The Mission

This is a Personal website designed to help you find your way around the Internet. And to share with you, here, things that I have already found online after long searches and networking.  In the process I have created many personal profiles and blogs from which I have posted content over the last year and a half. This site will  attempt to not only link you to the good places online, but to recreate some of the content that is scattered about the Internet into one place.  Hopefully, that will answer many questions without requiring you to join networks just to access my posts which are sometimes made for "friends only".  If you are a visitor you are welcomed as a friend.   However, I will only respond to inquiries at this time through the network communities.  In the future I will designate a place for exchange in a forum setting.  Current focus is developing the site content and structure on a personal website, before, attempting to develop a business site.  And, I do need time to paint and draw and dance, and edit all the stuff I write ... so, contact will be kept to a minimum at the present time. 

About  Shopping:

You can't buy anything here.  All links to purchases are referrals only, and any purchases are made on the secured network servers of the companies distributing those goods. Time has been taken to hand pick services, sites or products.  (At the point that I have products of my own available on line, you will be given the links to the appropriate sites in the future) The services and or products on this site, are those which I have a personal interest in and hopefully the time I have taken to find these services will be helpful to some of you also.  Online shopping has been a convenience for me in adjustments to a post disaster recovery. So the future will hold links to a wide variety of sources, since, I need to search in a wide variety of places  to recreate a lifestyle which is both functional and practical. Of course, a small site must grow before approval is made to  link to many sites.  So, as the site grows  and visitors numbers increase so will the number of linked featured pages.

About Gadgets and Games

Some of the "gadgets on the pages are Provided free with the ads which support those gadgets.  This site is allowed to use the gadgets with the sponsored ads in place.  Time is taken to screen the gadgets before placing them on the site, including online games. I have put links on the site for games that I have checked out thoroughly.  As online games are being secured from many different sources, It is impossible to check out the character of the people who make the online games available.  If you play a game here and experience weird behavior while playing a game, return to the home page and close the other windows.  Likewise if you follow links found in an online game,  navigate away - if there is anything about the site that makes you uncomfortable.  The purpose here is to help you better enjoy the Internet.  Games and other gadgets will be added for enjoyment.  It is with the hope that you have a pleasant online experience while visiting this site, the first time and every time you visit.
