My need to purchase an additional computer monitor, stemmed from my desire to work online, some place other than my bedroom, where I was using my 54 inch tv screen that I had connected to my laptop. Now that I'm so used to working on such a huge screen when I work online, it's hard to function on smaller monitors, like the one my 15 inch laptop has. When I created a new workspace in my living room, to help break up the monotony of things, I had a great time shopping online for computer monitors. Below are some interesting selections and great buys that I ran across.

For the most part, I can honestly say that I'm in pretty decent shape for an old woman over 60. As a matter-of-fact, I've been taking Balance of Nature for over a year and I feel fantastic when I don't forget to take my pills for the day. Oddly enough, now that I'm 67, I sometimes feel better than I did when I first hit my 60's. At the time, I was experiencing more of the joint pain that I only occasionally feel nowadays. Maybe I'm so used to it, I don't really know it's there anymore. Whatever the case, I'm glad I only have my “old folks” aches and pains on an occasional basis.

These items can help people who aren't dealing with joint conditions that require them to be under a doctor's care.

One of the most memorable things about life with my ex-husband (besides our only child - now a grown man), was how much he loved the hobby of raising Roller pigeons. Watching these amazing birds perform in a way that nature designed them to behave, was always so breathtaking for me. This hobby was something my husband had engaged in since he was a young boy, and when I met him at age 27, he was still very much involved in this activity. For the 10 years that we stayed married, he continued what I discovered, was a very intriguing hobby, that eventually grew on me. My Amazon book: Harder to Forget (A Short Romance Story), is based on the early days of my life, and in that story, I mention the birds quite a bit. This Benable list of recommendations, display the various items that were part of our monthly expenses, related to raising these remarkable birds, that included both Birmingham Rollers and also Pensom Rollers.
