Hotels in the UK

When I was much younger, I took a trip around Europe. We traveled on a tour bus, and we ate there, slept there, and everything. It was quite an adventure, and it made the trip very doable for me. While staying at a hotel in every stop might have been nice, the thing is that hotels are quite expensive all over Europe.

Fortunately for travelers to Europe, you can find lots of great deals on hotels at Cheaper Than Hotels. By shopping around there, you will find really good prices on the hotel of your choice. That's an even better way to travel than by always staying on the bus.

Say, for instance, you are going to the UK. Whether you are looking for a London Hotel, a Manchester Hotel. a Birmingham Hotel, or a hotel in any other part of the UK, then stop in at Cheaper Than Hotels to have a look. They have great deals on hotels everywhere, and even have special offers for last minute bookings. Year round bookings, of course, come with great price tags.

Sowing Seeds

A friend of mine keeps a nice blog called sowing seeds. She's a mother of two, a teenager and a soon-to-be teenager. At this blog, she focuses on metaphors related to growing plants, relating that to "growing kids."

It is a blog that will make you think. Stop in and take a look if you get the chance. I am sure she will enjoy the visit.

From Aesops's Fables : Brother & Sister

A man had two children, a boy and a girl. The boy was good-looking as the girl was plain. One day as they were playing together in their's mother's room, they came across a mirror. They saw their faces in the mirror for the first time. They boy saw what a handsome face he had and began to boast to his sister about his good looks. She was ready to cry when she saw her own plain face in the mirror. She took her brother's remarks as an insult to her. She ran to her father and told on his brother. She accused her brother for meddling with their mother's things. Their father laughed and kissed them both and said 'My children, learn from now onwards to make a good use of the glass. You, my boy strive to be as good as it shows you to be handsome, and you, my my girl make up your plainness of your features by the sweetness of your character.

From Aesops's Fables : The Dog & The Shadow

A dog was crossing a plank bridge over a stream with a piece of meat in his mouth, when he happened to see his own reflection in the water, He thought it was another dog with a piece of meat twice as big, so he let go his own meat, and he jumped at the other dog to get the bigger piece of meat. But of course he did not get any of the meat, for one was only a shadow and the other meat was carried away by the current.

Have you met Silken?

Silken is a friend of mine who blogs at blogspot. Maybe you'd like to stop by and visit her, and see what you think of her blogs. I enjoy them, myself. Some of them are kept by her kids, which I think is quite nice.

Here's the spots where you can find her at blogspot:

A Few of My Favorite Things

Places to Go

Family Night

Random Activities

Did You Know

Rhyme Time

kidbits


If you stop by to meet her, tell her that her friend in Singapore sent you. I think she will know who. (No telling though, as she has lots of friends here.)

Car Insurance

Did you know that car insurance is required by most states in the US, just like it is here in Singapore?

I don't drive, myself, but I always see my friend running about getting matters settled when it is time to settle her insurance when the time rolls around. It makes me glad I don't have to deal with it. I love taking public transportation lah!

I don't think public transportation is a real option for many Americans though. When I was there, I felt sort of stifled because I don't drive, and I had to rely on others to get me from place to place. I wonder if getting insurance settled is as big a hassle as it is for my friend?

Well, I know it doesn't have to be. In the US, it isn't hard to get your car insured online. A person could get their Connecticut Auto Insurance all settled online, and hassle free.

Nice, isn't it?

Hazel

Pearly and her sister Sandy were not dog lovers. They were very much afraid of dogs. They were afraid to go near dogs. One day a friend of theirs who was a dog lover came out with an idea. The idea was to go to different pet shops and farms to look at dogs. Pearly and Sandy thought for a second and thought it would be fun to do this. They stopped by different pet shops and farms to look at dogs but they did not bring any home. This was in the mind of Pearly's since then. She kept thinking whether she should get a puppy. So one day they stopped by a pet shop to look at puppies. She thought of getting a puppy for herself. She scanned through the pent but could not find the right one. The shop keeper came over and asked her what breed was she looking for. The shop keeper took her to the back of the shop and showed a Pomeranian puppy. She needed to be fed by hand at this moment. The puppy had fur liked a little grey ball. Pearly fell in love with the puppy and brought her home.

Pearly's mom already told her that if she bring the puppy back, she was not going to help take care of the puppy. Her mom did not like having pets in the house. But Pearly loved the puppy and brought her back. She named the puppy Hazel. Since her mom was not going to help take care of Hazel, when Pearly needed to go to work, she would bring Hazel to Sandy her sister's house for her to dog sit. At the same time Sandy also bought a puppy. Both puppies could play together.

As days passed Hazel grew to an adult dog. But she was still little as pomeranian remained small although it grew to be an adult dog. Slowly her mom began to accept Hazel in the house. She was adorable and fun to play with. Hazel would keep Pearly's mom company when there were no one in the house. She began to like Hazel and take care of her. Hazel loved her too. She would follow her everywhere.

Pearly and Sandy after keeping dogs helped them to love them and not afraid of dogs anymore.

From The Aesop's Fables : The Fox Without A Tail

A fox fell into a trap once and he managed to struggle out and get free, but he lost his tail. He was then much ashamed of his appearance that he thought life was not worth living unless he could pursade the other foxes to part with their tails also. So he stopped thinking about his own loss for a while and called a meeting of all the foxes and advised them to cut off their tails: 'they are ugly things anyhow,' he said, 'besides they are heavy, and it's tiresome to be always carrying them about with you.' But one of the other fox said, 'My friend if you hadn't lost your own tail, you wouldn't be so keen on getting us to cut off ours.'

From The Aesop's Fables : The Two Bags

Every man carries along two bags with him, one in front and one behind, and both are packed full of faults. The one in front contains his neighbours' faults, the one behind his own. Therefore it is that men do not see their own faults, but never fail to see those of others.

From The Aesop's Fables : The Swollen Fox

A hungry fox found large amount of bread and meat in a hollow tree, which some shepherds had placed there till they returned. The fox was so happy that he slipped in through the narrow opening and greedily devoured everything. But when he tried to get out again he found himself so swollen after his big meal that he could not squeeze through the hole, and he started whining and groaning over his misfortune. Another fox, happening to pass that way, came and asked him what the matter was; and on learning what actually happened, said. 'Well my friend, you are all right and you just have to stay where you are till you shrink to your former size, you'll get out then easily enough.'

So he thought of something to make them realized what they were doing was wrong. He asked them to fetch a bundle of sticks, he invited each son to break the sticks acroos his knee. All tried and all failed: and then he undid the bundle and handed them the sticks one by one. They had no difficulty at all in breaking them.

From The Aesop's Fables : The Bear & the Travellers

Two friends were travelling on the road together, when a bear suddenly appeared to them. Before the bear can do anything one ran to a tree and climbed up into the branches and hid there. The other was not as quick as his friend and as he could not escape, he layed down on the ground and pretended to be dead. The bear came up and sniffed all round him, but he kept very still and held his breath; for they say that a bear will not touch a dead body. It was true that the bear took him for a dead body, and went away. When the bear was gone, the other friend in the tree came down and asked the other what it was the bear had whispered to him when he put his mouth to his ear. The other replied He told me never again to travel with a friend who abandons you at the first sign of danger.
