Article — Emergency Planning for a Tornado – What You Need to Know
Do you know what to do in the event of a tornado hitting your area? Are you even prepared? Given the numerous outbreaks of the past few weeks, it's probably something you want to think about. As long as you have a general plan formed in advance, it will keep you and your family from panicking during a storm, and quite possibly save your lives. The first and most important thing you need to know before coming up with any tornado preparedness plan is the difference between the types of warnings. A watch means to 'watch out'; the conditions are right for a tornado. A warning means 'take cover immediately'; a tornado has either been spotted on the ground or has shown up on radar. Many times people get the terms switched, so knowing them ahead of time could potentially save your life. The second thing is knowing the safest areas to take shelter during a tornado. If you are in your house, the best places to take cover would be in a basement or in a hallway that is away from any outside ...
Product Review – Group Story
I was recently invited to try out Group Story. Group Story is a website that allows people creating a photo book have having everyone join a group and upload pictures. You can then choose which pictures go into the book, the page layouts, and even add text. When it's completed, everyone in the group can order one. The concept of the site is wonderful, and I was really looking forward to creating a book of Hannah's first year. However, there were a few issues that spoiled some of the experience. The website itself is very easy to navigate and use. There are step by step instructions for the entire creation process, so you can figure out how everything works pretty quick. After I first set up my account, I uploaded a few pictures. Uploading was quick and easy, and you an label the pictures if you want. I didn't bother with it, and moved onto testing out the page creator...which is where I hit my first snag. The applet that runs the page creator does not work in Internet Explorer. ...
Sometimes I Feel I’m Married to a Five Year Old…
Jason and I have been married four years, and I love him to death. I don't know what I would do without him. Yet, there are times he acts like such a little kid! For instance, last night, we were done eating dinner and were watching 'I Am Number Four' (decent movie by the way) on the couch. I asked him if he wanted any more food and he leans over the coffee table, picks up his fork, and starts scratching his back with it! I just sat there with my mouth open for a second before I started getting on to him. I ened up having to take the fork away from him becasue he woudn't stop. He just sits there grinning like he's doing something completly normal.He does stuff like this all the time. One minute we'll be stitting there talking about the news or something...the next he'll be trying to get me to smell his socks. I'm going to assume that most men are like this becasue my mom complains about my dad all the time. My dad will walk around with a pocket flashlight stuck up his nose ...
