Talking with a friend

I was talking to my friend in Tulsa Oklahoma last night just catching up on what’s  been going on in her life and mine too.  She was talking about having a new building put up in her back yard for her crafts and projects she is always doing.  She’s been checking into Tulsa Concrete because she wants a concrete floor in her building.  She was telling me that this site helps her to find someone to do what she wants right the first time and at a fair price.

I think it’s wonderful that there are so many informative web sites out there to help people find what type of service they need and the ones that are not going to take your money and leave you with a shoddy job either.  See she’s a tight wad and isn’t going to pay a dime more than she has to in order to get a quality job done so she’s going to shop around and this site helps her to do just that by recommending a quality concrete company.  She’s like that with her crafts and everything else she goes after.  Well with this tight economy, you have to make sure you are getting your moneys worth and not getting ripped off.

What is it about Schumacher Homes?

I have told you about a couple of my friends that have moved and built the home of their dreams and Schumacher Homes was the home builder for all of them.  Well here we go again.  Since another of my friends is also friends with the ones that had new homes built, now they are getting Schumacher Homes to build them their new home in Houston too. Imagine that. How many people do you know that have had them to build a home for them? I must admit they know how to build a beautiful home and that’s who I would go to if I was looking to build a new home too.

Great Game System

Have you seen the new types of video game systems and games they have come out with lately? I’m sure you have unless you live under a rock or don’t have children. They actually make a kid get off his rear and move. Some of the kids of the people that work for me have a Nintendo Wii and an even better system has been born to get kids up and moving. The technology, graphics, and imagination that have gone into not only the system but also the games is mind boggling.

They are even starting to put them in Nursing homes to get the elderly moving. Heck I got one for myself to help me get my ‘girly figure’ back. Fat chance of that but it will help me feel better and I just might drop a few pounds too.

It’s going to be a girl!

My waitress that I told you was expecting is going to have a baby girl.   Isn’t that wonderful!  I can’t wait to have a baby girl around.  She was talking about different names and I told her she should check out this web site to find out what the names mean.  You wouldn’t want to name her something that meant something you didn’t like, ya know what I mean.

She also wondered about different things to do with being pregnant that I couldn’t answer so I recommended this web site to her again and even showed it to her on my computer.  I told her she was welcome to check it out anytime she had a question.  She’s such a sweet girl, in fact she’s the daughter I never had.

I lost a dear friend

I just found out that one of my closest friends is gone.  She passed away from an aneurysm she suffered at work yesterday.  How can this be?  She was healthy and full of life one second and gone the next.  God only promises us the here and now and nothing more and boy did that hit home yesterday.  With that in mind, we should love each other like there’s no tomorrow because there might not be.  We should tell each other just how much we mean to each other so that no one leaves your life without knowing how much they touched your life.

I still can’t believe she’s gone but I do have many wonderful memories that I find both pain and comfort in right now.  I know that these memories will keep them alive in my heart and mind and in time, they will be a source of pure joy without the pain.  Hold those near and dear to your close!!!

I wish they had this when I was younger

I never had any children and I’m not sure if it’s because I was unable to conceive or if I just didn’t know what I was doing, you know what I mean.  Oh I knew all too well how it was supposed to happen but it never did.  I just wish I had known about this web site when I was younger and I might have learned something about how to help conceive.  It’s possible.

Now that one of my waitresses is expecting, I get to learn more and more about the whole process of being pregnant.  There’s so much I don’t know about pregnancy that most people just take for granted unless you’re the one that’s expecting.  This is her first baby and she was asking me all sorts of questions like how long was she going to have morning sickness.  I don’t know why they call it ‘morning’ sickness when the poor girl is sick on and off all day.

She started asking me these questions because I’m sort of the ‘God Mother’ of all that work for me and I wanted to be able to answer them so I started doing some checking and that’s when I found all sorts of answers for her online.  Thanks to this web site, I can help her to know what just might help with the morning sickness.

What can make or break your move?

Sure the real estate market is a bit tough but a quality real estate agent can make or break your move.  When you are moving out of state, you have to seek out a good Realtor and fayetteville real estate is one of the best if you are planning a move to Arkansas. They will go above and beyond to find just the right house for you and your family. Unlike a lot of others, they wont’ try and push you into something that you’re not really interested in. They push to find what you’re looking for.  With all of the problems with the housing market, that’s very important if you ask me.  I don’t like being pushed into anything I don’t really want and you shouldn’t either.  They’re there to help you, not just help themselves.

It’s about time I would say!!!

Anna Nicole Smith died over 2 years ago and finally they are doing something about it.  She died of an accidental drug overdose.  There were three people responsible for this tragedy that left a beautiful baby girl without her mother.  Howard K. Stern and two doctors all gave Anna Nicole Smith the drugs and all should be charged with her death.  They did arrest each of them but I’m not sure to what extent they were charged.

Shame on the doctors who gave this woman the amount of drugs they did.  Yes I know she needed something to help her through the loss of her beloved son just 3 days after she gave birth to her daughter.  That’s enough to make any woman lose it for quite awhile but these people should have helped her and not drugged her like they did.  I am so against “Just give them a pill and it’ll be better.”  Sometimes it does take a pill but it takes love more than a pill and Howard was supposed to love her.  Yeah, he loved her money and the fact that she was arm candy for him.

Here’s something I bet you would have never guessed!

My father taught me to shoot a gun when I was a little girl and I still enjoy target practice to this day.  A lady has to be able to take care of herself when she’s alone, you know what I mean?  I have always trusted and bought DeSantis Holsters for my handguns plain and simply because I love the quality and they’re the ones that my father preferred too.  There are several different styles you can get from a shoulder holster to a belt holster.  The leather is not cheap leather either so you can count on them to last a long time.  And yes I do have a permit to carry one.

Daycare center in Arkansas

Oh my goodness, when I read this article, I was totally shocked that someone could be that stupid.  These are children!!!  These people are supposed to be taking care of some one’s precious little ones and then gave them wiper fluid to drink mistaking it for Kool-Aid!!  I was totally horrified that someone could be that dumb.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Ten children at an Arkansas day-care center drank windshield wiper fluid after the owner served it from a container mistaken for Kool-Aid and placed in a refrigerator, authorities said Friday. The day-care owner voluntarily surrendered her state license Friday.

Doctors estimate the children, ages 2 to 7, drank about an ounce of the blue fluid late Thursday afternoon before realizing it tasted wrong, said Laura James, a pediatric pharmacologist and toxicologist at Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock.

Only one child remained hospitalized Friday in good condition, after blood samples showed “measurable levels” of methanol, a highly toxic alcohol that can induce comas and cause blindness, officials said. In moderate cases, it can cause nausea, vomiting, staggering and sleepiness, James said. The day care also provided the fluid for testing.

The owner bought the windshield wiper fluid with several other items on a recent shopping trip, James told The Associated Press. “This product was mistakenly grabbed and thought to be Kool-Aid and put in the refrigerator,” she said.

The day care’s owner, Carolyn Bynum, was interviewed Friday by child welfare investigators and gave up her license, said Julie Munsell, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Human Services. Bynum declined to comment to the AP, but Munsell said she accepted “total responsibility” for the incident.

“She was so upset about what had occurred and she was definitely worried some of the children had been injured,” Munsell said. “It was just a mistake, she says. She says it was just a horrible mistake.”

This was a horrible mistake that could have cost children their lives.  When you are left to care for peoples children, you just don’t make mistakes as stupid as this one.  I’m sorry but that’s not acceptable to me.
