    01/02 /4 Comments

    I have made a ton of zucchini bread and muffins with different variations and have finally found THE BEST EVER! I have made this twice this week already and have requests for more.

The reverse is true when you’re going from a hot area to a cold area outside, where your glasses may fog up in the condensation because of the temperature change. But what about your hearing aids? Due to condensation, moisture can build up in your hearing aid and it can cause some problems.   How The Cold Affects Hearing Aids The cold temperature itself isn’t what damages these devices, but that doesn’t stop there being cold weather challenges for hearing aids.

    To Rob that commented the following on my Facebook: Yesterday CNN did about a 10 or 15 minute interview with the mayor of Asheville… If you think you’re going to see news reporting every day for the next year and a half… You’re naïve… Seen the same stupid videos day after day after day, with the same stupid songs, and the same emotional manipulation… That doesn’t help anybody… It’s garbage. I pondered this for 6 or so hours and here’s my response to you. In the South, family isn’t just a word — it’s the heart of everything. From the moment you’re born, you’re wrapped in this deep, unspoken bond…

    How to Occupy Yourself During a Long Flight

    Long flights, even when you’re going to a far-flung sugary beach destination, can be boring as heck. You are stuck in a tin can in the sky that doesn’t even feel like it’s moving, with hundreds of other people who are all looking to get to the same destination. It’s cattle class and it’s not a fun way to travel.    However, with a little bit of inspiration, there are so many ways that you can entertain yourself and pass the time quicker while you travel.

    Choosing nursing home care for your senior loved one is one of the most difficult tasks, at least, that is how I was feeling. I was so scared that I was going to make a bad decision which I’d end up regretting later or that my loved one was going to be unhappy in the facility.
