Furniture Los Angeles

Recently we made a big move. In moving we had a lot to get rid of. In the process we also found ourselves buying new furnishings. I think furniture los angeles style is fun and different. You can have a unique look. What's not to like when you're able to have something new. That's right up my alley.

Coupons

I have never really gotten in to the coupon clipping but I may start. I was told by some friends that they have saved a bundle by doing just that. Most of the time I just throw the ads away and don't bother reading them. If my friends are telling the truth I could save loads of money by taking a little time to clip the coupons. I think I will give it a try.

A Seattle Soaker

Thanks to Frances Nguyen

The move to Seattle had been a wet one. I stood in the kitchen of my one bedroom walk up apartment in a cable knit sweater and leggings and listened to the rain pelt the large bay window to my left. I was surrounded by boxes in every room and knew I would eventually have to begin the tedious process of unpacking. For a little motivation, I contacted Direct TV seattle and scheduled my installation in two days. It had been months since I had the time to sit down and enjoy a great movie, and my chance was about to happen. I promised myself I would have the living room unpacked and decorated so I could enjoy my new place to the fullest when I collapsed into the sofa for movie night. I worked day and night since the weather was less than ideal for the rest of the week. Once I got started, I couldn’t wait to turn the cold space into a warm retreat. After the installation, I settled into my pajamas and wool socks and couldn’t help but think I should be watching Sleepless in Seattle.

Christmas Lights

How many of you enjoy having Christmas lights hanging outside? I have to say that I totally love them. My husband isn't a fan since he does the light hanging but he does it for me. Some of our neighbors have deer, elves and other characters lit up in their yards. We mainly have lights on the gutter and porch railing but I would like to add to that in the years to come.

Monster headphones

Technology has sure changed. I can remember when the huge speakers and stereo systems were in. We had the monster headphones and albums. You can still find great speakers and Monster headphones. They have come a long way. The sound is amazing. Systems are smaller and clearer now. I think progressing technology is a great thing.

New Grandson


Now don't you think this is the cutest little grandson ever? He arrived last Sunday and we have been helping at their home with the 2 older children. They are only 2 years old and 4 years old so they need help dressing and I am helping out with the cooking and serving meals. There are a lot of things to do like keeping the house clean, keeping the washing done up and the kitchen clean. It helps a lot when the older two take their naps. We are enjoying our new little grandson so much and they grow so fast.

Insurance

With the economy in the shape that it has been in for the past few years, we like many are looking to find ways to trim our budget. If there are ways to save money, then we are all for it.
Insurance is one area that you may find savings. When comparing rates a person can find a variety of costs and coverage. You can find assistance on this site, http://www.carinsurancerates.me. Here they will compare rates as well as your personal needs. Are you dealing with student drivers? They may be able to help. I know that was one of the most stressful times, insurance wise, that we dealt with. Look into their site for yourself.

Grandchild

We have a new grandchild. It our 5th grandchild now. We are so excited, as are his parents. They will be able to come home tomorrow afternoon. Their two other children are very excited to see their new little brother. We were all guessing it would be a boy and it is. He is so cute. We took the other two children up to see their new brother at the hospital. You can just imagine how excited they were.

UPPAbaby Cruz

My daughter loves baby strollers. I can't even tell you how many she has owned. I'm sure she has had the UPPAbaby Cruz stroller by now. She always has to have all of the accessories to boot. There are some fancy baby strollers on the market these days. Single, double and even triple strollers. She is about to have baby #3, so we'll have to see what's next for them. :0)

la flor dominicana

Growing up my dad always enjoyed smoking. I wondered why he did , but he did. He loved la flor dominicana a cigars and also like a pipe now and again. I have to admit I enjoyed the smell of a good cigar or pipe. To his last days , he loved smoking.

New

Our dog Zoe is still a little unsure of her surroundings. With the purchase of our new home and in a new town, she's just not sure what's going on. It's new and different for us also. A bit strange to be in a new town, but I think we're going to really like it. Zoe has also been dealing with some soreness and stiffness. Not sure if it's age or she really has a problem. We are watching her.

After the Divorce

Guest post by Gerard Mcdaniel

Things were tough after the divorce but I picked myself and the kids up and we’ve moved on. I miss Brian every day but I know we’re better off as exes and not still married. I’ve decided to start my own business which has been a dream of mine forever but I got enough capitol in the end to start the kids clothing store at last. I’ve been trying to do everything by the book and very carefully like going to BANK-CARD-PROCESSING.com and calling an HR rep from the state to make sure I’m following the law. The last thing I want is to get this store off the ground and have it be really successful and have Brian come along and try to take it from me! I’m really just excited to finally have something of my own and something my kids can hopefully one day inherit. It’s nice standing on my own two feet again after so many years of being a stay at home wife and mom for my family.

Dish

We have been with Mediacom for many years. After moving to a new town we found that Dish Network was way more reasonable and we actually have more with our package then we use too. We are still with Mediacom for our internet, which seems to be working out well. Dish is amazing! I think we'll stick with them.

