Home Schooling

More and more people are turning to home schooling their children for various reasons these days. I know several good folks that are taking their time to make sure that their kids get the right education that meets their requirements and satisfaction, it isn’t always about religion any more. I know back in my day the only people that were home schooled were being kept out of public schools for religious reasons and most people just didn’t understand that concept.

And now there is the Internet available for people to use to help home schoolers with all kinds of subjects and courses. I ran into co worker today that was busy printing out some adding fractions worksheets that she found online to give to her sister who is homeschooling her three kids. I didn’t give her any grief for using the copier, it’s to help with these kids education and who could possibly have an issue with that.

Box Tops for Education Program

It is so easy to clip the Box Tops for Education coupons that are being put on more and more food items, I even found some on the package of toilet paper that I just recently purchased. Schools are desperate for funding, and this is a really easy way to raise money for our important education systems all over.

I think schools can earn 10 cents per label and that adds up quickly with the more people that participate. If you don’t have kids attending a school you can still clip them and give them to a friend, family member, neighbor, co worker or just drop them off at your local school that is convenient for you, it’s all good, and some teachers give extra credit for each label donated, it’s all good!

Important Stem Cell News – Re Posted

I remember reading this article, can’t believe it has been six years since this was announced. I thought enough of this information to post it here on May 1, 2009 and am still excited about it and wanted to re-post it today.

Press Release:
Taking Control: Future Therapies for a Host of Serious Diseases May Be Found in Women’s Menstrual Blood July 07, 2008: 01:28 PM EST

OLDSMAR, Fla., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ – With today’s hectic lifestyle, where most women are juggling careers, family, relationships, and a host of activities, the idea of possibly facing a serious illness in the future is not something that readily comes to mind – especially when a woman is in the prime of her life. But what most women don’t know, is that the key to treating a number of possibly life-threatening diseases that she, a parent, a sibling or even her children may face in later years, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, blood clots, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, may be found within her own body – in vital stem cells, which can now be harvested from her own menstrual blood.

Now, thanks to the revolutionary research and technology of C’elle, a service dedicated to providing women with a safe and easy method of collecting and preserving stem cells found in her menstrual fluid each month, even the busiest woman can take control of her future, right in the privacy of her own home. With C’elle’s non-invasive collection process, menstrual cells are processed and cryo-preserved (stored at a very low temperature) for potential cellular therapies that may be used in the future. These self-renewing cells one day may even be used for sports medicine or cosmeceutical treatments, such as anti-aging therapies.

“C’elle enables and empowers a woman to take control of her future health, and possibly of those genetically closest to her, in a fast, painless and stress free way,” said Michelle Kay, Marketing and Sales Manager for C’elle. “We live in exciting times, as science and technology are discovering how extremely valuable menstrual blood stem cells really are, and the enormous treatment potential they represent for future therapies. C’elle’s ongoing research is supporting these promising findings.”

One Hell of A Good Book

I love reading a variety of books. It seems that I usually have 2 or 3 going at the same time, it works out most of the time. I always keep a good novel in the bathroom. When I take my bath I kick back and get some good reading time out of the deal as well.

I just finished a novel “Up Country” by Nelson DeMille, who also wrote “The General’s Daughter” which I really need to find now. This was a great book about Vietnam Vets that anyone would and should enjoy reading at some point.

Fender Jazzmaster 62

Hard to believe that there is much difference between one guitar pickguard or another, but after looking at this fender jazzmaster 62 tortoiseshell pickguard online at Guitar Center’s website I feel a bit more educated on the subject. I’m sorry but I have never gotten into playing the guitar, or any musical instrument for that matter. Making music just wasn’t in the cards for me, nor is singing or even able to carry a tune. For me it has always been about the dance. Poetry in motion has always been my motto!

Fender ’62 Jazzmaster Tortoiseshell Pickguard

I am trying to be pro active and getting a bit of holiday shopping before it gets all too overwhelming for me and I start to panic. The holidays are always stressful for me, so many people to buy gifts for and so many people to try and make happy all in the name of Santa Claus!

Girl Games, A Long Time A Coming

I’m so glad that they have finally come up with more girl games. For the longest time most of the video games were targeted to the male species and a big push was made to make more girl games available. It took a while but it is now obvious when you look on the shelves at the gaming stores.

I took my niece out to the local Game Stop store last weekend. She had received numerous gift cards from Game Stop, by her request of course and wanted to go purchase some new games for her Wii. I enjoy taking her out shopping, I don’t rush her and she is relaxed and has a chance to take it all in and make wise decisions. When she goes with her mother it is rush rush and let’s keep it moving, which isn’t fun at all when there is so much to take in, ya know.

Not only are there more video girl games, but there are a lot more girl games online these days as well such as are offered at easygirlgames dot com. My niece is the perfect ages for most of the games. She will be turning 10 next month and is still into Barbies, Unicorns and Bratz, big time. Hard to imagine that she will be a teen-ager in a few short years and who knows how that will all play out!

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.

My Little Brother

I’ve never had an issue coming up with ways on how to flirt, but I know that a lot of folks are very shy and insecure so they need a little help with some dating advice and tips when it comes to the other sex. I’ve found a pretty cool website Puaforums dot com that has a lot of good information about the dating scene, along with a ton of wonderful pick up lines that people have submitted for others to use in their endeavor to attract a mate.

My little brother has always been one heck of a pickup artist, how I’ll never know. To me he is still the spoiled little brat that I grew up with, but the ladies just seem to flock to him. I’ve seen him in action and it’s amazing! He is still single and loving the bachelor life even though he is almost 30 years old. But if that is what floats his boat, I say more power to you little brother! I’ve forwarded this entertaining and enlightening website to him in last night’s email to him, I don’t think he needs any help, but what the heck.

My Kid Brother, The Family Computer Geek Strikes Again!

Even though I spend a good amount on the computer, both at home and at work, I always find myself amazed at all that their is to learn about them and how little I actually know about them. Thank goodness for my kid brother. He is the family computer geek and keeps us all up and running and is always teaching us (or trying to) the different things that he has learned. It just comes natural for him and I can’t say enough good things about all he does for us all.

Virtual Servers are something that I just didn’t know anything about, until he came by the place over the week end. I fed him a nice dinner, we sat and chatted for a few hours and had a few cold beers together. It was the first time that he didn’t spend any time on my laptop doing something for me, so it was good just to be able to sit and talk with him for a change. Usually he is so busy on the computer, concentrating on what he is doing, so I just leave him alone so as not to distract him, so he can get it done and get down the road to his next stop.

He had just come from a friends house that was needing a virtual server, so he was telling me how at Ozhosting dot com they are running a special promotion using the PROMO CODE “VPS25” which provides 25% off All VPS Plans and how they were checking out all that they had to offer by ways of virtual servers. So I got a crash course and he got a 2 course dinner and we both came out of the deal better off than before he came over.

Wood Vionlins Wood Wah

Call me old fashioned, but I swear I didn’t know there was such a thing as electric violin, much less all the exciting wood-violins effects that I was checking out online earlier today to use as a birthday gift for a party that is coming up soon. So many new things that I keep discovering, makes me wonder what rock I have been hiding under. Good Grief!
