If you are one of those that celebrate the day, then Happy Easter to you. Enjoy the Easter egg hunts with children and all of the candy and chocolate eating.
Please don't forget the reason for the day though, that would be terrible. Sometimes it seems as if Easter has turned into Christmas. Too much junk and not enough celebrating Jesus Christ.
So, whatever your plans, enjoy the day but please take a moment to bow your head.

Looking Old?
I admit it, I am an old man. I am 59 and, some days, feel 90. I'm sure that, underneath my beard, there is an old and wrinkled face. This does not bother me, I've lived what some would consider a hard life but I am a happy man so Life has not been that unkind to me. But, I know that there are a lot of people out there that do care about their looks.
They don't want to look their age, they want to look younger. So they use a variety of products to accomplish this looking younger feat, including creams that will help get rid of the wrinkles that come with age. As a nation, Americans are obsessed with looking younger, feeling healthier and being their best. This strikes me as humorous since so many of us are out of shape, overweight and just look like normal folks for our ages. Perhaps this is why weight loss products and cosmetics products make up billion dollar industries.
Assuming that you are one of the millions that wishes to get rid of your wrinkles you have to find the moisturizing face cream that will work best for you. You try to do the research yourself but get clogged up with web sites filled with products that look right but promise nothing more than they will take your money and smile on the way to the bank. This is not good at all.
But there is a website out there that has done the research for you. They have assembled a list of the products they have found that will do the job you want them to do. All you have to do is choose the one that fits your skin and your pocketbook. Simple, no?
Why waste your time and get stressed out, causing more wrinkles I'm sure, when the work has been done for you? Here is how they have come to their conclusions:
So, pick the one that is right for you, use it and look younger. After all, isn't that what you truly want? Of course it is.

Almost time
Just another day or two and the regular baseball season will have started. I'm excited! I love watching baseball and I enjoy reading about the players.
I am looking forward to the new season and seeing if my poor team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, can finally have a winning season and stop the losing streak! Hopefully the management will not mess around this year but I'm sure that is just wishful thinking on my part.
They put all the pieces together then try their best to re-arrange the puzzle and end up wondering why it didn't work. One day, fans hope and pray, they'll figure it all out. When something works, why fix it? Baseball is sometimes like software, people always feel the need to tweak it. Wish they'd leave things be.
I hope the players will simply go out on the field and have fun. This is what they have been dreaming of doing since they were kids in Little League. They need to realize that they are as good as anyone else on any other team. They also need to realize that they have no pressure whatsoever. None of the so called experts expect the Pirates to do anything this year, or any year actually, so why stress out? Take the field and have fun. Just relax and play your position to the best of your abilities.
The bottom line, for me, is that no matter what happens, win or lose, brilliant or suck big time, you still will be my favorite baseball team. Even though I have spent most of my life living in Dodgers territory, I have always been and will always be a Pirates fan.
So, as the new season gets ready to start I say... LET'S GO BUCS!!!!

Zits Are The Pits
Having acne is a serious problem. Don't think so? Ask any teenager. Or worse, ask anyone that is an adult that has them. They'll tell you, in uncertain terms, how awful having pimples can be.
The problem with acne cleansers though is that they create problems of their own at times. They may help you get rid of the pimples but they can leave your skin dry and harsh. Nobody wants dry skin on their face, that's as bad as having zits.
So, how do you find the best acne cleanser? Like anything else, you turn to the internet to do some research. This is especially true if you are a teenager since we all know that with acne you have no social life to worry about and you have lots of time on your hands to do research.
If you do have some sort of a life that is hectic, work, school, family, you don't have tons of time to research acne cleansers or anything else. You're in luck though as AcneCleansers.org has already spent hours doing the research for you.
What you have to do is look at the products they've researched and pick the one that will best suit you and your pocketbook. Can't get much simpler than that.
So, go to their website, find a great cleanser and get rid of those acne pimples. Get on with Life.

Best Laid Plans
The plan was very simple. I was going to play my games earlier than usual and then get to bed at a decent hour. I did play my games early, but the last part of the plan was not to be.
I play on a site that has a chat lobby in it. The lobby is moderated by volunteers to ensure that the site rules are followed, there is no fighting,arguing, flaming, whatever. As I was about to say good night to all the folks on there I got several messages from the regular moderator asking me if I could spend more time in the lobby. He is trying to get the head mod to make me a mod too as I am often there when he is and there used to be two mods, now it's only him.
His problem is that he needs to get some rest, as he has a child to feed and care for and cannot always be in the lobby looking after things. I can understand that, I've been a parent.
So, instead of getting to bed at midnight or close to it, I was up until 3 a.m. when the next mod showed up for her scheduled three hours. I'm sure it was not making my wife all that happy but I think she was more understanding about it than usual.
I hope that they do make me a mod so I can help the site out. I'll worry about my wife and her reaction when the time comes.
In the meantime I suppose I shouldn't make any plans set in stone.

Get The Home Fires Burning
Okay, I know, I know. It's Spring now and the weather is turning warmer. It is here in the desert anyway. But, the nights are still not all that warm and if the wind is blowing (which is normal for this time of year) it can be downright cold! Certainly would be nice to get warm hanging around a beautiful fireplace all lit up and burning brightly.
And, because the Winter is officially over (the calendar says so) now is a great time to buy a fireplace or, if you're one of those that likes to hang around the patio at night, then you should consider checking out the outdoor fireplaces. Indoor or out, it's time for the Winter Deals at this fireplace site. You can get a great fireplace for warmth and save some of that cold hard cash of yours. It's a win-win situation.
If you're like me and you rent your living space and you'd like a fireplace, they have some great free standing ones too. I personally like this one:
You can have a fireplace and, should you move, you can take the fireplace with you. How cool is that? And, here is the description of the above fireplace:
The nice thing is that, if you just want to enjoy the fireplace without the extra heat you can do that. Just snuggle up with your lover and enjoy the flames. Nice and romantic.
And, you can move some of the fireplaces, like the one I showed above, from room to room or even outdoors to the patio area if you like. But, these fireplaces are affordable so you may wish to buy more than one. And, with the Winter Deals going on now, free shipping and no sales tax (outside of AL) you just can't beat these deals.
You owe it to yourself to go and check them out today. Get those home fires burning.

Up Too Late
Okay, I admit it, I am staying up way too late. I know this because my lovely wife tells me this all the time. Last night she even grumbled that she is beginning to be jealous of my late night game playing. That's not good!
I was up rather late last night, that is the truth. I went to bed at 4 a.m. but, and I think it was a valid excuse, I had good reason to stay up so late.
I was playing games. I was playing games because I was trying to kill time until almost 4 a.m. when someone had food on the stove of their Cafe World that would be ready to be served at almost 4 a.m. See? It wasn't my fault!
Her answer to all this? Next time just let the food spoil! What??? Let virtual food go bad? How could anyone live with the consequences of such an action? What kind of game player is my wife, anyway?
So, I shall do what she asks. Not because I like the idea of rotted food in her Cafe but simply because I like having a happy wife in the bed next to me.
