It's Cold Outside

It is definitely Winter around here, with people catching colds and the weather not be too friendly looking. Time of year you need some great outer wear to try to keep you warm if you have to be outside. Something along the line of these carhartt coats to keep Winter out.
Carhartt Jackets & Coats are known for comfort, fit, and durable fabrics. Premier fabrics, along with heavy-duty zippers and triple-stitched seams, make these jackets and coats perfect for Winter or any other cold weather. These jackets should not only keep you warm in cold weather, they should last a long, long time as well.
Depending on you these jackets come in styles that have a hood if you need one of those too. that would be me, my ears get cold and my whole body is cold no matter what I am wearing.
Don't let Winter chill you off, grab one of these great jackets and enjoy the outside weather. Play, have fun, stay warm.

Grumpy? Me?

My wife is upset with me, again. Says I am grumpy. Again. She was trying to read me something I could care less about while I was writing a blog post and she said to heck with me being grumpy and not paying attention to her and she left the room.
Came back a little while later asking if I was more congenial. I said I was okay but she left the room again.
I cannot win if I am grumpy or nice! lol
I shall be very happy when she is feeling better so we can go back to normal.

Getting Worse

Looks like the wife is feeling worse rather than better :(
She got lots of rest and sleep yesterday and last night but this morning she is still full of mucus and now has a terrible headache. Not good.
The child is still sounding like she is sick but I did let her leave the house this afternoon to go get some food. Sick or healthy we still have to eat! Sent her out for pizza, hope that will satisfy both of my sick girls.
Waiting for word on one of the Mods too. Yesterday her blood pressure went up sky high and doctor ordered her to hospital. Looks like her kidneys are failing :( Definitely not good.

Retirement

The boss came into the lobby tonight and let the players know that come the end of January she will be gone as Admin and just a regular player. She has had enough and is retiring.
Everyone says they will miss her although some of them players were secretly grinning from ear to ear I know. Their joy will be short-lived though as she has already picked her replacements. Yep, plural. two Mods will become Admins and the players are not going to be all that thrilled at who she has picked I guarantee that much.
She has not told anyone other than those that truly needed to know who the two mods are and that suits me just fine. The less the players know about it the better since it is none of their business anyway.

Sexy Wigs

Remember when you were a small kid and you enjoyed playing dress up? Many adults still play that game having never outgrown the fascination of becoming someone else. Not all of these people are actors, many just do it for the sheer joy and fun of it all, whether that be crossdressing or even role playing with their partners.
One of the ways to play dress up is with a wig. Times are tough though so many people are searching for cheap sexy wigs to play their role games with. Cheap is good, so long as it is the price and not the quality. Quality of wigs on this website is not cheap, rest assured.
Whether you would like to dress up to look like Marilyn Monroe or (God forbid) Lady Gaga, this site has a lot of wigs to choose from to fit just about any person you can dream up, from starlet Cleopatra.
But, why stop with just a wig? The site also offers sexy lingerie and Adult Costumes that range from Alice In Wonderland to Zombies. You say you are not this little petite person? No problem the site also has costumes for larger sized women (translation--normal people).
Go, check out the site, grab some great stuff and then surprise your lover some evening with some role playing fun that they are sure to enjoy as much as any of us did when we were little kids playing dress up.

Grrrrrumpy

My wife has just left the room and gone into the bedroom, closing the door behind her. This is never a good sign for me.
I had just finished telling her that she does not look like she is feeling good, does not sound like she is feeling good and she is not friendly. I also said I think both she and the daughter need to take some Nyquil and go back to bed.
Now she left and is hiding in the bedroom. Looks like I better get off this computer for a few minutes and go soothe some ruffled feathers.
OOPS

Welding Supplies

If you are a welder or you are thinking about becoming a handyman welder to fix things in and around your house then you are going to need welding supplies. The proper equipment is a must for any type of repair job and welding is no exception to that rule.
Whether you are in need of a safety helmet to prevent the flame or sparks to hit your face or simply safety vests and gloves to keep you safe, this website has a lot of choices for welders.
Of course they also have big equipment like this :



This piece of equipment is the Miller Millermatic 211 All-In-One MIG Welder w/ Auto Set and MVP Plug w/ Cart(120/230 V). From the looks of it, if you cannot weld with that thing you probably should take up another craft.
So, if you like to weld then you owe it to yourself to check out all the goodies that this website has to offer to welders. you are sure to find the equipment that you need to do an excellent welding job, whether it is for yourself around the home or at work making money as a welder.

