Easter Weekend

What are your plans for the Easter weekend?  Are you the one that really gets into the season, with all the fun and festivities?  Maybe your more the religious type, who lives in his or her world of passion, for their Christian beliefs.  If so, then your going to be doing something for Easter, as many people around the world have done for centuries.  Easter is all about the "Christ" and his efforts to save the world from sin.  The other realm, of Easter celebration, stems from making it fun for the children, while they are young.  Finding an Easter Egg, is exciting to a small child, and if it's the "prize" egg, that's even more fun.  Some families use this time to get together as a family and enjoy the time they have in life's cycles.

Exercise.....

Exercise has become a major part of the world's planned days.  They will go the the gym at least once a week, sometimes even more should their life allow it.  This is good for people who want to keep their bodies buff and looking good.  It is also great for people who have time on their hands and need to get out of the house.  Incorporating some exercise in your daily life, can help with your breathing as well as mobility.  It's a good thing to keep moving, especially during your aging years.  This can help your joints and keep them mobile.

Emergency Medical Assistance

When traveling away from home and your local EMT system, you can obtain a  medical assistance program that you can call for help, where ever you are.  I will set up a prepaid account for you and help you be prepared for any type of medical emergency should you need it while on vacation.

Morning Coffee

It's the waker upper, that gets you going in the mornings.  I would be lost without my coffee, and go through the day in a daze.  I've been drinking coffee since I was six years old and needing something to wake me up and get me going in the mornings.  Going to school was a daze for me anyway, I just didn't like to learn all that information.  I often wondered why those people were making me learn things I didn't want to learn?  I just wanted to be a child and play.  All the other stuff could be taken care of by the adults. 

What's Next.........

Tea Party member Paul Gruchala holds his sign during a rally marking the one-year anniversary of the movement in Troy, Michigan February 27, 2010. Some Tea Partiers say they can pinpoint the precise moment when they made it clear to the Republican Party they had no intention of being its lapdog. On a bright, brisk afternoon in mid-February, with snow still thick on the ground from storms that had battered Washington the week before, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele met with more than 50 members of the Tea Party, the Twitter Age conservative movement that is reshaping the U.S. political landscape.

Teenagers Skin

Doctor's and skin professionals have found new heights in treatments for acne.  Now they have also decided that making a hormonal acne treatment may be a good way to combat the situation.  We all know that the hormones, are going crazy during the teenage years, and that affects the skin's surface.  I had it, my children had it and now many of my grandchildren are affected by it.  More information can be found at the above link.

Lovely Weather

I am so ready for the "spring" to happen.  The weather has turned to being much warmer, with more sunshine in the last few weeks.  I really have a hard time dealing with rainy, dreary gloomy cloudy weather.  When the sun comes out, I feel so much better.  I think many others feel the same way, because you can see them smiling more.  They are like me and love to feel the warmth of the sun on their backs when sitting out of doors.  It's time to start that spring cleaning and planting.  Hey, I'm about ready!

Health Trends......

 The latest trends on health benefits, has gotten to the point of doing a colon cleanse to rid your body of harmful residue build up.  There are too many things going on in the health world for me to keep up with.  I thought about doing this from time to time, but haven't made the effort as yet.  I'm considering the fact that maybe there are too many health remedies on the market to spend your money on.  I found that there are at home natural things that you can do as well.

My family

It's a family like most and with it there are plenty of "ups" and "downs" to keep things going. I decided to have 5 children, and when things are really stirring up dust, I wonder what I was thinking. Still, there's time to sit around and just be lazy, after all the drama and trauma has subsided.
I still have my mother and sister who are the only one's left of my parenting sides of the family. There are some aunts and uncles on my dad's side but they weren't a involving part of my life. It's been a clueless trip, down my life's highway. I never knew from one day to the next what might happen. I still don't have a clue! Each day is a new day, with it's own experiences. Today, may bring new heights to my life or withdraw them. You just never know what to expect.
I haven't heard from 2 of my kids in weeks, but that par for them. They are too busy being street worthy and don't want me to know what they are doing. It's just as well, because I don't have money for that type of crap.
I talk to my daughter in law on the internet, daily and she keeps me up to date on the things in my oldest son's life, but the second son rarely checks in. He's got his own world to deal with and his step-mom hangs fairly close to him.
My youngest is in and out of my life weekly, with her stories of what's going on or her gripes of what's not going on. She can always find some type of drama to have, and I try to let her handle most of it, because I'm really not interested in that type of stuff.
Family, is something I have to deal with, when things happen. Otherwise I allow them to deal with things on their own, in order to grow up........Hopefully!

Energy Efficient.......

