Word for Wednesday

Word: Rennet


It can be something simple
Or something truly insane
Take a guess, exercise your brain

Even if you really don't know
Come on people,
Play along, give it a go

Then don't forget to come back at 3:00
That's the only way you'll be able to see

unless you google the answer or peek in a book
but that will take away the fun,
I'm trusting you - not to look

Tip for Tuesday: Writing Related- (P squared)

Find Your Passion and Be Persistent!

It's as simple as that.

And as hard as that.

People search, sometimes a lifetime, to find the one thing that sets their soul on fire.

If you already know you love to write, you're way ahead in the game.

Then you've got to send out your work, whether it's to a magazine, a newspaper, or a book publisher, it doesn't matter. Just send it out-of course you'll have to figure out which one is appropriate. But then, and this is the BIG important part of the tip, be persistent.

It's like one of those cheers from the high school drill team:

B.E. P.E.R.S.I.S.T.E.N.T.

It's like Rose said in Titantic, "I'll never let go."

Of my dreams.

And don't you let go either. We all need to hold on to our dreams.

Movie Review Monday-THE UGLY TRUTH

Went and saw The Ugly Truth this weekend - it really wasn't so "Ugly".

Check it out here.

Definitely not for little kids but "HE"larious. I've loved Gerard Butler since The Phantom, so maybe I'm a wee-bit biased-NOT.

Of course I think he's an amazingly talented singer, devilishly handsome and an awesome actor . . . well, okay, maybe I am a tiny tad biased but all you gals looking for a little fun, a few laughs and a good look at a hottie from Scotland, you might want to learn a little more about The Ugly Truth. Go see it - just don't take the kids.

Oh yeah, and Katherine Heigl wasn't bad either.

OF MICE AND MEN - Earth-Friendly Friday

So are you asking what Steinbeck has to do with being Earth-friendly? Well, maybe a little or maybe a lot.

Steinbeck’s claim to fame was his story Of Mice and Men. And, I’m not one to question authorities on subjects – oh, wait, maybe I am. But, to be honest, I’m thinking he may have gotten it wrong. Calm down all you Steinbeckies out there in cyberland.

All I'm saying is that we shouldn’t be thinking of Mice and Men. We should be thinking of Worms and Men.

If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, that’s good. I’m talking about being green, eco-friendly and earth-friendly all rolled up into one EZ-Smeazy concept: Worm Bins.

What is a worm bin and how much does one cost? Well you can check them out here. But they range in price from about $60 to $80. Of course if that pricetag is too steep, you can always build one yourself.

Worms are picky.

There are some foods you can't put into a worm bin: cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli and no citrus goes in the bin.

And the worms will suddenly become homing worms if you don't keep their environment pleasant. Ways to build a good home for your worms is to add paper, egg shells and chopped up food products to your top tray. You also need to spray water into the bin to keep it moist.

After a while you will be able to harvest your worm tea - a.k.a. worm pee.

If you're curious about where you find your worms, relax. You don't need to dig them up and steal them away from their happy homes. You can visit Findworms. com where you can buy a pound of worms for about $30 per pound.

So let's not do a little - let's do the most
Let's grow a worm bin - let's all compost!
