Doctors skirted a bureaucratic logjam to save the life of three critically ill child victims of Haiti's earthquake, flying them to U.S. hospitals on a private jet to avoid a military suspension of medical evacuation flights.

Toys For Tots

I had 3 birthdays in January and it was for the 3 youngest grand daughter's of mine.  They are all born in the same month, and it's a bit expensive to get  toys  for the girl's in the month right after Christmas.  I look for sales and hope to find good deals when shopping during this time.  The after Christmas sales, help the expense on me and I search for something I know their age groups are interested in playing with.

Whittling........

Do you remember back a few years ago, when the men would sit outside and take a piece of raw wood, then begin to whittle it?  I remember my grandpa, would sit out in the yard, where the shavings could drop without causing a problem, and he would wile the time away, just sitting there whittling on that piece of wood.  Sometimes, he would spend days on one piece or put it up and go back to it a day or so later.  Depended on the weather, sometimes and on his mood other times.  He would whittle it right down to a bare thin piece, only to cut it up into tiny pieces and start on another piece, if he had one handy.
People don't do things like this anymore, because their lives are full of things that the modern world has delivered up for them to do.

Cribs Being Recalled.......

About 635,000 cribs sold by Kmart, Sears, Wal-Mart and other stores are being recalled after the death of a 6 month old child and other reports of injuries.  The 6 month old strangled after getting trapped in the crib when the drop-side hardware broke. Some of the cribs were also recalled because a child can be trapped if one of the slats is broken or damaged.  To receive a free repair kit to prevent this hazard, contact Dorel Asia at 866-762-2304.

Job Search........

Living in California, is very nice unless you are without work.  Searching for employment is very hard anywhere and you need assistance to find a good job.  The Oakland job search is centered around the Oakland and suburban areas locally.  If you are living in these areas then, finding a job will be hard to do unless you get a listing of employers who are hiring. You can find these online or go to your local workforce offices.

I'm Alone

I find that being alone, has it’s good sides.  It of course has it’s bad sides, but that’s to be expected.  I know that I am independent and that makes for many lonely days and nights.  I don’t expect anyone to accept me the way that I am, because they have their own ways of life.  Mine is to be without all the crap that people try to push on you.  Mine is to have a calm atmosphere around me.  I find that this world doesn’t know how to live without drama.  Drama is for idiots.  Life doesn’t have to be full of turmoil all the time….so, that’s why I separate myself from these people.

Fat Loss......

 Have you noticed all the products on the market for weight loss?  Everyone seems to have the safest weight loss pills  or types of diets to help you get the weight off.  It's necessary to make a decision and commitment to this action.  When you start a loose weight program, make sure that it's the right one for your body and health.  A doctor can evaluate your body and tell you how to go about this action.

Too Old....

If your a baby boomer as I am, then you know how the younger set of people preceive us.  It’s horrible the way we are treated, when we try to have a normal life.  It’s as if it’s time for us to go on and get out of the way.  I never thought things would be this bad, but now I find that this is what it’s come down to.  Once you get a certain age, you are labeled and pushed aside……..

Online Casinos........

Spending your time gambling online is fun, and if your good at the games, then it's for sure you will be a winner.  Winning whets my appetite and makes me want to go to an online casino  to play and fight the odds.  States have legalized gambling, and you find places closer to home where you can go and gamble.  It has become a lucrative establishment for many states and local  business owners.  You find that some of the Indian Reservations also have established a good business in the gambling world.
I can remember when it was considered a great vacation to be able to go to Vegas, and gamble.  You would either drive or book a flight and spend the weekend at one of the large casinos.  It was a grand time, if you came away with winnings, but many times people left without a cent.
My son, loves these online casinos, and you can be sure that he's on one of them if he's not at work.  It's a good way to pass the time, enjoy yourself, and win some money.
Now, we have an even better way of gambling right in your own home.  All you need is a computer, a bank account and knowledge of how to download files and your on your way.  Once you download an   online gambling  website you will need to register for an account. Most of the online casino gambling   website's are established an of good reputation.  Make sure to check out the website and it's reviews, before investing money into your account.  Once you have your account set up, then you can deposit certain amounts of money into your account with which to make bets.  Most of the time the website will make you deposit and that makes you have more money to play with.  I have tried it, but I'm just a novice and would loose my money to the people who are really good at playing the games. 
 more often.  Alas, my money isn't what is needed to keep up with the "big boys", so I have to play when it's available.
If you have a flair for gambling and enjoy the competition that's involved, then this is a great place to join.  I suggest that you get into a game that your comfortable with and get started with the winning.

Devastation in Haiti.......

