Jim Shore
September 27, 2010
Jim Shore is a very good artist who makes hand crafted collectibles and adds his own special flair for patchwork art and intricate details. I believe that one of his parents was an accomplished seamstress and quilter which is where Jim Shore learned the art of quilting. It is pretty neat to see a patchwork design worked into collectible figurine because no one else is crafting collectibles this way.
If you look for an online gift shop, you may find a few that carry Jim Shore collectibles for all seasons including Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. I even remember one Jim Shore Disney piece that featured Mickey Mouse dressed up as Count Dracula. That Jim Shore piece was actually a candy dish which I know many would love to have.
If you are looking for a unique collectible figurine, you will not be disappointed by any of the collectibles created by Jim Shore.
I have also become interested in Webkinz stuffed toys as well. From what I have read, these toys come with a special code that you can use online to have fun and get creative. I think that these Webkinz toys will be great for a young child who is learning.
What is the minimum age to travel my plane unaccompanied?
September 20, 2010
I want to travel by myself on a plane to places such as the USA. I live in the UK and and I am currently 15, but will be 16 by the time I travel abroad alone. I just wanted to know whether I can travel by myself on a BA flight or a Virgin Atlantic flight. Also, I want to know if I can apply for a travel visa to the USA when I am 16, or do I have to be 18? Thanks!
Under BA policy, those as young as 5 can travel as unaccompanied minors but up to 12 y/old they have to be registered under the Solo program, from 13-18 y/old you can also register for the solo program, but do not have to use the service, and can travel under your own supervision.
Neon Signs
September 12, 2010
Neon signs for your business? If you rely on your storefront to bring in foot traffic then a neon sign is a must. Don’t trust your neon sign design to anyone though, as there are only a handful of companies who actually design and manufacture neon signs while most of the others are just distributors.
Jantec Neon provides storefront solutions for a wide variety of business types including hair and nail salons, restaurants and financial institutions. Put your neon sign in the right place in get noticed!
Neon signs are a great way to capture the attention of the casual passerby and they create an atmosphere of excitement as well. Don’t be left behind by your competition who knows the importance of well placed custom neon signs

Responsible homeowners are losing their homes
A Mosque to be built at Ground Zero, for "religious freedom and to remind us what a certain sect of the Muslim society did 10 years ago"
GOVERNMENT bailouts of major corporations, again, whilst the economy grows even worse
"Ending" an undeclared "war" by sending 30 THOUSAND ADDITIONAL TROOPS TO Afghanistan………

Why is everybody always complaining about the number of vacations that Obama takes?
September 2, 2010
I want him to take all the vacations he can, I think he is due for another one right now. In fact if we wants to take the next two years off that would be fine with me.
Our economy is in the tank and our leader is on TV on vacation all the time. Doesn’t that seem a little ridiculous?
