Immigration

We got the news that our good friend Jimmy passed away last night. The whole community will miss all that he did for the immigrates in various neighborhoods around town that are mainly occupied by Latinos. He was a great friend with a big heart that brought a lot of business to the immigration attorney right downtown. We had the pleasure of going to several meetings and learned so much about the immigration issues that we are all concerned about and are effected by.

I am sure that when they get the whole situation under control and announce what type of service will be held that there will be larger than normal crowd attending. I wouldn’t expect anything less for Jimmy.

Mesothelioma

The first time I had ever heard of Mesothelioma was at work, back some ten years or so. One of the girls that I work with came in to work all freaked out and upset because her cousin had just been diagnosed with Mesothelioma. We all got an education from her about this horrible type of cancer that is becoming a major concern for so many people.

These days the TV is full of attorneys that are advertising their specialities in the Mesothelioma Cancer area. I can only pray that this gal’s family found themselves a good Florida Mesothelioma Lawyer to help them with their expenses due to this type of cancer. It seems that her cousin was in the Navy in Vietnam and contacted this disease while on one of their submarines. Now how crazy is that? Apparently the subs had asbestos in them and now a good amount of our veterans are suffering from Mesothelioma, what a total bummer.

I’m glad that we have the Internet to turn to for information that we need for things just such as this. The more you know and the better informed you are the better it is all the way around. I hope that they start finding cures for all these types of cancer that we keep discovering that killing us off each and every day.

Peace Out……….

Rain Guards & Wind Deflectors

I can’t tell you how many times I have been driving down the road and the rains start coming down, and hard. That is when you see all the motorcycles pulling off of the road and waiting under a bridge or an over pass waiting for the down pour to end so that they can get back on their bikes and hit the road once again. I’ve been caught in the rain while on the back of a motorcycle and it can suck all the fun right out of a nice ride, whether you are driving are riding on the back.

Even in a car, the rain can certainly make driving a major challenge. I know that there are wind deflectors and rain guards available out there and I’m going to start looking into purchasing one for my only is spring a rainy season, but we have a lot of rain in the fall as well and I’m tired of dealing with it.

My brother-in-law is urging me to visit carid.com, which has been in business since 2003 and he has used them frequently. They specialize in custom and OEM car accessories and offer there products for interior and exterior custom styling for performance and your comfort.

I’ve never much been into the customizing of any my vehicles, but my brother-in-law is all about cars, motorcycles and trucks and he knows what he is doing and talking about. So I have asked him to check out the best rain guard for my vehicle and see what he can come up with for me and soon. Next thing you know winter will be here and then we have to deal with snow and all that goes along with that nonsense. I just want to get fall over and done with at this point.

Tools and Their Accessories

Well considering that I really don’t know all that much about the many tools that are available to us these days. I do have a nice, well stocked toolbox, but it only contains the basics that are usually found in a toolbox with nothing fancy or expensive about it. So when I was asked to go online and find reid supply vise accessories I really didn’t know what it was that I was looking for.

It didn’t take much time to find these vise accessories on their friend user website and they were easy enough to order. They should be here by next week and I’m anxious to see if I actually ordered the right ones. If not I know that they have user friendly return and exchange policies that I can always turn to. But hopefully I will have gotten it right the first time around.

I’m a “Big-Baby” Adult and I’m Proud of It

I am a college-educated 25-year-old who puts in a 50-hour work week and volunteers with a domestic violence hotline on weekends. Ask anyone who even remotely knows me and they will tell you that I am a big kid at heart, however. Life is way too short to be taken too seriously. When I am home, I unabashedly cast off my professional persona and revert back to a simpler, more innocent time.

The little time I do get to myself is, more often than not, spent in my living room, laying on my leather couch, watching children’s television programs. I sure do love me some Sponge Bob Square Pants. That Patrick Star always manages to make me chuckle and I just love Sandy Squirrel’s overdone southern accent. I could write a tome on how I consider the show more for “big-baby” adults than for the child audience for witch the show is truly intended.

Sponge Bob Square Pants is not the only program I adore. Thanks to the satellite i got after seeing this Direct TV Satellite Comparison, I have a plethora of options at my fingertips. South Park is a riot and the Boondocks is a welcome late-night distraction. I think everyone should indulge the child with in from time-to-time.
