Just checking your list with my mental notes, My daughters are both prolific readers I want to cover all the basis and making certain they read the greats. Good list, thanks :)K

Since colleges are populated mostly by radical and or democrat leaning professors it is no wonder that so called "educated people" aka college graduates, vote for a Democrat.
Likewise for the "uneducated" who most likely have trouble finding good jobs without a high school diploma and may have to depend on government handouts to live. They would obviously vote for a democrat, especially like the one in office now who wants to hand them everything - forever.
The thing that is ruining this still wonderful country is the ill-informed, uninformed, and close-minded people who do not discover facts for themselves and who listen to the biased media outlets who refuse to be fair in reporting actual news that will affect us all for years to come.

I've got to ask my DIL and daughter if any of the kids are into these. I have a birthday and of course Xmas coming up soon.

Thanks katiem2 I'll do a Google search now, I just showered and got ready to go out to the market. I'm sure we have them as I do live near a big city. Just as you suspected I'm not a health food store shopper but will learn to become one per your suggestion. Thanks for the tips.

I think Kroger does have mung beans. Look in the health food section. My local Kroger has a health food section. While I'm not a big fan of Krogers, I go to my local health food stores. Google it, Scott I'm sure you will have some as well. They offer better organic health food options. I buy all organic spices, Kroger is not a good source as they don't often have a good organic option.

Look for stores like, Raisin Rack, Whole Foods, Trader Joes (which has just about everything but mung beans?) and stores of the like. The big brand name stores usually aren't the best option. You may as well get your feet wet in the Health Food Markets, you'll be very glad you did. :)K

I look forward to meeting your wife, I'm sure we will get on famously. Enjoy better health and green living. Looking forward to chatting with your wife. :)K

Scott, I think your onto a great gift giving idea for your daughter. My kids are of similar age and they both still play with their DS consoles. Great for travel or when they're stuck with me at a boring meeting... :)K

Scott, This is really cool my youngest goes wild for these, they have many to check out once you land on Amazons sales page. It's a great way to stimulate and encourage the budding artist in our children. Both my kids are artistic, one more so than the other and yet I see real value in nurturing both. Enjoy! As always thanks for your loyal following. :)

I love the Green Hornet 2011 movie, I've watched it more times than I care to admit. Great information on other green hornet stuff... diving in now. :)K

Mike, this is a very interesting, your wife and you are on to something. I've done a study where in women did both while being interviewed or lead by other women. The women in power or leader tended to be more favorable to the women who where plain and quiet spoken. So yes you are onto something. We humans both men and women alike are competitive beings it is a fact and one we might all do well to understand and work accordingly with.

sheilamarie, Very good point! Science has proven men to be very visual. It's hardwired into their DNA, they first respond to things they find visually appealing. Women are different they are more critical thinkers, they tend to process what they take in and systematically evaluate which can be as misleading as a mans quick visual eval. BUT, savvy people aware of this take advantage of it, this is where Mikes comment comes into play.

Hi Ragtimelil,
Zellige are absolutely beautiful and very intricate. I'm currently saving to have my bathroom retiled and Moroccan tiles will definitely be my inspiration. Thanks for commenting and stopping by. :)

Wonderful article. It was interesting leaning about these techniques. Now I'm inspired to check out tiles.

I'm making this today, hope Kroger has mung beans, I've never had mung beans. My wife and daughters are vegans and will love this recipe. thanks I'll impress them with my culinary skills today. Plus I need a good detox. Thanks katiem2 you are an amazing provider of really useful information.

These are some fabulous cards. Template photo cards are very popular!

My wife using chemical cleaners and they give me a headache. The smell of bleach and other harsh cleaners send direct pain to my brain, I leave the house. I'm sending this to her inbox and we will have a long talk today. Thanks katiem2 for another helpful piece to better our lives. BTW, my wife seems to be a bit jealous of you. Once she meets you via these websites I'm sure she will understand your appeal.
