Betty Be Blogging!
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.
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!
Weird how some things get passed down through the generations and some things don’t. I come from a family that is over flowing with musical talent of some type. There are singers and dancers galore, as well as many types of musical instrument being playing played all year through, while I can’t do any of the above. If I start to sing, people start leaving as soon as possible. I had piano lessons while I was a kid. The lady next door was my teacher, she was a great piano playing and a a good friend to my mother. But no mater how hard and long as I practiced I just never got the hang up if and I insisted that I don’t want any more lessons, ever.
One major trait that I did inherit is hair and lots of it. Hair everywhere in the usual places and more. I remember riding the bus in elementary school and the kids started calling me gorilla arms. I can’t tell you how embarrassing that was. I took it as long as I could but then I just plain had enough of it and came home, found my mothers razor and shaved both of my arms and have continued doing that for the rest of my life. Up until now that is.
There are so many products out there to help with people that have extreme hair issues and I’m ready to start looking at them. I’m tired of shaving my arms every day. It’s bad enough to have to shave my legs and arm pits almost every day. So I have been looking into purchasing an epilator to do the job. For the past week or so I have been looking online and have found a great site that gives us epilator reviews and guides that has been very helpful. If I am going to dive in and give one of these epilators a try I want to make sure that I am buying the right one and paying the right price for it as well.
This particular one is listed as an Emjoi AP-18 Emagine 72 Tweezer Head Epilator. It isn’t cheap but I think it just might be the right one for me. I think I will go ahead and order one. I’ll keep you posted on how it works out for me.
I find myself anxious to spend more and more time outside lately. I had promised that I would start going for more walks when the weather broke so it looks like I’ve got some walking to do. I do want to go online and find a good pair of Shoes that would be good to walk in. I’m sure that I could find a good deal if I just took a little bit of time and did some searching some evening on my handy dandy laptop.
I have a pair of Sneakers that are still in good shape, but I’m not sure if I would be doing any justice to my feet, legs, back, etc buy wearing them that much. I might as well look for a good pair of Running Shoes while I’m at it. I don’t intend to keep walking for very long. I really want to start running again, but I have to start some where.
Buying shoe online doesn’t have to be a hassle. I found a great buying guide and plenty of tips for shoes online that I found to help set my mind at ease about ordering footwear via the Internet. I’m pretty good at finding good deals with reputable companies online. I’ll keep you posted………
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.
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…….
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.
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.
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.
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……….
