Don’t you love to travel?

Throughout my lifetime, traveling is one of the things I have enjoyed the most.  I have been to Ireland, England, Japan and many more places but the one place I have yet to go is Egypt.  That has been a life long dream.  Why haven’t I been there before now?  That’s a good question so I checked into Egypt holidays to remedy that.  I was surprised just how affordable it was.  I expected to find out is was more than I could afford right now but a holiday in egypt is very reasonable.

All of the trips I’m looking at depart from the UK but that’s okay too because I can visit a cousin I have that lives there.  I could spend a little time with her and then head off for one of many holidays as they say in England.  Now I just have to decide exactly where in Egypt I want to travel.  There are a lot of resorts to choose from like Marsa Alam, Sharm el Sheikh, Luxor, Taba, Hurghada and El Gouna.  Marsa Alam, El Gouna, and Hurghada are all part of the Red Sea Diving holiday package.  That sounds lovely to me except for I’m not much into diving.  Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada both are part of just the Red Sea Holiday.  That suits me better.  They have beautiful beached on the Red Sea plus many Red Sea hotels offering luxury spa and health treatments.  That’s what I’m looking for.  Nothing like taking a holiday and coming home feeling alive and refreshed.  I’ll have to give one of them a try.

This is not good

A friend of mine just called me and told me that a guy he works with was sent home because it seems that he might have been exposed to the Swine Flu over the holiday weekend.  It seems that a little girl tested positive for it after the cookout he attended.  Now everyone that he works with is a bit worried.  I don’t know if he has to have the symptoms to pass it along or just be exposed to pass it along.  Something to think about though.

Are you worried?

All of this talk about the swine flu has really got me worried.  The last thing any of us here needs is something like that and then give it to everyone else in my place.  That would be awful.  Especially since one of my girls is expecting.  The last thing I would want is for her baby to look like this just because she got swine flu while she was pregnant.

Dancing with the stars

Thanks to ‘Dancing with the Stars’, ballroom dancing and just dancing period, has made a huge comeback.  As a young woman I would dance the nights away but was never a trained dancer.  Watching this ‘young’ woman makes me think that I just might take some lessons.  Absolutely amazing woman!!! And just think, this could be me!!!

I absolutely love this video

One of my favorite songs is from the Man of LaMancha.  It’s called “To Dream the Impossible Dream.”  Well that’s the background music to a beautifully done video.  Yes you have to read a little but it’s worth it.  Sit back, relax and enjoy!!!

Sorry but I couldn’t resist

I sure hope this doesn’t offend anyone because basically I’m making fun of myself with this one.  I just thought it was the funniest thing I have seen in years.

Thank goodness for the rain

Boy has it been a hot one today.  All of a sudden, the temperature dropped and thank goodness for the rain.  We really needed some rain and relief from the summer heat was an added bonus.  This time of year, I would rather be in Alaska where it’s still cool but green at the same time instead of only white like it is in the winter.  Then again, I was born here and lived here most of my life so I see no reason to go anywhere else.  I’ve seen all of this old world that I care to see.

Check out this interview

No matter if you like Ted Nugents music or not, I can’t argue with his philosophy when it comes to gun control.  I must warn you there are some pretty harsh words but I agree with him.  We have become too soft on repeat offenders.  Just listen with an open mind and maybe you’ll hear what he is saying.

Serves this doctors office right

Boy do I hate to go to a doctor and end up feeling like a number or like I just got my pocket picked.  Unfortunately a lot of doctors have lost their sense of humanity and here’s a prime example for you I got in an email:

Those of us who spend much time in a doctor’s office should appreciate this! Doesn’t it seem more and more that physicians are running their practices like an assembly line? Here’s what happened to Bubba:

Bubba walked into a doctor’s office and the receptionist asked him what he had. Bubba said: ‘Shingles.’ So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.

Fifteen minutes later a nurse’s aide came out and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, ‘Shingles.’ So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Bubba to wait in the examining room.

A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, ‘Shingles.’ So the nurse gave Bubba a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Bubba to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.

An hour later the doctor came in and found Bubba sitting patiently in the nude and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, ‘Shingles.’ The doctor asked, ‘Where?’ Bubba said, ‘Outside on the truck. Where do you want me to unload ’em??’

I’m still laughing!!
