Web Hostings

I was doing some looking around online this afternoon at work. Most of us had a few minutes to spare before heading out into the rush hour traffic so it’s time like this that we take advantage of having Internet access at our desks. The topic of conversation lately has been web hosting. I had no idea that there were so many web hosting companies offering so many varieties of options. One of the girls at work discovered that there are several webhosting sites that are going green, which we all thought was pretty cool, so we checked them out real quick like.

There is a great web site that has ratings and reviews of various webhostings at webhostingrating dot com. It really has a lot of good information that we have all enjoyed and learned from. When we get our teeth into something we really chew on it for a good long while until we spit it out to be done with it and we have just about worn this subject out at this point. But I am going to look at a few more options and I want to read some more of the reviews and then we can move on to another subject for next week. Lord knows what that will be!

IED Up Close

It is truly amazing that more of our soldiers weren’t getting hit and hurt by these things. My best friends son is serving in the Army and sent her this video and she sent it to me. Amazing, truly. God Bless each and every one of them that are serving their country for you and me.

The Nopal Cactus

It is amazing to notice that the older I get, everyone gets older as well. I know that sounds silly but with age seems to come so many health issues and unfortunate deaths from so many people in my life. At work we seem to always be discussing and researching so many medical issues that keep popping up in our immediate and not so immediate families and circle of friends. And with all of these medical issues always landing in our laps we are constantly trying to figure out and understand what types of medicine and therapy can help.

Right now we seem to be hearing a lot about a product called Nopalea which is supposed to help reduce inflammation which is a main concern with so many health related issues. One of my co workers found that by calling 1-800-203-7063 you can receive a free sample of this natural health product that is becoming so popular today which is derived from a cactus. Pretty cool huh?

Since my father suffers from aches and pains in several of his joints that keep him from doing a lot of things that he used to enjoy doing, I’m going to go ahead a call and have a sample of these wellness drink sent to him and see if it helps him some. It’s the least I can do for the man that has always done so much for me all my life.

My Mother’s Buying List

I have always wanted a nice set of Hartmann Luggage or the ever popular Vera Bradley Luggage that looks so good on the luggage carousel at the airports at the end of the trip. Or at least if you are lucky enough to have your luggage arrive along with your arrival. I’ve never had my luggage lost before but I’ve heard some horror stories from folks that have had to deal with all the hassles and inconvenience of an airline losing your precious belongings that were being stored in your Luggage.

As I stated before I’ve always wanted to own a nice set of luggage and my mother is trying to make that happen for me for my birthday that is fast approaching this winter. My mother is expecting a nice sized tax refund from Uncle Sam next year and wants to purchase a few things that she has had her heart on for the past year. I’m just lucky enough to be on her buying list this year!

Of course I’m sure that if she finds herself in need of some nice luggage she can always count on being able to borrow mine any time she needs it. That is a plus!

Anyone remember this commercial. It took less than 3 minutes to find it on YouTube! It still makes me laugh even after all these years of not seeing it at all.

Fashion Show – Victoria’s Secret Style

More women than you would think watch the annual Victoria Secret Fashion Show that has become so very popular now a days. I have always enjoyed watching it when I can and I did manage to watch it just the other night and I have to tell you that each year some how, they seem to top the previous year’s, and this year was no different, it was truly brilliantly done.

Our local mall here has one of their retail stores, but their prices are just so darn high most of the time, although each year they do have a really good sale, I hope that I have a few bucks in my pocket come next month and I have to pay attention and see when the sale hits.

LOL At A Short Love Story

honeymoon is over — Strangers In The Night

SHORT LOVE STORY

There is a man and a woman who had never met before, but who were both married to other people, they found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a trans-continental train.

Though they wereboth initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower.

Around 1:00 AM , the man leaned down and gently woke up the woman saying,………. ‘Ma’am, I’m sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I’m awfully cold.’

‘I have a better idea,’ she replied ‘Just for tonight,…… let’s pretend that we’re married.’

‘Wow!………………….. That’s a great idea!’, he exclaimed.

‘Good,’ she replied. ………….’Get your own f….g blanket.’

Then after a moment of silence, he farted.

The End

Friends from Junior High School Days

I have a girlfriend that I have known since Junior High School, and she and her husband moved to Denver Colorado a few years back and I have been meaning to visit them and we think that it is time to plan such a visit. They both work at the same company which is a Heating and Air Conditioning company by the name of Lucky Duct that also does duct work also, by the way, which is something that he has done all of his life, after leaving the army back in the 70’s. While she is the office manager and does a variety of things that keep them both busy, especially since he is a technician that is on call 24/7.

I keep in constant contact with my old friend through weekly emails and we talk on the phone at least once a month, they are good people and I’m glad that I have such a wonderful long time friend. In her last email she sent the link to Lucky Duct where you can see all of the services that this female owned business offers, which is so much more than air conditioning & air duct cleaning as you will see.

Sandwiches

I was in the mood for a sandwich earlier but I couldn’t find anything that tickled my fancy. Then it dawned on me that as a kid I used to really love peanut butter and honey sandwiches and I had both foods in my cabinet. It was a darn good sandwich, one that made my tummy happy and brought back some good memories. Not to mention that all of the ingredients are healthy! That’s a nice bonus!

Our Flag

It does my heart good to see so many people sporting the Confederate Flag on their vehicles as well as on their homes and property. I can’t for the life of me understand what all the hoopla is about the Confederate flag. I have a large Confederate flag myself but since I rent an apartment I can’t install it, which makes me very sad.

There are tons of places that are selling all types of flags to be used on a vehicle but I am afraid that if I ordered one and put it on my car that someone would get angry and try and hurt me and/or my car. I can just see it now, I come strolling out of Walmart to find my tires slashed or any of all the other ways someone can damage a car while no one is looking.