Merchant cash advance

With the economy wavering at best. Many are finding themselves looking for jobs. Some have chosen to return to college. Some have decided to begin a new business. Sometimes it's difficult financially. With amerchant cash advance it can help get that much needed boost to get that business off the ground. I think it's great if someone is motivated enough to begin a business.

With aquatalia boots on Jildor site, you can give yourself a fashion face lift. Their look is unique and different. Their tory burch shoes can also make a statement for you. There are many styles and colors to choose from. A person will never grow weary of the new styles.

Time Flies

Where does the time go? The past month and a half have flown by. We were in the process of selling and buying a new home. We had to pack up and move after 28 years in our home, within 3 weeks. Then my dad fell ill and passed away in just 8 days. I can't believe it's Oct.!

RV towing

We lived in a town that built and manufactured RV's. It is quite the industry. There are many who thoroughly enjoy traveling across the country that way. While traveling a person can find rv towing assistance if needed. It's always good to know.

Dad

Early Aug my dad fell ill. With in a month he was gone. Looking back I still can't believe he's really gone. There are moments that I just shake my head. Can this really be real or is it a dream? He had prostate cancer several years ago and it came back in a mutant form that was very aggressive. By the time they told him, it was only eight days and he had passed. I miss you dad. Love you.

ipod nano case

Bill loves his technology. There is so many new and different things on the market these days. His ipod has the ipod nano case, ipod charger and more. There are accessories for everything! He enjoys his ipad a lot also. Spends a lot of time on it. Not sure what he all does on them.

Garage floor epoxy

We are in the midst of packing and moving. What a huge undertaking after 28 years of being here. My husband is busy trying to clean out his garage. He talks of garage floor epoxy and other things that I don't know very much about. It's his area I guess.

Happy days in our family!


There has been so much going on in our family that I haven't even had a chance to share that our youngest son, Jake got engaged. He and Renee went out to California to celebrate Renee's grandpa's 90th birthday. While there, Jake popped the question. She was so excited and surprised! So much fun!

Funny t shirts

Clothes come and go. There are many styles and colors. Since I was a teenager they have had funny t shirts. You will see a variety of slogans and pictures. There are some neat cute ones too. Of course you can always find a tshirt that has some sort of sports team on it. I enjoy wearing tshirts.

How many ways to lose weight?

I am overwhelmed by the amount of products there are now a days to help us lose weight! I always want to know the best weight loss pills that work fast but come on! There are so many different brands and different kinds of products. When you turn the TV on, there are advertisements for so many different ways to lose weight! Then you go in to talk to an expert in a health store and you get the run around about 100 products and told that "it is up to you." Why can't there just be a couple products to choose from? wow!

What a Change!


Posted by Gaylord Campbell

I can’t believe what a change this new life has meant for my whole family here in Texas. We moved a few months ago because my husband took a new job and we’ve all been adjusting ever since but I’ve never seen the kids so happy or my husband so fulfilled in his work life. I’ve been making friends left and right because people are so friendly down here and Layla in particular has really meant a lot to me. She helped me with everything from suggesting we go to SHOPelectricityratestexas.com/ to get our electricity rates down to finding a good doctor for the kids and I’m really grateful for her to introducing me to so many other great moms. I can’t wait for the school year to start so we can find out how the kids like their new school but I have a feeling it’s going to be great at the end of the day. They’re both outgoing and don’t usually have a lot of trouble finding their place in the world!

Retirement

We know many people who have retired and most are very happy. Some of them do extensive traveling while others just enjoy spending time with family. At least one of them received a very nice early retirement incentive that will help pay for health insurance. That would be a great deal. A majority are teachers who have received a wonderful retirement package.

Hewlett Packard toner cartridges

With the newer technology today we find ourselves needing an abundance of supplies. If you are out of hewlett packard toner cartridges, they are easy to find. On line has made shopping for computer products a breeze. No longer to do you have to run around wasting time looking for something. Just jump on the computer and in a few clicks you will find what you are needing.

House Hunting

Lately we have been considering a move. We have been through many houses recently and find ourselves returning to our home and saying, we have a nice house here. It's making us really appreciate what we have and all we've done here. We may not be moving after all.

Skydiving and life insurance

Many years ago we moved to a small community. In a small town you usually hear any new news pretty quickly. There was a skydiving accident and a local women was killed. It was very sad. In some cases skydiving and life insurance go hand in hand unfortunately.

Best gifts for boyfriends

Have you ever noticed how difficult it can be to shop for a man. Women are easy. There are so many choices and ideas out there for them. Now its not so difficult to find the best gifts for boyfriends or any man in your life. If it's a romantic occasion it can be easier then ever. See how creative you can be.

Earwigs

Do you have earwigs in your area? We sure do here. They are a nasty looking little brown bug. We never use to have them. About three years ago they showed up. Now they have become a pest. They love dark, damp areas. We find ourselves putting spray around the doors to keep them out. Where do all these bugs come from?

