Now, What?

You've loaded up the family and taken off in your RV or Motorhome for some great times seeing the sights. Nothing better to relieve stress than to hit the road and forget about work, school, anything that is stressful in your life. And having fun with the family is always a great thing.
Now comes the bad news. You're out in the middle of the country when all of a sudden your vehicle breaks down. Oh, no! You get out your cell phone to call for some help, but who should you call? You don't want just any towing or repair service. You want someone that knows the ins and outs of recreational vehicles. You want someone that can help you with your specific problem. And, if the problem cannot be fixed right where you are sitting you most surely want someone that is an expert at motorhome towing.
This is why you should be a member of the Good Sam Emergency Road Service. They have the right people for your vehicle. Good Sam RV ERS uses over 40,000 dispatch facilities across the US and Canada to provide RV towing (travel trailer towing, motorhome towing, auto towing, and 5th wheel towing.) The tow provider closest to the member, with the proper equipment and who is first available for a timely dispatch, would be called to provide service to your breakdown location.
Will you have to pay first and then get reimbursed later? Not in the North America including Alaska and Hawaii, and Canada. Also in Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Mexico Good Sam RV ERS provides Sign and Drive service. All services are prepaid so you don't have to deal with forms or red tape. In Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Mexico, Good Sam RV Emergency Road Service provides towing and roadside dispatch for disablement services rendered up to a maximum of $1,000 for any one-year term of membership.
Let's face facts here. You hit the road to get away from stress of every day life. You don't want stress while you're out touring the countryside! Sign up for the Good Sam's emergency Roadside Assistance and hit the road worry free, just the way it should be.

Why I Play Online

I play online because it is an enjoyable way to pass the day away. I'm not making any money at it but I am making friends and that is better than money, any day.
I had hoped that retirement would be more fun, more active any way. But, sadly, my body is not in agreement with that philosophy and seems quite content to just sit at this computer in my comfortable chair.
Since I'm here looking for ways to make an honest dollar or two to help my poor income playing cards is a great pastime.
If you are able, I encourage you to get outside and find some fun activities to do. If you are not, then playing games online can be just what you need. If nothing else playing games can help to keep the mind sharp.

Thin Is In

Those of you that regularly read this blog must know by now that I think thin is the way to be. Maybe that's because I am as skinny as a stick, maybe it is because obesity is a major health problem these days. But, thin is not always the way to be.
While washing my hair I realized that, even though it is long enough to be past my shoulders, it isn't as thick as it used to be. I guess I got that from my mother whose hair started to get thinner looking the older she got. The bright side is that I am not as thin in the hair department as my stepsons, all of whom seem to have gotten their father's genes and their foreheads are rather high. I might be gray and thinning but I am not going bald lol
So, I went off in search for the answer to what is the best shampoo for thinning hair? I came across this site that reviews products for those of us concerned with both thinning hair and those who are beyond thinning but are starting to lose their hair. Some of these products are designed for both genders which is nice since many products for women do not work at all for men and vice-versa. You have to have the right product for you and your body.
While I don't think I need something as drastic as Rogaine quite yet, it was nice to read the review for it and the other products available and choose one that can actually help me. You see, I don't care if you go bald, I only worry about my hair.
While I know that the older I get the thinner my hair may become I still think, at 59, I am vain enough to want to have the fullest head of hair that I can have. I'm not the handsomest man on the planet so anything that can make me look better is always a plus. And women do seem to like my hair even if it is gray.
So, if you are losing some of your hair or you just want more of it, you might want to look into these products for yourself.

Get Noticed

If you are like me and you have a blog then you know that the best thing your blog can have is visitors. This is also true if you have a business website. You cannot succeed online unless people actually come to look at your site. Visitors first, business second. But just how do you get people to come to your site?
Getting your site into the various search engines on the web is a great way, if not the best way, to get people to visit your site. Unfortunately for most people this is very time consuming and more effort than they have time for. But there is a simple solution. You can submit your website to forty different directories quickly and easily. And the best part is that it is free! Every free web directory that your site gets onto is a plus for you and your site. More sites you are listed on, more visitors and (hopefully) more business and more money in your pocket. It's a win-win situation for you.
So don't delay any longer. get your site some free traffic and get some visitors to your site. remember more visitors equals more possible money in your pocket. Isn't that what you got a website for anyways, to make some money?

Say What?