Reports say that certain amounts of pollution, are released into the atmosphere, daily through certain forms of processing that companies have and by our vehicles. The government is trying to get the message across that we are needing to be more green, with our ways of living. They are suggesting and even advocating the fact of using Energy saving appliances and other techniques to conserve our supplies of energy. They tell you how to remodel your homes and businesses in order to conserve energy.
I found that doing a few simple repairs, can help and give you the needed cut in your monthly bills. Like installing a tank less water heater, lowering your ceilings, installing insulation in your attic and walls or using those bulbs that are energy efficient. I’ve heard some pro’s and con’s of those type of light bulbs, but I suppose the government wouldn’t allow production or sales on such products if they were harmful. The reports are telling us to use certain home appliances which are set up to utilize the energy better and save you money in the long run. They also tell you how to remodel your homes and businesses in order to make them more energy efficient. Everything from using storm windows, to weather proofing you doors and windows that have cracks or spaces, where the foundation has shifted to conserve your home energy has been suggested. By recycling we can also aid in controlling the emissions of certain green house type gases that can cause our environment’s ozone layer to heat up.
If you are interested in getting an estimate on the things needed to upgrade your home or business you can contact a good company whose main object is to give you good customer service. Information can be obtained by clicking on the above link or contacting the company by phone.

My Hoodie......

While at the Red Cross, volunteering yesterday, I heard my supervisor rummaging around in one of the supply cabinets.  Looking up I noticed that she was inspecting the supply of hooded jackets with the Red Cross emblem on the front.  Picking one up she asked me if it was a size that was too big for me?  Surprised I told her that I could take it and wash it in hot water, and cause it to shrink.  So, she hands it to me and tells me there it is if I want it.  So, now I'm showing it off, cause I still having fun being a Red Cross volunteer.......

Effects of Aging.....

If you live long enough, you will encounter the effects of aging.  It's a time tested process that takes it's toll on our bodies and skin.  If you are interested in finding ways to combat the skin problems, that wind, sun and aging bring on, the I suggest you contact a health professional about a good  anti wrinkle cream  to help ease the effects.  There are many different products on the market to help with this problem.  For more information about getting help, click on the above link.

A Stroke.......

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted or when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or bursts.
Hundreds of thousands of others are left with long-term disabilities. The result is death for 144,000 people each year.  Stroke is the number three killer in the United States, affecting almost 800,000 people each year.  Many other factors, both controllable and uncontrollable play a role in your risk factors.  For more information, contact your doctor or make an appointment to get a checkup.

Bad Acne

 When I was growing up, we only had one type of cream, we could buy to use on our acne out breaks.  We often tried other remedies, including astringents and such.  Today's world looks for  natural remedies for acne
 and I'm sure they can find a few.  I wish things were more sufficient back during my teenage years.  I wouldn't have the horrible scars I now have, on my nose and cheeks.  It's a new world of health in today's life and it's just beginning.

Children........

Have you noticed that some families, just can't make it through the life cycle, without at least one child who turns out to be a problem?  It seems there has to be this syndrome, of good and bad, which gives some children the need to act out on a daily basis.  I've noticed that some parents aren't involved in parenting the way they should be and the children make this effort to get their attention.  Getting attention the wrong way, makes for a bad situation for all.  You may end up in court because of it, or in counseling which becomes very expensive, whichever the route that occurs.  I truly believe that the old way of raising a child, was the best and you can take that to the bank.

Government Real Estate Stimulus

 Have you heard about the real estate stimulus  made available by the government?  This is considered to be the best time to buy a home, and if you are already buying one the credit is still at least $6500, so you have a vested interest in this year's tax credits.  It looks as if 1st time buyers are going to get a good deal with the way the tax credits are being supplied.  The deal on a new home loan must be handled by April 2010 and the loan closed on by June 2010.  This lets the government have the availability to handled this set of tax credits in the same year efficiently.  
I'm sure there are other benefits for families, who are investing in a new home, but there are other means of information that I'm not aware of at the present.  This video gives you the basic's  of the government established tax credits for first time owners.  They also give the "moving on up" incentive to homeowner's whose homes are under worth under $800,000.  I've never been able to afford a home that expensive, and so I suppose I wouldn't be in that group.  This effort by the government to establish a more lucrative economy, is something that can work, but must be implemented in order to gain the necessary strength our economy needs.
 

1st Time Around.........

I can remember my 1st pregnancy and what all I felt during the time I carried my son.  Yes, it was a boy and my husband was very happy.  I asked him what he wanted to name the child if it was a boy, and he said he didn't care, as long as the baby was healthy.  You see, back in those days the doctor's didn't advocate having a sono gram to find out the baby's gender.  It was a fairly new product on the markets and they were still in the learning modes.  Most of the time we mother's just made sure that we got colors, that would go with a boy or a girl.  So, there was a lot of yellows and greens, plus mostly gowns and diaper shirts with matching rubber lined pants.  Oh, and we had cloth diapers, with diaper pins, powder and a wash cloth..........no baby wipes, or disposable diapers.  Yes, those were the days..........!

You & Your Baby..........

It's a very stressful time on both the mother and the fetus during the nine months that they interact.  The baby drains the mother's body of needed vitamins and minerals along with the nutrients needed for it to form properly before birth.  Some doctor's will prescribe prenatal multivitamins to help the mother keep fit and healthy during the nine months of pregnancy.  For more information on obtaining these products, click on the above link.

