It seems that my sisters and I all have problems with warts on our hands. My oldest sister just went to the doctor to have 14 warts treated on her hands. Bless her heart, what a mess that must be. I hope that the treatment works and she can not have to worry about warts again for a very long time.
The Medical Field
We have all heard that the medical field will always be in need for good qualified people and that people are flocking back to school in order to further their education and get into various medical fields. After all the classes and training are done and over with comes the interviewing process. That is part that always throws me for a loop, I just really suck at interviewing, so I’m glad that my employment is pretty stable and hopefully I won’t have to worry about interviewing any time soon.
I do know that the Internet can be a very valuable tool in this area. You can go online and find consultant interview questions to give you a clue on what you should be ready for, so that is a plus, we could all use a head’s up from time to time. There are sites that can provide you will a consultant interview course, like the ones being offered at Medicalinterviewsuk.co.uk. They offer their services online to anyone interested in a consultant medical interview and have a great consultant interview guide written by NHS Consultants.
I have an old family friend who moved to England several years ago and loves it. She is one of many that is trying to break into a new field due to the economy issues that are world wide. She found this site and included the link in her recent email to the family and friends that she keeps in contact with via email.
Help For Our Elderly Relatives
Each year my brothers and sisters put our heads together to try and find a way to help out our Aunt Jenny and Uncle Dave, who are both now in their 80’s and they both have several health issues to deal with while living on small monthly fixed income. We used to just send them food and/or gift cards for Christmas, but as the years pass we feel the need to do more than that when we all can afford and can agree on something.
You see Aunt Jenny and Uncle Dave are two of the sweetest people that you would ever have the chance to meet and to get to know. Thank goodness they have been active in their church, so they do receive some assistance from the church from time to time, but we all know how humble they are and how bad it makes them feel to receive any help from anyone. There is a special place in heaven for these too special, well seasoned relatives, but we are in no hurry to see them go.
I came up with an idea that I shared with my siblings lately. I took the time to look at various Home Cleaning Companies in Fort Lauderdale and I think I found the perfect one that we can afford to pay for to come out and help Aunt Jenny with all of their house cleaning needs. In the mean time I would like to find a company that will come out and help Uncle Dave with some of the chores that are always needed outside of the house and the yard. Just the thought of him trying climb and balance on a ladder to check and clean the gutters leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth. And of course there are tons of other outside chores that he just isn’t capable of doing anymore either. Maybe I can get my younger brother to help out in finding a good and affordable company to come out before the cold weather hits us.
Large Population Numbers
I find it very disturbing that there are so many people who have let themselves go and have become grossly over weight. No one can deny the fact that when out in public the amount of people that you come across need to loss weight, and I’m not talking about the folks that could take off 10 or 20 pounds, but more the likes of needing to get rid of 50 to 100 pounds of blubber, ugh….While listening to the local news last night, I heard a new story that tells us that the numbers are in, statistics are now showing that 2/3 of the U.S. population are over weight! That is a ridiculous number and if that isn’t a wake up call, I don’t know what is.
Locating The Right Raleigh Air Conditioning
We can only hope that the Raleigh air conditioning company that my sister contacted can come out quickly and get the job done in a timely fashion. This heat wave is getting totally unbearable for most of us, with no end in sight. My goodness it is only the middle of June and we are having extreme weather that is unhealthy for a good amount of folks around here. I can’t image not having air conditioning through this whole ordeal.
Since sis doesn’t know may people in the area that she just moved to she had to rely on the Internet to find someone to come to her rescue. It didn’t take long for her to find someone, I really hope it all works out well for all concerned.
Scrubs For The Summer
As you know I am looking for some new clothes to wear for the hot summer months. As much as I love summer, the heat is becoming harder and harder to tolerate, so it is getting harder to find clothes to wear that keep me cooler while still looking at least half way decent out in public. My sister just gave me a great idea about wearing some of the scrubs uniforms that so many of our medical people have been wearing and enjoying for years now. They are indeed coming out with some pretty cool scrub uniforms these days, so I’m taking her recommendation and have gone to blue sky scrubs website and ordered a couple sets of them to try out.
Of course I took advantage of the sets that they currently have on sale. The colors are all good colors for me to wear so it wasn’t a problem finding some that I think will do the trick quite nicely. I like that they have free returns and exchanges for all orders and that you can get free shipping with orders of $155 or more, which I just barely qualified for, but I did it!
Interesting Tick Removal Trick
Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the soap-soaked cotton ball and swab it for a few seconds (15-20), the tick will come out on its own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away. This technique has worked every time I’ve used it (and that was frequently), and it’s much less traumatic and easier for me. Unless someone is allergic to soap, I can’t see that this would be damaging in any way. I even had a nieghbor call me for advice because she had one stuck to her back and she couldn’t reach it with tweezers. She used this method and immediately called me back to say, ‘It worked!’
Please pass on. Everyone needs this helpful hint.
Jerky Dog Treats
Every once in a while a product that’s been on the shelves for a long time but never got your attention before will suddenly grab your attention and end up in your shopping cart. Sometimes it is placement on the store shelves that moves and you realize you are out of your routine. Sometimes it is new packaging, such as brighter colors on the box design or change from a box to a resealable bag. Sometimes it must be a mental response to a commercial or even subliminal advertising. Well, whatever the reason, today I noticed a bag of chicken jerky in the aisle for dog treats. It seemed to be a good sized bag with multiple treats inside, so I decided on a lark to buy a bag and see if my dog likes them. We haven’t broken into the bag yet but I’ll let you know if they are a hit or a miss.
No Nonsense Please……………..
Zenni Optical has been in business for quite some time. I know several people that have used them and have been very pleased with their service, their prices and their eye wear that they have to offer the general public. I guess the other retailers of eye wear have got their nose out of joint and are starting to come down on businesses like Zenni Optical who make it easier for us to afford and purchase all types of glasses at deep discounted prices.
There is no reason we should have to spend a ton of money to get eyeglasses that most of us end up having to wear at some point in our life time. Times are hard enough as it is, with the economy in the toilet and all. It really bugs me when businesses try and stick it to us with outrageous mark ups that they feel are justified. What a bunch of nonsense. It seems that now there are eye doctors that are not willing to provide their patients with the much needed information that is needed in order to order glasses. What a scam, I’m glad that my eye doctor wouldn’t dream of pulling that type of nonsense on his patients.
Creepy Spiders
Spider bites are becoming a problem with me around the house. They seem to be every where and I keep waking up in the morning to find new spider bites on my upper legs. It is creeping me out, those little critters are getting a bit to close to my business, if you know what I mean!
This is the time of the year that so many critters are known for creeping around. Guess I need to find some good spray to spray around the place.
