This week I learned a new term called Foodie. A Foodie is a food blogger that blogs about food in general or a certain type of food or a certain culture of food. They give their opinions about the food that they visit or eat. I watched a show on PBS about foodies and some of the food they blog about and pictures of the food or pictures of their visits to food places. Foodies live all over the world in different areas but they have a wide range audience that reads their blogs. I think anybody can become a foodie.
If you haven’t heard about it, this has been a very rough year in the Midwest. We had not one but two floods this year and last Monday we had a wind storm go through here. The storm last about 30 minutes and the wind speed was clocked at our local airport at 80 to 98 MPH. There are several trees down and a lot of people still without power tonight. You can see the damage at BillH’s website “View from the Bench”.
::Filling Out Forms::
Onesome: Filling– the ol’ fuel tank is getting to be real interesting lately… What are gas prices doing in your area this Summer?
Gas prices are in the upper 3 dollar to the lower 4 dollar area. Depends on what direction you go if the gas is cheaper or more expensive.
Twosome: Out- and about and you’re out of cash: the ATM or the store for a few bucks over on the check? Oh! …and debit or credit? …or are you a ‘cash economy’ person?
I’m a debit and credit card type of person. I really don’t like carrying cash on me unless I have to.
Threesome: Forms– can be a real pain! Do you have a ‘favorite’ you dislike even to think about? (…and no, the income tax forms are ‘exempt’ from this question <g>!)
Loan forms are the most pain to me to fill out. The banks need your whole life story before they will give you any money.
