top on the first try. Nope, he noisily attempts to climb it several times, falling backwards most of the time, and occasionally falling into his shallow water dish. When he finally reaches the top he decides he wants off the shelter. So what does he do? He jumps off of it into his water dish.

Then the whole cycle begins again.

Box turtles have hard shells and when he’s banging around you can hear him through the whole house!

Shhhhhhhhh Spaz, you’ll wake Chris up. I’m surprised his girlfriend Myrtle never seems to wake up when he gets busy.

Kitchen appliance guide

by

I’ve known for at least the last decade, perhaps longer, that I’m a kitchen gadget and appliance junkie. I also love interesting pottery dishes – hand crafted plates and bowls. However, if I indulged in all of the nifty products that catch my eye I’d soon be in trouble.

Actually, on Monday when my husband and I were out I managed to purchase a microwave omelet cooker, a new set of cookie sheets and a brown sugar saver (made of clay, soak it in water then put it in your brown sugar to keep it from hardening). So, while I rarely purchase anything for the kitchen these days, the desire is still there.

I came across a site today that might have me buying more kitchen appliances soon. That will be a real problem because I don’t have any more room in my kitchen for more gadgets, at least I don’t think I do. Anyway, the site that I found is the Kitchen Appliance Guide. This site might actually be safe for someone like me, because it doesn’t really sell the appliances, although it has a number of links to places where you can buy them.

The Kitchen Appliance guide discusses the various types of appliances that are commonly used in the kitchen. Products like smoothie makers, food processors, hand mixers and blenders, juicers and so on. the site also discusses popular brands, helps you choose the kitchen appliance that’s right for you, and rates a number of products.

I’m definitely bookmarking this site for future browsing.

How about you people? Are any of you kitchen appliance junkies?

My husband paints his nails!

by

That’s right, he’s painting his nails again.

You might remember my story about him getting fake nails for the first time? That’s occurred at least three times since April. No my husbands not really odd, well he is, but shhhhhhh don’t let him know I told you that. No he’s been wearing the fake nails – only on his right hand – because he’s a guitar player and he can use the fake nails to pic the strings on the guitar better.

He’s got really thin weak nails and by having the fake nails applied to the finger nails on his right hand he can use his nails rather than a pick most of the time.

The unfortunate truth about fake nails though is that they end up thinning out and weakening your natural nails when you use them.

So Chris has been pestering the cosmetic advisor’s at drug store cosmetic counters, and the ones in the cosmetics departments of many major department stores. I thought they’d look at him strangely, but for the most part they don’t. In fact one told me just yesterday that she’s seen it all, and nothing that people do in stores, or the questions that she’s asked, surprise her anymore.

In fact she told me a remarkable story yesterday of a lady that did a pregnancy test right in the cosmetics department of the drug store! I’d really like to know how someone managed that. I mean don’t you have to pee on a stick for all of the instant pregnancy tests? If you do, that means that this lady was so desperate to know if she was pregnant or not, that she had to have peed right there in the store!

If I ever get tired of working in the Emergency Department, but still crave a taste of the strange, I think I’ll apply to work as a cosmetician at a drug store. Seems that they see the kind of strange stuff there that’s in line with the kind of things I’m used to seeing in the ER.

Back to Chris. I think and hope that he’s given up on the fake nails. I really didn’t like the look, and they felt so creepy when he’d touch me with the nails. *shivers* He’s been spending all that time talking to cosmetic specialists trying to find out what other kinds of products he can put on his nails to strengthen them.

Since yesterday he’s been applying a liquid product called Ecrinal to his nails three times a day. It’s made from the oils found in horse hair. It’s supposed to be the best out there. We’ll see. Three times a day for seven days and hopefully Chris nails will start to become stronger. I, for one, hope it works so I don’t have to see a return of the creepy fake nails.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for my thin nails metro sexual husband?