Actos lawsuit

It sure does seem like there is always a new drug coming out that is supposed to help cure or control some illness in our world. Almost so many that it is hard to keep up on them all and to fully know their side effects. For example, Actos is an oral medicine that is meant to help control diabetes. Unfortunately, Actos has been connected to serious injuries such as heart attacks, heart failure, and increased risk of bladder cancer. As you can imagine, these things could easily lead to an Actos lawsuit. It is good this information has come out so that others can see the information for themselves and make sure to not take risks they aren't wanting to take.

Sunshine

When it's hot and humid we have to quickly remind ourselves of how cold it can be. Our winters here can seem long and nasty. We have our share of snow and can have very bitter temperatures as well. I guess we better enjoy the warm while we have it.

Dog Treats

Our dog is very spoiled. We have given her many different kinds of treats over the years. Some she likes and some she doesn't. The ones she gets now are just cheap hard biscuits. They break up pretty easily so we can give her a smaller portion when we want. We actually used to give her some kind of dog gravy over her food. Can you believe that? Dog gravy!!

Multaq lawsuit

Did you know that it was recently found that the drug Multaq was found to be associated with some very serious side effects. Sure, it is meant to help control or cure another illness, but according to the Food & Drug Administration, released on January 4, 2011, Multaq is connected with severe liver damage. Symptoms of severe liver damage are far reaching and include stomach pain, weakness, shortness of breath, redness, difficulty breathing, rashes, diarrhea, rapid weight gain, and slowed heartbeat. I can imagine that these findings will lead to some Multaq lawsuit surfacing in the future. I hope the damage done by this drug is as minimal as possible.

Womens Sandals

The past couple of years I've been purchasing leather womens sandals. I've searched for about every color. It's great to have the right color sandal for that special outfit. They have been so comfortable that I find myself wearing them everywhere. I even went shopping all day in a pair last weekend and my feet felt great!

Social Networking

It seems that everyone is on some kind of social networking site these days. I have tried more than one and have found that right now I am sticking to one in particular. I will let you guess which one it is. I will give you a hint. There was a movie made about it. Oh, you need another hint? College kids thought the whole thing up and it is world wide now and the main creator is a billionaire. I am sure you now know which social networking site I use.

HP Batteries

My kids are sure into technology. It has come so far since I was young. I thought it was great to have a microwave that weighed a ton or a disk player I could carry while I walked. now there are so many wireless products available. You may need hp batteries, but can walk around with our cords to trip on. It just amazes me.

New Grill

For Father's Day my husband got a new grill. It is a stainless steel Brinkman. It is wonderful. I am sure that you could grill about forty hamburgers on it at one time. You might even have room for steaks too. It is by far the nicest grill we have had. We have already used it several times and love it. I would strongly recommend it.

Barcode scanners

I enjoy shopping. Whether it's for clothes, food or home improvements, it's a lot of fun. It's neat how they now have the barcode scanners so you can check prices on items as you shop. Sometime I'm not really sure what they will ring up at especially if they are on sale.

Rain Rain Rain

It has been raining for days. Where is the sunshine? It's officially summer now and it would be nice to feel like it some days. I bought some new flowers and wanted to plant them, but it's just been too wet to do so. It's even difficult to find a day to mow.

Easy DIY Valentine's chocolates

Guest post written by Amy Sherman

I love the idea of making all kinds of homemade Valentine's candy with my family. But, I think that some of the recipes for making candy that I find on the internet just sound like so much trouble to get so little out of them! So, instead, I decided to try and find some really simple versions of Valentine's candy to make for my family for the holiday.

So I went online to find some recipes for really easy types of candy to make. As I was searching for some of those, I came across the website www.get.wildblue.com and after I looked through all of it, I decided to change over our home internet service to the provider on that website. Our internet service hasn't been working too well for a while anyway, so I was glad to find that website.

I did find some recipes for easy DIY Valentines chocolates, that include using candy trays for them. I even found one that includes chocolates with a peanut butter center, so I hope those turn out as planned.

Father's Day

What a great Father's Day! It turned out to be sunny and warm. One of my husbands favorite things to do is to golf. He and our son-in-law decided to go golfing. Then my daughter and I made one of their favorite meals for supper. My mom's enchilada recipe. It turned out very good. Our son's later called their dad, which also made his day. I called my dad today also. It sounded like he had a nice day too. :)

Extenze side effects

In taking any type of medication, I feel it is important to be informed. I like to read up on all that it does and side effects it may have. For your own well being you may want to check out extenze side effects and safety as well as other drugs you may take or be prescribed. Checking with your medical doctor is probably best.

vtech batteries

I was cleaning out my refrigerator today and found that I had half a shelf of a variety of batteriers. There are AA, AAA, D, C,vtech batteries and more. I was told once, long ago, that batteries will last longer if kept in the fridg. I think it's time to slow down on buying them however.

