While there are many examples of brave American soldiers, there are some that we rarely hear about. These American fighters are actually dogs. The army has many special uses for the animals that help sniff out bombs and track insurgents.
Many feel that the dogs don’t receive the tribute they deserve and want to see more done to protect them. The handlers of the dogs say that the care they receive is top-notch and that they have happy productive lives. I’m just glad they are on our side.
Due to the storm, we are all sitting at home. Luckily, the power is still on which is amazing as the storm is raging outside. Anyway, there is not much to do and we are all kind of bored. We are trying to find something to keep us busy.
There is not much on TV tonight and so we are thinking that we may play a game. I don’t know if I can talk my girl into playing a game of scrabble as she always loses. She may not want to play. Anyway, I guess we’ll make it through the night.
One thing that everyone has in common is their job. Every job has its own set of problems that have to be dealt with. One thing that is good is that some jobs can be made easier using the internet. This happened to one of my relatives when she started a new job. She was overwhelmed at first, but did well in the end.
My cousin works in a hospital. She works in a management position. Part of her job was to write the hospital policies for that particular institution. She was having trouble with it as it’s a huge task. Fortunately, she found a site called policymedical.com. The site made it easy for her to complete the task she was given. She told me all about it.
The site helps people with policy management. They have the policy software that allows people to manage many forms of hospital policies. She has now completed her job and is happy that it is so easy to keep her policies up to date with the software she uses. She loves the fact that the software has saved her so much time and she is able to make changes quickly and easily. I am sure she will do well at her new job.
The wind and rain are pretty bad outside right now. The hurricane Irene is approaching us and is getting worse. We are not really in a flood zone and so I feel good about that, but the wind and water could threaten our home. We were able to take some precautions though and I am glad we did.
We put everything up in the yard and made sure all the loose items were packed away. We have plenty of food and water as well as candles in case the power goes out. I think we’ll be alright and make it through the storm.
My car battery has been failing over the last several days. I had to get a jump start from friends at work just to get home the other day. This morning, it was dead again and I was lucky a neighbor of mine came to the rescue and got me on the road again.
I went to a local auto parts store and was surprised that a decent battery costs nearly $100 dollars. I had to buy one though and they put it in for me. Now at least I can start my car and get where I’m going. Cars sure are expensive!
The weather here in our part of the world is beautiful today. I just came inside after working in the garden for a few hours and I am happily dirty. I did some weeding and watered the plants. I also fixed the fence where it came down in the storm last week.
Anyway, I was happy to be out in the sun and even got a little bit of tan already. I think I’ll make a nice lunch and relax for a few minutes. I guess I’ll be going back out after awhile and see what else I can get done.
Thanks for the post, Kathy Shelton
There is nothing like a good action movie. While there are many great action stars out there, I personally enjoy Matt Damon’s work in the Jason Bourne Trilogy.
Recently, I was in the mood for a good action flick, so I began searching the channels. The Bourne Ultimatum was on. I had not seen the movie in a while, so I decided to sit down and watch it on http://www.directstartv.com. Halfway through the movie, I found myself wishing I was a highly trained CIA operative that could take down a man in half a second. I watched, as Bourne sped through crowded streets being chased by the police, and I knew that if I was given the chance, I could drive like that too.
I was just about ready to change my career plans and begin applying to be an agent, when Bourne jumps off a building and lands into freezing water a hundred feet below. Suddenly, reality began to sink back in. I wouldn’t last five minutes as a CIA agent. I start complaining if it is too hot outside. What would happen when people started punching me? As I watched Matt Damon jump off that building into the water below, I decided that I would leave the adventure to Jason Bourne.
Their was an article in the news about how women who live in Saudi Arabia are being punished for driving to the store. In this day and age, it seems very unreasonable that women would get in trouble for so simple a task. I know our culture is different from theirs, but it just isn’t right.
Women should be allowed to drive no matter what country they live in. they should have all the rights a man has as a matter of fact. If women cannot be equal partners in this world, then some people should reconsider their religion.
The internet seems to be the latest way to make extra money. So many people are using it to get some extra business that it’s become necessary to take advantage of its services. The problem with that is that many people are not that experienced with starting and maintaining a website. I know how frustrating it can be. Luckily, there are people who can help you with that chore.
One item that is available to everyone is called web hosting. They are companies that will help you keep your site running at its best. You don’t have to worry about anything; they will take care of it all. All you have to do is to find the best company for you. Luckily, I found a site called http://webhostingrating.com/ that can help you decide what company to use.
When you go on the site, you can find valuable information from their hosting guide page. It helps explain what web hosting is and how it can help you. You can also check out the best hosting awards page to find the best web hosting companies to help you with your problems. I think the internet is the wave of the future and people really need to seize the opportunities provided by it. I hope this site will help you in the future.
Since I had the good fortune to be born in the month of January, it seems that I am a Capricorn. I was reading my horoscope today and was surprised to learn that some good fortune is supposed to be coming my way. Imagine that!!
It turns out that Dolly Parton was born on the same day as I. At least I have some good company in that category. Some other famous Capricorns are David Bowie, Nicholas Cage, and Jimmy Page.
