Would you feel more comfortable if you could surf the web anonymously?

Like many of us, you have probably spent more time surfing the Internet during the past few weeks than usual.

You probably shopped, sent greetings to friends and family by email, planned vacation and holiday trips, and possibly a lot more.

Whenever we are surfing, we are open to potential surveillance by unknown people.

It's possible for people to collect information about us even when we don't want to advertise who we are. This is true even if our system contains no virus or malware software.

Holidays Approaching! Christmas Greetings and other Family Fun Stuff

If you have children and grandchildren looking forward to Christmas as mine are, you can keep them occupied at my Christmas Greetings website with gifts, games, stories, and little fun type projects.

I put this webpage together with simple things to add to their excitement and to help parents and grandparents share in this excitement.

There's stuff there just for adults, too, like special holiday dessert recipes (chocolate cake, candy and pumpkin pies), stories about the holidays to read to the children, instructions for creating some easy to make gifts and holiday decorations, and even a special coloring book that can be downloaded and printed for everyone to share.

In keeping with the holiday spirit, it's all free. I have a few more fun things to add over the next few weeks until Christmas. Want to know how many weeks, and days, (even minutes and seconds) until then?

You can check that right at the Christmas Greetings website.

Would you like your little ones to get a personal letter from Santa? You can arrange for that, too.

Enjoy

Words, Words, Words - to savor and abuse

In spite of all of the technological communication tools available to us, words are at the core of nearly everything we do. We read them, we write them, we speak, whisper, and shout them.

We can paint mind pictures, create and change relationships, make love, and make enemies all through our choice of words.

I just read a post about the use of words that I want to share, because the author, Arlene Bice has touched on another use of words - demeaning, insulting and assassination of character. So rampant during this charged time before our National elections.

And who are the offenders, read Arlene's post here Arlene S. Bice blog: Political Words

Shouldn't we all take Time to Think about the words we hear and evaluate what they are intended to portray?