Blackberry

My current phone is a Blackberry. It is the first one I have had and so far I have to say that it is a good phone. It does have very small keys but I have gotten used to them. I have some music downloaded on the phone and it also takes fairly good pictures. I may change to a different phone next time but for now I like this one.

iphone 4 accessories

My youngest son is so into technology. He loves all of the latest newest gadgets. He has teh iphone 4 and never seems to keep a phone for very long. He will buy the newest one and loves all of the iphone 4 accessories as well. He can't seem to get enough.

Yoga pants

Life can be stressful. Everyone always seems so busy. There are ways to relax. For some it may be by doing yoga. I saw a picture recently of a group doing yoga in central park. They were wearing neat yoga pants and other gear. It' looked like they were having fun with it.

Tub Time


We recently got together with all of our family. It was so much fun. Later in the day after the kids came in from playing,they decided they wanted to take a bath. They all crawled in together. They can still fit. It won't be long and they won't anymore.

Electronic Cigarettes

Growing up I watched my dad and brother both smoke. Dad like cigarettes, cigars and even a pipe now and again. They can all leave a mess at times. I was wondering if either of them had seen the Blu Cigs. The rechargeable cigarette that has a cartridge and comes in different flavors. You can purchase these with a 1 year warranty and also a 30 day money back guarantee. So really, there isn't a risk. You can always return them. The free shipping is a plus also. Times have changed and so has the cigarette. Check these out if you are looking for something different.

Housing Market

Apparently the housing market has changed in the recent months. It has been many years since we bought our home so we aren't really in the loop of home sales and purchasing. I do know that interest rates have dropped considerably since our purchase. Some have talked about interest in the lower 3% range. Our first home loan was over 12%. What a difference!

A Little Rain

Some say the rain is much needed and some that live a short distance away say they have had enough. As long as we don't get bad storms I don't mind an evening of rain. It tends to clean things off a bit and makes everything smell fresh. As I have said before, it is better to have rain than snow.

ATV Lights

We went up to Wisconsin to see my relatives years ago. It was so much fun and quite beautiful. They have a cabin out in the woods and ATV's that we took out for a ride in the woods at night. The ATV Lights were blinding if we happened to see a deer. Being out in nature was so much fun!

Naturally increase testosterone

I know there are people who struggle with health issues. I had a cousin that had problems during adolescence with growth. Back then you couldn't find all of the products that are on the market today. He could have looked into a naturally increase testosterone supplement. They say that Omega 3 can help also.

Christmas photo cards

We are considering putting our house on the market. So we have begun some deeper cleaning. While working in one of my cupboards, I came across some older Christmas photo cards. It was fun to see them. People have changed so much and some of them are no longer with us. Time sure has a way of changing things, doesn't it?

Reading

Have you ever seen the signs that say 'readers are leaders'? It has been many years since I have seen one but the phrase has stuck in my head. I do think that reading is a good thing although it depends on what is being read. My favorite book is the Bible. There are many other good books too. I know people that enjoy fiction rather than true stories. Some love the romance while others read westerns. Whatever the story, I do think it is important to be a good reader. So go ahead, read!

Topamax lawsuit

When reading about the Topamax lawsuit, I was quite surprised. As one that has taken this drug in the past, it was a concern to have read about this. For many years I have dealt with migraines. Topamax is an anti-convulsant drug. It is often used to treat epileptic seizures. It can also be prescribed to help prevent migraines. They are now finding that Topamax can result in birth defects such as cleft palate and cleft lip. The law firm of O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath understand this lawsuit and the effects of Topamax. For more information you can contact them at O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath – Personal Injury Lawyers – 808 West Avenue, Austin, TX. 78701 – 512-494-9949.

Blackberry Phone

I have had my Blackberry phone several months and I am getting used to it. I know there are many features that I haven't used yet but I am catching on pretty well. There are so many cool phones to choose from. Maybe next time I will get something different but for now the Blackberry is fine.

Relaxing

Tonight I decided to relax a bit. I have been cleaning the house, washing clothes and planting flowers so I figured it would be nice to kick back a bit tonight. It has been great weather for outside work and our yard looks pretty good. It has been dry but we may get some rain soon. This is one of favorite seasons.

Topamax Birth Defects Lawyer

Over the years I have suffered with migraines. In doctoring I was placed on the drug Topamax. It was to help stop and lesson the migraines I was having. I began to lose my hair so was soon taken off of the drug. Now I am reading about other side effects that may be connected with this medication. A Topamax Birth Defects Lawyer can give you more details and information about this. Topamax may result in serious birth defects such as a cleft palate or cleft lip. With those you can experience problems with eating and communicating. If concerned you can find out more.

Hammock



What a wonderful place to relax. My son gave his wife a hammock for Mother's Day. While there over Memorial Day, we all had to try it out. What a great place to relax. The grand kids loved it too!

hgh supplements

There are many people out there concerned about healthy living and an increase in muscle mass. My nephews are into the body building and are looking great! I'm not sure if they are taking hgh supplements or not, but seem to be at the gym working out quite a bit. I feel it's important to do your research and check with your doctor before a new work out regiment or taking supplements.

