The Buzz on Ace’s Web World

If you are looking for pool cues this is the site! Everything Pool and Billiards, plus Free Tournament Brackets! It is not just pool either; there are posters of all kinds, a bookstore, a music store, an area just for kids, NASCAR fan shop, sports page and so much more! All these products in one convenient place with easy navigation and great prices, too!

The Fine Arts poster site was a terrific find for me. I have been lucky enough to travel the world and visit many, many museums. From which I bought back numerous posters, some have been ruined and it was awesome to find them again! Same quality, better price! The Florida vintage posters brought back some fond memories of the old Art Deco South Beach. Not about clubs and celebrities, but about great Architecture.

There is also the edu.aceswebworld.com and educational site in which you can find short biographies of “The Presidents of the United States” along with related links, books and posters. All in one easy, convenient page! I also found Ace’s Bio-farm to be enlightening. Here you will find artists, authors, musicians and NASCAR biographies.

My favorite area of Ace’s site was his short stories section. I was enthralled by his stories. Found that I had to finish each and everyone before going on with my day. My favorite one was “The Kid Who Beat Mosconi”, by Ace Toscano. The mother in-law in this story reminds me of my own grandma. Good thing I am the ‘apple of her eye’ or else I would have it really bad!

Ace Toscano is my dad’s best friend. They have been friends ever since I can remember. We call him Pana, that’s my dad’s nickname for him. I believe it means friend, buddy, and partner in crime. I can see them going out and raising hell! Pana loves pool, my dad loves soccer. They each have their respective blogs on the topics they are passionate about. Both were built by Pana who is helping my dad into the 21^st century! Pana and his wife now live in Florida. We do not get to see them as much as we would like.

I spent my first Easter at Pana’s, had my first snowball fight and built my first snow fort with Michele, Pana’s daughter. Michele was my first friend in the USA; we were pen pals before I came over and then play mates. I couldn’t even write at the time, they used double lined paper where it was written in English and then translated underneath by my dad. My grandma read them to me. I remember my excitement when I learned to write and was able to write my own letter! Grandma still has them, safe with all my pictures and various keepsakes.

Soon after, grandma and I came to the US. I learned English with Pana and his family. I had my fist view of American life through Pana’s sweet and loving family. I remember their kitchen, and Pana’s wife, Helen, baking for us. I think it was cookies; I was amazed, for you see my grandma is no cook! My first enforced bedtime was at Pana’s, so was my first Easter egg hunt. I may not have liked the bedtime thing at the time, but now that I have a family, we have a bedtime for the little one. We sit down as a family for dinner, and yes we have an Easter egg hunt every year. I have even been known to bake a thing or two. All things I learned at Pana’s.

Thanks Pana and Helen for all the wonderful memories.

Submit your Blog to Free Directories

Today I have been submitting my blog to different directories. This is something I should have taken care of a long time ago. There is so much to do if you want to get your blog out there that it is very time consuming, I am trying but I just can’t seem to keep up! Always finding new things to add and new sites to sign up for, it seems never-ending! My honey does not appreciate me being on the laptop constantly, either.

I found a site that has a list of “Top Free Blog Directories” to sign up for that makes it easier. It is so much simpler to just go down a list of directories then to have the information displayed in different pages. Remember to right click on the link and choose ‘open in new tab’ to make things even simpler. This list is very comprehensive. Not all links seem to work, though. Maybe it is just my slow connection.

The free directories I have signed up for so far can be found at the bottom of the left hand navigation bar on this page and at the end of this post.

Blogging is an awesome way to make money online, but it takes quite the effort. You must get your blog known; you need people to visit your blog! There are many resources out there that will help you reach your goal, this is just one.

I will be posting more on this topic soon, so check out these pages often!

Happy trails!

WAHB Gets a New Look!

Today has been the day that I finally got around to giving WAHB a different look. This had been a debate in my head for some time now. While I liked the previous color scheme very much I found that it was just not very popular in the blogosphere and there must be a reason for that! I find this new style easier to read and more professional. As my experience on the net has grown I realized it was time to update WAHB. I was a little scared, but finally made the leap!

I hope you all like the new look and find it simpler to navigate. Leave me some feedback!

Happy trails!

Claritin RediTabs Buzz

You thought non-drowsy allergy relief was impossible? Not with Claritin RediTabs!

I suffer from allergies, and I also pass out when I take allergy meds. So what was I to do? Stay in the house so my allergies will not act up or take the med and stay in the house because I am so drowsy I can’t do anything? It was a no win situation for me. Then I received my latest BzzAgent campaign for Claritin RediTabs.

My allergies are pretty bad. Plus, I’m allergic to bug bites which is not such a common thing. In addition of course to dust, weeds, pollen, grass, mold and more. The facts state that Claritin RediTabs work for 24hrs, are prescription strength and dissolve instantly in your mouth. I was doubtful. Nothing on the package said bug bites and I hate taking pills, no water sounds disgusting to me.

