Being Frugal Is In! - 02/26/09 09:10 AM

I heard someone say this the other day on TV, "Being Frugal Is In!". It made me think about how I have made some conscious decisions to save a penny here and there. Although I have always tried to be smart when it comes to money, I think I have especially focused on tightening the belt a bit more lately due to the hard economic times.

When at the grocery store, I always try to stick to my list, and avoid impulse buys (again I try!). I also purchase store brands when possible (although my hubby refuses to do … (28 comments)

Pink Pens Petition to KFC
Pink has kicked off a petition asking KFC to make sure that the more than 850 million birds killed for its buckets each year aren’t abused in ways that would make any kind person lose their lunch:
“PETA is asking KFC to eliminate the worst abuses that chickens suffer in the factory farms and slaughterhouses of its suppliers, including crippling injuries because of cruel breeding practices and the overuse of drugs, having their throats slit while still conscious, and being dunked into tanks of scalding-hot water while still alive and able to feel pain,” the … (14 comments)

Speechless Sunday! - 02/22/09 09:18 AM

Let Kristin Johnston show you Waukesha, WI! - 02/20/09 09:48 AM

History The area that Waukesha now encompasses was first inhabited in 1834. Its acknowledged first non-American-Indian settler was Morris D. Cutler.
By 1846, the area was incorporated as the "Village of Prairieville." On February 8, 1847, it changed its name to "Waukesha," and in 1896, Waukesha incorporated as a city.

Waukesha's name Over the years, many believed, incorrectly, that the origin of the name of the city was an Algonquin word meaning "fox" or "little foxes," though it is actually an Anglicization of the Ojibwe proper name Waagoshag or the Potawatomi name Wau-tsha. Wau-tsha (sometimes written as Wauk-tsha … (14 comments)

Senseless Seal Slaughter Must Be Stopped!!! - 02/19/09 08:19 AM

I received this email yesterday, and highly encourage any of my animal lover/activist friends to take action to help end the senseless slaughter of seals in Canada!!
Here is the email:
Dear Kristin,
In a few short weeks, Canada will begin its merciless slaughter of seals for their skins. We have an opportunity before us to make a real difference as the world turns its attention to Canada when it hosts the 2010 Winter Olympics. At a news conference today in Vancouver, we launched a year-long campaign to end the seal slaughter once and for all, but we … (18 comments)

DO THESE PUPPIES LOOK HAPPY TO YOU??? - 02/14/09 05:33 PM

Today, Valentines Day, about 30 members from No Wisconsin Puppy Mills Organization (including my sister and I) protested against the Petland Petstore in Pewaukee, WI. This store, and many like them, buys its puppies from puppy mills. I have done many posts about why we are boycotting this pet store chain in the past, along with ending puppy mill misery in the US, HSUS's investigations on this pet store chain and others, etc. Please see those posts, or go to www.hsus.org, or www.nowisconsinpuppymills.com for more information.

Another Winter Walk In Waukesha, WI - 02/09/09 09:17 AM

Most Sundays, after my appts, my husband and I try to go for walks or do something active. Last week I shared photos of our walk around the Fox River in Waukesha, WI. This week, we went to the Retzer Nature Preserve, which is a few minutes from our home, and hiked around for a couple of hours. It was so beautiful. So many people also had cabin fever and were enjoying the wonderful sights and sounds of nature---the crackle of snow under your feet, the sounds of melting ice/snow (yippee!), GREENERY---thank goodness!!

What Do You Do For Valentines Day? - 02/07/09 09:28 AM

Ok, so we have 1 more week until Valentines Day. Usually, my husband and I go out to dinner, often times the night before, to avoid the crowds. I always tell him don't waste money buying a card or flowers. The one item I will "allow" of course is chocolate!!! I prefer sugar free, but I will eat whatever he gets me. He likes his scotch or irish whiskey.
I always hear it is a ladies holiday, and that the "boys" shouldn't get gifts. This doesn't seem fair to me. It got me thinking what others do for the … (34 comments)

A bit of trivia for you on this Thursday. Resist the urge to google and if you know the answer, don't spoil it. Only guesses allowed! I'll post the answer at the end of the day.

"Which animal undertakes the world's longest migration each year?"

Today's Trivia Answer:
The Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) may be a small bird, but it undertakes the world's longest migration each year when it travels almost from pole to pole. After breeding in the Arctic Circle, these birds migrate during the Northern Hemisphere winter to the border of the Antarctic ice pack. The … (23 comments)
