Quick, Inexpensive Decorating Idea
This is just a fun little decorating idea that I want to share.
I collect boxes. Big boxes, little boxes, wooden boxes, paper boxes, decorative boxes. As long as they appeal to me, I collect them. I have them everywhere. One of the places that I have them is on my dresser.
The boxes on my dresserare nice. At least I like them. But, I felt that something was missing. They lacked... something. Perhaps there was too much... BROWN. I think that was it. Too dark... too lacklustre.
Then, one day, I was going through some old things, spring cleaning, so to speak. I ran across some wonderul, old Christmas glass ball ornaments. I loved them. I thought they were so pretty. I hated to throw them away, but I had moved on to a different color scheme. Then it dawned on me!
These were the colors in bedroom. Sure my colors were softer, but, these might just be that extra something that my box collection needed. So, I opened one of the boxes, placed the balls inside, hanger side down, and VIOLA!
For no money, I added a nice little touch to my room. And, it was so nice that the Christmas ornaments happen to match one of my favorite pefume bottles.
The large photo, because of the flash, doesn't show the true beauty of the balls, so I added a couple of pictures taken without the flash.
I reserve the right to be human and err. Nothing here was written to intentionally misinform or otherwise mislead. 2006 Trina Hoaks

Give and receive SAFE food gifts this Holiday Season
The last "gift" anyone wants to give during the holiday season is an upset stomach, food poisoning or some other illness caused by improper food prep and packaging. Here's some gemon sense and easy tips to avoid that: 1. Don't buy or send canned goods that are in swollen cans. Simple as that. No exceptions2. Make sure your food prep area is cleaned off with an anti-bacterial and food safe cleaning agent before you get to work making your gifts. 3. Don't use raw eggs in uncooked foods that will be given to young children or the elderly. Admittedly, there is some debate about this and plenty of people still use uncooked eggs. Some doctors feel that those with healthy immune systems will be fine; others say to play it safe. 4. Moist products are less fragile than dry, crisp cookies. On the other hand, if you are shipping overseas or to someone in the army or navy, keep in mind that homemade foods without preservatives may mold quickly. Time your shipments. 5. Consider making some foods to give to those who live nearby while buying from a reputable mail order house or seller on okay for other items. That way, you won't break your budget and you'll still be playing it safe. 6. If you send or receive food that has to be kept refrigerated, use dry ice and inspect any items you receive to make sure the box isn't at an unsafe temp from having been left outside or in a heated area all day. Do NOT HESITATE to call a gepany and geplain. A reputable one will provide customer satisfaction. If not, don't use them again. 7. You might double check and make sure your recipient WILL be home when your gift is due to arrive. Depending on how willing you are to let them know about the surprise, you might tell them to be around or suggest that something is on the way. Happy feasting!

A GUIDE TO LIVE BY!
Have we forgotten how to treat people fairly these days? I wonder this question more and more as I get older. Begeing a Senior Citizen several years ago, gees with a little knowledge about fairness and equality.
I have watched our values change in many ways. I see young people who have no manners, I see people cheating, stealing, lying, and I see a huge lack of respect for other people's property. It seems to me, and I could be looking through Rose tinted glasses, but it seems like we have all starting living in the "me, myself' and I" age again. I have watched parenting go in a total different direction, and it isa directionthat I don't like to see! Have we forgotten the definition of NO? Have we forgotten to teach our children the "Golden Rule"? Do you even know what the Golden Rule is anymore? It is a Bible verse, and goes like this. "DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU".
We have some very hard working people here on okay, both sellers and buyers alike. We also have some that do not believe in fair play (you know who you are), they go about attacking poeple's selling sites, their guides and reviews, etc., seemingly just having fun! This is NOT FUNNY, this is destroying poeple's property. It is the same as vandalism, robbery, and it is not legal to do so.
May I remind you of the "Golden Rule" again, if nothing else, just think about how you would feel if this were done to you. You would not like some one stealing from you, nor would you like to be vandalized, and you certainly would not like to be disrespected.
This is myGUIDE TO LIVE BY lesson; I hope it is not too late for all of us to learn it again!

AUSTRALIAN MOVIE POSTERS - Alfred Hitchcock daybills
AUSTRALIAN MOVIE POSTERS - Alfred Hitchcock daybills
This guide produced by John Reid Original Movie Posters
Australian daybill is a term used for posters that were used for the original release of movies in Australia. For more information on daybills see my guides.
PRE 1941
Daybills for many of the early classic Hitchcock movies from the 20s to the 40s are very scarce, if not impossible to find. Daybills for movies that were made pre 1941 were released as "long daybills" measuring approximately 15" x 40". To the best of my knowledge, the only daybills that have surfaced during this period are:
The Ring (1927)
Champagne (1928)
Blackmail (1929)
The 39 Steps (1935)
The Lady Vanishes (1938)
Rebecca (1940)
Mr and Mrs Smith (1940)
Foreign Correspondent (1941)
In most cases only one or twodaybills for these films have ever surfaced. I have never heard of or seen daybills for any of the other pre 1941 Hitchcock movies. This is a pity because the artwork on some of the long daybills was different to the US versions and unique to Australia. American one sheets and inserts for Hitchcock movies are much easier to find than Australian posters which were printed in considerably smaller quanitities.
1941 - 1957
Daybills for the movies from these yearshave been found but, in most cases, they are all exceedingly rare. In some cases like Suspicion andLifeboat, only one or two daybills have ever been seen. Others like Notorious, Dial M For Murder and Rope are also near impossible to find. This is unlike the US equivalents which can be found with relative ease at any time providing you have the money to spend.
1958-1975
Daybills from this era are generally easier to obtain with the exception of North by Northwest and Psycho which are both extremely rare. There are two full colour daybills for North by Northwest and one is clearly a reissue although it is nearly always passed off as original. The original features the same artwork as the US original one sheets and inserts and is printed by Chromo print while the reissue is very similar in style to the 1964 US reissue and is printed by Robert Burton. The original has rarely been seen but the reissue is still very desirable because itfeatures the famous cropduster scene against the backdrop of Mt Rushmore.
One or two dealers have had a number of "Vertigo" and "The Birds" daybills and most have been sold to America. Although they are easier to find than other daybills, the demand is very high fortwo of Hitchcock's classic films and the price is generally fairly high.
Posters for Torn Curtain, Topaz, Frenzy and Family Plot are generally easier to find and these do turn up occasionally on okay.
I wish you good luck with your Hitchcock collection and if you I can help in any way dont hesitate to contact me. I am still searching for some elusive posters so if you think you might have anything that I could be looking for please let me know.