Hair loss product

It's amazing to find so many people who have suffered with hair loss due to stress, illness and medications. For those looking for a solution you can find a hair loss product. There are several on the market. I had dealt with this due to a medication I was taking and found shampoos also that were suppose to help. It's not a fun thing to deal with.

Getting Late

I can tell it is getting late when I see my husband snoozing on the couch. At least for him it is late. At about 9pm he is already sleeping. Recently it was even earlier than that. He does work hard so I guess he has a right to be tired. These cool nights we have had lately do make for great sleeping.

Austin personal injury attorney

The latest is that there could be dangerous side effects from the drug Topamax. It is an anti-convulsant drug used in the treatment of epileptic seizures and also to help prevent migraines. I suffer from migraines and have taken this drug myself in the past. Now they are looking at the possibility of it causing certain birth defects such as cleft lip or cleft palate. This is when the lip or palate fail to completely fuse together. The defect can cause a notched lip or an open groove in the palate of the mouth extending to the nose.
An Austin personal injury attorney from O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath, can assist you on a liability claim if needed. They are a highly trained staff and can be reached at:

Cooler Weather

The past two nights have been a little cooler. It makes for great sleeping when it is cooler. At least I thinks so. Having the window open and the cool breeze coming in is wonderful. I am sure the temperatures will rise again but for now I am going to enjoy the cool. This time of year is one of my favorites.

Menards

We do quite a bit of shopping at our local Menards store. They have so much to offer. We were just there tonight. We needed to return a few items. The process was very easy, but then we did have the receipt. That always helps. We have purchased electrical items, mowers, doors and trim. We like the store and can usually find what we are looking for.

Another Week

It seems like the weeks just fly by. I am very busy at work and that makes the time go by quickly. I think I work better when I am busy. There are some people that like to just get by but that isn't me. I enjoy my days off too but I also like my work. When I am home I always have something to do and I love it.

Compare Diet Pills

Everywhere I turn I'm hearing about new diet pills that are sure to help you lose weight. Although I've never tried them myself, I think it's an interesting idea and one that seems to have really captured the interest of many people as well. Whether they all work or not, I don't know. But I do know that there are many choices and it probably makes it easier for people to find the right one. If it were me I'd be researching a lot online and looking for comparison sites and review. No matter if you're looking for something like Lipofuze or something else...you're sure to find a lot of helpful information online.

Chamilia

Anyone that knows me knows how much I love and enjoy jewelry. I can always find something to buy. Places like chamilia Jewelry gives many choices. You can even design your own creation. That would be awesome! I've never had the opportunity to do that. I may have to check this out further.

New Homes

According to the news the building of new homes has slowed down. I think the sale of new homes has also slowed. In our town many homes are for sale but some, in a certain price range, have been on the market for a long time. Hopefully the economy will change for the better and homes will sell again.

Topamax lawsuit

I've been hearing about the Topamax lawsuit that is out there. Topamax is a anit-convulsant type of drug. It is used in treatment for migraine patients as well as children and adults how deal with epileptic seizures. This drug has now been linked with possibly having something to do with birth defects. Cleft lip or cleft palate are of concern. This is when the lip or palate fail to completely fuse together. The defect results in a small or notched lip or can in some cases leave an open groove that extends from the roof of the mouth to the nose.
The law firm of O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath can assist you if you are in this situation. They and their experienced and highly trained staff understand that your child injuries may be from the side effects of Topamax. They can handle complex porductsliability claims.

Supper

Supper is in the oven and I can tell my husband is ready to eat. He has been telling me how good the meal is smelling. All the comments from him tell me that he is waiting for me to finish making supper. It is quite funny because he is just hinting as if I don't know what he is thinking or doing. I guess I can take a break and get the meal on the table.

Roll Top Desk

My husband remembers growing up in a home where was an old roll top desk. He said it was around as far back as he remembers. It was a lighter color and in very good condition. The wonderful thing is, we now have one like the desk he remembers. It is a wonderful piece of furniture and quite useful. It is very well made too. I am glad we got it.

Topamax lawsuit

For years I have been a suffer of migraines. It has been a long road and not to much fun. Doctors first tried putting me on the drug Topamax. It must be a fairly harsh drug because I began to lose my hair. We soon found that it wasn't really helping me and was taken off of the drug. It is a anti-convulsant drug that is usually used to treat children and adults for epileptic seizures.
Now it is being questioned as to the side effects and how it may possibly be resulting in some birth defects. They are thinking that it may cause cleft lip or cleft palate. This is when the lip or palate fail to completely fuse together.
The law firm of O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath are assisting some in their Topamax lawsuit.These attorneys understand that your child's injuries may not be your fault, but possibly a dangerous side effect of this drug. You can reach this firm at,

Jokes

We all know people who are great at telling jokes. Those talented people who actually remember the punch lines. Then there are those who just can't get the joke right. It wouldn't matter if they had just heard the joke and they were trying to repeat it to someone else. They are the ones that start to laugh while telling the joke but never quite finish. Sometimes this makes it even funnier.

