The Christmas Oratorio

Books
Göran Tunström's The Christmas Oratorio - what can I say about this book that is not already widely known? I loved everything. I've read all the novels in an effort to find out what happened in these books. So, this is an entertaining read even if I don't really get too much through it to begin with. A novel not even known in the US has become the most cult Swedish novel of all time. I'm an optimist and think that the best of two worlds holds. The world without the threat of the supernatural, in which we live, is a very boring and unproductive place. In my experience, when we're surrounded by people who seem quite normal and friendly, we're able to learn about them more quickly, and become friends better. It's much easier to trust people when they're really, truly human beings. They don't

Swisher Sweets Cigars

Activities
Swisher sweets cigars are the decadent smoke I sneak when I need one. I have to say, I've come to love the cigar and I don't seem to have a problem finding them in my humidor. I sometimes go high end, and each cigar I smoke tends to be different from one to another and is often different than when I ordered it. But I come back to swishers. Great cigars, great price. Always an everyday smoke. I've been purchasing these for years and have always been satisfied with them. If you come in here and want to get a good smoke, I wouldn't hesitate! I'm from Tampa FL and I haven't been smoking these cigars for almost 2 years now and they still taste like a solid generic smoke blends. During the summer months the prices are too high. I feel like I've found something that can help me and my friends r...

New Coke

Food, Historical
New coke was the drink that changed my life. In college, I was trying to stay away from alcohol, because I was thinking I might be crazy if I had too many. And that's what coke was to me. It filled that gap. I realized that coke was what I really needed. One of a kind coke that would last me through the day, every day. I could really only buy one brand, and it was Coke. I tried new coke when it first came out, and I was shocked. It was like that scene in movies where you see an army of demons attacking. At first, I didn't like it, but after my second I had a panic attack. It made my head spin, and for a week I slept for 2 or 3 nights every night. I remember asking myself in my mind, Is it worth switching? And my mind kept answering yes, but I didn't want to use it. The sickly

Mrs. Meyer’s – Liquid Hand Soap Refill

Home Goods
I am a bit of a clean freak. I am clean, but am also quite well. No dirt. I'm not too ashamed to admit that I'm a very open person. One thing I always need is a good soap By the time I was 15 years old, I had done more washing than my entire family had done. And I was making enough money at least to eat dinner. This soap is one of the best soap refills I have tried. This is one of the main reasons I love this brand. They do make great shaving gels, so if you're looking for something to make shaving go easier then this is worth a try. If you have not tried it, its so worth it. Love that it contains the highest amount of phthalates of any soap refills I have tried. It has great color, feels so smooth. It does not dry or clog up your hair. The ingredients range from soap ingred...

Bulk Marshmallows

Food
I never thought I would buy marshmallows in bulk. As a kid my parents could never afford to buy enough food for us all.  I think most people understand that food purchases can be difficult on a family budget, but we tend to forget something important when it comes to food when we are hungry.   When we eat it, what we don't appreciate is how much longer it is going to take us to get everything. bulk marshmallows are great for satisfying our sweet tooth but some of us are not so thrilled to add them to our lunchboxes! They are packed full of sugar, fats and high fructose corn syrup which can be problematic to some folks. One of the good things about marshmallows is that they have no artificial sweetener in them which means they can be as sweet as you want them to be. I love...
