Uh oh!

Hello dear readers,
A fellow blogger recently got into "trouble" for using a photo on her blog that she found using a Google image search. She, like many people out there, assumed if she found it on Google and it didn't have a watermark or copyright on it that she was free to use it. She found out that that is not the case. She was sought after by the photo owner and was forced to pay for use of the photo on her blog. A blog much like mine where she posts about things that interest her and her day-to-day doings. A blog that makes her not one dime.
Because there are people "out there" whose personal and professional photos show up in search engines for all the world to see but who do not wish to have them shared on peoples blogs without fair and adequate compensation (which does NOT come cheaply) I have decided to do some editing on my blog to remove any photographs that I have not personally taken. It might take the "fun" out of a few posts, and a few post may have to be deleted altogether, but it beats being tracked down and forced to pay out hundreds of dollars that I don't have to the rightful owner of the photo.
So be warned my dear readers, either be the photographer of your blog photos or be prepared to pay for the use of other peoples work should they object. I for one would be thrilled that someone wanted to use one of my photos on their blog, but I'm really good at sharing. Momma taught me well :-D
That is all...
Have a lovely day!

Actual photo taken by your's truly. If someone "out there" wanted to use it on their blog, unaltered of course, I would be honored. Shocked, but honored!

Shame on me....

I've become a blog-slacker. (that's a real thing, right?)

So to end my shameful lack of blogging...I give you "Pinterest Pins of the Day".

Today's theme is Upcycle/Recycle.

Let's start with an oldie, but a goodie made from vintage photo slides! What better way to showcase vacation slides from your 1960's Disneyland trips but to turn them into a cool lampshade!

Next up, An old pickup truck tailgate turned into a kistchy retro style bench with cool vintage license plate covered arms:

And finally, something useful to do with that old computer tower that you're not using...turn the case into a one-of-a-kind mailbox. Put your mail where e-mail used to go!

Okay, that's all folks-gotta run cuz the dinner bell is a ringing!

Pain? I don't have no stinkin' pain!

I just gotta share this real quick:
I have been a sufferer of Plantar Fasciitis (it's a foot pain thing) for years and nothing I have done has helped. In fact, taking massive amounts of ibuprofen for the pain and inflammation actually caused me to have stomach issues. Well suffer no more, I have found a miracle! It's HEEL SEATS from the Heel That Pain website. In a desperate attempt to find something to find help for my feet I did a Google search for "heel pain" and their website came up. I figured for $14.95 I didn't have much to lose so I ordered a pair of their HTP Heel Seats. They came in the mail last Thursday and let me tell you what a difference they have made in my pain level. Within minutes of putting them in my shoes I had a 75% reduction in pain and I noticed this morning that I have virtually no pain at all while standing in my sneakers with my heel seats.

Normally just ordering 1 pair costs $24.95, but you can get them for $14.95 plus FREE shipping if you click on the "renewal"  offer and let them send you a new set every 90 days.
They also offer a Gel Heel Seat which is made of a softer material, but I went with the original heel seats. And they're not just for plantar fasciitis, they're for heel spurs and heel pain as well.
Disclaimer: Heel that pain does not know who I am and is in no way sponsoring the writing of this blog post with free stuff or anything. I'm just a customer who loves having pain-free feet!
Okay, that is all. Have a nice day!