My brain is fried today. I stayed up way too late playing cards with some friends. I seem to be doing that a lot lately, staying up way too late and sleeping the entire morning away. Can't seem to help myself, I have too much fun.
Sometimes I wonder just what I would do without the internet. Just vegetate in front of the television all day I suppose. What kind of a life would that be? Yuck! I don't even like television that much lol

Looking Back

Reading some of my friends pages on Facebook I came across one that was talking about their high school reunion last summer. They were talking about a guy they knew (and I assume liked a lot) that had changed drastically through the years. I guess we all do, some more so than others.
Whenever I run into people that knew me in high school I am always amazed at their reaction to me. They say I haven't changed a bit! This makes me laugh because I grew a foot taller after graduating, my hair is now 99% gray and I have no teeth (I hate my dentures so I don't wear them). Other than that, nope, I haven't changed a bit. I'm sure what they are talking about is that I was as skinny as a stick in high school-4 foot 8 and 95 pounds soaking wet. Today I am about 5 foot 9 and I weigh roughly 103. I am still as skinny as a stick. But, what about you?
Take a good look at yourself in a mirror. Do you like the way you look these days? If you went to your high school or college reunion would you be the one that everyone is talking about and not in a good way? Have you turned the slim, sleek you into an overweight couch potato? Isn't it time to change that look?
There seem to be more fads and other diets out there than Carter has pills. Which are the best ways to lose weight? Some promise super fast weight loss while others simply try to change the way you look at foods in general. While the former generally gets the most attention from folks, the latter might be the better road to travel. But supplements are the way that most dieters take and there are many, many supplements on the market. Choosing which one is right for you can take some serious time and effort on your part.
Losing weight can be a daily battle. Diet pills promise the world and yet leave you with diet pills that never work! Fads come and go, and they never produce lasting results. But sometimes it seems like there are no other options! But if you want real results, weight loss supplements may be the answer! And by looking at the website linked above you can choose which supplement will be best for you. The research has already been done for you, all you have to do is read the reviews and choose. Simple enough for any couch potato.
Remember though that before you dive head first into the diet supplement waters you should first discuss these things with your doctor. Make sure your body is able to handle anything that you want to take. Safety first is always the right way to go.
Good luck with your weight loss and even better luck impressing old classmates when you go to your alma mater's reunion.

Talking

There was a video on here, but I removed it. It was a professional poker player talking about poker.
I did not want it to seem like I am advocating gambling your money away. We should all leave such things to those who do it for a living as they seem to know what they are doing.
Me, I like playing cards, but only for fun. It helps keep the mind focused and sharp :)

Stronger Better Faster

Remember the Six Million Dollar Man? They rebuilt his body so that he was stronger,better,faster. It was a cute show most of the time and I enjoyed watching him run faster than humanly possible and doing great feats of strength. While the show was pure fiction it wasn't a hard stretch to imagine how much fun it would be to have a stronger body.
Years later came the Steroid Era of baseball and all of the talk about how some players had taken drugs that would make them stronger. Among the steroid talk was also a lot of talk about human growth hormones. Human growth hormones have been shown to be very helpful in cases where people are not growing up to par. While these things work for normal folks I guess that they are not good for professional athletes to take as it might give them an unfair advantage over their opponents.
What about your body? Are you thinking that a little help is a good thing? Thinking maybe a little extra muscle can help you work harder or better or even faster? Wondering how these things even work?
Basically you take a HGH supplement that can force the pituitary gland to produce more HGH again so that your body can increase lean muscle mass, reduce body fat, heal at an enhanced rate, and experience better immune function along with more energy and endurance and even in some cases new hair growth. Sounds good, right? But which one is the right one?
Like any other product that you are going to put into your body you must do some research. But where do you find information about hgh releasers? You want to know what they do, how much do they cost and things like that. Well the information is all on the website. All you have to do is click the link and read. Nice when someone else does all the hard work for you.
Remember though, before you take any of these HGH releasers, or any other drug for that matter, talk to your doctor. I am not a medical professional nor do I know anything about you and your body. Chances are you don't know that much about your body either which is why you need to talk to a doctor before putting anything like this into your system. Make sure your system is working properly first.

Not For Me

It's a lovely day outside, the sun is shining and there is hardly any wind. A perfect day to go outside, but here I sit at my computer instead.
It's one of those days when I wish I was younger again instead of this old guy with a bad back. I miss running around town on days like this.

