What Are You Wearing When You Are Learning Online?

I’m finding it to be true that more and more people are turning to furthering their education, because of the economy issues that have taken such a strong hold on the majority of us common folk and a good amount of them are doing this online at places like the Walden University. From what I can gather WaldenU.edu seems to be the first choice of so many folks that I personally know to be taking advantage of these online classes from the comfort of their own PC, leaving the decision of when and where they do their work completely up to them. Being able to be learning while still in your pajamas seems to be a adverting gimmick for online schools. This makes my warped mind wonder how many are learning in the nude!

I can’t help wonder if all of these people would be back sitting in a more formal classroom in order to keep their heads above water during these extremely rocky years if these online classes were not so readily available. I can only imagine how full and/or overflowing today’s classrooms would be if not for today’s technology making it so much easier to obtain this very important education that has become necessary for so many people to obtain in today’s very competitive world.

Tee Time at Myrtle Beach Come June

My sister just called and has invited me to go with her and her husband to spend a nice relaxing long week end at one of the best Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resorts come the end of June. They just got their tax return in the mail (crazy quick I know, right) and have decided to live it up for a change. Things have been so depressing with the economy and the extreme winter weather that we all need a nice break before we all lose our minds. Wasn’t that so cool of her to include me in on the fun in the sun at the Myrtle Beach Resort that she has made reservations at come summer!

She went online and did a quick research and found a great Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resort that has some great golf packages to offer. We all enjoy a good game of golf now and then. Our parents got us into golfing at very early ages and it has always been a great family activity that we try and partake in as much as possible. So golfing at one of the great golf courses that Myrtle Beach is so well known for sounds wonderful!

Knowing my sister as well as I do I can imagine that she has found one of the better Myrtle Beach Resorts that they have there and we are all in for a great treat. It has been a rough couple of weeks for me at work and this is just what I need to keep me going. Thanks sis!

Cheap Gift Ideas for Guitarists

Last Christmas was made so much easier by utilizing the Internet for all that it is worth. I actually purchased every single present online this time. I didn’t have to go to the mall or to Walmart or Target for anything, 100%. Except of course for any of the groceries or items that are sold at the grocery stores. Now that is what I’m talking about!

I did all of my research online as well. There is so much good information out there – it just amazes me. By using sites that offer advice, like the one that I used to find a cheap gift for guitarists which gave me good info that I actually used to help decide a couple of gifts with. I don’t think there really is a music store here in this town. Other than what Walmart and Target have to offer, and that isn’t much at all. So online is the way to go unless you want to drive over an hour to the next town over that has a small music store in the old town district.

Surprised Kitty Video on You Tube

I love finding cute videos on You Tube, the ones with puppies and/or kittens are my favorite. This one just cracks me up each time I watch it. They actually had this on The Animal Planet Channel two nights ago so I rushed to my computer yesterday to see if I could find it on You Tube and sure enough it was there. Gotta love You Tube!

Today’s Burlap

It seems that burlap is making a come-back, in a big way. I have never been a big fan of burlap, but today’s burlap is being used in so many pretty cool ways. I was looking at http://www.burlap-tablecloth.com and see that tablecloths, overlays, table runners, isle runners, burlap table toppers, fitted tablecloths, chair covers, sashes. napkins, drapes and a whole lot more is being made with burlap.

Check it out. I just might be using some of the gift cards that I received for Christmas at this site.

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.

Marching Bands

While looking online at various musical instrument sites, trying to find a good deal on an electric guitar to get for my nephew for Christmas I came across some exquisite Atkinson french horns that brought back a flood of memories from my days back in high school. One of our favorite things to do was to go to the Friday night football games, man those were some extraordinarily good times. The half time celebration was always a blast. I knew a lot of the kids that were in the marching band that always played during this exciting half time. To this day I get goose bumps whenever I see or hear a marching band play like in a parade, or on TV or in a movie, or even on YouTube!

I am still on the look out for a good guitar and with Christmas only a couple of weeks away I’m starting to get a bit nervous about the whole ordeal. It’s a good thing that I got a lot of my Christmas shopping done way ahead of time.

Rooommate Jackpot

My roommate comes from a rich family, and her dad completely bank rolls her lifestyle. She is really sweet, and I always end up benefitting from her father’s generosity, so I can’t complain. When we moved in to our apartment her father went ahead and connected all the utilities and said he would be happy to take care of them for a whole year while we got situated. He hooked us up with a great cable package and clearwirelessinternet4g.

I felt bad accepting it at first, but what could I do? When I spoke to my roommate about it she told me she knew it was weird, but that’s the way her dad is and that I should just enjoy it. She said she has tried to tell him she wants to be on her own, but he won’t take no for an answer. If only that was one of the problems I had with my parents! I was worried that she would turn out to be a terrible roommate and that is why her dad needed to sweeten the deal, but she’s not. She cleans up after herself and is very respectful. I guess I hit the roommate jackpot!