A girl walks with a bucket full of water during water distribution after Tuesday's earthquake in Port-au-Prince, January 16, 2010. Four days after a massive quake killed up to 200,000 people and wrecked most of the capital Port-au-Prince, hundreds of thousands of Haitians were still desperately waiting for assistance as scavengers and looters preyed on shattered buildings in the widespread absence of authority and order.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the people who are going through this horrible time..........

Getting Old..........

This aging thing is really getting under my skin.  I don't like it and there's not a thing I can do to stop it.  The wrinkles just keep popping up and I'm about ready to invest in a good anti-aging cream.  There's a
best wrinkle cream review  website that can be accessed to see which one would be best to use.  I hope they don't cost an arm and a leg, because I'm on a fixed income.

Breast Fed Baby.........

Have you ever notice the difference between a formula and a breast fed baby?  The formula fed baby has a strong vitamin order, and the breast fed baby has a sweet smelling order.  I don't know why this is but it is true.  If you take the time to test this you will find my information correct.  The plus's you get from breast feeding far out weighs the formula diet.

Slim Quick.........

 This female fat burner is recommended by many of it's users.  They say that it's exactly what they needed to get rid of that body fat, they had accumulated during pregnancy.  If you are interested in finding out more information on SlimQuickExtreme, then go to the www.slimquickextreme.org  link and read what other people have to say about the product.  It's good to be able to find reviews on certain weight loss products, in order to judge which one you would try.

Baby Will Sleep..........

Have you ever noticed that a baby who is put to bed at the same time every night, will get very sleepy and start yawning when it nears it's bedtime?  It's true......if you make an effort to make sure your baby is in bed at a certain time every night, it's body automatically gives it the urge to go to sleep.  A good time frame for any child, will help the child conform to certain schedules and adhere to them. 
Babies, and children who are allowed to stay up, late do not conform to certain schedules and rules.  Therefore they will be unruly and not want to corporate when told it's time for bed.  I have seen young children who have been allowed to wander around late at night, and this only causes them to feel the need to act up. 
A nice quiet room with the lights low or completely out, is the best way for a child to sleep and rest well.  If you feel the need for some sort of light in the child's room, then use one of the small night lights that you can find a at local department store.  The light isn't so bright that it will keep the child awake.

Relief Arriving for Victims........

It is a very sad situation, and our hearts go out to the victims of this terrible tragedy.  

Wrinkles.......

 I found a website, that gave reviews on wrinkle removing ointments, and the product established by jan marini
 was listed in the reviews.  They gave the creams and other anti aging a high degree of approval.  I was wondering how they established the right levels of acids and vitamin C to use when developing their creams.  They listed possible side effects that might come along with using the creams for wrinkles and anti aging.  I would love to afford such products, but my budget won't allow it.  I realize that a good product, can be costly and that's why people who, are well off, financially are the one's who invest.

Prayers for Haiti.......

It is a sad time for these people.........I feel so sorry that it has happened, to innocent people, who were just trying to maintain, and live their lives.  My hope is that the world will come to their relief and rescue them as best as possible.  I realize there will be many deaths, and injuries, but the one's who are still alive, have another chance to go forward.  Please, join with the rest of the world and offer up your prayers to the Lord, for their help.  If your able make a donation, or volunteer in rescue efforts and help the Red Cross and World Relief organizations.

Skin Treatment

 The most unsightly thing, if not one of the worst is to see someone with blackheads.  It is common in people who don't bathe or cleanse their faces properly. I feel that some people's skin is just prone to having this problem, because their skin is so oily.  It's necessary to get help with this problem and find the best blackhead treatment available to combat the problem. I find that good hygiene helps with this situation, as well as good medicinal ointments.

Death & Destruction Everywhere in Haiti.........

The Swing........

How do you like to go up in a swing,
   Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
   Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall,
  Till I can see so wide,
River and trees and cattle and all
  Over the countryside--

Till I look down on the garden green,
  Down on the roof so brown--
Up in the air I go flying again,
  Up in the air and down!
                
                    author: Robert Louis Stevenson

I remember memorizing this poem back in grade
school and couldn't get it out of my head,
so I looked it up and thought I'd print it
for you to read and some of you will remember.

Treadmill.......

 A few years back, I noticed a good price on what I thought would be the perfect treadmill  to use during the winter months.  To my dismay I got exactly what I paid for, and wasn't happy with the outcome.  I would readily choose to buy one that had a motor, so that my ankles wouldn't be hurting from the strain.  I believe I would be able to utilize a good treadmill, at home when the winter is cold and icy.  Online shopping has helped make things much easier, when looking for quality and well as affordable prices.

Relationships........

