A Good Future Career Choice

My oldest sister’s, oldest daughter has finally decided to do something with her life and pursue a career as a beauty therapist, the family couldn’t be happier to see her settle on this career choice, which we all think will fit her to a tee. She has been lolly gagging long enough, with two young kids that need a mother that is bringing in a consistent paycheck to support them with she has been job hopping for several years now and really needs to settle into something such as this recent career choice.

My niece is looking forward to furthering her education and has hopes of owning her own spa at some point. She’s been spending what down time she has browsing the Internet looking at spa related products and accessories, getting a feel for what is out there by way of spa uniforms and spa accessories. that she might be interested in utilizing in the near future in her own dream spa!

She has been sharing some of the links to sites that she is finding of interest with me, we have always had a good relationship and keep in touch via email on a pretty consistent basis. I have to say that I had no idea what the market was like for the spa’s of today. There are many decisions that need to be made and I don’t mind giving her my input on some of the things, but I have to tell you that I pretty much feel a bit out of my element on a good amount of it all.

I’ve never been in any type of spa in my life, so I’m not much help with some of her choices like what type of beauty therapist uniforms would be the best for her needs and wants, although I wouldn’t mind going to one at some point. With spring in full swing, and all the things that need to be done here on the farm, I can tell you that it won’t be any time soon.

Sisters

I love that fact that I am so close with my sisters, and it seems the older we get the closer we become and I realize how truly blessed I am to have them in my life, and my brothers also, of course. My sisters and I talk on the phone only on occasion, we mainly converse via email and recently using the Instant Messaging, at night when we are most likely all to be on-line. Isn’t it so great how Email has made it possible for so many people to keep in touch, who otherwise never would have taken the time or trouble in an effort to communicate the way we do now with the Internet and all.

My one sister and I have been talking about Facial Plastic Surgery over the past several years and I think that she is getting close to taking the plunge, as she has been talking about it more and more between us all lately. She has sent me an email recently about a Minnesota cosmetic surgery company that she has been communicating with online for some time now about a few surgical options. She wants to start with what she calls a “simple little brow lift” which is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia, and see how that goes before doing any other kind that they are qualified for at their practice.

A friend recommended this place and my sister has apparently spent a good amount of time communicating with them online and on the phone, she says that they are very nice and has been treated well. She tells me that she has made an appointment for a in person consultation, but not until late July, where she will finally meet their staff and hopefully make her decision to do it or not.

I’m pretty confident that she will have the procedure done. I hope that she does well with it and will be happy with the result. She is a braver women than I at this point and time.

Chlorella

I always find myself often looking and seeing what is out there as far as Herbal Supplements are concerned. I know that I am not eating a well balanced and nutritious diet. Most confirmed bachelors don’t get the necessary foods that are needed for a healthy mind, soul and body, cooking for one is really a chore and a challenge at times and certainly not any fun.

I’ve never been a fan of taking chemically man made vitamins and have always looked for natural herbs and supplements as a way to keep my health in running condition. Now that I have to rely on only myself for the daily running and upkeep of the farm I really need to keep healthy, or things will really fall apart quickly. I’m hoping to get some help come spring, things will really get busy and hectic at that point here.

Chlorella is a good choice for benefits such as, removing toxins, and it reduces cancer risks, while fortifying your body with necessary vitamins and minerals. So I have been thinking on trying this much talked about chlorella and have just found a company by the name of Greenpathsupplement online that sells them at a reasonable price and offers free shipping as well.

He’s Large!

There’s a scene in the movie, Popeye, where Olive Oil is hanging out with her girlfriends and she starts to sing a song about her fiancé, Bluto. She tries to sing of his virtues, but the song ends up, “He’s large,” and the girls sing along like backup singers, “Large.” That was the polite way, back in the 1980’s, to describe guys like me. I’m large and I’m not all that worried about losing weight. I’m not fat. There is a difference between large and fat.

My problem with being large is finding clothes that fit. For some reason a lot of U. S. manufacturers have decided that men who are wide must also be short. If I can find clothes that fit me around the waist, the legs are too short. If I find a shirt that is large enough for my barrel chest, then the sleeves are too short. That is why I shop for Large Men’s Clothing online. I know the measurements that I need and I can usually get enough details from the web site to know if the clothes will fit me.

Enjoy the video, thanks to YouTube! I’ve always been a Popeye fan and was thrilled when this movie came out. I think it’s time to dig that movie out and watch it again, probably been ten years since I’ve seen in last!

