CASH BACK AND OTHER CHANGES

It seems that stores are competing to give us cash back these days.. no matter where you shop!  The downloadable apps are everywhere.  My discount bread store even has an app!  Last time I went there a bread "outlet" store, I was standing in line and heard the cashier say to the man at the check out desk "do you want to download our app"?  It was as if he heard that in a foreign language, he just stood there and looked blank - stared up at the poster on the wall that showed the picture of the downloadable app and said "no," in a very slow uninterested way.  I thought I was in a bread store, now they have an app... but I am learning.  Big Lots has an app - my local nearest supermarket has an app where you can get free rewards as you are shopping through the store just click - yes, I want my free item and go and get it (I must admit I like that one).  But some of them are a little more difficult to understand.  Maybe if they all did the same thing and all the apps were universally coded it would be easier.  But this is my favorite one:

a href='https://www.ebates.com/r/BRANDC75?eeid=28585' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Ebates Coupons and Cash Back  click this button and get your ebates account.

this one sends you a check in the mail for your cash back and it is legitimate.  I have had at least two checks come back to me - just for shopping for items I would always buy anyway (every month).

And just as a side note I heard on the news (while we are talking about shopping), Fred Meyer department store is going to phase out plastic bags, they want you to buy/bring reusable bags.  So as to save the environment.  I am all for saving the environment -- but why didn't they know this back in the day when they started this free plastic bag thing - that it would not be good for the environment --that plastic does not break down into the bio system?

Anyway, check out this app by pressing the button, it is well worth your time....

I AM BACK !

I am back -- after several moves some I wanted to take and some I definitely did not and after having to say goodbye to a few computers since the last blog... I am back. I hope to be able to get back into the swing of things here on blogger. I enjoy writing, I enjoy typing and it is a fun place to talk about poetry and art. Poetry and art is my life. It is extremely windy here in Washington where I live today... its incredible .. the wind is whistling through the crack in my front door, and it is blowing things down the street like my neighbors lovely pillows that she has just put on her bench in the front yard. I would like to put a poem here that I wrote a few years back probably about 4 years ago, which is unpublished at present, as today's wind reminded me of this. WIND OF CHANGE Can I bring a wind of my Spirit To change the times and seasons Of your life? Can I bring a tempest To test man to the Limit? To change your life? Can I send my Holy Spirit To cleanse and

I got a DOG...she is an AUSTRALIAN SHEEP DOG MINATURE

Image
I actually have a dog. the first dog that I have ever owned. She is a lovely dog -- the vetenarian said that she is an Aussie Sheepdog miniature. Who knew, I would not have. I know or I did know nothing about dogs. I have been learning a lot though since acquiring my lovely sheepdog that I named Candy. She is sweet, and obedient, and is caring. You say 'caring'? Yes, I watched the way she was with a dog that I was dog-sitting for about a month, and she was incredibly kind to the other dog. She shared her bones, her bed, her toys everything. They played well together and she would kiss him a lot so I knew that she really liked him. But the thing that impressed me the most about the way she was with him -- was that the first night he was with us (he slept on the couch, his favorite place), she slept there also all night so that he wouldn't be all alone --when she usually slept in her dog bed next to my bed on the floor in my bedroom. She was and is a real "

FOUND RELATIVE!

Not too long ago, I found a relative that I didnt even know about.  Apparantly my dad had a cousin and maybe cousins that I didnt have any idea about. How wonderful!  She is my 2nd cousin -- my dad's first cousin and lives in the state of Oregon.  She moved here to the USA with her husband in 1968.  They first lived in Texas and then moved to Oregon about a year ago.  Now, she was my dad's first cousin related to him by his dad (my grandad) being brother to her dad.   I was elated to find her and we have talked on the phone a few times to learn about each other.  Her name is Barbara and she told me that her dad and my grandad were best friends.  I asked where they grew up and she said on Edgeware Road in London and that they lived in a flat that was above horse stables.  How interesting!!   So we found each other and corresponded through phone calls, but I found her son on facebook and he and I share some things across our pages and he sends pix of recipes that he and his mum h
