It’s not that i’m a snob f’sure but not every person has been brung up as well as whot I wuz. Lets face it, not many knows the difference between a preposition and a proposition. Ending a sentence badly is certainly something I don’t put up with.

I have notice that, when mingling in amongst my public (I often doff disguise in my work as Pcorn Queen Investigates,) that it isn’t just in verbal where standards slip but in written word its just about impossible to read a well writ peace now a days! Grammer and spellin has just gone out the window with the baby and her bath water. As a seasoned writer of some (not small reputation) I must confess that i do do the spell check thang, which gerenrally does a grand job and corrects the small incident slip-ups that are mainly caused by me; in my short-sighted (not ignorance) running away too quickly with the qwerty pad and forgetting the small things like a missing commer or ending a sentence before starting another thought with a full stop.

Psst… For those of you who feel a tad embarrassed, I have a little gem:- grammarcheck If you aint as well brunged up as the rest of us you can peek on the QT and brush up on all sorts. Even I found room for some refinement. There’s a complete section dedicated to Ex verbs; any verb that starts with Ex like…. ummm…

Divorced! Yup they forgotton that one!

Getting to grips with tenses was greatly enlightening, I’ve been had trouble for years.. (I blame the children, they often get me all tensed with all their racket an all.) Anyway, I is rambling and in danger of digresification which will not do my reputation as a reporter any good in the foreseeable past.

I must dash as I’ve a lot to do in my other role as speach writer to a major celeb A-lister…

Now where is that spelt check button??

Black Mold Removal

pcornqueen — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 21:28:06 +0000

It’s winter and we all like to keep as warm as possible. Invariably this means we keep the windows tightly shut, to preserve heat and exclude draughts. Sensible yes, but this can cause or increase other problems due to poor ventilation. When humidity rises and ventilation is poor the conditions are ideal for fungal and mold growth. This is not only damaging to your property but can also be the cause of health problems to the occupants. Black mold growth and it’s associated musty smell needs remedial action. Although usually found in kitchens, basements, bathrooms and showers (which you would think are potential damp areas) they can also occur in bedrooms and all living areas. Breathing in the spores from these molds is very dangerous and their presence should neither be ignored or tolerated.

Specialist firms can be called in but the problem can be tackled by the occupier. You do need to know what you are doing and how to remove black mold safely but remember you also need to prevent its return in the future.

There’s No Place Like Foam.

I know regular readers who follow PCorn Queen Investigates will be accustomed to an action packed report from an all American Gal living in the fast lane but occasionally a cushy number comes in; like today’s which is thinking about beds. So hang on while I get myself comfortable, and once I’ve found a safe zone amongst all the ~~knackered~~ tired springs, I’ll deliver my verdict.

Good mattresses cost good money, but we all loose money through poor sleep and back troubles; Right? Perhaps not. Apparently Foam is where the heart is…

What you should know about the memory foam mattress:

Follow the link and you’ll get all the information you could want… But it’s a bit like shampoo; full of major science and scientific sounding words to convince you to take it very seriously. We’ve got NASA development in there and ILD … Yikes ~ Indentation Load Deflection (sounds like what broke the springs in my resting support) and there’s visco-elastic “polyurenauts” on something. Don’t get me wrong you need to read (there may be questions later!) but why not just cut to the chase?

Reasons to buy a memory foam mattress:

It’ll save you money (always good to know.) The spend taken over the life expectancy of the mattress makes good sense.
They reckon people with bad backs actually benefit over a regular sprung mattress. Yup science… it’s Orthopaedic and supports your body.
Memory Foam Mattresses are durable and you can get a guarantee of 10-20 years.
NASA development helps if you’ve got a rocket man in your life…
Ohh and they don’t squeak and upset the neighbours!

How Many Calories in a Banana?

pcornqueen — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:44:46 +0000

How many calories in a banana?
It’s something I’m desparate to know
You see I’m trying to eat more healthy
So I’ve just eaten ten in a row.

They say that banana’s are a good food
And are the world’s fourth largest fruit crop
I’m now on with number eleven
I guess when I’ve had twelve I should stop.

Mmm… I can tates all the fruit sugars and fibre
Potassium and Magnesium too
And being ready wrapped they are handy
Unless the skin’s under your shoe.

If you are needing a diet to slim you
Get bananas the next time you shop
But if you don’t know the calories contained
I suggest that when you’ve had 12 you should stop.

Be Gad my face has turned just yellow
And bent legs is what I’ve now got
But How many calories in a banana?
If I still knew, it is now I would tell you
But it’s one of those things that I forgot!

A Fool And His Money Are Soon Parted.

“Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons!” ~ Woody Allen.

Yes it’s true. I like to shop. There’s nothing like retail therapy to put a smile on my face. To me, being able to shop at home is like… mmmMmmm? Being able to have toast with butter, maple syrup and bacon on both sides. Now if I can shop AND get a bargain; then I’m as happy as a turkey in the woods the day after Thanksgiving. On the high street I haggle. There’s usually a salesperson that will put up a good fight but I’ve got all the tricks. The coy smile to the young man just in his first job. The “But I’ve got 14 kids at home and my fella is serving overseas” routine and even the tearful “I’d set my heart on it and missed breakfast for a fortnight just to manage the purchase!” I’m usually successful but Hey, if they won’t play… I move on.

On line it’s different. There’s nobody to flirt with, bully or wear down. But wait! Before you press “Buy Now” think twice. There are still deals out there, particularly from the major retailers.

PCorn Queen Investigates brings you today Barnes and Noble Coupons. You can save yourself up to 70% on your purchases and for only a few minutes of your time. You don’t need the acting skills that you do on the high street or have the guilt feelings afterwards. Also we’re not just talking hard copy books here. There’s also gift items, activity kits, e-books and e-zines available. The money you save on your coupons extends the therapy that’s available to you.