Now It's Winter

Yes, the calendar says Winter started a few days back. It always says when Winter starts, that is what calendars are for.
But, in my house I know that Winter is truly here, both of my girls are sick with a cold. Ugh.
Bad thing is that my wife thinks she might be better off sleeping in a recliner in the living room so that she does not pass the cold on to me. She's scared I will get sick and go back to the hospital. I hope that doesn't happen :(
Hope all of you are feeling healthy. Stay warm and avoid people that are coughing and sneezing!

Party Time

It's the holiday season still and many folks are preparing for another party to celebrate the New Year. Of course if you are one of these people I hope you have fun. I also hope that your house is clean so people will not talk badly about you afterwards. So, now that I have put that thought into your head, look down at that carpet. When is the last time you cleaned that?
If you are lucky enough to live in Raleigh, North Carolina or in that vicinity you can use carpet cleaning raleigh nc to help you have the best looking carpet in town for your New year's Eve party as well as any other get together you may have at your house.
Just because you and your family are used to how the place looks does not mean that your guests will be as kind. They may not say anything to you about it but they will certainly mention it to your friends, their friends and anyone else that they can and you surely do not want that to happen.
So, take a good look at that carpet. Is it stained? Does it have way too much tracking on it? Wouldn't it look a thousand percent better if it were clean? Yes, of course it would look better!
So, while making those big preparations for your get together call the folks that can clean your carpet and make it a topic of good conversation, not bad.

Robots That Play?

One of the things that seems to have plagued the gaming industry online all through the years is "bots", a software system that allows people to play games, win money and never even be on their computer. they can be at work, at school, grocery shopping, anywhere. Meanwhile the "bot" is at their home playing online. I have even heard people say that they had more than one "bot" playing at same time as their other "bot". Basically they cheated game sites out of lots and lots of money until they were caught.
I do not understand why anyone would do this. If you are caught the least that would happen is that you lose whatever money you made at the time. the worst i would imagine is that, if the company had already paid you money then they could essentially take you to court and retrieve their money and/or send you to jail for fraud.
No way I can see that playing with a "bot" is worth going to jail for. No amount of ill gotten gain is worth that, no matter what your circumstances. Well, maybe if you were homeless and starving, then jail might start to look okay lol

Term Life Insurance

Everyone knows there is such a thing as Life Insurance, we see ads for it everywhere online and on television and in magazines. But, what is term life insurance anyways?
I went searching and found this website definition that says it is the cheapest and most simple of life insurance policies there is. Term life insurance is temporary, meaning that a policy of term life insurance provides coverage for only a certain number of years. Different insurance companies allow you to choose different years that your policy will be for. That seems okay, but, then you have to wonder, how does it work?
A standard term life insurance policy guarantees fixed premiums. That means that the size of payments made to the life insurance company does not change over time. That part is good because nobody likes payments that go up over time. A standard term life insurance policy guarantees a fixed death benefit. That means that the death benefit will be of a certain amount regardless of how long the policy has been in force. This is important because, as we all know, we do not know when our time on Earth will end. So, if they pay the same amount at the beginning of the policy and the middle and the end, that's a benefit in itself.
So, now that you understand the pluses of term life insurance, you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to check out what you can get for yourself. Click the link above and wander around the website, read all their information and then find an insurance policy that is perfect for you.

