Funny song lyrics
Wednesday, December 17th, 2014ROTFLMAO, hilarious!!!! (this phenomenon btw. was made ‘famous’ in NL by 3FM DJ Timur as ‘Mama Appelsap’)
Haha, song texts are not always clear and shortcuts are easy; I remember singing ‘Freedom, whoo-ho-ho-ho’ instead of ‘Feed the World’ in Band Aid’s ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas’ song! LoL

Gift wrapping done right (and FAST! :) )
Friday, December 12th, 2014Here’s a great time saver for y’all, and…just in time for the Xmas (gift wrapping) Season! 🙂
Follow the example in this Youtube video and you too will be done wrapping in about 12 seconds, woohoo!! Oh, this trick can be used out of season too btw. He he, I just love these hacks! 🙂
(disclaimer; I am not a big fan of Christmas turning into a gift-exchange-bonanza, I value quality time with loved ones during the Xmas Season a LOT more…with or without presents or a tree for that matter!)
