GREEN Rubber Mulch – The Way To Go Folks

What can I say? When I think of mulch, rubber is the last thing that comes to my mind. But apparently there is a new fangled type of mulch that is being manufactured out of old tires by a company called Rubberecycle. This is the same company that provided the White House with the playground that the Obama’s daughters and their lucky play mates get to play on. I’m assuming that when a new president moves into the White House that the playground will stay right where it is, but who knows what the future will bring when that takes place when all of that comes about. But for now it is good to know that the Obamas are doing their part in going green in numerous ways that are all good to know about.

This particluar company offers several products that are long lasting, safe and extremely environment friendly, not to mention economical. I would urge anyone to check out their website of rubberecycle.com and see all that they are about. If I had kids and was looking into having a playground for them to enjoy I would certainly be interested in having this company come out and see what they could come up with for them. We all want our kids to spend time outside having fun, but safety is a big concern, right? The numbers are startling when it comes to injuries that occur on playgrounds all across the country, nothing new really, just more media attention is taking place on the subject these days. I know that I would feel like a real dog if one of my kids or one of their friends or another member of family’s kid got hurt on something that I paid for and allowed them to play on. So it sounds like this rubber mulch is the way to go folks, if you have the need.

Full moon

I ran into some friends today at the Tractor Supply Store.  We hadn’t seen each other in a while, so we decided to have coffee together at the local diner before we all headed home again.   We started talking about how tonight was the full moon and swapping stories about how the full moon sometimes effects them or people that they know. 

Bob said his wife is a nurse in the local Emergency Room and that they get a lot busier during the full moon than any other time of the month.  She said that they get more incidences of violence, saying the people’s tempers flare up more easily.  She also claimed that more babies are born during the full moon.

Gary said that his youngest daughter gets a lot crankier than usual during the full moon, and tends to start arguments with her brothers and sisters on full moon days.

I’d heard that the police department has more people scheduled to work during the full moon too, because they have more domestic disturbance calls during the full moon.  I don’t know if that’s true or not….  just something I’d heard.  I think it’s an interesting idea, that the full moon effects our moods in that way.

Healthline Medical Info

One of the hard things in getting older is the fact that our parents are getting older as well. It seems that I’m hearing more from friends these days about the bad health or the death of one or more of their parents. As some one that recently lost both of his parents I can relate to how horrible those times are. Seeing your parents grow old and sickly is heart breaking, something that no one looks forward to and not an easy thing to deal with.

Although modern medicine is keeping people healthier and alive longer these days, the end is always sooner or later enevatable. The Internet is playing a key role in people’s health more than ever with websites like what Healthline medical information has to offer online. Very valuable information can be found easily to assist with any type of medical issue that you can think of. The more you know about and keep informed and educated about your health the better, right. Not all doctors take the time to answer all of your questions and concerns, especially about medicines. Let’s say you were given a prescription for simvastatinwhich is a popular  HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor which is used to lower cholesterol, you can go online and find out all that you need to know about that drug which can be very useful. Not all pharmacists have the time to talk to you about your prescription questions and concerns, although they can be a very valuable resource as well.

An Upgrade To Even A High Number of Devastating

It is all most 4 a.m. and I am still awake and plugging away on my computer. I have been having a bought of sleeplessness this past week for some unknown reason. Even though it is Saturday night and most people wouldn’t think of it being too big of a deal since most people are able to sleep in on their Sunday mornings. We, the farmers of the world, on the other hand have to get up with the chickens seven days a week, no matter what, no excuses, that’s a fact, jack!

Anyway, there isn’t a whole lot to pick from on the TV to watch in the wee hours of the morning, even though I have cable and there are tons channels to choose from. As I’m just about to change the channel a news story broke telling us that the earthquake that is still devastating Japan and other area’s has been upgraded from a 8.9 to a 9 on The Richter Scale. Isn’t that something, I’ve never heard of an earthquake with that high of a number on The Richter Scale. Most of the times we hear of these powerful rumblings being in the 6’s or very low 7’s, so this is just unheard of.

Discount Scrubs at Blue Sky Scrubs Online

I’ve decided to find some nice looking discount scrub sets for my sister’s birthday gift, for her up and coming birthday April 21st. Seems she is always looking for new clothes to wear to the hospital where she has been working at now for all most a year now. I’m so proud of her for going back to school and doing what she knew she had to do in order to gain employment in the medical field like so many other people have decided to do in these hard economic times. Since there will always be a need for medical professionals on this earth, it is a pretty safe bet to get the education needed to get your feet wet and stay in the medical field.