Blogging

Thanks for the post from Sylvester Campbell

When I first started working on putting together my blog, there were so many domains out there to choose from I got kind of overwhelmed. This thing was supposed to just be a hobby and I certainly wasn’t very technically inclined, so I asked Jenna to come over and help me from there. She walked me through hosting packages and the templates for design…I felt much better after our talk. I’ve been blogging now, as you guys know, for about two months and I absolutely love it! I find that it’s a great outlet for me at the end of a long day and I’m definitely looking forward to working on my writing through the site. I think my favorite part has to be when I ! see that I have a new reader/follower, and especially since I got one last week that was a total stranger! That was the highlight of this whole experience! I’m going to keep blogging as long as the technology doesn’t advance faster than I can keep up with it!

iPad Cover

The iPad cover that we have is designed for the first version and won't work with the iPad 2 because it has two cameras and needs a hole to accommodate the outer camera. That means if we buy the new one we will have to find a different cover. I have checked and there are some that I like but they are very expensive. Hopefully we can find one that works for us at a fair price.

Two step stool

For Christmas we got our youngest son some items for his home. One thing he was lacking was a two step stool. I am very short and when helping him at his place I often found that I was in need of standing taller. Either to clean, paint or help with installing new light fixtures. They are a handy item to have around. I think I need one at home also.

Colon cleanser

We are finding that there are many things we can do to better take care of our bodies. Diet and exercise is right there on the top. Many take vitamins also. To have a colon cleanser of some sort is becoming more popular as well. I guess we should take care of our bodies. They are the only ones we're given. :)

Blackhead removal

I never realized how many different skin conditions a person could actually have. A few years ago I found a spot that looked suspicious. I went to the doctor and he sent me to a dermatologist. There I found that I had a basil cell and had it removed. Recently while visiting my dermatologist I was told that I had a spot. It was a blackhead and that he could do a blackhead removal. I decided to wait and see if I wanted it removed or not.

Panasonic home theater system

I'm not sure why but we own many TV sets. We have them in about every room in the house. Ease I guess. If we want to see something it is available where ever we happen to be at the moment. A panasonic home theater system is a great plus also. When watching movies it's great to have the awesome theater sound. You feel like you are at the show in the comfort of your own home.

Blackberry Phone

My husband has a Blackberry for his work. He is getting used to it but at first wasn't a big fan of it. It is the Bold model and I have the Curve. I like mine better because it is lighter weight. Some say they are an outdated phone but for now that is what we have. So far they have worked fine.

Adapexin-p

As we grow older we often find ourselves gaining those unwanted pounds. It seems more difficult to shed them also. Some chose diet and an increase in exercise. Others may chose adapexin-p or other products like it. It's always important to speak with your doctor before using certain products for your own health. There are many reviews a person can read on weight loss products such as these.

Offshore Injury

There are so many concerns in lives today. Problems in the gulf of Mexico seems to be one of them. There are those who have suffered serious Offshore Injury while working there. It's difficult and dangerous work. People are working on the oil platform, barge or a cargo ship. These accidents become all to common unfortunately. It's good to know that there is help and assistance offered to those in need.

Charlotte jobs

With our economy wavering over the past few years, there have been many finding themselves jobless. I feel for them because it has been difficult finding new jobs. There are helpful websites that can guide a person towards charlotte jobs or jobs in other areas. It's nice to know that through the internet you may find some connections.

Snack

Every once in awhile an evening snack sounds good. Recently we had an evening like that. We made popcorn with lots of butter and topped it with M&Ms. It was sure good. We splurged and had some soda too. Does it help that it was a diet soda? I didn't really think so either. I guess once in awhile it isn't all bad to have a snack.

Cigar

When I was growing up my dad was always a smoker. He totally enjoyed it and I think he still does. He would smoke cigarettes,cigars or even a pipe. I didn't mind the smell of a cigar or pipe. They can be quite unique. He had many fancy ashtrays throughout the house.

Collective Bargaining

There has been a lot of news lately about collective bargaining. I have never worked in a job that has had a union and I don't totally understand collective bargaining. Many of the surrounding states have had issues with it. From the little I know about the whole thing I am in favor of the hard working employees that get good benefits. I sort of feel for the employer too.

Hydroxycut

Well, like many, my husband and I are finding that the body sure changes with age. We can no longer eat anything we want without it affecting us in some way. Weight gain seems quicker and easier. That is not a good thing. There are many weight loss products like hydroxycut on the market today. It is important to check with your doctor and do you research. We are trying to cut down on our portion size. We'll see how it goes.

Digital Video Cables

Isn't it something how slim and sleek the TV's today have become. They are so light weight and easy to move and install. With the digital video cables you can watch all of your favorite HD programs. What a difference it can make. We are a very spoiled people aren't we? We seem to have them in just about every room in our home.

