Luck is sometimes described as being in the right place at the right time.  It has never been truer than at this moment in time.  An unexpected relocation has brought a wonderful home in Bellmore to the market that was never meant to be sold.  It was recently redone to the very high standards of ...

It's no secret, I'm resistant to change.  I hate it.  I rail against it, always have.  I should know better.  The one constant in an ever changing world is, this too shall pass.  Nothing remains the same.  It matters little, however, as I sit here lamenting the imminent death of Picnik.com.  One ...

I know Apple product users are cult like in their devotion, but I've been a reluctant convert, preferring my almost iPhone, in the form of an android.  For the past few days, my old Blackjack (my second cell phone) had been giving me more problems than usual.  I had always had an issue of message...
