Classic Navy Blue is Back | Gomestic

We ladies do enjoy decorating and making changes in the house. Especially before the holidays when family and friends will be dropping in. There is good news for anyone who plans to redo the house before Christmas. Navy blue is back. It was popular several years ago, but it quietly died away. Now glossy navy blue is going strong again. For walls, cabinets, furniture and slip covers, decorators are using it everywhere.

Hungry Children in America | Socyberty

We have children in America who go to bed every night hungry. The shame is that we grow plenty of food for our citizens and ship food to other countries. So why must our children suffer hunger? There are programs in place. But there is a stigma in accepting free food. Besides that problem, many people who qualify never know food is available. Georgia is hoping to change that.

New Treatments for Irritable Bowel Syndrome | Healthmad

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a painful condition that many people suffer from. It causes pain, bloating, constipation and an uncomfortable stomach. Some patients say treatments available do not control pain or symptoms. But the good news for sufferers is alternative treatments are available. There are options and the same treatment doesn’t work for everyone. Hypnosis works for some people, and cognitive therapy works for others. Some patients use both treatments.

Romney Wants to Privatize The VHA | Socyberty

Mitt Romney wants to dismantle the present system of Veterans Health Care and replace it with privatization, even though the VHA provides better care for veterans than private citizens receive, and at less cost. Why change a program that’s working? Ask a Republican. It’s their fundamental believe that the private sector can do a better job than the government. Anyone can look at our Health Care System with insurance companies, doctors and hospitals all working for profit and see how that works. It puts half the population out of any kind of healthcare.

Ian Flemming and James Bond | Socyberty

Ian Fleming was the author of the James Bond novels. Plots, action, adventure, and beautiful women all wrapped up in an exciting package. We could hardly wait for the next book, and later the movies. We had had nothing like it before. 007 was the man of romance and action. Although Ian Fleming had seen no personal action, he was a key aide to Britain’s head of naval intelligence, and he had a great imagination and a golden typewriter. We are all the richer for Ian Fleming.

How to Make Southern Biscuits | Notecook

How to Make Southern Biscuits | Notecook

If you have ever eaten good Southern biscuits you know what I’m talking about. They are melt in your mouth good. Put that sweet butter in there with some blackberry jam, pour yourself a hot cup of coffee and sit back and eat. I used to make them every morning for breakfast and sometimes for dinner and supper. I don’t do that anymore but I do make Southern style biscuits often. They still taste just as delicious. Try my recipe for Southern biscuits and see if you agree with me.
