Saturday PhotoHunt & Photo Hunting - Fluffy and Dark


Please visit Sandi @the WhistleStop Cafe for more Saturday PhotoHunt pics.

FLUFFY



This was Nikki's ( my niece) costume last Halloween.  She was a rabbit and her fur is so fluffy!

DARK

My entry for dark is the Dancing Water show in Macau.  The stage is very dark but the lights from the dancing water were too beautiful to watch.

Happy hunting everyone.  Hope you all have a fabulous weekend.

Deal With Home Repairs Easily

Minor damages can happen in your household that can be easily repaired. These repairs can be securing shingles coming off the roof, replacing gutters, fixing a broken window and more. Most of them can be done by yourself, and don’t require too much funding.

However, some repairs may need more attention and therefore, more money. This is when you need to hire a professional to do your home repair. Any home repair—from window pane replacement to a complete renovation—can be costly. If you do not have enough cash saved for emergency repairs, you can always obtain personal installment loans online through a variety of reputable lenders.

A Leaky Roof

Unless you are a handy person who knows roofing, you may need to hire a professional. Roofing repairs often require shingles and wood to be removed in order to find the leak. This is costly, especially if the leak has been lingering for some time. It can cause wood to rot and spread throughout your rooftop. Costs for repairing a roof vary. Hence, make sure to check different professionals to find a price you are comfortable with.

Cracked Driveway

This is typical, especially if you live in areas where the ground is frequently dry. Concrete expands and contracts with cold and hot weather. If it consistently happens to be cold, then immediately is hot, there is a chance your concrete will start to crack. Sometimes the cracks are minor but ugly, and can be fixed with a little cement.
But for large cracks, the repairs for this are costly and require the concrete be completely removed and laid down again. A professional should be the one to complete this. They can assess how much of the concrete should be removed and have it laid down without too much trouble.

Termite Damage

These little insects can be easily eliminated with an exterminator. However, they cause great damage to wood and make it weak and unstable. Foundations can be ruined and cause your house to be inviting to other smaller creatures. Wood from termite damage has to be removed and replaced.

Getting repairs done can require a lot of money. Cash loans that you can repay on a monthly installment basis can help with this necessity. Try to assess how big of a loan you may need to cover your home repairs to get your home back into its tiptop condition.

Did You Know?


Green beans fight inflammation.  There are compounds in these veggies that have strong antioxidants and anti-inflammatory actions.  These then prevents the oxidation of LDL cholesterol to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.  The extract from green beans also inhibit the action of an enzyme that's known to cause inflammation.

A New Stuff

When I first heard about upright electric bass from my son, I knew it was a musical instrument.  I was thinking that it looks something like a guitar.  Well, I was right.  It's a string instrument but it's a little different than the traditional and bass guitars that we all used to know.  It is upright as the name says and it's a lot slimmer than an ordinary guitar.  The electric bass is very light and has a sweet sound.  The boys in school (including mine) are getting crazy over these guitars and every one is eager to have their own instrument.  My son and I are both saving for it.

Back to Crafting

My daughter and I have tried making jewelries before.  We used to go to Quiapo to buy beads, charms, clasps, chains, hooks, strings, and other materials for our jewelry making projects; but we've never tried making the charms and plastic stones on our own.  Simply because we didn't know how and we had no idea that there are available kits for making them.  I only knew about it recently when I was looking for a particular charm.  I saw one website that's selling resin jewelry molds, resins and colors,patinas and colors, and other materials.  When I told my daughter about it, she was excited too and we've decided to go back to jewelry making.  I have ordered for a few resin molds; both of us can't wait to start with our new project.