Long Game

Yesterday afternoon I popped in to the game lobby for a few minutes to see what was going on with the chat. I was not planning on playing just a fast look and gone. All the chat was about the big game to celebrate five years of nopay and how they were all looking forward to trying to get a large piece of the prizepool which was $2500. I could understand their wishes.
I looked at the game and saw that the starting stack of chips was ten thousand and players could add up to fifty thousand more. This made me chuckle, that's a lot of chips to play with!
Then I thought, just for a lark i would join that game and not add any extra chips, give myself a little exercise in how far could I go without that extra edge. I started off poorly, lost almost all of my chips on 2 pair against their straight. I was looking at the door there with only 2500 chips left at a table where everyone else had humungous amounts of chips.Then something wonderful happened.
The site crashed! Support had to reboot the servers and when they did that the game sort of started over. Instead of the 300-600 chip blinds, things went back to 30-60. I could actually afford to play a few more hands! And, I made the best of that advantage, doubling up three or four times and starting to get a normal looking stack again.
Four hours and fifteen minutes or so later I left the game. I left in sixth place out of 374 players that started and was rewarded with $1000 for the game and $100 for a player that I took out earning their bounty.
It was a lot of fun but was way too long of a game. The other bummer is that that is not real dollars, I could use a thousand dollars in my wallet any day of the year.

Awards

Seems like there are awards for everything in the entertainment industry these days. From the Oscars to the People's Choice to the adult movie industry everywhere you look there is an award. That's all fine and dandy for those people but what about regular people like you and I? How about awards for us?
If you have done something wonderful and special or you know someone that has and wish to award them, how about showing appreciation for the deeds with award plaques? Custom engraved you can show off to the world you revolve in just how special things are!
Whether you want an old fashioned plaque made of wood or a new fangled one made of clear acrylic, there is a plaque that is bound to be right for you.
The company offers a wizard to walk you through the process of making your plaque then shows you a proof of just how the plaque will look before you actually order it. Then, once you are happy and placed the order the company will make the plaque and ship it out the next business day. Now, that in itself is special. they should get an award for speed!
Never done anything special but always meant to? make yourself a plaque showing yourself to be the world's greatest procrastinator!

Survived It

It has been a long and tedious year with health problems as well as the usual money troubles but Christmas came and went and I survived another one.
My wife was very happy with her gift of an MP3 player that can gold a gazillion songs as well as allow her to hear audiobooks. Points for me!
the daughter was also very happy with her gift of a special Barbie doll that has some connection to a site she uses called Stardolls. Points for me!
I also got a chance to talk to two of my sons that live far away so that was nice too. I love hearing from my kids as any parent should.
I got lots of stuff and was a happy camper myself. The one gift I asked for I am using at this moment, a new keyboard for my computer. the other one was getting worn out and tired, somewhat like the old man using it lol
I hope all of you had a safe and merry Christmas and are looking forward to the new year coming quickly.

Good News

Still did not get the store ad in the mail but I did get it through an email. The item that I want is back on sale at a lower price. Thank the Lord!
Now all I have to do is hope and pray that tomorrow morning I can get myself out of bed early and have the strength to get dressed and get my taxi man to take me to the store where I hope they have the item!
If they don't have the item I will be sorely disappointed.

Outdoor Entertainment

Whether you are lucky enough to live in a always sunny place or you are living where the snow needs to be shoveled all the time there is always a time when you are outside the house working in your yard or driveway. This work would be so much more fun if you just had some music to listen to.
Of course you don't want to ruin your speakers while you are outside especially if you are the unlucky one outside shoveling snow. What you really need is portable speakers that are weatherized. Then you can shovel or rake or mow all the while bee-bopping along to your favorite tunes. You know the work will go faster that way!
While you are shopping for those outdoor speakers why not pick up one of these Headrush 4GB Video MP3 players? Then if you get tired of listening to music you can listen to videos or, if taking a break from the work you can relax and watch the videos while the sound comes out of those great speakers you bought!
Yard chores, they do not have to be tedious any more!

