Sometimes, I wish I was a cat. To have nice little
beds and pillows would be great along with the fancy canned food and someone to
massage my head and rub my back (I’ll have someone for that next week). Then
everything else is sleeping and maybe some running around to play with the many
kitty toys (I’m still not sure about the laser pointer, though). I could sit in
the sunbeam on the floor and purr when someone I like walked by. Cats don’t
worry about anything nor do they care about politics or try to maintain their
sanity upon waking up in the morning. They just be cats and do cat things: eat,
sleep, shed, meow, purr, etc. When I really think about it, all they expect is
food unless they’re mousers. Life would be simpler as a cat, perpetual Zen. But
life isn’t simple and I’m not a cat. Oh, well, back to the grindstone.

Free Stuff
I have recently become addicted to free stuff. Well I was addicted before now, who isn't, but recently I have started to actively participate in my acquisition of free things. I know I have a few readers who might also like to get their own free stuff so I am posting some links so you can also get started.
It is simple to get free things, however it does take a little effort on your part. Some are simple forms to fill out, others you may have to like a page on Facebook to get access to the forms.
Don't give credit card info for any free sample/item. If its truly free they won't ask for more than an email, physical address and phone number
You may be asked to fill out a survey, if you are read the fine print. Some surveys ask that you fill out applications for credit cards and make a purchase before you get the free item/gift card. DON'T TRUST THESE
Follow your instincts, if you think its bull then it probably is and you shouldn't do it.
Start early and late in the day- check the websites early as the items go fast. Also some items get posted in the evening time so its also a good time to check. Check as often as you feel like checking the websites.
Most free samples will be mailed to you, however some may only be available in store.
While "sample sites" are great you can also go to different companies websites and look for free samples on your own, or contact companies asking for free samples.
Don't give up. I usually sign up for about 5 free things a day, but thats not the most you can sign up for. Some days I don't sign up for more than one or two.
Be patient, it takes often 4-10 weeks before you will get some samples. If you sign up for samples everyday it won't be long before you are getting something almost everyday in the mail.

You can request free samples be mailed to you from both Target and Wal-Mart, however you will need to check each day to see if they have samples available, they go quick and are not available everyday.

If anyone has a free sample site they want to share, please email me Here and I will gladly post it for everyone to see.
Happy Sampling!!!!!!!

Tips on how to avoid getting scammed
While sample giveaways are usually safe to use, there is always a few bad apples.
Don't give credit card info for any free sample/item. If its truly free they won't ask for more than an email, physical address and phone number

Follow your instincts, if you think its bull then it probably is and you shouldn't do it.
Tips on getting free items
Either set up a separate email to use for signing up for free samples, or use your filter system on your email so your email inbox doesn't get filled up in a day.Start early and late in the day- check the websites early as the items go fast. Also some items get posted in the evening time so its also a good time to check. Check as often as you feel like checking the websites.

Here are a few to get you started. You can also search "free samples" and find even more sites.
These are the ones I use most. Most sample sites have the same samples. However you can go to individual sites to find free samples.

Halloween Nail Art-Robin Moses
It's that time of year again, and once again Robin Moses is cranking out some great Halloween themed nail designs. She is such a great nail artist and shows you how to do each design. You can check out her work on her YouTube Channel, Blog, or Facebook page. Get some inspiration for your own nail designs or just use some of her great designs to make your own or other peoples nails super great this Halloween.
On her pages you can find so much more than just Halloween Themed Nails. She has tons of videos that cover so many design categories you can literally spend all day watching and never watch the same one twice. Its a great place to look for all of your nail design tutorials.
Since Robin takes the time to make these videos and show us how to make these gorgeous designs, take the few seconds and make sure you give her some credit if you use her designs and show them off by saying Inspired by Robin Moses, not only is a great way to say thanks for the inspiration but her designs are copyrighted and all she asks for the use of them is a sentence saying she inspired you.
Here are just a few of her great Halloween designs.
I can't wait till Halloween and I am sure neither can you.
Please feel free to share you inspired Halloween nail art either here or with Robin herself on her Facebook page. Looking forward to seeing it and hearing from you. Happy Halloween!!

