selectann: Is there a website for finding a good, honest, dependable auto mechanic?
- 11/12/08 01:36 PM
Does a website exist for finding a good, honest, ethical, dependable auto mechanic? Does such a being exist? So far in my "world", this does not. I have been having car issues for nearly 2 years now. I have replaced many items on the vehicle at a whopping $1200 a piece but still the problem exists. The last tune-up done on the car was well over $2000 and the dealership almost managed to ruin my transmission. It cost me an additional 7 quarts of transmission fluid for them to repair the problem they created by the scheduled maintenance. Needless to say, I am not going … (10 comments)

- 11/11/08 11:14 AM
I learned about the Franklin County Honor Flight program about 2 months ago. This program sponsors flights to take veterans to Washington, D.C. to see their national memorial....FREE OF CHARGE!!
After meeting Dave Hall at the "Victory Through Valor" book signing, I knew I had to post about this special program. They recognize American veterans' achievements and sacrifices by taking them on an all expense paid trip to Washington D.C. to see the memorial. The highest priority is given to veterans who are terminally ill from any war or veterans who are survivors of World War II .
Unfortunately, our WW II Veterans are passing away at … (10 comments)

Fall is here and the temperatures are going to decrease. Here are the last photos of the season for gorgeous flowers. I spent the day trying to find something to take pictures of to post about and this is what I decided to write about.

- 11/02/08 01:50 PM
It is November here in the Midwest. And I love Fall but those pesky bugs are everywhere. Does anyone else think there are too many bugs flying around? I have been picking the little critters out of my hair and off of my clothes for the last two weeks.
The ladybugs seem to be everywhere. Now they are invading my home and they are messy little creatures.
Darn I mention the wasps are flying in record numbers also? Luckily, I have not had any of those in my hair. If I had, you would have been able to hear me scream across the … (26 comments)

Before heading off to bed, be sure to set all of the clocks in your house back one hour. This will be the only day this year you are allowed to be early to all events of the day for not taking this post seriously...
Have a great night's sleep!
And by the way, you should also test your smoke detector to insure it is working properly. If not then Remember to get some new batteries too.

selectann: Low Low Gas Prices in Union Missouri
- 10/27/08 03:15 PM
Gas prices in Union, Missouri today were $2.33 a gallon for regular. Wildwood was still at $2.43 a gallon but hopefully the prices will be falling in Wildwood and other areas surrounding St. Louis.
I know this is good news for me. It was getting to be crazy to fill up my Impala. The bill from an empty tank would be over $50 and nearly $60. Now when I fill up the total is staying at about $35. For my family and others in the area this means more money to spend on food.
It was getting to the point where I felt like … (21 comments)

The wonderfully friendly people of gorgeous Hermann, Missouri celebrate their German heritage all year long, but every weekend in October they celebrate with a special gusto.
