Beauty Salon Equipment Supplies By Elegans

Next week will be a great week if the weather could only cooperate a bit more. The kids will be out of school for their spring break and we are all piling into the car and heading down to North Carolina to spend some time with Judy and her kids. Judy and I have been very close friends since the fourth grade. Even though she moved down south, an eight hour drive from here, we have managed to keep in close contact with each other using our cell phones and of course there is always email and Facebook that we can rely on to communicate with each other.

Judy is in the process of opening up her own beauty salon. It will be good to be right there with her to get a good look at all of the things that she has been telling me about. Finding the right beauty equipment for sale has been a challenge for her. She is lucky that her mother lives less than 5 miles away and used to work as a beautician before they moved down there. I have always been envious of their close mother/daughter relationship. My mother and I rarely talk. I can’t imagine my mother just randomly coming over to the house and just hang out for the day. With her it still requires an invitation and it takes hours to get the place cleaned up before she is scheduled to arrive.

Anyway it looks like she has decided on the salon equipment sydney that she found online with the link that I found and sent her a few weeks ago. That makes me feel good to have been able to contribute to her new goal, even living so far away from each other. Watch out North Carolina, here we come!

For The Greater Good

Had to get up even earlier today to take our three year old male Pug into town and drop him off at the Humane Society so that they could transport him and approximately 38 other house pets (cats and dogs) to have them spayed or neutered. My heart broke having to leave him there in his old crate, out in the cold. He is an inside dog and doesn’t like anything to do with a crate. He actually peed on it when I got it out of the basement and put it in the living room to clean up a few days before using it.

I didn’t know that it was going to be an over night job, so I am spending tonight feeling like my best friend has gone away. I hope that I sleep all right tonight, he is always right on my feet or in the crook of my back. It is going to be a cold, long night. I really didn’t think I’d miss him this much. But I know that it is for the greater good to have this done and over with once and for all. I wonder if this will change his personality, or if he will put on weight, or just how exactly this will effect him.

His New Scooter!

My next door neighbor looks so spiffy riding up and down his driveway and the sidewalk on his new scooter that he just purchased. This guy is a real character, a good guy and a wonderful neighbor who has been having issues getting around for the past few years, so I’m glad to see him able to get out and about in the nice weather these past couple of days.

A good neighbor is hard to find, I have been blessed with him since I moved into my place, we get along real well and help each other out now and then when needed and able. We have spent many hours sitting outside, either on my porch or his, just chatting away. I love hearing his stories of the “good old days” and he is a good listener, which is hard to find in folks now a days.

My other neighbor is a real pain, but that issue can and will be discussed at a later time…….

Combonation Pain Relief With Electric Impulses

My mother asked me to Visit LGMedSupply Online and what I can find out about the Combo TENS Unit and Muscle Stimulator that my father has decided to purchase this type of electric impulse pain relief product. His back has been bothering him, big time, for the past couple of years and his doctor just keeps trying to get my father to take narcotics and participate in some therapy. Of course Dad wants nothing to do with either suggestion right now and he is getting grumpier and grumpier which effects everyone in numerous ways, especially my mother!

However, he has consented in trying this combination unit that allows you to receive relief with a double whammy.  This is something that he can do when he needs and wants to do it, having total control over the situation. He has always been a “control freak” so this might just be what we all have been looking and waiting for.

So far I have taken a quick peep at the site and managed to read their online customer blog on YouTube which was well made and interesting. I have been having a hard time posting videos here on my blog. I hope that this one will come through alright, I miss being able to share videos on here.

So far I am impressed with what I see on this medical supply site. I will be over at their house in the next day or two and will talk to both of them and share my thoughts with them at that time. It’s a busy time of the year, but a persons health is the most important thing, ever.

On My Soap Box for Just a Moment

I was always taught that with everything in this world that has good, there is always a bad and vice verse. The holidays are filled with such wonderful things, family, friends, good food and course all the good gifts and presents that are given and received. It is unfortunate that people do turn to drinking alcoholic beverages this time of year and that presents problems with holiday drinking and driving.

Each year we hear how they are catching so many people drinking and driving and lives are lost due to that. Christmas is no time to loose someone due to some one’s carelessness. By getting a DUI is bad news all the way around. I know several people that still don’t have their license, because of getting caught drinking and driving. It can cost you a boat load of money, jail time and then having to find high risk drivers insurance to boot.

