Diamondearrings.org

A wonderful thing came in the mail a few days ago, a pair of free diamond earrings! The owner of Diamondearrings.org had written to me about a week ago and asked if I would like a free sample of their earrings to review on my blog. Of course I said yes!!!

Well, a few days ago they came. Of course they aren't real diamond earrings, but the case they came in was crushed velvety and nice. In fact, that is what has taken me soo long to write this post. I wanted to take a picture of them and show how sparkly and pretty they are, but not one of my photo's did them justice! I think this blogger needs to go to photographer's school.

I want to give these earrings to one of my blog readers. This is where I really, really need your input. How should I decide who gets the brand new earrings? I really haven't a clue! So please comment, and give me some ideas!

FUD

You never now what is going to come up in conversation, the other day it was Go Girl. I had no idea what a Go Girl was, but waited for someone else to ask. I figured that I could Google it later on to find out, if needed.

"You know, it's a fud." I had no idea what a fud was either. I have pictures on my blog, so I'm sure you know.

Fud, as in ef u dee, fud. Go ahead and Google it, so I did. I wish though that I had stayed around for the whole conversation, because now that I know what a fud is, and generally how to use it, I'd like to ask more specific questions.

Apparently, fuds have been around for a long time, I just haven't been aware of them. May-be you have?

F emale

U rinary D evice ( or D irector) was the clever answer to non-existant or dirty toilets. The first one, or I guess to be more accurate, the first patent was in 1918 by Edyth Lacy. She called it the "Sanitary Protector." It was to be made of cheap material, so that it could be used once, and then discarded. Since then, many more fuds have been made. Most of them are made of silicone, and are made to be re-used. They aren't cheap either, then again, they are an investment in not having to worry about germy, toilet seats ever again. Truly, I am starting to think, that instead of training our daughters to sit on a potty, we will be training them to use a fud. One fud maker, the p-style, actually offers a bulk order discount.

We've seemed to come full circle now, the latest addition to the fud is the Urinelle from France. It is made of paper, and is bought in packs. Use it once and throw it away.

Now according to all the customer comments that I have read, fuds are incredibly easy to use, and take very little practice. I, on the other hand, am probably one of the least graceful (is it possible to be the most least graceful? If so, I am.) people you will ever meet. But you are supposed to be able to use these without having to "drop trou", if you wear zippered or button pants. Wearing a dress or skirt makes it that much easier, but I rather doubt it, and elastic waisted pants are a bit more tricky. Anyway, one of these days, the fear of the drug resistant germs and spotty toilets will probably drive me to buy a fud, though I'm not sure which one. They really do seem like a good idea.