I Truly Am Loosing It
I am truly loosing it. By loosing it of course I mean my mind, what else would I be talking about because I surely am not loosing weight.
For the past several years I have been experiencing more and more episodes of Deja Vu. Sure, I may just be more aware of the episodes and therefor noticing them more often rather than actually experiencing them more often. Ok, that last sentence might be confusing to some so I will explain a little. I said I was more aware thereby noticing them more, and that sounds a little odd. What I meant that I might have previously had numerous episodes and never really paid much attention to them so the episodes I was experiencing were not cataloged by my brain. Ok, I am confusing myself now, lol. Let me try again. Ok, it can be raining outside, a constant drizzle which you don't pay attention to because its a quiet drizzle, but then it starts to rain harder with bigger rain drops so then you take notice. The fact that it started to rain bigger rain drops which you now notice does not mean that there are MORE raindrops just that the raindrops now are more noticeable than before. So, now my Deja Vu episodes have possibly become a harder rainfall and therefor more noticeable. I told you I was loosing it. Other theories for Deja Vu are that Deja Vu are checkpoints in our lives that were set by Fate or even our previous self from a former life, to let us know that we are on the right track, the track of our life that we are supposed to be on. So great I have either spirits or Fate telling me I am where I am supposed to be. I still think I am loosing it however. Now on to the next reason I think I am loosing it, I find myself glancing at the digital clock and at least once a day it comes up in triple numbers.
When I mention triple numbers I mean, 3:33, 5:55, or 7:77. I do not sit there and look at the clock all that often as my day isn't usually filled with reasons to look at a clock, such as work or appointments. I look at different times each day and at least one of those times it comes up triple numbers. I do not know why this is bothering me so bad except for the fact that it happens once a day and to a paranoid mind I am convinced it means something. Sure I think the Deja Vu episodes are a sign of something wrong with my brain. Now, I wonder what is causing the number issue. It surely cannot possibly be something inside me causing it, it has to be external or just mere coincidence. However, when you look it up on the internet you mainly come up with the theory about 11:11, which brings up the "Midwayers", or spirit beings which cause us to look at clocks at specific times so that we can see these triple digits. On some religious sites they call them (midwayers) demons and others call them spirit guides and healers.
So great, now not only do I have spirits telling me I am where I am supposed to be in life but I also have spirits sending me signals through my digital clock. I am agnostic I do not believe in God or Satan, angels or demons. However, I do believe I am going nuts. As if I did not have enough issues with my mind now I have this too.
Maybe I should just quit looking for info. Maybe I am making myself go wacko. Maybe I am not wacko at all, but I am simply trying to make sense of a world I cannot make sense of in the first place. Maybe I notice too much and need to stop paying so much attention to the things around me, as it evidently is not healthy for my state of mind and peace of mind.
I think I might like to read "The Urantia Book", where the Midwayers are mentioned. It sounds like a very interesting read. The Urantia Book (Wikipedia)
Even though it seems much of it might be plagiarized (gathered from different sources) it seems to be an interesting book.

Outdoor Showers and Kerosine Lamps
I wasn't raised the way most young girls are raised.
When I was young and it was warm out, it was normal to make sure to take your showers before it got too dark and the light faded from the sky, mainly because our shower was outside. Our "summer" shower consisted of a fifty gallon drum that sat on a scaffold in the back of our house. Well, it was in the front but people had a habit of coming down our long drive way causing whoever was taking a shower at the time to run for the house covered in soap. The best way to take an outside shower was to do it fast, in other words get wet, soap up, and rinse off, hopefully before the water got to cold since it was only warmed by the sun and usually not very warm at that.
