Just an update, I'm sick...well everyone knew that but my summer cold has become a sinus AND ear infection so there is a lot of just resting happening along with too much TV. This somehow has displayed in a greater weight loss but also muscle wasting which I loathe. Onto antibiotics so I hope I'm on the mend now.

Fun on the Web March 11, 2018 Daylight Saving Time

"This Sunday marks the 100th anniversary of daylight saving time (DST), and what better way to celebrate than by losing an hour of sleep in the morning and gaining an hour of sunlight in the evening."

"The time change happens at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday (March 11) — meaning that clocks everywhere will jump from 1:59 a.m. to 3 a.m. local time."

"Spring daylight saving (not savings, as some people say) means that the sun will rise and set 1 hour later on March 11 than it did on March 10. In effect, this change gives people in the Northern Hemisphere more sunlight in the evening hours. And it turns out, the change may save the lives of koalas (keep reading)" https://www.livescience.com/61978-daylight-saving-time-starts-2018.html

Fun on the Web March 7, 2018 Travel Blogs

I was probably 40 when I decided I wanted to be the female Burt Wolf but have not quite figured that out yet. There were too many adventures in my way: moving to a small town (I do mean small, population 5000),  starting a business, and becoming a grandparent come to mind, along with travels to both coasts to visit family and trips to both Canada and Mexico.

So now I'm ready to reinvent myself again coming off of two surgeries which have kept me out of the workforce for a long time. Do I pursue the long lost dream? Stay tuned to find out!

Here are some travel blogs to peek your interest:

Fun on the Web Feb 16, 2018 - Chinese New Year

Gung Hay Fat Choy or Gong Xi Fa Ca!That means Happy Chinese New Year.  That’s the traditional Chinese New Year greeting that means “wishing you prosperity” in Mandarin.

This is the most important of Chinese holidays, celebrated by billions of ethnic Chinese around the world. It’s a 15 day celebration end with the Lantern Festival. Each year is represented by one of twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac. For Chinese New Year 2018 - The first year of the earth dog since 1958.

Anyone born in an earth dog year will be communicative, serious, and responsible in the workplace.

Before the New Year's celebration, people will normally do a complete cleaning of the house, settle debts, and put on the traditional New Year decoration. A lunar month is around 2 days shorter than a solar month. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar, an extra month is inserted every few years. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.

Chinese New Year celebrations, also known as the Spring Festival, in China start on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month of the Chinese calendar lasts for about 23 days. In other countries it may be just a 15 day celebration. Each day holds a special significance that varies according to local traditions. It is celebrated with lion dances, fireworks, family gatherings, family meals, visiting friends and relatives, giving red envelopes of "lucky money" to friends and relatives (use numbers ending in 8), and decorating with poems on red paper.

For more info on each day's celebration and the foods eaten see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_New_Year

The Year 2018 is the 4715 th Chinese year. For a great explanation of this and the Stem-Branch Calendar look here: http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/

Fun on the Web Feb 13 2018 - Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras is Fat Tuesday in French. I have never been there, but always wanted to go. Not to just Dallas, Huntsville, Mobile or Galveston where there are lesser celebrations but go to New Orleans aka NOLA for at least a couple of weeks leading up to Mardi Gras.

Carnival is actually an entire season which starts right after Twelfth Night. (The twelve Days of Christmas are from December 25th through January 6th. Twelfth Night, January 6th is Epiphany, the day the wise Men visited the Christ Child.)

This is the season for the winter social season in the south. Balls (some masked),  King Cake Parties (where a tiny baby is hidden inside the cake and the finder hosts the next King Cake Party), Parades, Costumes, and Marching Bands are all part of the fun dating back into the 1700's according to written accounts. The first and oldest krewe, the Mystick Krewe of Comus was officially started in 1856.

The French population which was largely Catholic, regards Lent as a somber time that starts at the stroke of midnight on Ash Wednesday but before that as they say "Let the Good Times Roll" or "Laissez les bon temps roulez!"  The Carnival Season ending in Mardi Gras brings people from all over the country.

Fun on the Web Feb 6, 2018 Subscription Boxes

We have all seen commercials for food subscription boxes like Hello Fresh and Blue Apron that bring you a pre-selected number of meals (often you can pick the types of meals from a menu each month) but did you know there are clothing boxes, men's boxes, beauty boxes, natural health food, and even sock boxes? They also have coupons, reviews, swaps, spoilers, and even a forum. See what they have to say on the "best of" but make sure to poke through the site to find your best values in a box.

Fun on the Web Feb 3, 2018 Game Day Appetizers

Didn't make much elaborate food yet just Sloppy Joes
https://bluesbabys-rants.blogspot.com/2009/12/not-grandmas-sloppy-joes.html
which are always better reheated. Eating finger foods is my favorite type of meal. Oh, so many appetizers for the big game!
https://bluesbabys-rants.blogspot.com/search?q=appetizer

Made it home before there was too much snow but it's cocoa time. I like mine with some whipped cream and Bailey's Irish Cream now that I'm in for the night. Or I could try Warm Apple Cider with SMIRNOFF® Kissed Caramel® and a cinnamon stick. Decisions, decisions!

I'm already tired of winter. It's been brutal. We had Italian Night Thursday and it was 7 degrees when I was outside....brrrr. The car never warmed up! A bit warmer today but the snow is drifting down pretty steady now and we may get more than 4 inches overnight.

Fun on the Web Feb 2, 2018 Groundhogs Day

Who saw their shadow? That will be the question most of the day after sunrise. Groundhogs Day is always a day when those of us in the north look forward to finding out if we are having early spring or six more weeks of winter.

Here is video on 20 different opinions 
http://www.cleveland.com/weather/blog/index.ssf/2018/02/meet_20_other_weather-predicti.html

For over 60 years Wisconsin has had their own Groundhog, Jimmy. BTW he is right in his prediction about 80% of the time. Not sure I will be out there having the breakfast buffet but it might be fun. (Yes, in Wisconsin its always about the food.) BTW Jimmy said early six more weeks of winter along with most of the others. I get my weather from Jimmy....boo, hiss! https://www.cityofsunprairie.com/840/Groundhog-Day

Was it Wiarton Willie in Ontario who saw it? In 62 years this has become a full on festival. Watch the video here: https://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/groundhog-day-2018-the-weather-network-live-wiarton-ontario-willy-early-spring-six-more-weeks-of-winter/94835

Are you a big fan of Punxsutawney Phil? He has had about 39 percent accuracy ever since 1886.  http://www.groundhog.org/

Buckeye Chuck is one of two groundhogs in Ohio known for predicting the arrival of spring. A native of Marion, Ohio, Chuck began predicting the arrival of Spring in the 1970s. Although he doesn't have his own website, Wikipedia says he is the Official State Groundhog. https://wmrn.iheart.com/featured/local-news-wmrn/content/2018-02-02-buckeye-chuck-make-his-weather-prediction/

Sir Walter Wally from Raleigh, NC says early spring
https://patch.com/north-carolina/charlotte/groundhog-day-2018-nc-sir-walter-wally-makes-prediction

Staten Island Chuck in NY
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staten_Island_Chuck

Malvern Mel and Holtsville Hal disagreed with Staten Island Chuck and Punxsutawney Phil!