972-BABY DUE

I was driving behind a car today, that had this sticker on it bumper.  It was giving encouragement to girls and women who have unwanted pregnancies, and are confused as what they should do.  I do hope that this is "NOT" an abortion clinic, but someplace that can give assistance to the girls and help them find a way to take care of their problem.  Many families are looking to adopt a child, and if the women, can't find a way to keep their babies, then this would be the best option.
If this telephone number is for an abortion clinic, then I'm very sorry, because I do not back this type of organization.

Cheaper Eyeglasses

I was surfing the internet the other day and ran into Eric's Review of Zenni Optical .  He was talking about this place where you can get cheap eyeglasses  with really great styles available to choose from.  It seems that this company will take your prescription, and produce quality eye wear, in a matter of a few days.  They say that you should have your ready to wear glasses back within a week or so after your order has been made and approved. Zenni Optical offers some of the  Lowest Price Progressive Glasses for your prescriptions, and you can get them at affordable prices, along with sunglasses as well.  With all the trendy styles and frames, I wonder if I'll ever shop at a regular optical store again?

This website offers the #1 online Rx glasses store , and you can get bifocals as well, for a little more than regular lens. Now you can replace those broken or lost glasses, much easier than before. Zenni Optical has grabbed my attention and I'm sure that if you look around the website, you will find many styles and frames to suit your wardrobe and lifestyle. Find out how you can start spending smart and  think of the money you can save when buying for those clumsy school children in your family. You can get several backup glasses, in case they loose them or break them.

Volunteering..........

I have been going to my local Chapter and volunteering 1 or 2 days a week to support our "Red Cross" in their efforts to help people in need.  I felt the need to be learned, so I have been taking several courses and getting certified in those areas.  This will give me an advantage, when attempting to handling situations that will arise during a disaster.

Red Cross

I finally got my shirt in "Logistics" and my supervisor gave me this a nice blanket with the emblem on it........I'm finally official........

On Tuesday, Mrs. Obama plans to publicly donate the gown to the first ladies collection at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.
The Smithsonian Institution says all first ladies since 1912 have contributed to the collection, though not all have parted with their ball gowns. Mrs. Obama's gown will join those currently on display from Helen Taft, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosalynn Carter and Laura Bush.

Today's world is moving fast and we need to grab the gusto while we can.  The markets are watching the gold starting to rise, once again.  Gold and Platinum have been a good sources of metal to stockpile during times of recession.  Down through the years the best way I’ve found to have assets available, was to buy expensive jewelry or invest in coins or ingots. 
If you deal in precious metals then gold coins are just what you are looking for these days. I checked out a site that has been in business for quite awhile now. They deal in precious metals and have a good supply of rare coins on hand.  You can buy gold coins from these dealers and have them delivered to your bank or institution according to your specifications.  I like to shop around when investing for the different types of coins.  This is where representatives can help you build a world class rare coin portfolio, for less expense.

Red Cross Training.......

I've been 2 months into my "Red Cross", exposure.  I was overwhelmed at first, with all the things they were trying to get me involved in.  Since I pulled back and slowly eased my way back in their facilities, I have been more at peace with the way things are evolving.

I have started working 1 or 2 days a week in the offices, and have already taken my driving test to be able to drive one of the ERV's to a scene, should a disaster occur in our area.  I have set up more training for the coming month that will help me get more involved in the work I'm doing. 

So, far it's been a nice laid back setting, and I haven't been on an "emergency response" as yet.  I'm sure things will be more dire, when my time comes to take part in my first scene.  Right now I'm making sure that they don't move me too fast and overwhelm me once again with all the different needs, the "Red Cross" has for people to do.

"Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in."

Looking for a Home........

 I know you've said it many times.  I wish I could buy a home, that I could have for my very own.  It's a common thing for a family to want a home and when they start looking the information is overwhelming.  Looking for the right home, takes time and effort.  You have an idea of what you will be looking to buy but, can always adjust your expectations.  The best thing to do is find a qualified real estate agent with plenty of good backing and references.  There are many agencies listed in the phone directory and you must try not to grab the first one you see available. 
Whether your looking to invest in a home or business property you will find that the market is saturated at the present.  The economy made an overflow of properties and housing available, because of foreclosures from people loosing their incomes.  It's a good time to find exactly the type, quality and reasonable price to suit your finances. 
Should you be interested in property in Canada, then I suggest contacting a local real estate agent for that area.  If your wanting a nice place in the Ontario area  Ontario Real Estate Agents   will have plenty of sites to show you. You can go online and put your information in their search bar, hit enter and find many qualified agents ready to assist you.  The properties are limitless and your sure to find exactly the one for your investment.

Families Getting Help........

Earthquake survivors live outside their homes damaged by a major earthquake and ensuing tsunami in Constitucion, March 3, 2010. Four days after the 8.8-magnitude earthquake killed around 800 people in south-central Chile, rescue crews with sniffer dogs fanned out around Chile's ravaged cities and villages, searching for survivors inside the mountains of rubble, while police and troops have managed to quell looting and violence in the largest cities.
