But as I have scanned through the pages and through her archives, the information you can find here is not limited to home and parenting but also practical ways to cope up with life.It tackles a wide range of topics for mature audience. She simplifies everything that you are worried about, say a family vacation, adding romance to marriage, losing weight, and more.

"My personal high's and low's syndicated online to supplement or the-lack-off a professional listener i.e. a shrink... Keeping my sanity in tact at a fraction of the doctors fee." - MikeToday, I'll be dealing with a web developer. This is not my field of specialization so I have to admit, I can't relate to some of the jargon.
Moving forward, Mike's Journal is too technical for me though I have basic err intermediate knowledge about computers. If you want to know more about techie stuff, visit his blog and check out his portfolio. For me he may sound a geek, but his motto in life get a chuckle out of me. Nice!
Maybe I should ask Fedhz to know more about him. All I know is that he does freelance work for local clients and writes for advertisers on his blog. Speaking of the blog/journal, it has a very professional theme and in just one look... you may get an idea of what kind of guy is behind all these.
P.S.
Since I am an anime-fanatic, his anime list scored A++ from me! Whoa! I'm loving this JAP haven!
