What is more annoying than a prank call, telemarketing call or even worse a phone call from someone that is out to steal your identity. Today I found a great site to block, report or check out unknown phone numbers to see if they are on the call list of known scams or spammers. Today everyone needs to be careful what information you give out and no one wants unwanted calls from anyone especially on your cell phone when you are paying for the calls or messages.
This link http://www.everycall.us/ can help you see who is calling and you can report those irritating calls that may help someone else not get scammed. By reporting these calls everyone may be able to stop these thieves. This is a totally free service that can help stop, check or alert others about spam calls.
It also has information about getting on the "Federal no call list" and the State no call list. I recommend this site to anyone that needs to check a number out and/or report harassing phone calls. Working together we can block or stop those unwanted numbers that waste your time and money.

Saving money, time and space with books
Originally you pay about $120 for a Kindle 3. As a person with little space in my home for books I simply could not fit one more book on my shelves. My husband and I are avid readers and have spent thousands of $$$ on books. Now except for my reference books they are rarely used and take time dusting and space needed for the important things like pictures of my grandchildren. The Kindle 3 is a great way to save money, time and space and I have more information that is easily found.
This solves many of my problems at one time. No more dusting and less expense sure helps in this generation. I download free information that is valuable and pay less for books that we read. They are easy to read and store information that I want. To learn more about this product go to Kelly Says and see my review of this product.
If you already have one you are light years ahead of me. There is one good thing about not buying the first product made is they make a newer version that has been updated and all the bugs are fairly well worked out by then. One more idea is to trade off books with friends or visiting your local library if you have the time.

I would really appreciate your feedback, suggestions or events that you would like to let people in Kansas City know about. Buying local vegetables helps our economy and growing your own plants saves you even more. To save money at the grocery store on the rising costs of vegetables many people are growing gardens in 2011.

A Single Blade Of Grass and Humans
I remember all that I am grateful for and it includes the little to the big things. I started thinking of the blade of grass story and how the Lord took such care in making a single blade of grass. Many single blades of grass make up a yard but a closer look and each are unique.
With even more care God created humans in his own image. Grouped together we are just a big crowd of people that look similar. Humans are like the blades of grass there are no two people that look or act alike.
The things that make each of us different can only be seen if we take the time to look closer.
Enjoy the miracles of people that cross our paths in life as they are for a reason. We may not know why at the time especially if they are not like us at all. We all learn things from each other that helps us grow in ways we may not expect.
Take the first step to get to know a person as they may need you as much as you need them. New people in my life have taught me a lot but I would have never known if I listened to what others said about them. Some ended up becoming my best friends. You can never have too many friends.
Have a great Easter!

Easter Eggs & Jesus
Easter is related to Christianity and even before that it was a celebration of springtime arriving. Christians celebrate the 40 days of lent which leads up to the death of Jesus Christ. With Jesus dying on the cross for our sins so that we could have eternal life in heaven. This is a very important holiday for Christians and during the 40 days of Lent we give up something or add something to have a closer relationship with Jesus. It is a time of new beginnings and a fresh start of growth both outside and inside.
Easter eggs symbolize “the seed of life” which symbolizes Jesus resurrection after his death 3 days before on what is called Good Friday. The Easter Bunny is a Rabbit spirit that would lay eggs, which led to children hunting of the eggs. Since rabbits so not lay eggs maybe this is one reason we began to dye them. Kids are smart and know that eggs come from chickens. The oddest thing about Easter as a child is that I never question the legend but sure did enjoy it.
I always got new clothes to wear to church and waking up with a basket full of chocolate candy and marshmallow shaped like rabbits was such a thrill. Being raised a Christian it had more to do with Jesus so there was never a reason to question the legend. I sure did enjoy the chocolate candy and eating a big dinner with extended family.
Dying the eggs was always messy but with the new improved dyes there are many unique ways to decorate them. My brothers and sister would do spoon races by holding the end of a spoon in our mouth and passing it to the sibling on the other end. We had hours of fun hiding a re-hiding the eggs. We also made up clues that each one followed to find the egg when we were older. We also had plastic eggs with money in them and that was always fun. There are many games to play during Easter.
My mom hid the eggs when we were young as we hid in the house. It never failed that somehow we never ended up with all the real eggs we hid. Months later we may come across one and laugh as we threw the stinking egg far enough away as not to smell it. If you have ever smelled a rotten egg you know why. Think of how they smell when they are cooking on the stove and multiple that times a million after they have set for many months in the sun. They stink!
I hope you have a wonderful Easter with many good memories and enjoy the Spring weather. I will pray for no rain so the hunt can go on. School will be out soon and Memorial Day will be here!