Well surprise! They really do work! Claritin RediTabs dissolve as soon as they go in your mouth. It is so awesome not to have to reach for a glass of water! They can be taken anywhere, it is so convenient. My allergy symptoms where gone within a half hour and the effect lasted well into the next day. Best of all, I was not lethargic! I could continue with my activities and even drive with no drowsiness whatsoever. I stopped using my other very popular allergy med at once and have not looked back.

As a BzzAgent I get to try out new websites and products and provide honest reviews about them. Buzzing is about word of mouth, sharing honest and informed opinions. Claritin RediTabs is one of the latest campaigns. I am not paid for my opinions so I can be honest and tell the good and the bad, I am not a salesperson! I receive some free samples, coupons, and some points that’s it. To see more of my BzzAgent reviews or become a BzzAgent yourself follow the link below. It is fun and informative!

Housetraining with Puppy Pads

Day 8 of having Emma at home and housetraining is not perfect. Yes, I spoke too soon in my previous post.
We got puppy pads for her, they were recommended to us by another dog owner. Supposedly they include a scent on them that makes them want to go on the puppy pad. I have had them down since the second day of having her at home. I can say we have not been successful with them. Emma went once on them, I have lost track of the times she has gone next to them. She also chewed one up, which I am sure is not good for her if swallowed.
We have a schedule for her eating, drinking, going out for exercise and going out to eliminate. I think that is the best way. She does real good with the schedule and is really getting used to it. But, if we mess up and don’t take her out on time, then we find ourselves with an accident. We wanted the puppy pads to be a back up; they are not effective for us. Other people seem to have great results.
Our vet recommends the crate as I have mentioned in the post “Crate Training Buzz”. He really is right; you can’t keep a constant eye on the pup. If you are busy, the pup should be in her crate. Then you can take her out and head straight for the outdoors!

I found a site with some good tips on housebreaking. Click here

Crate Training Buzz

Ok, so at first we thought keeping the puppy confined in a small cage was cruel. We wouldn’t want to be confined to a small area. We call that jail, correct?

With puppies it is different I found out. My vet was giving us the “Hey, you got a new puppy!” talk when he mentioned, “I bet she goes under the coffee table...” I was like yeah she loves it down there. Well, he said that is because they actually like small places. They feel safe in small places with their backs to the wall; they can look forward and see what’s coming without worry of what is behind them. It is also the safest place for them to be when you are not around to check on them. Chewing on the wrong thing is not only going to upset you because your property has been destroyed but it might end up costing you a lot of money! If they swallow the wrong bit of things, surgery may be required to dislodge this from their intestines. Not any fun for you or your puppy. This advice totally changed my view on crates. It is not about me and my guilt; it is about her comfort and her safety.

One of the prime reasons crates are most recommended is for housetraining. Puppies don’t poop where they sleep. She shouldn’t be in there for a prolonged period of time and be careful what you put her in there with. We put in a few of her favorite ‘safe’ toys and that is it. No food. If she eats freely you will not have any control of her elimination schedule, which can lead to accidents. She comes out of the crate and she is taken immediately outdoors to eliminate. Really important is that you do not use the crate for punishment. The crate should be her safe place, kind of like the den feeling. Place the crate somewhere close to the family. Isolation is not what you want to reinforce. Do not let the puppy out if she whines or barks. Have her calm down before opening the door and reward her with a treat when she does.

It is not cruel, it is highly recommended by vets and many other sources, I would recommend one extra precaution and that is to place stickers on your doors and some windows that say something like “please rescue my pets”. They usually have a place for you to specify what kind and how many pets you have. They can be found at many pet stores. I have used them for years, even when it was just my cat running around free in the house. Running around or in a crate the danger is the same. Unfortunately, I confirmed this when the house across the street burned down a few months ago. Attempts were made to rescue the dog, but it was not possible. Very sad indeed.

We keep the door open for her all the time and she goes in and out all day. After she got used to the crate we started to actually close the door for about only 15mins a day once a day. Next week I will start her on twice a day for 15mins and gently up the time. If I have to run an errand I know the puppy is safe and happy.

Seek advice from your vet for your particular situation. There is a lot of work to training a new puppy. It is well worth it! A well behaved dog is a happy dog!

Emma the Puppy is Home!

We have a puppy! Her name is Emma. She is 12 weeks old. We adopted her on June 1^st. It was a lot quicker than the usual week or two! This was thanks to the great people at the rescue, Furry Angels. Michaela processed our application late Saturday night so we could make it to their adoption event on Sunday. It was a really long drive, 31/2 hrs, but was well worth it. Emma is a great puppy! Well behaved and smart. House trained in two days! She is a Newfoundland mix, some Lab and Golden Retriever the vet said. She is black in color and is going to be BIG! Did you know that large black dogs are usually the last to be adopted? We feel really good about getting Emma.

We found her on PetFinder.com; where we were directed to the Furry Angels Rescue’s web page, filled out the application and received a response from them right away. Emma is healthy and we love her tons already!

More puppy updates to come! And better pictures, she is not very camera-friendly!