Absolutely Correct

No explanation needed:


North Carolina Law

If you reside in North Carolina and need a lawyer, where can you turn? Especially if you need a business lawyer raleigh nc? How about the firm of Everett Gaskins Hancock LLP which serves clients in Raleigh?
This firm covers all types of law from Administrative law to Zoning and Land Use law. They cover just about any and all of the legal needs you can come up with.
I have to admit I really like their principles as set forth on their website:

Conduct yourself personally and professionally consistent with the highest ethical standards - there is no substitute for integrity.
If you undertake to represent a client, do so only if you can provide quality legal services expeditiously and with enthusiasm, and in the most economical way for the client. That is, provide both quality and value.
Unless the matter is wholly or partially pro bono, expect fair payment from each client, but never put money as the top priority either in an individual matter or in determining the direction of the firm.
Put the interests of our clients first, then the interests of the staff, and lastly the interests of the attorneys.
Balance work, family, fun, and service to the community. In everything you do, try to make a difference.
The firm is a team, and every member of the team is important. Accord every member of the team respect and dignity. Take time to listen, learn and mentor.
Select for the team only those who have exceptional ability and are pleasant to work with, because the practice of law should be both rewarding and enjoyable for all involved.
Be well managed and innovative, and be governed by democratic principles.
Never grow just to be big: the goal is to be the best, not the biggest.
Conduct yourself with civility towards all and with loyalty to each and every team member.
You need a lawyer or maybe just some law advice? These are the people that can help! You can contact them online or by calling them on the telephone at 919-755-0025. Want to see them face to face? Go to The Historic Briggs Hardware Building 220 Fayetteville Street, Suite 300 Raleigh.

Crazy Mail

Have you ever noticed that when you are dead broke and cannot shop the sales mailings are sitting at your doorstop just taunting you? But when you do have money to shop and gifts to buy the mail is as slow as a snail getting to your door.
I am waiting anxiously for a certain store circular to get here, praying that the item I want to buy my wife for Christmas is on sale and cheaper than it has been since Christmas is fast approaching.
If it isn't on sale I am going to have to rethink my gift for her and that will not make me happy at all. I want her gift to be something very, very special! I did not want her gift to be a last minute decision that will please her because everything I buy her makes her happy, I wanted her to be ecstatic instead.
Come on mailman, where the heck are you???

Get Money For Business

Okay so the economy is down, down, down and you are wondering how you could perhaps expand your business to make some money but where do you go to get help? Perhaps you should start by looking at unsecured small business loans as a starting point.
Stimulus Funding can assist you with your expansion dreams or maybe just stabilizing your business until things improve.
The requirements are relatively simple. You must have been in business over six months time, you must process Visa and Mastercard for your customers and that credit card amount must be over five thousand dollars per month. Simple.
Depending upon how much credit card sales per month you have the company can loan you up to $250,000 within 72 hours of your application.
To pay them back the loan they deduct a percentage of your credit card sales until the loan is paid back. Again, simple.
If you need money for your business then you need to investigate this offer and get it.Don't just let your business sit and stagnate, grow it bigger.

Cash Out?

A while back I joined this PTC site called 2 dollar click. One more PTC couldn't hurt me, right? It says they pay 2 dollars for every ad that you look at so I thought why not. Cash out minimum was $1000 which is a lot of money to think about passing on if they pay!
Today I reached the payout amount and have requested the payout sent to my PayPal account. Whoo-hoo!
Now comes the waiting to see if they actually pay me or I wasted my time. If I wasted time it is okay. But I would really love that payout :)

Here is the link if any of you would like to join http://www.twodollarclick.com/index.php?ref=fwidman

Pool Safety

If you live in the Las Vegas or Henderson area of Nevada then you may have found yourself a lovely home with a swimming pool. The weather in that part of the country is almost always lovely with plenty of sunshine and there are a lot of homes with swimming pools.
Of course with these lovely swimming pools comes other concerns such as cleaning it and maintaining the filters and such as well as availing yourself of companies like pool fence las vegas.
If you have a swimming pool and you have children (the two often go together you know) then you must concern yourself with pool safety. This is especially true if you have young children who tend to wander and may accidentally fall into the pool. This is why you need a safety fence or netting to help.And, Pool Guard can be of valuable assistance in helping you with these products.
You don't live in Nevada? No problem. Pool Guard has other locations that can help you where you do live. So, check out the website and see what they have to offer. Then give them a call so that a representative can fully explain everything you need to know and have to keep your pool safe.

