What can be causing these terrible headaches?

When we get settled in Houston, one of the first things I have to do is find the best Houston migraine doctor in the area. Migraines have plagued my life for the past twenty years, and the past couple of years they seem to be getting worse. I’ve tried plenty of different medicines, relaxation techniques, changing my diet, getting more sleep, but still the migraines come almost every day. Do you ever get sick and tired of being sick and tired? I sure do!

Memory Foam Dogs Beds

I really wish that I had known about the memory foam dogs beds that are on today’s market a few years ago when our aging dog Rags was having a difficult time moving around due to old age. I’m sure that she was suffering from some type of arthritis and it broke our heart when in her last days with us that she would barely have the strength to get up to do her business by going out the doggy door that we installed just for that reason. If I had known about these orthopedic dog beds I certainly would have supplied Rags with one the moment she looked like she needed one.

These memory foam dog beds are a great idea for our four legged canine friends. If and when we get another dog I will make sure that we have one of these around when we need it. I know that memory foam beds do wonders for people so it only makes sense that our pets would benefit from all that they have to offer for them.

Packrat wife did good this time

Posted on January 12th, 2012 by Jerry under Friends/Family, Health, Home and garden, Life, Opinion, Shopping, Technology and gadgets.

My wife is a packrat. Not as bad as the television show “The Hoarders” but there are a lot of items filling up our storage space in the basement. From time to time I tell her that it bothers me that the space is so full, but she just reminds me that she doesn’t have the time or energy to organize it any better than it is. She claims that she has organized it (she has) and other people (meaning me) go down there and move things around and mess it up. (Yes, she’s right) and she’s tired of swimming upstream.

Well, when my mother took ill and we needed to take care of her for a couple of weeks last fall, the old baby monitors that we used when our kids were babies were quickly located (from their spot in the basement) and put to good use for us to be able to keep an ear out for Mom’s calls when she needed something. I have to admit, my wife did good this time.

Cleaning out the medicine cabinet

Posted on December 27th, 2011 by Jerry under Friends/Family, Health, Life.

Earlier today I told my wife that I could not find any antacids and asked her to look for some for me. She opened up the medicine cabinet and a bunch of bottles fell out onto the counter top. Seems as if people (who shall remain unnamed) have been just randomly shoving bottles in the cabinet without any regard for organization. So my wife took that as a sign to start sorting through the bottles and throwing away the expired bottles. I was amazed at how many bottles of weight loss pills and vitamins she threw away. Once she finished, there was plenty of space in the medicine cabinet AND I got my antacids too!

International Movers

Posted on December 15th, 2011 by Jerry under Business, Friends/Family, Health, Opinion, Travel.

One of the most stressful things that a person can encounter in life is moving. I remember when we moved into this place I promised myself that this would be the last time I ever had to deal with moving, at least that is the plan for now. My brother on the other hand in now checking into Overseas Moving companies that will get all of his, his wife’s and kids belongings over to Italy safe and sound due to the health concerns of his father and mother-in-law who still live over there.

I have never had to deal with International Shipping, so I really can’t offer them any assistance, advice or guidance on that subject, but I can help in other ways while they attempt to get ready for their big move. Looks like I’ll be helping them sort, trash, give a way, sell and pack up all of their belongings up until the International Movers take over and start doing their part. At least this isn’t going to start happening until some time in April. Hopefully the weather won’t be so harsh, nothing worse than moving during the winter months.
