Romaine lettuce, fried chicken strips that have been sliced, and orange slices. Perfect salad for me and this could be my lunch. No need for some salad dressing because the oranges and the chicken tickle my simple taste buds.

During days we stay at home, lunch time means kids and I turning on the netbooks to chat with hubby in his office, attend to farming chores and read emails.

We don’t usually have heavy lunch, sometimes just pasta or fresh noodles, especially when the weather is hot.

For busy people and those who are on the go, there are self-service payment counters being offered in some stores. It works like the regular payment counters, with barcode scanners and all that stuff, except there is no one to help you.

Now, this is a good idea just in case you notice the cashier on the counter you lined up seems to be moving slower than usual.

Yes, cities have been espousing a lot of self-service, well, services. I just hope these will not jeopardize the services especially to those who are too lazy to do things better.

Me? I’d rather line up with that oh-so-slow cashier than scan my purchases and consume more time than I intend to spend there.

My son (and my hubby) loves to play PC racing games. Right now, son is beside me playing with Knight Rider race game.

One of the games they enjoy playing with is 18 Wheels of Steel Across America. They get to race across America carrying different kinds of cargo, maneuvering different kinds of streets, and buy truck accessories. Yes, son loves doing the “set-up” in cars and trucks.

The son learned a lot of places when he started playing this game. He even learned calculating distances, knowing when to gas up or not yet and converting miles to kilometers.

I have written in this post about playing Farm Town. I have been at it since June and it took me almost forever to reach level 30. To those in the know, I was able to get my greenhouse and gazebo yesterday, right after I got my new level. Woohoo!

FT (Farm Town) is not just a virtual game of plowing, planting and harvesting crops. Sure, there is also shopping for equipments, buildings and other things necessary to make the farm look real. There are cute animals too and who knows? maybe soon, we might be able to buy cattle supplies for them tee-hee!

I know of people who scoff at us for being happy with FT. I don’t mind, to each his own and frankly, we (my neighbors and I) are not enamored with this person anyway.

Forums are everywhere in the net tackling topics like movies, tech reviews, weight losss supplements, parenting, love problems and a whole gamut of topic about anything and everything under the sun.

A while ago, a friend and I were talking about people who post in forums. We discussed a forum topic from a site we both don’t know anything about.

Apparently, one of the topics being talked about was a friend and whatever it took the haters to post something about this friend and for others to hate him without the benefit of the doubt is probably waaaay beyond me.

i have never really participated in forums and I know I may never know if I am good at it especially if it would mean bashing people behind their back without them knowing it and without them being able to defend themselves.

Sure, I can’t say I come clean and have not bashed someone else, whether intentionally or otherwise. But for people to talk about another people and everyone else and read about it and probably add more fuel to the fire? That is definitely foul and rude to say the least.
