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.

Dressing Up Like A Big Girl For The Prom

My sister’s oldest daughter, Kim, is getting excited about graduating from high school this June. She is going to take a year off and then head to college the following year, or at least that is the plan as of now. The way things change around here you are never really sure until it happens. Kim is a smart kid and has the capability to do some pretty cool things in her lifetime, so we have all done our best to try and keep her right on track. This hasn’t always been easy, but 5 months to go and then she will be on her own.

Right now one of the concerns is her finding the best looking of the evening dresses for prom night which is a big deal in our small town. Since we don’t really live near a big city with a large mall to shop in you either have to go out of town to find your evening and/or prom dresses and hope that no one else goes there and buys the same one. Or you can shop online and find the perfect dress since there is still plenty of time. There are great deals to be found online, sites that are offering free shipping and accept PayPal always get my vote and my business.

Hard to believe that Kim will soon be eighteen and will be leaving the nest. I’ve watched her grow and have been very active in her life and I believe that she has a good head on her shoulders and that she won’t let us all down.

Not Too Old To Learn About The Stock and Online Trading

Now I know that I don’t look or act the type of guy that would be interested in Mobile Trading, IRA Accounts and all the other things that tie into what  Online Trading is all about these days. But I’ve heard so much about Stock Trading from a variety of folks that have found alternative ways to bring a decent income in such a screwed up economy that we have all found ourselves suffering from. With no light seemingly in sight at the end of this ever growing tunnel it is all too overwhelming and people are getting more desperate with each passing day, I’m sorry to say.

I’ve had, in the past, Mutual Funds, so I’m familiar with this type of financial gamble that I personally lost a good amount of my hard earned money in a matter of months. But Stock Trading and the use of an Online Broker are just a bit more over my head and I’d really like to start learning more about all of these Stock!s, Options, EFTs and Fixed Incomes for a starter I have a distant cousin who has consented to come over either Saturday or Sunday of next weekend and spend some time with me on my laptop and show me some of the ropes that he has been learning and finding out about the last 9 months or so. Even my eldest sister might join us to listen in and find out for herself in case she becomes interested as well. It is something that we could do together and learn together and possibly earn some money together. We will see how it pans out after the first initial meeting, so to speak.

The New 2011 Scion IQ Micro-Sub Compact

Have you seen or heard of the new 2011 scion iq that is the talk of the town, so to speak.  It is being designated as the friendly competitor of The Smart Car that we all have seen buzzing down the roads these past couple years. I don’t know anyone that owns one so that I can get their opinion on these tiny little mini vehicles. I guess I could go down to the dealership and take one out for a test drive one day. I’d like to see how they handle on the roads and at 55 MPH or more.

This scion iq launch is a mighty big to do for the micro-sub compact industry. We are finding the need for much smaller vehicles that don’t eat up as much energy as the vehicles that we have grown accustomed to. Check out scion.com and find out all you need to know about the line up that is ready and waiting for launching. These are some pretty cool looking little cars and I’m sure we will be seeing them up and down our roads here real soon. It will be interesting to see people’s reactions to them.

Too Cold to Grill

When I cook steaks I like to use my gas grill that is out on the deck. But it is pretty cold this week. I don’t think I want to stand in front of a grill out in this cold weather just to eat a well cooked steak.

I might go down to the home goods store and buy one of those George Foreman grills that you use in your kitchen. I have heard several people say they got one for Christmas and that they love it. So maybe I should try that out. I don’t really see how an electric waffle maker looking appliance can cook steaks as good as a grill with open flame, but I’m willing to give it a chance just for the sake of not having to be outside when the temperature drops below 20 degrees.

Hansen Wholesale offers Guaranteed Lowest Prices on ALL Gas logs by R. H. Peterson

Been thinking about  turning to Gas Logs sometime in the near future. From what I can tell R. H. Peterson Real Fyre Gas Logs are right up there on top and that they have a great website with a lot of good information to take in on the subject. So I’ve been taking a gander around the Robert H. Peterson gas logs site to find out more about the world of Vented Gas Logs and Ventless Gas Logs, I didn’t know that there would be such a variety to choose from and many things that are factored into the decision of which way to go. But I’m sure that Hansen Wholesale is the place that I’m going to be purchasing my choice from.

This old farm house is going to be needing upgrades in so many areas and I can only do such much with so little time and money, but if I keep on steady like I might be able to see and feel a difference and feel good about what I’ve been putting so much blood, sweat and tears into. It’s not like it’s a money pit, my parents took real good care of the place but it is old and it needs to be kept on top of so it doesn’t start going downhill because that can turn into a real nightmare.

Holiday Ham

For Christmas dinner I have decided to get a ham instead of a turkey. We just had a huge turkey dinner a couple of weeks ago and I want something different for our holiday dinner table.

There was a good selection of spiral cut, precooked hams at the Sam’s Club last week, and I considered picking up one then. I probably should have bought it while I saw it there – if I go back to buy it today there is a good chance that they have sold out. But I’ll go check and pick up a few more things I need in bulk. If they don’t have any hams left, I’ll head over to Honeybaked Ham and pay a little more for the ham – but it will be a really good ham.

Saturday Shopping Panic

Here it is the last Saturday for shopping before Christmas. The stores are going to be packed.

Maybe I would feel more in the Christmas spirit if I went out and did a little shopping myself. I bought a few gifts over the past couple of weeks, but I am sure I could find a few more things to pick up if I wanted to spend a few hours at the mall.

Credit Issues

Who would have thought that our credit report would have so much impact on our daily lives? I used to think that credit was only important if you wanted to buy a house. But over the years I have learned that credit affects buying a car, getting credit cards, and even getting life insurance. So I decided to find a place that could help and discovered  The Credit People have a web site with lots of good information.

There are web sites to help people with credit repair service as well as giving information to people just learning about credit and getting started, such as new college grads and even people newly widowed who never handled money before. I’m hoping that this type of information might help some one else out in their time of need and these are certainly needy times that we have gotten ourselves in.

My credit got all messed up a few years back, before my parents passed away and I took over the farm and house. I haven’t had the extra time or energy to deal with credit issues but due to my sister’s urging I have been looking around a bit online researching the different “Repair Your Bad Credit” options and offers that are out there today. You can imagine how much easier the Internet makes this task for me. The last thing I need is to be tangled up with numerous phone calls or playing phone tag throughout my busy day.

I have managed to pay off most of my credit card bills, but there are still two of them that have some pretty high balances on them, with some pretty steep interest rates being charged each month. I’ll be able to breath a bit easier once they are done and over with, and I’m so looking forward to that day.

Vehicle Issues

Gone are the days of spending hours on the phone with your local yellow pages in one hand, pen and paper in the other hand and writing pages of information down in an effort to find the best car insurance quote from insurance agents in your neighborhood.

Today you can spend what time you have and need comparing vehicles and car insurance cost offers and issues on web sites like what thecarconnection.com web site has to offer. It’s a geat one stop shopping web site for just about everything concerning new and used vehicles.