So I’m hoping that people will drink responsibly and that we can all enjoy a fun but safe holiday this year. With all the snow still on the ground people need to stay off the bottle, stay off the cell phone and pay full attention to the road up ahead. I’ll get off my soap box now.

Really Green PRS Custom 24 Flame Electric Guitar

Although I am not one bit crazy about the weird green color of this good prs custom 24 flame electric guitar, I am happy with the price that I came up with. I’m just grateful that it isn’t me paying for it and that I just had to do the leg-work to find the darned thing and send the link to my parents so that they can get a better look at it and decide if they are really going to buy it for my pain-in-the-butt little brother Eric, who always has been spoiled rotten ever since the day he was brought into this world.

You see my dad really wanted a son and after having 3 girls in a row he was so happy to finally spawn a son that he totally went nuts and just spoiled the brat something fierce and still does. So I’m sure that they won’t think too hard about spending the just under $3,000 price tag that is attached to this particular electric guitar. Me, I’d rather spend that kind of money on a car or something that I really need. I’m sure that after a few months Eric will be tired of his new toy and it will end up under his bed or in the closet with all of his other stuff that he receives and gets bored with so quickly. My mom blames it on his ADHD but he isn’t fooling us girls any, he is just a spoiled brat, plain and simple.

A Good Quality Raleigh Cleaning Service

Spending some time online looking at gift options for my sister. I think she would really appreciate a raleigh cleaning service that would come into her house and get it a good cleaning, from top to bottom. She has been very overwhelmed with the new baby and her two and a half year old, which isn’t allowing her the time that she needs to get everything done that normally she would be right on top of.

The Other Woman, Inc sounds like they would be the perfect fit for what sis needs and wants. I have heard about The Other Woman from other people and they all seem to be satisfied with them. Word of mouth is still the best way of advertising, with the Internet falling right on it’s heels. I hope that this gift from me to her will make her Christmas a good one and that we have many more Christmas holidays ahead of us all.

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……….

Zenni Optical Online

I love how the Internet makes it possible to research products and compare prices, at my convenience and letting my fingers do the walking on my lap top’s keyboard. I just got back from the eye doctor and it seems that I need new eyeglasses. Not just any type of eyeglasses mind you but bifocals, ugh……………In my mind I’m way too young to be needing bifocals, but the doctor knows best, right?

With money being so tight I was leery of going next door and purchasing my new glasses at the optical store which is so conveniently located right next store to his office. I wanted a chance to do some comparison shopping to see what types of deals I could find on my own. I’ve heard good things about Zenni Optical so I took some time this afternoon during my break at work and checked them out. When I Googled Zenni Optical I found an article that enlightened me about Zenni Optical. Did you know that they start their eyeglasses at $8.00, now how cool is that to be able to get good quality glasses at a nice low price? I’ll let you know how it all pans out and I might even post a picture of me with my new glasses on…………………….

Ditching the Carbonated Beverages

My dentist has just told me that I need to quit drinking sodas or that I will start having serious problems with tooth decay. I’ve been drinking Pepsi my whole life and that is my beverage of choice in the morning to start my day – instead of coffee or tea.I am pretty bummed out right now.

I like my morning Pepsi so much that I am a complete grouch if someone drinks the last Pepsi and leaves me without one in the morning when I wake up. The last time that happened I went postal on the whole family and threw such a fit that I can pretty much guarantee that will never happen again. But, just in case, I keep a bottle of Pepsi in my nightstand drawer as a backup.

But now my dentist says that the sugary drinks that I’ve enjoyed my whole life have been eroding the enamel on my teeth. He says that I am facing root canals in every molar is I don’t start taking better care of my teeth and also change my diet. That is pretty scary – I had one root canal already and it was not fun. Plus, root canals cost a whole lot of money that I don’t want to spend on my teeth if I can help it.

So, regretfully, I am no longer ordering a carbonated beverage with my lunch or dinner. I will be drinking either tea, lemonade or just water. I can’t stand to drink milk, so that’s out. But I will not give up my morning Pepsi. I hope that dropping sodas from the rest of my days and nights will be enough sacrifice to put off dealing with root canals.
