A creepy, freaking out sofa

Posted on April 29th, 2008 in Fun Stuff by Laura

I really don’t think this is a funny photo but it really is so odd, unrealistic, creepy that I thought about posting it. I received this picture by e-mail together with other photos (two of them I already posted before) and this one was the one that really freaked me out.

The animals/reptiles that really scares me the most are snakes. Just the thought of being near one makes me shiver. If I ever had to seat in a sofa, not with really snakes, even fake ones, I’m sure I couldn’t, even if I had special clothes, I’m not taking about bridal lingerie as you might imagine, I mean, a strong sealed suit, I would still be scared.

If you like snakes and you would like to have one of this in your living room, I’m sure there are none for sale. :)

Facebook

Posted on April 22nd, 2008 in Blogging by Laura

I really like the way Facebook works and makes “friends” interact with each other, but I have to face it, I don’t have time to check Facebook everyday.

Facebook is great to meet new friends, to know what they like, what kind of music they listen to, what movies they watch, I would like to send gifts to my friends, write in their fun walls, grow gardens, meet other members with the same movie taste, update my mood, but the truth is I don’t have the time to do so.

What I did was a clean up, I had more then 100 invitations, requests, gifts, etc., etc. and I must confess I delete them all. I also removed some applications I had and never used, so my page is now reduced to only a few applications. I know some people are addicted to Facebook, well I don’t need a drug rehab because I’m not addicted to it, at least for now.

Free program or plugin to hide affiliate

Posted on April 19th, 2008 in Blogging,Programs by Laura

I’m looking for a free program to hide affiliate links. I’ve done a little search and the ones I found although easy to use, it takes a little time to incorporate the link in the post because we have to use FTP. I need a program or plugin I can use directly when I’m writing the post. Nothing so complicated as bpm or a paid program like WP Affiliate Pro.

So, if someone reading this posts knows a plugin to hide affiliate links I will appreciate your comments.

A strange house I must say

Posted on April 15th, 2008 in Curiosities,Fun Stuff by Laura

I found this photo while I was surfing the net. Although it’s not the house of my dreams, I must say, it’s a curious one. For sure it will be difficult to find one available in real estate. It has an humanized figure but doesn’t look very nice.

This next picture is from North Padre Island rentals photos, much more attractive, don’t you think?

Funny Diet Tips

Posted on April 11th, 2008 in Fun Stuff by Laura

I found a post about diet tips that I find hilarious. Please don’t think I make fun of people that are overweighted, no I don’t, in fact I’m underweight so I know what it feels like when people make fun of us.

This is just a funny post with funny joke. I got these weight loss tips from: Funny Diet Tips

Success is when you can look beyond food…and look down and see your feet.

  • To make your hips and thighs look slim on the beach, dig two tunnels under your thighs and make a small dent in the sand for your bottom. Place your towel over the top and sit in the dug out area. Hey presto, no bulging thighs and hips.
  • Always stand 3/4 on for photographs ….. really slimming
    Stand next to a person fatter than you whenever possible and never ever befriend a real skinny!!!
  • Always eat in private, if people never see you eat, they’ll believe you when you say you have a thyroid problem
  • If you have a problem with eating too much in the evenings, go to bed at 7.30 pm every night and ask your partner to hand cuff you to the bed, you never know, you may solve two problems in one, by spicing up your sex life at the same time ;)
  • If you do know someone who’s naturally skinny, have them come and live with you for two weeks and eat exactly what they eat at exactly the same times. You are guaranteed to lose weight!
  • Con your friends into thinking how good you’re looking lately ….. study and memorize your most flattering pose in a mirror and ensure when anyone sees you, you strike the pose….. note, this only works if you then don’t move again until they’ve left the room.
  • Cross your legs at your ankles. Your thighs and calves will look slimmer.
  • Get a tan. A tan helps you look thinner
  • Whenever a friend calls round, tell them you’re on your way to the gym, word will get round about how fit and healthy you are…. and you may feel it necessary to prove it once in a while

100 laughs a day is equal to 10 minutes of exercise! Now can it get any easier than that?

Who needs weight loss pills after this?

All couples need their own space

Posted on April 4th, 2008 in Curiosities,Fun Stuff,Home Items,Useful Items by Laura

When people talk about their marriage they always say that there must be time for the couple and for both as individuals. Space is also an issue that usually is solved by the women spend some time in the kitchen and the men in the living room watching TV.

Well now couples can have their space also in bed, no more kicking, no more hugs, no more sexy hands. The sheet in the picture will solve the problem, it has a ruler that marks the middle of the bed so space will be delimited. It works no matter you have a memory foam mattress, a platform bed or an adjustable bed and you’ll have the space you always wanted.

To Add: I was questioned by a reader about the store where these sheets can be bought.

This is a Portuguese Design and can be found in some Portuguese Stores as well as in Spain and France.  I don’t know if there are any stores in US selling them.
