Help needed
Does anyone know of anyone that would donate lumber to a needy family for a handicap ramp? My friend Norm, that hit the dump truck head o n will hopefully get out of rehab around the 28th. They desperately are in need of a ramp so he can get in and out of the house.Surely there is someone out there that could donate some lumber.....that's not asking for much at all. Eblen and 2 others turned them down because Tiff is still working and they own their own house. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Please pray that this family gets the help they need. For a family that has lost so much due to this accident, they haven't asked for much..

Found Dog
Found in Mills River on 8-2. She is very sweet, obviously older, & had no problem hopping into a car. No tags, but there is a chain around her neck. Let me know if she could be yours or if she could belong to someone you know. Thanks for spreading the word!

June 11th is coming soon--can you help these kitties find a home?
These gorgeous babies are looking for a new home, as their current owner is moving far away & can't keep them anymore. Please pass this link along to responsible pet-friendly people who might be able to help. June 11th is the deadline. Thanks ahead of time for your help. Email me at : wncwebgrl@gmail.com & I'll make sure to get your message to the owner.
All cats are neutered/spayed and they are presently outdoor animals but would adapt well to being indoors too. Any help you can give would be much appreciated. Tux, the black cat, is a male, always purring; Face, the female in the tree is the mother. Torti-Cat likes to sit in laps, & is very friendly.

Spokeo
Lots of questions in my email this morning about Spokeo. I'll try to answer some questions here.
Spokeo was created by some students at Stanford. Consistently self-billed as a "search engine", Spokeo uses an algorithm to collect data that is already out there & create a searcheable profile. Some of the information might not be totally accurate or up to date either, since Spokeo does not use humans to make decisions about profiles. (Click here to read what they have to say about that).
For instance, when searching my own profile, I learned that I have 2 children. When did that happen? I sure wasn't aware of it... I was also able to find out how long I've lived in my home, what my home might be worth, who my husband was (like I could forget that), what our street name was, what my interests were, etc. I was a bit surprised to find out that one of my interests was cooking. Actually it was Randy who was surprised ...
Spokeo uses info from social sites, real estate records, magazine subscriptions, census data, & who knows what else. The info has been out there all along. If you are on MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, Picassa, LinkedIn, public message boards, newsletter subscriptions, etc., you could potentially have that info aggregated into a profile.
Spokeo makes money by selling subscriptions to people/companies trying to collect consolidated information on a certain profile or profiles. This could include: loan companies, bill collectors, private investigators, psycho ex-boyfriends, & the like.
Then the psycho ex-boyfriend (or whoever) can use GoogleMaps to get a photo of your house & exact driving directions from the jail to your neighborhood. Now the folks you paid a penny to in the 70's to get your record collection started from can find you & repossess all your Peter Frampton & Bay City Roller vinyl.
I find it interesting & disturbing that Spokeo protects those searching for you, but won't protect you from the searchers if you request it. So you'll never know who is looking for you!
Click here to read what they have to say about that.
The thing that is bothering folks emailing me today is that:
So now what? Well, as I've said all along, there's no such thing as a free lunch. When you sign up for something & it doesn't cost you money, there's a good chance that your privacy is going bye bye.
I don't know how to erase data from sites like this. I wish I did, but I don't. I'm not sure it's possible at all. I'll keep checking & will let you know what I find out. Till then take a few deep breaths & go read some George Orwell.