Colon cleansing reviews

There are all kinds of health ideas out there today. We have friends who were into reading colon cleansing reviews and trying this method out. It's suppose to be quite beneficial. More and more I see how important it is to take care of our bodies. They are the only ones we are given.

Wind

Wow, winter may be officially over but it has still been quite cold. The wind has been terrible too. The rain has pretty much washed the snow away. It is nice to see grass again even though it is quite brown. Before long we should be mowing. I should say my husband should be mowing. That is a job that I don't do.

Ticketamerica.com

Our family enjoys traveling. Planning a vacation can take sometime. It is so worth the time spent however. We have found that using ticketamerica.com assists us with some of our entertainment. They offer so many things. Whether you're wanting to go to the theater or a sporting event, they can help you.

New Blanket

I got a new blanket for Christmas and I love it. It is so nice to wrap up with it on the couch in the evening. It is extremely soft and for not being a real heavy blanket it is very warm. My husband hasn't gotten a chance to use it because I grab it first. Actually I have asked him if he'd like to use it but since he knows how much I enjoy the blanket he lets me have it.

Waiting For Warmth

I understand that it is only February but I am still waiting for the warmth of summer. Or at least spring. It has been terribly cold this winter and it is time for a change in seasons. People have been heading out to warmer climates for vacation and I have to say that I wish I was one of them. Come on warmth.

Roadside Assistance

Have you ever had a problem while on the road. Cars can be so unpredictable. There is nothing like being stranded along side the highway. A great roadside assistance program is a plus. If you have someone to call at that moment it is a security blanket for most. I like to know that I am covered.

Keeping Up The News

I think it is important to keep on top of the news so we know what is going on in our country. Having said that there are so many things going on that we really don't need to know. Much of the crime information doesn't need to be published. There are some things that just make people upset when they hear about them.

Conference Calls

Technology has sure come along ways. I can remember when the only phone we had was our land line at home. If you were away from home then it was difficult to be reached. The cell phone invention is amazing. They have such neat features. Conference calls, caller ID and more. What a handy way to visit with others. Now we're not sure what we ever did without them.

Rifle Scopes

My husband is in Law Enforcement and has been for many years now. We are use to having guns and rifles around the house. They are not something I like to handle. There are so many parts to them like the rifle scopes, locks and holsters. I'm not sure, but I don't think I've ever even shot one before. That's ok with me.

Gas Prices

I am sure everyone has noticed the high cost of gas lately. We try to fill the gas tank each time we come home from any travel. Our vehicles get pretty average gas mileage. I don't like seeing the prices rise any more than other people since there are other things I would prefer to spend on. I am hopeful that prices come back down. Do you think that is possible?

Lose Weight Fast

I'm no different then anyone else. I would like to lose weight fast so that I can enjoy wearing my summer clothes soon. It's not fun trying on clothes when I have these unwanted extra pounds hanging around. I think I need to get serious about eating less and exercising more. It's just so hard to do. I love food and seriously dislike exercise.

Garage Door Openers

We have lived in our home for almost thirty years now. My husband has always wanted to build another garage, but we just haven't gotten it done. There has always been something else that needed doing first. The garage we presently have is attached and has garage door openers. That is the only way to go. We are a spoiled society aren't we?

Do diet pills work?

There are so many today that are trying to lose weight. More then ever I think. It is not a fun task. Are you around people who always seem to be dieting? We ask ourselves, do diet pills work or are there other methods to losing those unwanted pounds. We talked about eating less and exercising more. Maybe that's the answer?

Acne Scar

While raising three children we found we faced individual challenges. Each child is quite different. I think this is normal in most families. During the adolescent years acne was a huge issue. I know that there are some who face the concerns of an acne scar and worse. It's nice to know that there are creams and methods available to help in those cases.

New Golf Club

Last year my husband bought a new golf club. Every couple years he likes to get something new for his golfing. He got a new driver last year and he has talked about getting a new putter too. I don't know why he would need a putter since he has only had it a few years. I doubt it is worn out yet.

Last Chance Highway wins my Saturday nights!!!!

Contribution by Darren Saunders

If you have never seen "Last Chance Highway" on Animal Planet, it's time to tune in! It's one of the best reality shows out there in my personal opinion. Two animal rescuers rehabilitate dogs who would otherwise be euthanized and find them their "forever homes". If you ever watch it even only once then you will be hooked. That's how it got me in! I was suckered into a story about puppies that had to overcome a terrible skin disease. I am so thankful that I have Direct TV Special Deals service because otherwise I may never have stumbled upon this show that makes my soul smile. It's on at 8pm on Saturdays so I can either spend a great night in, curled up on the couch, or watch it later since I can set the DVR. I love it!! I always wish they would do follow-up episodes about six months later though in the "forever homes". They have such stringent applications and specifications for these animals, I would just love to know that it is indeed working out for the best.

