I found what to give my mother for Valentines Day

Since Daddy passed away, Mom has not taken care of herself like she used to do when Daddy was still alive.  She used to always take good care of her skin, kept her hair fixed and wore some make-up.  Now she just sort of mopes around without fixing her hair and I haven’t seen her wear make-up in far too long.  In fact, she’s starting to really show her age and she’s not that old.

A friend told me about Atlanta med spa.  They said they sent their mother there for her birthday last year and it really made a big difference in her life.  She was in the same situation as my mother.  She had let herself go too.  They told me that they are a results-oriented medical facility and everything they do is without any type of surgery.

I liked the sounds of that because I know Mom won’t have plastic surgery but this sounds like something she would love.  What they do is help erase the signs of aging with state of the art technology to revitalize their skin. It helps to add fullness to your lips and face and shape your body to dramatically reduce the signs of aging. They only offer products, services and procedures that work, are scientifically sound but more important, they are totally safe.

Another beautiful day

I can’t believe how warm it is lately.  The wind is blowing like it does in March and I’m getting spring fever something awful.  I just hate cold weather and what it does to everything.  Everyone gets sick, your skin dries out and you just feel like going to bed, pulling the covers over your head and hibernating till spring.

Well hopefully spring will come early like it seems to be doing.  I sure hope so.  I’m ready to see the leaves on the trees and flowers blooming in the yards.  I’m tired of all the dreary days.  I want to get out and go fishing, go on a picnic or something besides sitting in the house shivering.

My friend is in financial trouble

She has a nasty habit of using her credit cards for everything from gas to groceries and usually pays most of it off when her statement comes but when gas went through the roof, she couldn’t do that.  Now she’s in over her head.  Not to mention, the credit card companies want such high monthly payments now that she’s gotten herself in a bind.

I told her she needs to check into some sort of Debt Settlement and they can help her to get through this rough spot she’s hit in the road.  It can happen to anyone and these guys help in more ways than most.  They will help keep you from having to file bankruptcy which is where she’s headed if she doesn’t do something soon.

They’ll help her to lower her monthly payments by fixing it to where she only has one lower monthly payment that is far more manageable.  She doesn’t even have to talk to the people she owes personally, they do that for you and she could be debt free in 1 to 3 years.  That sounds wonderful if you ask me.  She promised me she would check into it before she did anything else.  I think she’s making the right choice personally.

Are your bulbs coming up?

I just noticed this morning as I was leaving for work that my crocus are up and blooming.  My daffodils are up about 4 inches too.  I thought that stupid groundhog said we were going to have 6 more weeks of winter.  I think he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.  Maybe they will have 6 more weeks of winter in Pennsylvania but it sure doesn’t feel or look like it here.  I hope we have seen the last of the really cold weather personally.

Do you need Virus Removal?

One things for sure, you sure don’t want to get caught without virus protection.  That’s just asking for nothing but trouble with as any viruses as there are and as many as keep surfacing almost daily.  A virus can totally destroy your hard drive and everything you have on it.  In fact, if you get a bad enough virus, it would be cheaper to just buy another computer than to try and have that one fixed.  Some of them are that bad.  You sure won’t catch me without it, that’s for sure.

Virus Removal is a lot easier when you already have a virus protection program on your computer.  CyberDefender looks threats and decides the risk levels of suspicious files or processes that may contain harmful viruses. This threat assessment process is a lot faster than traditional methods and allows for faster, precise detection and treatment of malicious viruses, phishing attempts, dangerous spam,  spyware, and various forms of anything else that might be of harm to your computer or the security of it.  You couldn’t ask for more than that, now could you?  So if you’re not happy with your virus protection or time to renew, why not consider changing to CyberDefender?

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss?

That is about the most unlikely pairing I have heard of yet when it comes to music.  Everyone knows Robert Plant from Led Zepplin and Allison Krauss started off as a Bluegrass singer.  Talk about opposites when it came to music but somehow they clicked together and won a total of 5 Grammy’s.  Go figure.

The 51st annual Grammys was an all-ages affair ultimately dominated by a rock legend who took up with a younger bluegrass singer on a whim.  The unlikely pairing of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss that produced the hit album “Raising Sand” won five Grammys on Sunday including album of the year. The former Led Zeppelin front man, previously best known for his high-decibel shrieking and rock star theatrics, found more docile Nashville melodies with Krauss.

While accepting the Grammy for album of the year, the 37-year-old Krauss – perhaps wanting to remind the audience that Plant’s rock star hadn’t entirely matured – said there’s “never a dull moment” with the 60-year-old singer.

