A bookmark is an item that you place into a paper book to mark the place where you stopped reading. This bookmark allows you to easily return to the exact spot you were before, without having to memorize the page number.

An online bookmark serves the same purpose. When you find an internet site you want to mark for later viewing, or that you'll want to find again, you tell your browser to set a bookmark. These are also called favorites. This bookmark allows you to return exactly to the same site again and again, without ever having to memorize the link.

Our handyman had some trouble with his truck a while back, and it cost us bigtime. See, there's a company that did our AC work for us. This put me in some serious debt. We are talking about a truly ridiculous sum, but because it was for our commercial property, we had to do it.

Well, when it started getting cold, we had to fix the heater. We called out our handyman, who told us that his truck was in the shop. Because all his tools were in his truck tool box he couldn't work on it. So the same people that charged us a fortune for the AC came out three times and charged us a fortune for the heater too. The second visit consisted of standing there scratching their heads (or other body parts) and saying that they would rewire it the next day. Why they weren't capable of doing it then- I don't know.

My husband has a classic Chevy El Camino, and we've been thinking about restoring it. Ok, maybe restoring is a bad word to use, but I'm not sure what the correct word is.

He needs a completely new interior, and someday, I would love to get him custom stitched seats that have a 50's pin-up girl lounging on some piping. I think that would be awesome.

Even on my Kia, I'm needing to replace things like my sunvisor and the weatherstripping.

A few years ago, I did a lot of traveling around the country alone, looking for hardwood suppliers for our small business in Springfield, Oregon. Of course, I took in a lot of the sites of interest -- usually free ones along the way.

My mode of transportation was a rather beat-up Datsun Pickup, with a canopy. Not a camper – a canopy. Sometimes my trips lasted 4-6 weeks, and in the canopy was my sleeping bag, food for the journey, a Coleman Stove, and my guitar. On one of the trips, I even took a bicycle, but it took up more room than I liked so it usually didn’t go along.