Burn It Away

Yes, folks, it is another post about being fat. Why? because I am as skinny as a stick and you, if you're like most people, are not. You need to do something about that excess weight. Not only does it hurt your appearance it is very unhealthy. besides, why would anyone want to carry extra weight around? Since you probably haven't been listening to friends, family or your doctor maybe you'll listen to a stranger like me.
Burning away that fat is time consuming and can be expensive too if you keep buying products or diets that do not work for you. You need a fat burner that is the right fit for you and your wallet. You need to invest some time, not just pick up the latest fad. Confused about which Fat Burner is right for you? In an industry that’s notorious for false claims, dangerous and overpriced products, you can’t be too careful or do too much research about fat burners. You've been carrying that weight around for too long but it will wait until after you've done some careful research and considerations.
Look at the bright side here. A little time and energy doing some research and getting the right fat burner for you and a great feeling later when you are a slimmer, much healthier you.
You do not have to be a heavy person. You don't need to keep coming up with lame excuses that no one believes like you aren't fat, you are big boned. Or you aren't fat, you're chubby. fat is fat, period. No matter how you slice it and dice it it is still overweight.
Go look at yourself in a full length mirror. If you turn sideways and that paunch you're carrying around startles or downright scares you it is time to get on a fat burner program.

Ecalifornia?

It appears, judging from the multitude of television commercials that Meg Whitman wants to be the next governor of California. She made the auction site Ebay the success that it is today and thinks that she can do the same thing to California, turning it back into what it once was. Sounds good, perhaps.
I must take some sort of backwards glances though as I read more and more about this campaign. Starting with the Republican spearheading it, one Pete Wilson. Pete is an ex governor of California. He screwed the state up so badly during his years of running California to the point where the Public Employees Retirement System had to loan the state enough money to bail it out. Being a member of PERS I was appalled that the state could just "borrow" money from my retirement system like that. Surely this savvy businesswoman could find a better person to spearhead her campaign.
She says she wants to cut government spending and I am all in favor of that. How about we simply stop paying the elected idiots in Sacramento anything beyond enough money to rent a simple house and buy groceries.. You know, like the rest of the people live. That would save the state enough money right there to bail itself out of the mess the current governor has put us into.
Of course, after Arnold, just about anyone would be an improvement. I just don't see how one Republican turning the state over to another Republican is going to help us. It is time for the Democrats to quit pussyfooting around and start campaigning for Jerry Brown. But first, Jerry must quit sleeping long enough to actually put his hat into the ring. Do it now, Jerry, before it is too late. Ms. Whitman is gaining ground on you way too quickly!

Stop Dreaming

You've put in a hard day at work and all you want to do now is kick back and relax. You plop yourself on the sofa, turn on the television and start to enjoy your favorite shows. Next thing you know, you are sound asleep on that sofa dreaming about a better life for you and your family. Sound familiar? Time to get yourself off that sofa, away from the television and stop dreaming. Make that better life a reality with a better education.
Okay, okay, I know what's coming next. You can't afford it, you have no time for education, family and work come first. I understand all that. But, what if getting that education could fit around your schedule and was more affordable than you realized? Surely that would change your mind enough to make you at least look into it.All you need is the right online university. And, I have found a great one that is designed just for people like you.
Of course you wouldn't want to get educated just anywhere. It would have to be an accredited school, there are too many scam sites online that offer degrees that are worthless. One always has to be careful and do some research before taking the plunge.
Then there is the big decision. What sort of education do you want? How about Business or Health Care? Maybe Information Technology or perhaps you'd like to become a teacher. No problem! Check out what is available at WGU. WGU is Western Governors University, and they have designed their programs for working adults like you. Making them even better is that they charge tuition at a flat rate every six months, so you pay for the time, not the credit hours. Compare that with what other reputable, regionally accredited online universities charge, and you’ll discover WGU tuition is typically half the cost.
So now what is your excuse? A great education that can lead to a much better life, cost that is affordable, schedules for working adults like yourself, it's all waiting for you.
Stop dreaming and start doing. It's as simple as that.

