Moving

30 April 2009

A few days ago I was talking to my brother in law on the phone.  He lives up in Duluth, Minnesota, and my wife and I are thinking about moving our family up there to be closer to him and his family.  We were asking him all kinds of questions about the schools, houses available, taxes, and even as far as health insurance plans in Minnesota.  It sounds like things are going to be pretty nice up there.  My kids are all excited to swim in Lake Superior, and my wife is happy to be in a place where it snows in the winter.

Head Lice Scare

30 April 2009

My sister just came home from her friends house with some news that her friend had just found out that her and her whole family had lice. All I could think of was how unclean it is and that she now has probably passed it on to all of us. My mother assured us that we were most likely all safe from it but that she would have a home treatment for head lice on hand just in case we needed it. She let me know that we could even treat ourselves even if we didnt have it. I feel much better about the whole thing with her encouragmnet but will feel even better when the whole thing has passed.

They Had To Fix The Lines Before We Could Install Their Furnace

30 April 2009

As we walked through this huge building we checked every line because it looked like they had a bunch of boneheads working for them. We found so many things wrong with what they did it was not even funny. Their contractors looked at us very mad like we were making this stuff up! We told them that we could not install their Goodman gas furnace until they fixed all of the problems. They made us stay there until they fixed them. They wanted that furnace to be up and running as soon as possible. These were not very nice people.

The Coffee Grinder - A Worthwhile Investment

29 April 2009

I never thought that grinding my own coffee beans would make my daily cup of coffee that much different. That is until I gave it a try. What a difference! If you really want to make that perfect cup of fresh coffee there is no doubt about that your going to have to grind your own beans. Choosing the right coffee grinder can be a lot more complicated then you might think. A key factor in deciding what type of grinder you need is what type of coffee maker you are using. The two main types of coffee grinders are burr and blade. I prefer to use a drip style coffee maker so a blade coffee grinder is the best option for me. If you use an espresso machine then you might be better off using a burr grinder.

A Thousand Toys

29 April 2009

When my son was born, I think my mother bought as many baby things as I did! She wanted her house to be all set up for her grandson, so that we would come visit a lot, without having to get stressed out about bringing a lot of stuff. She bought a baby high chair, a changing table, a crib, a baby swing, and about a thousand toys and diapers. It is so nice to be able to spend the day at my mom’s house, and have all the things that make life with a six month old easier and more comfortable.

29 April 2009

For those trying to lose weight it’s definitely not a secret that it can be a difficult road.  However, for those who are committed to the goal, there are a number of different things that could potentially help out.  One such thing is meal planning diet programs.  Fat Loss 4 Idiots is one such program that’s been getting some good discussion on a couple different diet forums.  I definitely suggest looking into this program and researching the pros and cons.  Basically it uses a method called “Calorie Cycling” in order to plan out all your meals.  There’s no portion restrictions, only a “fullness” restriction.

Pretend to be a Cowboy in Cowboy Fancy Dress

29 April 2009

Last year, at my firm’s annual Halloween party, we were all advised to attend in costume. In years past, I had been a police officer, a fireman and a prisoner. Lat year, I decided that I wanted to go in a Cowboy fancy dress costume. I enlisted my wife to locate what I needed in order to make the costume as authentic as possible. She looked around at the local shops, and then resorted to going online. She found a fabulous costume with all kinds of fun and interesting accessories. She did a great job, and I got a lot of compliments on the costume.

Eureka Tetragon 8 Tent is Awesome!

29 April 2009

When looking for the perfect 4 person tent, look no further than the Eureka Tetragon 8 Tent.  We recently purchased one for our family for our frequent outdoor weekends.  The polyester keeps out the rain and it’s very sturdy, even under windy conditions.  The best part of all is that it’s one of the easiest tents on the market to set up.  After a long hike, you don’t want to be suffering through reading instructions and trying to figure out how to set the poles up.  Do yourself a favor and at least look into one of these tents before deciding on your next purchase.

Acohol Posioning & Brain Damage

28 April 2009

Then dangers of alcohol often go unnoticed.  For many of us drinking is normal and so has been for centuries! We believe that the dangers of alcohol only are present when we drive under the influence, or when we do dangerous things while drunk.  However there is a more direct way alcohol can affect you permanently: alcohol poisoning.

What is alcohol poisoning? It is a condition that occurs when your body has more levels alcohol than the ones it can process through the liver. This condition leaves you in a state where you don’t responded to stimulus. It is not like a hangover, it is worse, and when you recover, you experience brain damage. Many times in the form of memory loss, or cognitive problems.

Always a Bottle of Water

28 April 2009

I always, without fail, carry a bottle of water around with me. I am known for it. In fact my family often make fun of me for being so water mad. It’s not that I necessarily drink more as a result (which is bad) it’s just that I get great comfort from the feel of the liquid slopping around in my bag. I have a fear that one day I will be pounced on by the thirst monster and on that particular day I will have no water to hand. I can’t think of anything worse. I should have my own personal water cooler!

Market Your Business with Stickers

28 April 2009

Stickers are a surprisingly versatile way to market your business.  If you have an upcoming event that you want to advertise, you can include a sticker for customers’ calendars when you send out correspondence about the event.  If you print stickers with the date and the name of your company, you can make sure that your event will stay fresh in your customers’ minds.  Stickers can be an economical way to get the information about our event out as well.  They are relatively inexpensive to print and there is a novelty about stickers that people respond to on a subconscious level.

Having Wealthy Friends Might Pay Off

28 April 2009

I have this wealthy friend who works very hard and is always traveling.  We are able to get together at times and when we do, it’s a great time for both of us.  He was telling me that he was thinking of buying a helicopter in order to get to the airport faster and save time.  He had gone to find some helicopters for sale and found this really nice one.  It was real nice and seats 7 people.  I was wondering why he would need to seat 7 people and he said, “Well, I have a lot of friends”.  I just thought, “I hope I get a ride.”

The item I’m putting down on my birthday list.

28 April 2009

My birthday is coming up in June and I am going to start my birthday wish list. I do this every year before my birthday. This is a habit that my parents got me into many years ago. The other day I had gone looking at golf trolleys. This was the kind of gift that I could really use. I had gotten a new set off gold clubs last year. The problem is I have been using the same golf bag since college. A friend of mine bought one of those trolleys and likes it very much. I think I will put this down on my list.