Many of The Columbia Backpacks

Yesterday I had to go and pick my niece up from the nurse’s clinic at school to take her home. Bless her heart she was so sick, most likely the flu. Good thing I got my flu shot a few months ago and I tried to keep the window down in my truck and no hugs and kisses were exchanged in an effort to keep her germs all to her self. Last thing I need is to get sick. Since I am usually not around a lot of people that are carrying millions of germs along with them I don’t get sick very often and I always get my flu shot.

My sister was out-of-town all day and they couldn’t get hold of my brother-in-law, so I am on the top of the emergency names and numbers to call in situations like this. It was a cold and rainy, miserable weather day, so I was actually grateful to get out of the nasty weather, ride in my nice warm truck to go fetch my niece, carry one of the many columbia backpacks that she uses for school, take her home and get her up to her room. I stayed with her until her Dad got home and I haven’t heard from anyone yet to let me know if they are taking her to the doctors or what. I hope she feels better soon and am praying that no one else in the house gets sick as well.

So Many Beds, So Little Time

As I’ve been talking about here lately that after spending some time now sleeping in the bed here at the farm that most be as old as the original farmhouse decor, I have decided that I really need to invest in a new bed that will be better for my aching back. After putting so much time and effort into the place, plenty of blood, sweat and tears have been placed into the daily work routine and I just can’t do it all anymore with a sore back each morning.

I have been doing some looking around online to see what types of beds are out there these days, I want to find one that is good quality, fits in with the rest of the furnishings in the old place and it definitely needs to be affordable at this point. Man have I been surprisingly overwhelmed with all of the selections that are now being produced and being offered these days, but I was happy to find one particular site at Time4sleep.co.uk that has a few that have caught my eye and I want to check out further that are in their Antique beds category.

A good quality bed is an investment and not something that I will take lightly, but I really need to make a decision soon, as these cold winter mornings are bad enough without starting them with an aching back!

The Right Kind of Bed For A Good Night’s Sleep

Sleep is such an important human condition. Sometimes I hate the way that our bodies require sleep – it is such a disruption to the day or night to have to stop and lie down for 6 hours. But a good night’s sleep is important to your health and ability to function well the next day. On a good night, I might be able lie down for 8 hours. To be honest, I can’t remember the last time I’ve slept longer than 8 hours uninterrupted. Most night’s I’m good with between 6 and 8 hours of good sleep.

There are several considerations to a good night’s sleep and one of the most important is a comfortable, supportive bed. This becomes even more important as our bodies grow and mature, with our skeleton and muscles needing proper support and rest. The right bed can mean the difference between a completely relaxing and sound sleep, or a night of tossing and turning with fits of wakefulness. I have had my eye on certain pieces of new furniture that I would like to replace or add to this household. In my opinion, the most important room in the house is the master bedroom. Everything else in a house can be replaced or substituted outside of the home, but the one main reason a man comes home at night is so that he can climb into his own bed.

Shopping for a new bed is worth a little time and effort to find the right bed, considering how important the bed is to a good night’s sleep. I found a web site called www.time4sleep.co.uk with all kinds of bed types – a large variety of styles and different types of beds for every home or person. My favorite beds on this site are the storage beds. There are different types of storage options and they make the bed very practical. Since the bed takes up so much space in the room, it makes total sense to me to make good use of the space under the bed to store items not used often. These beds make storage either attractive or hidden, at a cost similar to beds without the storage features.

The Benefits of the Acai Berry

According to my latest readings, I found that, acai berry can be used for numerous beneficial health concerns, such as the slowing down the aging process, it strengthens immune systems, it assists with burning of extra calories, while boosting energy levels and also helps with the digestive system. That is a lot of good and positive effects due to this berry that has been known to be difficult to purchase in raw form or even concentrated in supplement form. It is now available to online shoppers at Acai-berry-online.com and can lead you to trial offers to try for yourself, on their homepage.

Happy Birthday Sis!

Today my sister claims to have celebrated her last birthday, as she has no interest in turning 60 next year. This has been a wacky year for birthdays. A lot of turning points are being approached and I guess it is sinking in that we are all getting older and there isn’t a darned thing that we can do about it.

Mesothelioma Issues

I have to say that I don’t know all the much about the much talked about this Mesothelioma Disease that a good amount of people are having to deal with these days. I do know that there seems to be a lot of commercials for Mesothelioma Attorney practices advertising their Mesothelioma Lawyer services for people to take advantage of.

I just recently found out that a neighbor has been in contact with one of these practices. It seems that he was in the Navy back in the Vietnam days and spent some time on a submarine, which is where he contacted this disease. He has been experiencing symptoms for years and had no idea what the cause of these symptoms was until just a few years back. I’m glad that he found out about this condition and is taking action and could possibly get some money to help with the situation. Our Vets deserve all that they can get for what they did for us and our country.