Some of the information might not be totally accurate or up to date either, since Spokeo does not use humans to make decisions about profiles. (Click here to read what they have to say about that).
For instance, when searching my own profile, I learned that I have 2 children. When did that happen? I sure wasn't aware of it... I was also able to find out how long I've lived in my home, what my home might be worth, who my husband was (like I could forget that), what our street name was, what my interests were, etc. I was a bit surprised to find out that one of my interests was cooking. Actually it was Randy who was surprised ...
Spokeo uses info from social sites, real estate records, magazine subscriptions, census data, & who knows what else. The info has been out there all along. If you are on MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, Picassa, LinkedIn, public message boards, newsletter subscriptions, etc., you could potentially have that info aggregated into a profile.
Spokeo makes money by selling subscriptions to people/companies trying to collect consolidated information on a certain profile or profiles. This could include: loan companies, bill collectors, private investigators, psycho ex-boyfriends, & the like.
Then the psycho ex-boyfriend (or whoever) can use GoogleMaps to get a photo of your house & exact driving directions from the jail to your neighborhood. Now the folks you paid a penny to in the 70's to get your record collection started from can find you & repossess all your Peter Frampton & Bay City Roller vinyl.
I find it interesting & disturbing that Spokeo protects those searching for you, but won't protect you from the searchers if you request it. So you'll never know who is looking for you!
Click here to read what they have to say about that.
The thing that is bothering folks emailing me today is that:
- no one was asked ahead of time if they could be included in this database of information
- the information is only partially accurate
- the information includes income, credit scores, personal photos (including children) & overall wealth in the same listing.
- personal data is now public & connected to a real name. In other words a personal email address can be connected to a name which is connected to a phone number & address & spouse, etc.
- you can't control who sees your data
So now what? Well, as I've said all along, there's no such thing as a free lunch. When you sign up for something & it doesn't cost you money, there's a good chance that your privacy is going bye bye.
I don't know how to erase data from sites like this. I wish I did, but I don't. I'm not sure it's possible at all. I'll keep checking & will let you know what I find out. Till then take a few deep breaths & go read some George Orwell.

It's So Yellow Out Here
A perfect pollen storm today in my backyard...
A Weather Channel tweet yesterday put the pollen count in Atlanta at 5063. "Extremely High" is anything over 150.
Hendersonville is usually about 2-3 weeks behind Atlanta so we probably haven't seen the worst of it yet.

Raw Chocolate Vitamix Recipe
Here's a variation of one I posted a while back. I'm bringing it back because it is so good & still one of my favorites!
Raw Chocolate Pudding-ish Dessert
•1 ripe avocado
•3 tbs raw cacao (powder woks best with this)
•1 tsp vanilla
•3 pitted dates
•1 cup of pure water
Add all the ingredients to the Vitamix, blend with water to your desired consistency. *note--using the water you soaked the dates in will add flavor. I call it pudding-ish because it doesn't taste like Jello pudding--which is what you might expect. It tastes far better! Very intense chocolate flavor.
For variety you could add strawberries or bing cherries to the mix.
We also occasionally lower the water content on the mixture so it's doughy then roll it in crushed pecans. I like this recipe because it's so quick & so versatile. Hope you enjoy as well!

Raw Chocolate Recipes
My daily staple:
1 Gala Apple
freshly ground peanut butter
raw chocolate (powder works best with this recipe)
raw honey or agave--your choice!
Slice the apple then mix the rest of the ingredients together. Smear the apple slices with the mixture, go outside on your porch & make the squirrels jealous!
One note--it's really easy to over-do the sweet taste so go easy on the honey/agave in the beginning. You really only need it if the peanut butter is too thick to mix well.
Simple pleasure...

The Creepy IHOP Commercial
"This is what IHOP looks like in your nightmares! Back in 1969, this IHOP commercial aired just like this. Why does this look like it was produced by John Wayne Gacy?
Did this commercial actually bring in new customers? Because after watching this nightmare-inducer, I'm assuming that as soon as you finished enjoying a delicious stack of pancakes (laced with something, of course) a laughing clown in an orange waitress uniform bludgeoned you to death with a coffee carafe."

Oh Spring, Where Art Thou?
I am sure that I echo my peers in asking the question. Can it really be that I'll soon feel a warm breeze? Ah hope...

Snow!
How fun to listen to everyone (and I do mean everyone) talking about the snow that we got. We have about 7 inches here, with a nice shiny coat of ice on top.

Help Find This Kitty's Home!
He showed up this afternoon--he would show up on the coldest day we've had in a long time, right before a snowstorm...
We can't keep him & have him kenneled right now, but can't afford to do that for very long.
Here's a link with more information.

Today's Favorite Thing
I have never been so cold in my life as I have been the last week or so. It makes me realize how lucky I have been because I know now that I've never really experienced cold--real cold, the kind that goes right through you as soon as you step outside. Lately I've been looking longingly on Amazon for a warm hat (which I don't need because I've already got several). Then on to a few shoe sites to gaze at lined boots (of which I would probably never wear).
My only purchase in the last week were the slippers on the left. Marked down to $6.50 at Bed Bath and Beyond in the Hendersonville mall, I just couldn't resist.
And yes, they are really warm!
