New Mom & Granny Shirts Added

(That's the latest - the transparent background - version of "Groovy Grandma" at left.)

Check out the "Sales & Features" section of the store For Women Old Enough... for featured Lent/Easter Christian crosses, flowers, green Celtic Christian crosses (St. Pat's is coming), and plenty - lot and lots - of pink graphics, as well as pink shirts. Think Spring.

Lots of new shirts have been added recently to this store (as well as my Music Stuff & More store). Just today I added transparent-background versions of the "Moms Rule", "Grannies Rule", and "Groovy Grandma" graphics so that they could be added to the dark shirts available on CafePress now (see "Groovy Grandma" graphic just above - the brand-new version).

"Dark", BTW, includes a jillion other colors now in addition to black. For example, green, red, and blue now come on "dark" shirts. Women's "dark" T-shirts now include purple (violet?), red, aqua, and gray. There are many more colors of shirts these days around here. And, V-necks are now available, and many more Women's-sized shirts.

Granny finds grenade in groceries

"I found a bomb in the potatoes," the woman said.

She noticed it wasn't a regular potato after she brought it home and was washing it up.

The good news is that the woman is safe and sound and able to tell her story.

No, this is not believed to be a terrorist act. Apparently an old WWII grenade was harvested along with the potatoes from a farm field in France.

Feeding your brain: new benefits found in chocolate

Trust me to come back again with a good-story about the benefits of chocolate (or red wine...).

Note that the Mars company funded this study. Just the same, it seems appear that chocolate in moderation and with enough cacaco in it (try the 60% variety), is a good for you.

(This good for the brain twist is a new one...)

Savings tumble poses risk to boomers

Are YOU saving?

From the article:

"The 1 percent negative savings rate in 2006 followed a 0.4 percent negative rate in 2005. There have been only four years in history that the savings rate has fallen into negative territory. The other two were 1932 and 1933 during the Great Depression."

And a woman is quoted saying: "I think we are consumer-driven. We have to have things."

NO, you don't freaking *have to have* things. Jeesh.

I'll admit that a portion of the problem is the troubling and growing gap between the haves and the have-nots. But, just the same...

(Can you tell I'm in a disgusted mood toward humanity - mostly my fellow Americans - today as a result of yesterday's report about our planet being busted, mostly on account of us, and there's not too much we can do about it. It's small satisfaction that I can say "I told you so." as I plan to purchase a couple of air conditioners. Looks as if I might be living closer to the beach someday - without even moving.)