Posting Fool Today

And tomorrow looks to be about the same! Hope I do not bore anyone to tears or anything but I have things that I must do, I'm sure you all understand.
In the midst of all this stuff I must do is still the task of buying a Christmas present for my wife. I am sorely disappointed that the prices for what I wanted to give her have skyrocketed out of my reach. Serves me right though for waiting so long.
I normally have all my shopping done early because I shopped online mostly at Ebay using my PayPal money. Quick and easy, shop,buy,wait for delivery. But not this year.
Because I have no bank account PayPal says I have reached my spending limit through the years and refuses to let me do anything with my money other than request a check.
Nice little catch-22 there, a check for a man without a bank account. However I have solved that part, the place where I cash my retirement check every month has gladly allowed me to cash checks from PayPal as well.
So, I have cash to shop with I just need to get out of the house once I find the gift I wish to buy her, run in the store and get it, run back out to the cab and get back home and back onto the oxygen.
And, I will find her gift!!!

Tech Careers

The new year is fast approaching and most minds are on their New Years Eve plans and which party they will go to. But this time of year is also a good time to think about Technical Recruiting Jobs.
I found this site to be very interesting and simple to use. First you click on your state or a state that you would like to work in. Then you click on a city and see what jobs are available. They may not be in that precise city but they will be nearby.
For instance I clicked on my city and found several jobs that are available. I clicked on a trainee position and it came up with a job in a city that isn't mine but is roughly an hour away by car. Since many of the people that live here commute, that makes sense to post that job for my city.
A new year can be a great time to start fresh with a new job or even a new location. Tired of your dead end job but didn't know where to turn to find a new one? Well, now you know where to start. Check out all the positions available and get set for a bright new year and career. Then you can think about where you will be at midnight January 1,2012.

Frustrating

Last night my daughter worked at the Walmart across town ringing the bell for Salvation Army. Not that far away but too far to be walking home late in the evening. Her mother told her on the phone to go to the nearest bus stop and catch the number 11 bus and get off about 2 miles from the house and Mom will meet her. Simple, yes? Simple, no.
The girl went to the nearest bus stop and took the number 12 bus and went to the City park. The park is also about 2 miles from home but in the completely opposite direction of where Mom went! Mom is stuck in one place, the girl in the other.
So, the girl takes the number 11 bus from the city park, travels all over town, and finally gets to where she should have been an hour or more earlier. Thankfully there was a store where Mom was that stayed open late!
My daughter lives in her own little la la land more often than not and usually has no clue where she is when she is out of the neighborhood. I fear this one may never grow up :(

Prom Time Already

I know it is almost Christmas and only December. But I also know that if you have a young lady in your house it soon will be time for them to be thinking about who they are going to the prom with and what will she wear.
For parents these questions are more importantly, who is this young man and how much is this dress going to cost me? That last one is most important in these tough economic times. But, fear not, I have a great site for you to check out.
If you need a prom dress or perhaps you just want a fancy one for yourself then you need to investigate Sherri Hill at TJFormal.com. They have some fabulous looking dresses on sale there, like this beauty:



Now is a great time to look at these prom dresses and accessories like shoes as well as to see just how much they cost so you can order them now and worry about the boy that will take your young lady to the prom later.

Some Day

Some day my child will learn her bedroom does NOT have to look like a garbage dump.

Some day my child will learn how to follow directions

Some day my child will learn how to cook by not running into the living room abd watch tv while the food is burning

Some day my child will learn how to cook beef patties in some form other than rare or raw

Some day my child will learn where she is when she is outside the house

Some day my child will learn that she does NOT know everything

Some day my child will learn her life is just beginning

After all she is only twenty!

Incontinence Products

We've pretty much all seen commercials on television for adult diapers and drugs that are supposed to help with that constant running to the bathroom and most have chuckled at them but, rest assured, these incontinence products are no laughing matter.
There is nothing more horrendous from a personal standpoint than being out and about running here and there shopping and suddenly finding yourself losing control of your bodily functions and soiling yourself. Ugh! I know this is true because it has happened to me a couple of times. No bathrooms available and no bushes and privacy? Yikes!
With a diaper one is still bound to be embarrassed but not as embarrassed as you would be without something other than your underwear trying to hold that mess in. And, if you are an older person such as myself you may not be embarrassed because it is something that happens more to us than any other ages.
If you suffer from incontinence problems than please check out the products on the website and save yourself any embarrassment at all. While you are there check out the other goods too, like disposable gloves and items that can help seniors like walkers and seat lifts. Getting older does not have to be all that bad.

