I woke up to this wonderful article this morning about longevity.I have included a link to the site so you can read the remainder of the traits for centurions. The one I have posted is one that all 156,000+ of us seem to have in common.
You embrace techie trends
Learn to Twitter or Skype to help keep brain cells young and healthy, says Sherri Snelling, senior director for Evercare (part of United-Healthcare), a group that sponsors an annual poll of U.S. centenarians. Many of the oldest Americans send e-mails, Google lost friends, and even date online. Researchers say using the latest technology helps keep us not only mentally spry but socially engaged: "Stay connected to friends, family, and current events, and you feel vital and relevant," says Snelling.
This is one of those times of the year we like to crank the AC. Face it in Western Washington we don't get all that many chances.But there are things you should be aware of. I have included a link and some advice fromAdvanced Heating and Cooling's owner Chuck Huff.
If the AC is working well we normally see a 30 degree temp. drop at the coil in the equipment (not your home). This is important to know, because if you try to cool your house below 72 without special equipment installed there is a chance that your ...indoor coil will freeze. A frozen coil can cause the compressor to fail, in many cases requiring replacement of the AC

I survived putting keys in the lock box! Yesterday I headed out to gated acreage I had listed to put keys in the box. Careful not to let anyone else in I locked the gate securely behind me and headed to the little cabin to make sure the key turned the lock.
As I crossed and open field I heard a thud in the woods about 5 feet away,and then wrestling in the bushes and another whumping thud.
I was curious and was excited to see what large animal would make such a noise (stupid). It was then that my husband who always travels with me when I go out in the boonies noticed the large cat (cougar?) He had just made his way onto a stump to spy on us.
The moral of the story is do not be dumb and curious as I was. Watch out when you show or list vacant land. I was always concerned about people I did not know, and never thought to watch out for hungry animals.
We both walked backwards for what felt like miles (a couple hundred yards) & got in the car relieved. I am not traveling without my gun again. Does this mean I get a new Purse to fit it?
I am not one just to take someones word for it. I have to see it for myself. So if you are like me here is a link to the Health Care Bill that is getting so much coverage lately.
I was surprised to find that it was an easy read. I plan on looking through this tonight when I get home. So even if those in Congress who represent me have not found an opportunity to read the Bill I will be up to speed.
If you do have a chance to read through this let me know your thoughts. This will effect all of us in some way.
This Mama dog was selected to nurse these two red Panda cubs at a zoo in China. She was chosen out of several candidates after the cubs real mother abandoned them shortly after birth.
She has grown very attached and favors them at times over her own babies.
I was wondering what will happen once they begin to grow but I read that red Pandas are about the size and resemble a raccoon.
I thought this was a great example of shaing the LOVE!
At 3-weeks-old, the baby cubs have yet to open their eyes and have doubled in length to 20 centimeters (8 inches), Xinhua reported.
Unlike the more well-known, bear-like giant pandas, red pandas resemble raccoons with long bushy tails. There are believed to be fewer than 2,500 adult red pandas in the world.
