I’d like to get a set of bunk beds

I’d like to get a set of bunk beds for the guest room; the kind that has a full sized bed AND a twin bed.  I’ve been shopping around on the Internet and found a site, www.bunk-beds-loft-beds.com that has a really good selection of bunk beds. 

Their site is well designed, and easy to navigate around.  According to the E-Bay testimonials (I understand that E-Bay testimonials can’t be faked) that I’ve read, they are a good company to do business with, provide superior customer service, and that the bunk beds are easy to assemble.   Their website gives you a lot of information about the product (including the dimensions) that you are thinking about buying, so you can make an intelligent choice about the purchase.   The prices are reasonable, and they provide free shipping on their bunk bed packages!

Pope’s visit to the USA

Filed under: General Living — Copa @ 6:29 am

As we all knew would happen, there has been a lot of news coverage of the Pope visiting the United States.  The other day one of the news stories was giving some details about his background, and I was surprised to learn that the Pope speaks twenty different languages!  I imagine that was mentioned when he first became the Pope, but I had not remembered it.

My wife and I were talking about how the Pope is appointed to his position for life, and we have to wonder what happens if and when a man (who is appointed Pope) becomes senile, suffers from dementia, or is struck with Alzheimers.  Is he removed from office?  Chances are he won’t retire voluntarily!
