There is a big push going on right now between, State Farm, Progressive, Geico, Allstate and Nationwide Insurance. The TV is flooded by their wacky and unusual commercials for home, auto and life insurance. Geico almost always gets me going, but some of them are totally off the wall! Let the insurance wars begin…..
I do enjoy watching The Comedy Channel. Most of the time they have some really good shows on. A good laugh is always good for the soul. Last night I was channel surfing and came across the comedian Sinbad’s newest gig and it was great. He has been gone for a while and is just coming back and doing a good job at it I’d say.
I have several friends that belong to the local Elks lodge in town and they have been trying for years to get me to join and become a full time member of their lodge. They are holding a meeting tonight and I have been asked to come and see what they are all about. Guess I’ll go, just won’t make any commitments just yet.
If you ask the normal person about the majority of computer questions, like what is colocation or managed hosting, I do believe that most wouldn’t have a clue as to what you are referring to. Those of us who work on computers for a living have access to some type of IT support that know all that there is to know about the workings of computers inside and out.
I’d like to believe that most of us know a bit about web hosting. There are a good amount of web hosting available. And I’m glad to hear that several are doing what they can in order to become as green as possible. So if you are looking into web hosting I would encourage you to check out the different options out there. The Internet is a great tool to find the perfect match for you.
Be nice to your IT they are important people, too bad you can’t take them home with you.
My wife has been talking about taking a course in cad drawing. She spent a large part of her adult life drafting work orders for the telephone company and she really enjoyed doing that type of work. And she says that she would really like to do that type of work again. But most of the job wanted ads for that type of work indicate that the succesful candidate will have experience in cad.
I’ve never met anyone with a greener thumb than my own mother. I never really paid that much attention to the house and the yard that we grew up in back then. I mean I knew that we had a nice yard and that the neighbors were always complimenting her on her landscaping ideas and her green thumb, but it was still just a yard to a kid like me that always had to be moving and on the go, usually on my bicycle back then.
We had two very nice outdoor planters at the end of the front walk way that my mother always managed to have something colorful and alive growing in them all year round. I’ve never seen another outddor planter that looks remotely close to them and my mother doesn’t remember where she got them or what even happened to them after we all grew up and left home. My folks were back on their own in a large empty house that they eventually sold and moved across town and down sized a bit.
My mother still likes her outside work, but she has a hard time with the extreme heat that we have all been experiencing this summer. She has focused more on the inside of the house this year rather than the yard and the gardens. She found some nice indoor planters on the Internet that she has placed in various locations around the place and it looks real good. Everything is blooming and it helps the house smell real good. Plants are a good healthy thing to have in your home.
I didn’t get any part of my mother’s green thumb. I have jut the one indoor planter that I received as a Christmas gift years ago. I’ve tried to grow things in and have long since given up and just use it for an ash tray for visiting smokers that end up in the garage getting their nicotine fix on.
The house that I grew up in had Ceiling Fans in just about every room. My mother insisted that my father install them in each bedroom, the dining room, the kitchen, the den and the living room when they first purchased and moved in the place back in the 60′s. When I moved out of my parents house and went out on my own I didn’t consider that I’d be sleeping in a room without the circulation that I’d grown accustomed to all of my life. A Ceiling Fan makes a big difference in my night’s sleep. Not only is the circulation important, but the cool breeze and the slight white noise that it provides is all included in my total “sleep package” if you will. If I plan on sleeping away from home I certainly can’t be toting a Ceiling Fan around with me but I do take a good sized box fan that seems to do the trick most of the time.
The Ceiling Fan that is currently in my master bedroom has been making some pretty freaky noises the past couple of weeks, I just keep forgetting about it during the day and by the time I hear the darn thing, I’m ready for bed and keep putting it off time and time again. So today I’m spending a bit of time online and am researching different types of Ceiling Fans and I think I’ve found the perfect one at the Hansen Wholesale Ceiling Fans website of hansenwholesale.com. They have a decent selection of Eco Fans in an effort to offer green products in today’s every growing greener demanding consumers. Right now with the promo code of Promo Code: N932502530 they will pay the tax on your order, plus they offer free shipping.

I was very disturbed today when I went into my local drugstore to buy some vitamins and saw that the expiration date on the bottle I picked up was October of 2008! I brought that bottle to the attention of the store manager, and she thanked me for bringing it to her attention and said she’d take care of it. I decided to spot check a few other items at the store while I was there because I was curious to see if that was an isolated accident. Sad to say that I found quite a few things that had passed the expiration date. I guess I’ll be checking expiration dates on more things that I buy in the future!
All the information is there to see at http://www.oas.samhsa.gov/ where all the Substance Abuse and Mental Health statistics that are showing us that there is a rise for the need of good drug rehabilitation programs. Of course there are various and numerous reasons that factor the increased need for addiction treatment centers. I do believe that this totally messed up economy is making us all crazy. It’s taking it’s toll on the general public, most of which see no indication of any type of light at the end of any tunnel that is going to pull us out of this crisis, no wonder we are getting addiction issues that are spiraling out of control.
It’s good to know that more attention is being paid to substance and mental health issues. There are some nice drug rehab centers and alcohol rehab centers to be found online. Using the Internet makes choosing the right treatment plans a much easier task to take on. There is a lot of information out there, and it does take time to weed through a ton of irrelevant pages and such nonsense, but it still is a valuable tool and should be utilized for all that it’s worth when you can. Can’t imagine life without Internet access all though I know that there is still a huge population that doesn’t have access for one reason or another. I do know that Bill Gates is doing an awesome job in helping folks hop on to the World Wide Web with all of his donations of computers and supplies.
I was watching an interesting television show about counterfeiting. Not counterfeiting money, but counterfeiting brand name fashion designs. I can’t remember the famous names, except for Gucci, but the show made some interesting points about the hidden dangers of counterfeit goods. Some of the counterfeit goods contain harmful materials in them! I wonder how many people have bought counterfeit goods and ended up getting sick from them.
