UPDATE:
I just looked into this on Snopes and it says it is false. I usually, always check these things out before posting them, but since this came from our Home Owners, I assumed it was true.
My bad! But at the least, it does make you be a little more aware of your surroundings. Again, sorry for the false post.
This just came to us from our
Home Owners Association.
We live in Houston, but if it's happening here, more and likely it is happening all over the country.
Better safe than sorry!!

Dear Sunshine,
Thank you for showing up yesterday. Sammy and I really enjoyed the park.
Dear Kisha,
Thanks so much for all your help getting my first "Weekly Goals" Blog Hop off the ground. I really do appreciate all your help. It seems to be doing pretty well, Thanks to everyone that linked up this week.
Dear Don,
I am sorry I didn't make lunch with you and the girls. I just didn't feel like driving 40 minutes in traffic just to turn around and drive it back. Maybe next time it could be a little closer.
Dear Jackson,
I am sorry I haven't put your game in the mail sooner. It has rained hard here for 2 days. But, it is now in the mail. You should have it by Tuesday. I love you buddy!
Dear Brittany,
Call your grandmother once in a while. I miss you.
Dear Laci,
I have really enjoyed our long talks lately. I miss you very much.
Dear Florida,

Fill In The Blank Friday!
Hello friends! My daughter, Kisha is starting Fill in the Blank Friday's again. So answer these questions for yourselves and link up .
This is a really fun Linkup!!!
My new year started off
really great. Looking forward to see what 2013 has in store for me.
In 2013 I really want to accomplish
Getting all my recipes in order. I have so many that I need to go through and put them all in one place.
On cold January days, I stay warm by
building a fire and a warm blanket.
My favorite comfort food is
Biscuits and gravy although I do try not to eat this to often
January reminds me of
better things to come. Spring is right around the corner. My trip to Mackinac is coming up and then there's summer.
My favorite winter sport is
Figure skating. I can watch it inside my house and stay warm. I hate the cold.
My favorite January TV shows are
Big Bang Theory, hands down the best show on TV.
Everybody Loves Raymond, Frasier, Cheers. I love the comedies
Here's where you can link up at for Fill in the Blank Friday!

Be careful at gas stations & parking lots/criminals giving free key rings with device chip.There is a syndicate of criminals presenting themselves as sales promoters who are giving free key rings at gas stations and parking lots. The key ring has a tracking device chip which allows the criminals to track and follow you.

It's Ok Thursday!
IT'S OK
that I got up and got ready to meet Don, Meagan and Jacey for lunch, then decided not to go. It would have took me 40 minutes to get where they are and in Houston traffic. No thank you.
IT'S OK,
that I build a fire and forgot to open the damper. The house got a little smoky but the fans cleared it out.
IT'S OK
if I don't get everything done on my goals list this week. I will put them on next weeks. But I am still trying to finish it.
IT'S OK
that I didn't go anywhere at all for the last two days. It was pouring rain both days and I just did not want to drive in it.
IT'S Ok
if I just go to the park with Sammy today and read. I just don't feel like doing a lot today.
IT'S OK
that I am having a Big Mac attack today. Guess what's for lunch? :)
IT'S OK
that it's ok!

I look like my mother. My daughter Kisha looks like her also, and people say Laci looks just like me, but I just don't see it. But she must because the only thing she got from her father was his toes.

One way to use those wine corks!!
A great way to use a few of those
corks from wine bottles!!
My daughter, Laci decided she needs to lose a few pounds so she
decided to keep track by putting two jars together.
One for pounds to lose
The other for pounds lost.
What a great motivator to see the one
jar go down and the pounds lost to go up.
I really love this idea.
Good luck honey. I love you.
Do you drink wine!!
Are you a wine drinker at home???
What do you do with those 1 or 2 glasses that can't go in the dishwasher. Do you wash them by hand then dry them and put them up, or wash them and put them on the edge of the sink to dry. Either way, thanks to my daughter, Kisha, I now have a wonderful solution.
A wine glass holder
AWESOME!!!
I love, love, love this.
Problem solved!
Thank you Kisha. I love it and i love you!!
This is a wonderful idea!!
Prevention of Drug-Facilitated Sexual Assault with DrinkSavvy Color Chan...
Cups that change colors to warn you of date rape drugs
Typically date rape drugs are so hard to detect because they're odorless, colorless, and tasteless that many unsuspecting revelers aren't aware they're being victimized until it's too late.
Now a start-up called DrinkSavvy is hoping to fight sexual assault by warning people about what may be in their cup. DrinkSavvy, which is currently looking for funds on Indiegogo
, has developed a line of cups, straws and drink stirrers that can detect “date rape” drugs, instantly.
, has developed a line of cups, straws and drink stirrers that can detect “date rape” drugs, instantly.
DrinkSavvy founder Mike Abramson worked with chemistry professor John MacDonald at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts to develop a special material that changes color when it comes in contact with three common 'date rape' drugs: GHB, ketamine, and rohypnol. Abramson is offering the products online for free at select rape crisis centers, and hopes to expand their use at bars, colleges, and clubs.
He says he got the idea for the cups after he was a victim of the drugs himself. “Within the past three years, three of my very close friends — and myself — have been the unwitting victims of being drugged. … And I want to prevent it from happening to anyone else,” he said.
This isn't the first attempt to introduce drug-detecting drinking devices. In August, a professor at Tel Aviv University developed an anti-date rape straw which could detect ketamine and GHB.

What an awesome idea. I hope to see these everywhere soon. I have a daughter
in college and I worry about every time she goes out.
Bring on those cups!!
