Everything For The Birds Spring Sale Going on Now

I have kept birds since I was seven years old. My first bird was a little white female Zebra finch. As time went on my love for these remarkable creatures has grown and so had my flock! I got a recent email from Everything For The Birds in Wilton Manors announcing that their babies have arrived. I live down in Key Largo and although we have stores closer, like the Aviary at Cauley Square, it is worth the trip to Wilton Manors. I have always gotten friendly and knowledgeable service from their staff. I left there today with three new babies: a beautiful pastel blue male parakeet and a pair of white finches. In addition to selling healthy hand raised babies, they offer a huge selection of toys, food, and other goodies to spoil your flock.

Too Many Spring 2013 Lookbooks Make for Strained Eyes

As a busy ashion editor of Tropic Style and with two successful fashion and style blogs, it seems every designer wants to be featured. I love fashion and I love talking about fashion. I am up to my strained eyeballs in Lookbooks. For those of you who don't know what those are, these are the electronic catalogues of the designer's latest collections. I have hundreds of them still to consider for features and editorials. Problem is, I suffer from migraines and eyestrain so my time in front of this tiny screen must be limited. Small screens are like looking through keyholes and we all know that straining causes wrinkles.  If anybody has any suggestions to remedy this problem let me know.
 
This is the same reason why I stress that I cannot and will not do any book reviews in ebook format.

The goofiest question a Walgreens pharmacy tech ever asked

I was just at the Walgreens im Plantation Florida at 10181 W. Broward BLvd. So I pass by their pharmacy and I see a big sign saying that they have "new" nebulizers for sale. I ask the pharmacy tech there if Walgreens has the replacement filters for a DevilBliss nebulizer. The girl gives us a bit of an odd look and asks " nebulizer, you mean for like breathing treatments?" I was left sratching my head. They have somebody working their pharmacy counter who has to ask for clarification on what a nebulizer is! What other kind of nebulizer is there? What else would you do with one? Sad and scary that employees like this are preparing your prescription order.
