Healing After Pet Loss: Navigating Your Grief

By
Losing a pet is a uniquely painful experience. For many of us without children, our pets aren't just animals; they're our family. They're our confidants, our daily companions, and a source of unconditional love. So when they're gone, the silence they leave behind is deafening. I recently lost my guinea pig, Cinnamon, after almost five years together. The worst part was that I had to sit there and watch her die, completely helpless. There wasn't a single vet in a 100-mile radius who would see her. The feeling of watching a beloved friend suffer and not being able to do a single thing about it is something that will stick with me for a long time. R.I.P. Cinnamon! ðŸ’” This kind of loss brings a complicated type of grief. It's not just sadness; it's layered with guilt, anger, and a profound sense of failure, even when there was nothing you could have done. The world keeps moving, but your little world has stopped. People, often with good intentions, might say t...

BenQ Genie e-Reading LED Desk Lamp: Boost Workspace, Save Eyes

Note: This was resurrected from Tumblr thanks to Google cache and was originally posted on September 11, 2017.

BenQ Silver Genie LED Desk Eye-Caring Table Lamp
After trying out (and still using) the BenQ e-Reading LED Desk Lamp and testing some accessories to go with it, I’m now back with the BenQ Genie e-Reading LED Desk Lamp. Basically, the Genie is a smaller, lightweight version of the original e-Reading LED Desk Lamp that does all of the same things for a lower price tag. At the time of writing this, however, there also aren’t any accessories to go with the Genie.

After using this desk lamp daily for the past month or so, I can honestly say that it’s just as great and effective as the original. The light is perfect for daily computer use and it doesn’t cast any harmful glares. The style is a little different, though and it doesn’t have as much range since there is only a ‘leg’ and no ‘arm’ like on the original version (see image below of original). The lighting can be adjusted in the same manner and has an awesome, intelligent e-Reading mode that has never disappointed me.

My duty to you: This company was nice enough to send me this product to evaluate and review for free. Don’t worry, I always keep it real - no sugar-coating - no matter how good or bad the product! There may also be an affiliate and/or referral link in this post. Thanks for stopping by!

The e-Reading mode uses a built-in sensor to detect ambient lighting and deliver perfect flicker-free illumination for working in front of digital screens (ie. computers, laptops, and mobile devices). All you do is tap and hold your finger on the metal ring to enable it; everything is done automagically from there!

You can also use the dial to manually adjust the warmth, coolness, and brightness of the lamp. Unlike many other desk lamps, you don’t just get a few settings that you can switch between or a small range of options. This lamp gives you full control over the tone and intensity of the light.

The Genie e-Reading LED Desk Lamp is perfect for setting the mood and best of all, doesn’t damage your eyes thanks to its advanced lighting technology. The LED panels have a lifespan of approximately 50k hours (that’s 8 hours a day for 17 years).

This desk lamp is also perfect for burning the midnight oil (for us night owls) since the e-Reading Mode adjusts accordingly. You can have the room light off and just use this and still be extremely comfortable. I use mine for my desktop computer but it would also be great on a nightstand if you like to read or browse the Web in bed.

If you are looking for a great quality desk lamp that is gentle on the eyes, smart with its features, and has a stylish, modern look then I can’t recommend this one or the original (if you have a little extra to splurge) enough!!

The Stray Cat Who Chose Me: My Kitten Rescue Story

By
Image
It all started with a stray cat, a beautiful black and gold tortoiseshell. I began feeding her back in April, just leaving some food out for her. By mid-May, she was a regular visitor, and I noticed she was pregnant. My heart just went out to this expectant mother. I made it my mission to keep her well-fed, which, let me tell you, was a task. Her appetite was huge, and she was eating three to four times a day. She practically lived in our yard, a silent agreement that this was her safe space. She'd be there to greet me in the morning and would come and go throughout the day. My indoor cat, Adah, eventually got used to her presence, a big step considering her initial reaction was to lunge at the window. The stray, whom I affectionately started thinking of as “Mama Cat” (I even called her “mama”), seemed to settle in, making our yard her home. As June progressed, she started staying even after sunset, a sign of her growing trust. The dynamic was peaceful, and I was happy to provide ...

The Story of God and Us Review: A Must-Read

By
Image
I love reading the Bible, but I can admit that sometimes I get lost in the details. It's easy to see the individual books as separate stories instead of one continuous narrative. I've often wanted a guide that connects all the dots, and that's exactly what I found in The Story of God and Us by Jonathan Murphy. The first thing I noticed was the eye-catching cover, but what I found inside was even better. This book presents God's grand narrative in a way that is clear, engaging, and deeply personal, showing how we are all an important part of it. Who is Jonathan Murphy? The Author Behind the Story Before diving into the book, it helps to know the author. The Jonathan Murphy author credit belongs to the senior pastor of Stonebriar Community Church and a professor at the respected Dallas Theological Seminary . This isn't just someone with a theory; he dedicates his life to teaching the Bible. His experience as a pastor comes through in his writing. He’s not just ...

50 Exciting Mods to Enhance Your Sims 3 Experience

By

Remember the good old days of The Sims 3? That game was a total game-changer when it hit the scene back in 2009 — and it's still one of my favorite games of all time! It took everything we loved about The Sims 2 and cranked it up to eleven. Let's take a quick trip down memory lane and see why The Sims 3 still holds a special place in our hearts, even with The Sims 4 out there. The Sims 3: Why It's Still Awesome Picture this: You're controlling your Sim at home, and suddenly you decide you want to visit the park across town. In The Sims 2, you'd have to sit through a long loading screen. But in The Sims 3? Bam! You just walk or ride right over. No waiting, no fuss. That open-world concept was mind-blowing at the time, and honestly, it's still pretty cool today ( yes, I still play occassionally ). The Sims 3 also lets us get super creative with our Sims' looks. Remember spending hours tweaking every little detail of your Sim's face? And don't even get...

200+ Must-Have Mods for The Sims 2 (Ultimate List)

By

The Sims 2, while a classic, can feel a bit dated compared to newer games. However, with the right mods and custom content (CC), you can breathe new life into your game and make it even more enjoyable. I've compiled a list of must-have mods and a few CC items, many of which I personally use and love. They add so much variety and personality, and many even fix pesky bugs. So, let's get modding! © A Little Bit Of Me Important Notes:  Some of the graphics and UI enhancement mods are not needed for the 2025 Sims 2 Legacy Collection since this version  is already optimized for modern hardware as detailed here . Clean UI and Starship UI (mentioned below)  already include multiple UI improvements ( e.g., custom loading screens, widescreen CAS, and improved family tree ), so you won't need to install additional mods for those things. The TS2 Starter Pack ( a completely free version of The Sims 2 available on Github )  already comes with numerous graphics and UI optim...