My cousin had Lasik sugery

I have a cousin that lives in Texas.  She has worn glasses since I can remember and finally got the nerve up to check into having Lasik surgery.  Someone told her that if she was going to have that done, then she should check out Jack Holladay because he’s the best around and just might be considered one of the best period.  Well since it was her vision she was thinking about having something done on, she decided she better check into the doctor to make sure she didn’t get a second rate doctor.

It seems that this is not one of those that claims to be all that.  This doctor is one of the best.  In fact, he’s had over 50 peer reviewed articles published so that says a lot right there.  Not only that but he’s also the past president of an international association of Lasik doctors.  That’s not national but international.  He’s also certified by nonprofit patient advocacy which is wonderful too.  Oh and get this, Jack Holladay teaches other doctors how to perform Lasik so with all of that in mind, he not only talks the talk but also walks the walk as they say.  If I decide to have that done, I’ll be going there too.

Different type of Milkman than here

Did you hear about the milkman in England that was delivering more than milk?  The standing joke here in the United States is that a child is the ‘Milkman’s’ and my father was the ‘Milkman’s’ son.  His father that was married to his mother was the local milkman so he really was the milkman’s kid.   Isn’t that funny!!

Anyway the story goes like this for the Milkman in England:

LONDON – A British prosecutor says an elderly milkman supplied customers with cannabis as well as bottles of milk.  Robert Holding, 72, delivered marijuana as he made his daily rounds in the town of Burnely, in northwestern England.

Prosecutor Sarah Statham said Friday that Holding offered the drug to elderly customers suffering from aches and pain.  She says the customers left Holding notes on their doorsteps to order the drug.

According to Britain’s dairy industry, around 1.5 million British homes have milk delivered by a milkman. Deliveries have declined over the last 20 years. Holding pleaded guilty to supplying the drug and was given suspended jail sentence of 36 months.

Well at least he was only selling to elderly people to try and help them with medical problems and not selling it to kids on the street.  I think he should be commended in someways.  It’s about time they did something to realize that marijuana does have some health benefits.  The problem is the government can’t figure out how to tax and control it.  It’s too easy to just grow in your house in a flower pot apparently.

I don’t  know because I don’t care for the stuff personally.  I guess I’m too much of a control freak to let something like that have any type of control over me if only for a short period of time.  Besides, it’s illegal and I sure wouldn’t want to go to jail for a buzz.  Besides, I prefer natural highs like realizing this is my 100th post!!!!  How cool is that??

My boss is losing his hair

Bless his heart, he’s trying really hard not to let anyone see it but he’s starting to get that thinning on the back of his head at his crown.  You’ve all seen those men that only have thin hair on the back of their head.  It’s funny to see how they comb their hair to try and cover it up.  My boss is always going into the bathroom and stays for quite awhile and I know he’s checking to see if his balding spot is showing because all of a sudden, there’s a hand held mirror in the men’s rest room.

All he needs to do is check out toppik online. A friend of mind told me that her father uses their products and it has really helped his hair not look as thin.  She said they have all sorts of different products from a-z for not only hair loss but skin care too.  That’s how her father learned about the products.  They have good prices and a great discount prices on just about all of their products.  They also have super fast delivery but how in the world would I let my boss know about it without embarrassing him?

What were they thinking?

I just read the funniest article on today.msnbc.msn.com.  It was about some of the strange names people give their children.  I thought Frank Zappa held the record for the weirdest names to name a child between Moon Unit, Dweezle and Motorhead but some of these make those names almost sound normal.

The worst, most humiliating baby names

Ancestry.com shares the silliest, craziest and downright cruelest names of all time.

What would compel a parent to bestow a newborn with a name like “Tiny Hooker” or “Fanny Large”? Or an amusing choice like “Wanna Towell”? It’s not just Hollywood’s elite opting for unique, embarrassing names-throughout history, normal people separated their offspring from the masses with truly terrible names.

In “Bad Baby Names,” Michael Sherrod and Matthew Rayback, of the genealogy Web site Ancestry.com, share thousands of shocking names given to real people, as recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau. Discover the funny names based around common themes, like diseases (Fever Bender, Cholera Peace), food (Bread White, Pomegranate Purple), pets (Good Dog), and if you thought Wednesday Addams was unfortunate-wait till you meet Monday Monday.

I just don’t get it.  Don’t these parents realize what they are setting their child up for when they get school age?  They will be teased and humiliated by their classmates.  Is that what they want for their child?  I sure wouldn’t.
