Collecting postcards can be a very interesting hobby because postcards come in a variety of different types and categories depending on your area of interest.  Some postcard collectors only collect postcards from the various places they’ve visited in the past, and those cards would fall under the major category of “Those with a View”. 

For collectors, postcards fall into three major categories: those with a view, topics, and foreign.  If you’re interested in more info on what these categories entail you should visit the following website http://www.collectstampsandpostcards.com/blog/2010/01/19/postcards-from-the-golden-age-to-present.html.  This particular website has a wide array of fascinating articles on postcard collecting as well as on stamp collecting.  Why not take a look for yourself?

ToonTown is a virtual reality game that is set in a cartoon like setting; even defeating the cogs in ToonTown is done with cartoonish type gags like cream pies, dropping anvils or pianos, or squirting flowers.  As you level up your toon and earn more exp. from fighting the cogs the better your gags get.  Each time you earn a new gag it takes a bit more fighting experience to get to that next gag.  You will start out with two different gag tracks: throw gag track and squirt gag track.  Then when you’re ready for some new gags you have the option of getting new gags by starting “Gag Track Training”.  The way you do this is by accepting this as one of your ToonTask.

But gaining new gags is not the only reward you can receive from doing ToonTasks.  The other things you can earn are more LaffBoosts, Teleport Access, a larger gag pouch, a large jelly bean jar, the ability to carry more ToonTasks, just earning more jelly beans, changing your look, or clothing item tickets.  Each of the rewards has different advantages, it just depends on what you’re trying to accomplish.  For example, if you want to be able to last longer in a fight you’ll want to work on earning more LaffBoosts and a larger gag pouch because laff points are your life line and gags are what you use to fight the cogs with.  Teleport Access is also a good one to have because it allows you to get around ToonTown various neighborhoods a lot faster!!  You just might want to check it out; you can start off with a free trial account.

Disney’s ToonTown is a wonderful family oriented online gaming site.  It’s geared towards the younger crowd, but it can be enjoyed by everyone.  Especially those of us that are kids at heart, I just love playing ToonTown with my daughter.  ToonTown is a virtual reality game in which you get to make your very own cartoon character that you will use to defeat the cogs.  There are several different types of characters to choose from: a bear, a cat, a dog, a duck, a horse, monkey, a mouse, pig, and a rabbit.  They come in all shapes, sizes, and color.  Choosing just the right character is the part that’s left up to you.

You can choose to play this game for free or pay a monthly fee to play.  If you choose to play for free you only get to make two characters, and you have limited access as to what your character can do and which areas you can go into.  But once you choose to upgrade to a paid account you get to make six different characters, and you'll have access to a larger playing area.  We have found that it's well worth the investment.

Until Next Time:  Happy Gaming!!

Do you know someone suffering from cancer that could use a little good news?  Well, thanks to the cancer research being done these days cancer no longer has to be a death sentence.  There are a number of different treatments out there for cancer; it all depends on the type of cancer you have and the timing when the cancer is discovered. 

For those of you looking for a ray of hope where cancer is concerned and are interested in hearing a few true stories concerning patients that have been healed from cancer you’ll want to check out the following website http://www.nostoppingmiracles.com/2009/08/23/people-being-healed-from-cancer.html.  Miracles really do happen, so try not to let the news that you have cancer take away all your hope!!  Sometimes hope is all we have.

What’s next for our two love struck teenagers ~ Justin and Alex?  It’s actually quite tragic that Justin finds his true love again only to lose her in the end because she was defending him against Mason, Alex’s new love interest.  It was quite a fascinating turn of events to find out what happens to a vampire once they are scratched by a werewolf.  First off, the Vampire loses all their vampire powers and then they turn as old as they really are.  It was interesting to find out that Juliet was 2,193 years old.  She moved pretty well for her age, don’t you think?

Then of course the other fascinating thing that was revealed in this episode is what happens to a werewolf once he's bitten by a vampire; they return to their wolf self permanently.  Hard to belief that these two young ones were willing to risk their immortality for the ones they loved.  And what made this even more tragic was the fact that they used to be in love with each other, albeit 300 years ago.  It makes you wonder just how far you would be willing to go for your true love.  I really hope that they find a way to bring these two characters back, especially Juliet.  I just loved her character, and the way she fit so perfectly with Justin’s character on the show!!

Until Next Time:  Happy Hunting!!