Achmed Christmas Carols

Bar Code

Nope, that isn't slang for your tab at the local tavern, it is something that we all see constantly every time we go shopping. Take your items to the checkout counter and the cashier scans them and you pay. Simple, fast, convenient. This is the way business should be.
If you have a business then you too should have a barcode scanner. Whether it is for customers checking out at the cash register or inventory control or both, you need one of these scanners.
These scanners have come a ways since they first appeared, these days these scanners can be portable, making inventory much simpler to perform. Saving time is always a good thing in business as time truly is money. They also come in various ways, such as perfect for a salon or perfect for a restaurant. You surely do not want something that will not work for your particular business.
So, check out all the scanners and software available on the website. Find the products that fit your business and get into saving time and money.

Nice Ad

Seaweed Products

Seems like everything about the ocean is healthy. Fish is supposed to be brain food and fish oils are good for the skin and digestive systems. Even the sea air seems healthy when you are at the ocean. And of course the waves coming in and out are not only relaxing they can relieve stress quickly.
Kelp is supposed to be a healthy food although I have never tried it as is seaweed. But I don't want to eat seaweed either. However seaweed can be useful in other ways as can be seen by checking out seaweed products from seaweedbathco.
There are a number of seaweed products for the bath, to relax you as well as take away toxins that might be in your skin. They also have seaweed shampoos and conditioners as well as skin care products. Sounds much healthier than actually eating seaweed although I am sure that the creatures that live in the ocean think seaweed is a great meal.
Check out the different products made from seaweed and see for yourself if they are not better for you than the ordinary soaps and such that you are using now.

Winter? Ugh!

Cold and dreary here in the desert today. It has been raining off and on all morning. I checked the weather service and they are calling for temps into the low 20's for tonight with the chance of snow. Ugh!
I'm sure many people here will be thrilled if it snows but I am not one of them. Snow is nice to look at, in pictures lol
Daughter just got a phone call from a friend who is in the next town over and the friend says some snow has fallen over there. Oh, goodie. It can stay there lol
I am always cold at this time of year and I really do not need snow :(

It Figures

Have had my lovely wife's Christmas present planned for a while now, been seeing the item at great prices when I didn't have the money for it. Now I am running out of time and, of course, the prices have skyrocketed! It figures!
Now I must think of something and soon. It is already the tenth of December, only 2 weeks left to figure out what to buy her, find a day when I have the stamina to do it and get her present. God help me!
I don't often miss being able to run out and shop but when it comes time for present buying I miss that ability a lot. It stinks to get old and decrepit :(

Thrust

If you are a handyman or a do it yourself kind of person chances are good that you work around a variety of machines. You also know that machines break down from time to time, usually when you need them the most. And it is often just something simply has worn out, like thrust bearings.
Whenever a machine has moving parts, be it an Rolls Royce automobile or a Hoover Vacuum cleaner to a power drill, things break. It is a fact of life that we all accept, and many people just repair these machines and move on with Life. If you need a thrust bearing though, where do you find this?
Reid Supply has all types covered including ball thrust bearings and needle roller thrust bearings, plus a selection of accessories to help. They have a stock of 180 different products so the one that you need is bound to be in there. And, since they have been in business over sixty years, you know it is a company that you can trust.
Don't let your machinery sit around broken and idle, check out the parts at Reid Supply and fix it so you can get back to the business of handyman things.

How Sad

While discussing a Barbie doll my 20 year old wants for Christmas she wondered if I knew where they come from. I know she meant what stores are selling them but I gave her this instead "Probably from China" and I laughed.
I then said, you know, there was a time when things were actually made here in the United States. Her reply makes me sad, not for me per se, but for all of the people in America that are young like her...
"Get over it, hippie!"
