Health and Beauty Issues

Today’s technologies are simply brilliant these days, with state of the art facilities and products available while all becoming more affordable we now have the ability to do just about anything to anyone as we please. The medical field is a fascinating field, one that is growing faster then most of us can keep up with. I enjoying the various television shows that are centered around the medical field. House has become one of my favorite shows as of late, an interesting program, as well as entertaining, to say the least.

Dermatology has a lot to offer these days, liposuction in chicago is being done at Lakeview Dermatology, in the Park Ridge area, which is a leading dermatology clinic that specializes in laser acne treatments, liposuction, hair removal treatments, Restylane treatments and many other skin care treatments as well, which are making numerous people so much happier with their bodies and their health. We are a population of people overly concerned with our appearance so this is a great field to be in these days.

Not only are we concerned with looks for appearance sake, but for numerous health reasons as well. I know several people that have turned to these type of procedures, all of them are very happy with their results, no law suites are pending and everyone is happy with their new looks and their longer life expectancies.

Outdoor Hot Tubs and Their Covers

What I wouldn’t give to have a nice hot tub to soak in after a long hard day around here. It would be great to have one set up right out on the side porch, a perfect place for a good sized hot tub, outside, but not too far from the side door. Of course if I ever get enough cash together to purchase one I would need to then search for good quality hottub covers, since it would be out in the weather all year, it would need to be made to last and plenty durable, like the ones advertised at Hottubs2buy.co.uk.

Maybe this is something that I need to look at when I get next year’s tax refund check.

Batteries

I seem to constantly needing to replace batteries in something around here. I have a box that I keep all types of batteries and a battery tester in, I try to keep it full as much as possible. But it always seems to happen that I reach in there for a particular type of battery only to find that there is only one or two (and of course I am in need of three or four) or I don’t have any at all. I spend a lot of money on batteries.

Wood Crafting

Since I spend so much time here at the family homestead, I have consented to help my sister with some of her wood craft projects. There are plenty of machines and tools here all ready that our father used so it just makes sense to make some use out of them with this wood crafter wood crafts that sis is finding herself getting into these past couple of months.

I have a little bit of experience with most of the equipment, tools and machines that are every where I turn in most of the out buildings. But this is a good time for me to see which ones are still working, which ones need some maintenance, and which ones did to go and free up some of the clutter around here.

Infomercials

Could not sleep last night, so I turned on the TV and thought it might bore me back to sleep. I rarely stay awake past the late night news. Every once in a while I try to watch a little of the David Letterman Show. But honestly, it’s hard to stay up that late and be productive the next day.

For some reason I could not sleep and the Letterman Show was long over with. After his show was another talk show / variety show kind of thing with a guy named Craig Ferguson. He was funny, but in a forced and giddy way. I don’t know that I liked his show much. Then, after that is some celebrity gossip show. I could care less which celebrities are arrested for DUI or getting divorced. I thought surely that would put me to sleep. But no.

Then, they ran an old episode of Star Trek the Next Generation. I could not believe that clock said it was after 2:00 am and I’m still awake. So then, they started a commercial to sell something to do with buying and selling foreclosed homes. That’s what finally did it – that infomercial put me to sleep within the first couple minutes of that boring show.

Sterling Silver Jewelry

It used to be that you had to go to a flea market to get a good deal on sterling silver jewelry and other such items that now a days you can go online and find good deals on. I still enjoy going to flea markets now and then, but most of them are full of used baby items and junk that you can find at the dollar store. I have no use for any of that type of stuff.

Once in a while you can find a dealer that has some good quality items at a great price, but that seems to be a rare occasion now a days.

New York Flower Delivery

Normally I would ask one my sisters for her assistance with the ordering of flowers. These days there is no excuse for me not to be able to tend to this task myself right online. No more calling around blindly asking for price ranges and verbal descriptions for the available arrangements by the numerous florists found in the local phone book. Within a matter of minutes you can have all that information put right before your eyes to feast and ponder on.

There are deals to be found online. Petercooperflowershop.com is offering free delivery for all online orders and has low prices, no service fees, and same day service as well. Since they live in the upper part of New York, using a local New York Flower Delivery only makes sense.

Our great aunt and great uncle are soon to be celebrating their 55th wedding anniversary and I think that sending them a nice arrangement of flowers will do quite nicely. My great aunt’s favorite color is purple and I’ve found the perfect flowers that I’m looking forward to putting a smile on her face for and on their special day. It is too bad that my parents aren’t around to help celebrate this huge anniversary with all of us. I know my mother was very tight with Aunt Pearl back in the day. I consider this $45 to be money worth spending on this particular celebration.

A Decent Bass Equializer Pedal

It’s so good to get a hand written thank you card in the mail these days, it just makes me think that they are cool enough to take the time and effort to write the card, address the card, put a stamp on it and then get it to a mailbox. When these days in just a matter of minutes you can shoot someone a thank you and or a card with all of today’s technology communication options.

The reason I bring this up is that in today’s mail there was a thank you card from my 19 year old nephew for the bass eq that we, the aunts and uncles, all pitched in a bought for him as his High School Graduation gift. He is a good kid and he deserves a decent Bass Equalizer Pedal, and so much more, but that’s another story.

Green Ways To Wrap Gifts

One of the most wasteful things around any of the holidays is using gift wrapping paper and then just throwing it all away afterwards. But lately I’ve been trying to get around that and eliminate some of my holiday waste.

I went online to try and get some more ideas on how I could wrap things in a green way, when I came across some clear wireless internet specials that I wanted to take advantage of, so I signed up for them.

I ordered some green holiday gift wrapping that was made out of recycled paper that’s pretty cute and have sworn that that’s all that I’m going to use of wrapping paper this year. I’m also going to try and come up with other ways to package up most of my gifts. I think that I’m going to put together a few gift baskets for some people so that they can reuse the actual basket for something else afterwards. I may also wrap them in tulle, which is something that you can see through, but that they can use for something else afterward instead of throwing it away.

Eating Dinner Out At A Local Buffet

This Friday night a few friends and I are going to eat out at a local all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant.  You order a main dish that includes meat and potato, and then you go to the buffet counter and get all you want veggies, salad, rolls, fruit, desserts, and more potatoes if you want.  The restaurant is about the best value meal you can buy in the area, and the wait staff is friendly.  The only problems I’ve had there is sometimes they cook the steaks more than I like so I’ve learned to tell the waitress that I want it cooked rarer than I really want it.  That way it usually comes out all right.  One thing is for sure, if you leave hungry it’s your own fault!

They have a coupon book that gives loyal customer rewards, when you eat there you leave a ticket at the cashier’s desk and they fill it out with how much money your meal was.  After you spend $100 they send you a coupon good for a free meal.  That’s one of my favorite local restaurants, good food, good value, and they send you free meal tickets every few months! I like free and hate to cook, so it’s a win, win situation for me.