I remember that she found some pretty great hospital uniform suppliers online that she was excited about. One of them was blueskyscrubs.com, she was telling me is a company that started out with the manufacturing of scrub caps. Then their nursing scrubs, medical scrubs, and hospital uniforms were added six months later  in December 2005 and they have been selling like crazy ever since. I would love to get her one of those scrub caps or a couple of their nicer discount scrub tops. I’ll have to check and see what all they have. It is so nice to be able to just jump in the computer and check on things such as this. If I had to get in the truck and drive all the way into town to find her something my options would be so limited. My sister deserves something nice that she wants for her birthday, she does so much for the entire family while taking care of her own family, and then taking care of people at the hospital as well. My sister – The Care Taker – who would have thought that 20 years ago when she was busy being a tom boy and beating the tar out of the neighborhood bullies that were terrorizing her brothers and her sisters alike.

The Dog Whisperer On Satellide TV

Thanks for the post from Stan Atkins

When I get the chance, I like to sit down and watch the Dog Whisperer on satellite tv. This is one of my favorite shows because I like dogs and want to know as much as I can about them. Cesar Milan works with dogs that other people would often give up on. I like that.

Casar can take a dog that is aggressive and make it into a good house pet in no time flat. There have been cases where he was unable to accomplish that right in the home of the person he was trying to help, but he didn’t give up on the dog.

Cesar has a place where he can take renegade dogs and introduce them to his pack of dogs. Most of these dogs were renegades too and with his help they have become good canine citizens who get along well with the others.

What Cesar does during his show is teach people the nature of dogs. This alone is a great way to help them learn how to train their own dogs. Once you know the way dogs think, you can do much more with them. He instructs the dog owners not to treat their pet dog like children because they interpret that as weakness and they will then try to take over the position of alpha in the pack.

WebHostingBuzz

A good New Year’s Resolution to adhere to these days is to try and make a better effort to become as “green” as humanly possible. Living on a farm most of my life I have learned many ways to help our Mother Earth in various ways. The good lord knows that we have been into recycling before it was the “in” thing to do. We have always tried hard to replace anything that we have taken from the land and have been open to ideas and suggestions.

One thing that we can all do is give our business to companies that are doing their part in the “green movement”. Did you know that there are website hosting companies that are making a huge effort and are doing wonderful things in order to participate in these practices. WebHosting Buzz is doing a tremendous job with their efforts. You can read more about them here at http://www.webhostingfan.com/reviews/webhostingbuzz-web-hosting-review/. 

I’d like to really encourage as many folks as possible to check this out and see if they would be willing to switch over to a web host that is doing things such as WebHostingBuzz is doing. You can find reviews and ratings as well as a lot more information on a ton of web hostings at webhostingfan.com.

Another Fatal Hunting Accident

Every year we hear the sad stories of a hunting mishap, usually they are fatal mishaps, much like the one that I just heard on the radio yesterday. The story was about a father, some where in the southern part of Virginia, that took his two sons, ages 7 & 10, out hunting. The 7 year old shot a dear with his pellet gun and then proceeded to run towards the dear, mean while the 10 year old shot his shot gun at the dear and the younger brother was hit by the bullet and was killed. What a sad story, I can’t imagine what that family is now going through. There is no good time for something like this to happen, but right during the holiday season must be the worst time ever.

Keeping Up With The Kardashians

While surfing channels I seem to keep seeing bits and pieces of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians, a show that I have never had any intentions of watching. I keep seeing a guy that looks familiar, but his voice isn’t quite right and his hair is just butt ugly. Come to find out – this guy is Bruce Jenner, a former Olympic athlete but something just didn’t seem to fit so I Googled his name and found out that he is one of the many victims of some plastic surgery done bad.

The 2010 National Geographic Photo Contest

National Geographic has always been known for their great photographs. I’m glad that I ran across this photo on Yahoo. Most of us have a soft spot for dolphins and this photo depicts the seriousness of what man’s trash is doing to so much of our wildlife.

Dolphin alert?- The archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil is considered a wildlife sanctuary, but today, even in this isolated archipelago dolphinsare victims of the bad habits of consumption.
