Do you go thrifting?

There’s nothing like a good thrift store find to make you feel like the world’s best shopper.

Views: 100

So My wife and I went thrifting yesterday. Not the first time, won’t be the last. Some may ask, what’s thrifting? Simply put, thrifting means to go shopping at a thrift store, garage sale, or flea market where you’ll find gently used items at discounted prices. Thrifted items have been loved by a previous owner, but are usually in good shape with enough life left to be useful to a new owner.

Thrift shopping is not only a fun way to find unique finds, but it’s also a way to give back to the community. By shopping at or donating to Thrift stores you’re helping them provide no-cost career services to the community. Essentially, a clothing or household donation to Thrifts helps fight unemployment in our community. It’s nice to know that when you’re shopping, you’re also providing jobs.

We mostly go for items that are used in seasonal decorations. Some make it on our front or back porch. What can be found at a thrift store?

Thought I saw it all. Take your sick dog to the store.

Dog clean up-Tenor

Views: 122

I was out and about yesterday. What happened  topped it all. This lady was taking her dog to the store so it wouldn’t have an accident at home. Let me explain. This lady was literally dragging her dog across the parking lot. I told her that the store had a policy against animals except for seeing eye dogs. She told me they know her there.

I said that the dog didn’t look as if it wanted to go in. She said that the dog was sick and she was afraid of it having an accident at home. I repeat, afraid of it having an accident at home. I COULD HEAR IT NOW. CLEAN UP ON AISLE 3.

Let’s hear it for the Latinos.

Let’s hear it for the Latinos.

While there are tons of fantastic Latin American artists, some acts are just better than others. This list is designed to let the fans of Latin American music separate the absolute best Latino bands and artists from all of the rest. Latin American music includes all singer and performers who are from Latin American countries. Often singing in Spanish and drawing from the many genres associated with South and Central America, there is a huge diversity of styles in Latin American music. Selena and Shakira are classic examples of the Latin singers, but are they the top Latin American music artists of all time? 

This list of the top Latin American bands in the world includes all Hispanic and Latino musicians who have released recordings that have gotten distribution, and is an up-to-date list. These are truly the greatest Latin American bands of all time, since the most famous Latin American music artists ever are listed, and the order is decided by actual fans of the best Latin American music.

 

Famous Hispanic singers like Ricky Martin and Jennifer Lopez are included on this list. Upvote the best artists to see them rise closer to the top of the list. The best artists on this list are the ones with the most votes, so show musicians like Nelly Furtado and Enrique Iglesias some love. All important, significant and iconic names in Latin American music music history deserve your votes, so make sure to choose wisely. You can only vote once on this list.

The list includes all new Latin American music groups, and if there are any missing on the list, you can always add them yourself. These are the best examples of Latin American music, as well as a good place to start if you want to listen to more Hispanic singers. The Latino and Latina singers who are at the top of the list will be the best choices if you’re looking to listen to good Latin American music. No point in listening to them if they aren’t actually good or even half-way decent Latin American music bands.

This list answers the questions “who are the best Latin American bands of all time?” and “who is the greatest Latin American singer ever?” It can even provide a good answer for the question “Who are famous Spanish singers?”

Ingredients

  

  • 2 large, ripe peaches
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ cup salted caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the grill.  Lightly brush your grill grates with olive oil and preheat your grill to about 400°F.

Cut your peaches in half and remove the pits, brush the cut side of the peach with oil and grill for 5 minutes. It’s really that easy!