Good And Not So Good

I am discovering more and more as I play what the pros talk about. The cards can, indeed, be running hot for a player and then suddenly freeze you out. And it can all happen in the same tournament.
I'm playing and my pockets are all great cards, Aces and Kings or pocket Jacks. I'm winning great pots and looking good to make the final table and grab some cash. Then, as the blinds increase higher and higher, the pockets get smaller and smaller, twos and sixes and they are unconnected and unsuited and all I am doing is bleeding away my chips wondering if I will even make it to the cash out level and earn a dollar. It's very frustrating.
But, I try to play each hand as best I can no matter what the cards. Sometimes you can get lucky and those low cards show up on the flop, sometimes all you can do is check and if someone bets fold and hope for better cards in the next hand.
Sometimes even good cards can do you in. I have a low stack and get pocket jacks. I go all in hoping that the hand will hold. I'm called by pocket queens and know I am doomed. The flop is all low cards and I am out. In the next tourney I get pocket queens and the flop is all low. I push and get called and re-raised. I go all in feeling confident. The cards are shown and my opponent has pocket jacks. I'm grinning. The turn card is a seven. I'm feeling great. The river card is a jack and I am out! I stare at the screen in disbelief!
I had to laugh after the initial shock wore off. Poker is a strange game and, in spite of what all the pros will tell you, is still a game of luck. There's no way to tell what the next card is going to be, period. Yes, you will see many of the same pros at many final tables and they will say it has nothing to do with luck, but I think they are full of baloney. They are very, very lucky players.
Patience is still the major key to success in poker and the pros generally have lots of that. They need it as their tournaments last for days not hours. In an online tourney you do need to be patient but sometimes you just have to shove and hope.

I am having fun and have met some really nice people from around the globe. And, more importantly, I am learning to have more patience. Now that I am older I find that I am much more impatient with everything than I used to be. Sad to say but I have become my mother in that regard. the world moves to slowly, the computer isn't fast enough to suit me, things like that. I need to learn to be a patient person again.

Make It Longer

I have hair that goes down past my shoulders. I have almost always had long hair whether it was fashionable or not. I'm a hippie and I like my hair to be long. I also like long hair on a woman, there's just something wonderful about long hair. But, some women seem to have trouble with their hair when it is long and they get frustrated and run to the beauty shop to get it cut.
Rather than get a haircut I truly think they should instead try hair vitamins. These vitamins promote fast growing, great looking longer hair! You can have strong, healthy hair growth FAST! These vitamins can help you with less breakage striking, shiny looking hair. Now tell me, who wouldn't want that?
So, skip the beauty shop and salons and get yourself some fantastic looking long hair. Get some hair vitamins that will grow your hair twice as fast and you will look sexier as well as more beautiful.
The site mentioned also has vitamins that can help you with younger looking skin to go along with your new fantastic hair. Such a bargain! Long beautiful hair and less wrinkles.

Starting Over

NoPayPoker support finally answered me. It seems as though they do take umbrage at the three accounts here in this household. So, I have to cancel two of them (gladly) and I can then have my account and will have to start over with a balance of zero dollars. The $25 I made already is gone with the wind :(
I really don't mind that much I just want to be able to play poker on that site! Of the four or five poker sites I have tried out, NoPay is, by far, the best of the bunch. The players there are mostly good players and there are not that many donks. The players there are generally friendly and that's nice too.
So, all I can do now is wait some more and let support do their job in their own, slow, fashion.

Tiling

it's Winter and it's cold. Not the usual time to think about renovating any part of your house unless it is to spruce up the heating so that you can stay warm inside. But, this is a great time actually to think about ceramic tiles.
Right now is the time because sites like the one linked above are having Winter Sales. Everybody loves a sale, especially if it is on something they really want. And, face it, you know you really want to spruce up those floors of yours and they have a great selection of tiles to choose from. They have tiles ranging from ceramic to glass to mosaics so no matter what your tiling tastes may be they are sure to have something that meets your needs.
And the nice thing about products like tiles are that you can store them in the garage until warmer weather comes your way and do the job then. Simple, eh? Save now and do the work whenever it is convenient for you!
So, take a look around your house and think about how much nicer the floors will look with new tiling. then head over to the site and check out all the designs and materials they have and find the ones that are right for you.

Bounced!

Went last night to play poker at NoPayPoker only to discover that my account has been taken away! I almost cried, I like playing there so much. That plus I have been waiting for them to pay me my $25. I went to the website and found the same information as well as I have no money and my payment request is gone :(
I sent a ticket to support asking what did I do wrong and am now waiting for their reply.
Spent a bit of time emailing one of the mods and they had no idea my account had been canceled or why. But in the course of conversation it seems that I may have been banned because of the accounts I set up for Shelly and Esme without, I guess, their prior permission. I had heard other players talk about having more than one account in their household and thought it was okay but I guess not. I guess it also has cost me my $25.
I believe what I will do is wait to see what support tells me then try to beg my way back into the site by having them remove the two extra accounts (which weren't used anyways) and letting them keep my money earned and just let me start all over.
That's how much I love playing on their site!