I have found myself in several different relationships during my life.  Mostly, they were relationships, that ended in the wrong manner.  There were some friendships, that didn't make it very far.  Maybe they weren't friendships after all.  Either way, my experience with people hasn't been the greatest.  I tend to bring out the worst in people, with my frank way of living life.  I don't like liars, cheaters, and people who love to cause trouble.  To me this is just a waste of time, and it keeps people all upset and unhappy.  One thing I've tried to to is stay away from drama, and let those idiots run their heads into that brick way.  It's the only way for them to learn what's causing the problem..........sometimes, I believe there are certain people, who enjoy that way of life.........I don't. 
Therefore I have stayed back from having any type of relationships, due to those qualms.  It keeps me from being stressed, upset and in constant turmoil.  I can put up with me, but it's very hard to put up with someone else's crap. 

ADD

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) are two very common terms on the mind of parents these days. This is especially true if their child is having trouble in the classroom or getting into trouble. Some might say that ADHD and ADD is an over diagnosed problem that is a sign of the times where everyone is looking to assign blame to someone or something. This is especially troublesome because the treatment of ADHD and ADD is with stimulants that have a very real danger associated with them. One major problem that has recently surfaced as a result, is the abuse of these drugs for purposes other than the intended use. College students are buying them to help stay awake for long study sessions and test preparation. Kids are abusing the drugs at parties because in many ways drugs are easier to get than alcohol.
A big relief for many is the recent introduction of alternatives to drugs in the treatment of ADHD and ADD. One of the alternative solutions is called Neurofeedback, also known as EEG (Electroencephalogram) Biofeedback. Neurofeedback is a learning procedure that enables participants to improve mental performance, normalize behavior, and stabilize mood.
Neurofeedback is perhaps the biggest breakthrough in non-invasive medicine in the last 50 years.  The beneficial effects of EEG Biofeedback (Neurofeedback) Training are thought to be permanent. As brain wave training is actually a form of learning, once a person has learned how to control his brain wave patterns, he always knows how to do so. This is different than the on-going expense of treating ADHD and ADD with drugs.

Share Of Sadness.......

My sister, has had her share of sadness, in the last 6 months.  She has lost a dear friend, and now she may loose another one.  She was called yesterday, to the bedside of a friend, who has had very bad health for some time.  The woman, is presently on "lifesupport" and not considered to make it.  I truly hope that this won't send my sister back into the depth of  depression, she experienced when her other friend passed away.  Both of these people were a major part of my sister's life for several years.  This makes it even harder to accept, when they both are younger than you.

Reviews on Eyecreams.........

Down through the years I have had some of the worst dark circles under my eyes.  I tried one eye cream after another to maybe combat the situation.  It just didn't work, either that or I was too lazy to keep up the applications.   I don't know which way to turn and now that there's so many companies marketing beauty products it's not easy to decide on the best one. 
I am glad that there is a website, that has started posting reviews on certain eye creams.  It will be beneficial to the public to read what other people have to say about certain eye creams.  An Eye Cream Review  will give us a way to  see what others think and the pro's plus con's about the subjects. 
One website, is offering contests on eye creams and giving them away as a prize to the winner's.  I believe that is a great way to advertise a product with public involvement.  I'm sure that you would try a free beauty product, and give a review on how you felt the product performed on your skin.  I know that I would love to get some free cosmetics, and try them for a company.  This would make good advertisement and I would enjoy making the effort to establish a more youthful look around my eyes.  Eyecream.com is a good place to find the reviews on many different cosmetics.  Eye creams and anti aging products, are listed for you to research and try.  I consider this to be a good website with established clientele, that will offer the reviews I am looking to find.
At my age, finding beauty cosmetics that really work, is very important.  I will look around this website, even further to obtain more information about the latest serums and eye creams available.

New Year's........

Have you decided on a New Year's resolution, to make for this new year?  I know that I won't be able to keep it, so I don't even try.  Some people resolve to loose weight, others find different things to try.  I know that it's hard to maintain a good level of prosperity and still be able to keep up with all the other things..........

Fun Easy Way To Text.........

 I went to this site, and sent a message to a cell # and was responded to immediately.  I believe this is a much easier way to text, since I can use my computer to a Text4FreeOnline Free SMS Text Message 2Way
 and it be free.  I think this is a great option, and will be open to other suggestions, from this website.

I've Gotten Lazy.....

I worked all my life, and never saw much progress through the years.  It seemed that there was always something happen to take anything, I could accumulate.  No matter how hard I tried, my funds never seem to match the need.  I would work 2 jobs sometimes, and it still wouldn't get me where I needed to be.  Even if I was in a relationship, it was some the other person would do, that would keep us torn down.  I just got tired of everything, everybody and circumstances.  Now, that I have things going the way I want them, I find myself being lazy........because I can........
