Hotels with a twist

I found some stories on the BBC’s website that was talking about some hotels with a twist.  There was one story about one hotel room that has a lot of items in it that are made of chocolate!  I can’t imagine why anyone would do something like that!  Chocolate doesn’t stay “fresh” very long, and it melts!  And what about the kids that would actually try to eat some of the chocolate fixtures?  It wouldn’t taste very good after a while, but kids would still try it, wouldn’t they?  And that would ruin the looks of the room.  So when that happens, what would the hotel do to try to repair the damage?  Very weird!

Financial advice

My niece is in severe financial trouble.  Her mother is encouraging her to file for bankruptcy. I told them that there is a website that deals with the US Bankruptcy Records that has helpful articles about the different types of bankruptcy.  I told them to be sure to open it using the Firefox browser and not the IE browser because there is some incompatibility issues between their site and IE.

A great day to stay home

My wife got “the phone call” this morning at about 4:45 am that her office is closed for the day because of the icy road conditions.  Although we really could use the money by her going to work, I was glad that work was cancelled.  Our driveway is way too slippery to even think about trying to get out of the house this morning!  My back is bothering me too much to take care of it, and we know it will just melt off in a short while so we haven’t bothered to try to do anything about it yet.  I’m perfectly happy to just hunker down and stay put today!  I feel sorry for the folks that have to drive to work today!