Blizzard Warning

Last week the weather got quite bad but there wasn't a blizzard warning until evening. They were predicting wind and light snow, which is what we got. I think there was more wind than anyone thought there would be. I am glad we were able to stay inside where it was nice and warm.

Bath Rug

Recently we spent a weekend at our daughters. After supper I took the kids into the bathroom for their bath time. I knelt down on their bath rug so I could reach the kids. It was so soft. It eased kneeling down. It's definitely worthy having a rug down in front of the tub. There are so many neat household items.

Information Technology Jobs

With unemployment on the rise, more and more people are going back to school for training towards information technology jobs and other interests. There is a rise in college attendance. Not only for BA degrees, but also master programs. It will be nice to see unemployment begin to drop.

iPod Touch

My husband got an iPod Touch for Christmas and he loves it. He has quite a few songs on it already and checks his mail and facebook on it each day. It is very handy to take anywhere due to it's small size. I wouldn't mind having one someday but for now can use his if I want to. Technology has really changed in the past few years, that is for sure.

Ankle Brace

My son is very talented when it comes to technology. Since he was very young he has had a computer in front of him. Due to the hours and hours that he puts in on the computer he now finds himself wearing a wrist brace some. He has had some wrist pain and is now to the point that he is needing to doctor for it. My cousin is having issues with her diabetes and has been hospitalized recently. She now has an ankle brace she has to wear. I'm thankful for the medical appliances that are available on the market today.

Weather

You have heard the song that includes 'the weather outside is frightful' I am sure. Well, today that is what I would call it. The wind has come up and the light snow is really blowing. I headed out of town but turned around and am now safe in my warm house. I am glad to be back although I was looking forward to having a night out.

Get Rid Of Belly Fat

If you are like me you know when it is necessary to cut back and lose weight. My husband is constantly telling me he needs to get rid of belly fat. I suggest to him that he knows what to do about it. Rather than just talk about it he needs to do something about it, don't you think? He loves to go work out at the YMCA and he also loves to eat the good things we make at home from cookies to casseroles.

Which Diet Pills Work

Have you ever used diet pills? Do you know which diet pills work and which ones don't? There seems to be a big difference in them. I know people that are on some pills that just don't seem to be good for them and that aren't working. It is very important to find the right ones for them to work the way they should. Find out what is best for you before you take any diet pill.

Steel Drum

There are many uses for a steel drum. When I was a child growing up on the farm we always had steel drums laying around. Some of us kids would often just play with them but dad usually had a plan for them. I know now that they had a use but as a child they were a toy.

Friday, January 7, 2011

Music

It is great that there are so many types of music because what I like and what others like are very often different. Growing up our parents listened to some music that I really have never been fond of but they liked it. My guess is that when my kids get to be my age they may say the same about my music.

Galaxy Tablet PC

Wow, has technology soared over the past ten or fifteen years! We bought our first computer about fifteen years ago. It was a huge dinosaur. With not much hard drive, we soon filled it and moved on to something bigger. Now they are much smaller in size. The Galaxy Tablet PC is very handy and small. It amazes me.

Find Jobs

Over the past couple of years there are many who have found themselves jobless. It is a scary thing to face. They are also finding it a difficult process to find jobs. My brother is in that boat right now. He has found that there are many new technical ways in which to apply for jobs. The times have changed.

iPod

My husband got a new iPod for Christmas. He had purchased one less than a year ago but the new one has two cameras and other neat features. Our kids were the ones that got him thinking of the new one. He is happy with it so I guess that is what counts. They are a pretty cool little device. Maybe I will get one too some day.

Buy Gold Coins

We are beginning to hear more and more about how wise to buy gold coins and gold krugerrands. Krugerrand is a type of gold coin. In today's economy many are searching for the best way to earn back the losses they have endured over the past couple of years. With the United States Gold Bureau you can purchase silver, gold and other precious metals. They can assist you with an immediate and secure delivery to the depository or bank of your choosing. Gold and silver can be bought in an ingot form. This is a pure bullion cast that is made into a convenient size and shape for storing. Browse their website for yourself.

Mom and Dad


It's always great to have my parents here. They try to come to as many family functions as they can. We had a wonderful time over Christmas. Most of the family was able to make it here!

Viking's Fans in the House!!


We have some Vikings fans in the house. Our son-in-law and grandson received jerseys for Christmas. It looked so cute when they dressed up together. The men in the family like to take in a game or two a season. They have a lot of fun together! :)

United States Gold Bureau

With our economy wavering over the past couple of years, people are unsure which route to take when it comes to investing. The United States Gold Bureau can assist you in the purchasing of gold, silver and other precious metals. WSJ says Buy Gold, you'll be glad you did!

Israel


Little Israel is the youngest of our grandchildren. He just turned one in December. What a little sweetheart he is. Always has a smile for you. :)

His lap was full!


Uncle Jake sure had fun with some of his nieces and nephews. He was entertaining them with some of their shows on his Ipad. They loved it!
