Would you?

The other night I got an email showing that one of my granddaughters had answered an ex boyfriend on her Facebook page. I got the email because I had replied to her post and so I get everything else that follows that reply. Usual stuff, I get a lot of those types of emails from Facebook.
What made this one different though is that she had included her Skype phone number, asking that young man to call her when he could. This immediately got my attention. I went straight away to her Facebook page and sent her a message saying I don't think it's a wise idea to put her phone number, even a Skype number, on such a public website.
I also went to Skype later that evening and found this young lady fairly fast. We had a very nice chat and she told me she had removed that reply with the phone number so I was relieved.
I have to wonder though how often young people do this sort of thing without thinking. A few months back, one of my grandsons destroyed a cell phone. He got a new one and immediately posted this new cell phone number on his Facebook page so all his college buddies could update their phones with his new number.
Am i being paranoid to think that these young people should have more sense? The internet is not the safest of places, we all know this. yet we continue to trust it just the same and put personal information out there on the Information Highway without thinking about where that highway goes.
No matter your age, I do hope you use some common sense when putting things on the internet. I know I do.

Prenatal Vitamins

When I was younger people used to say that a pregnant woman ate a lot more because she was "eating for two". I never was totally positive that was true or not, but I saw pregnant women that could really pack the food away. Perhaps they were not eating (food) for two but were somehow attempting to get enough vitamins in their bodies for two. Now that I am older I understand that a pregnant woman needs to ensure that she, and her baby, get the right amount of nutrients and vitamins in order for that baby to be born as healthy as possible. These days it's much simpler as a pregnant woman can, along with a healthy diet, take prenatal vitamins.
According to The American Pregnancy Association, these prenatal supplements consist of a variety of vitamins and minerals. During pregnancy, a woman’s daily intake requirements for certain nutrients, such as folic acid (folate), calcium, and iron will increase. Vitamins and minerals such as iron, calcium, and folic acid are vital for proper fetal growth, development, and healthy adult living.
I have no doubt, that with today's hectic schedules for everyone, that even the most careful pregnant woman might have some difficulty in keeping up with the vitamins that she and her baby need.
Bit, which vitamin supplement is the right one? You are too busy trying to juggle work and the rest of your life to sit down and read tons of literature about these things, so wouldn't it be nice if someone had already done that work for you? Of course, it would, and they have.
Clicking the link above will take you to a website that has reviewed lots of prenatal vitamin supplements and chosen the one that they feel is the the best, Trimedisyn.
You owe it to yourself and your baby to check this out. Then take the information to your doctor and let them advise you on what is best to eat to go along with this supplement. A healthy you makes for a better chance of a healthy baby.

Hot And Humid??

One of the things that I love about the desert where I live is the heat. So much nicer than the freezing cold of Winter. It is a dry heat so it's just simply hot. But today it is also humid as the weather people call for a 20% chance of rain.
I do not like hot and humid. Ugh! Humid heat just makes you feel all sticky from sweating. If you take a shower and come back out into the humid heat you feel all sticky again. That just doesn't seem right :(
The other thing I dislike about hot and humid is that it makes me sleepy. Like I am not lazy enough, Mother Nature has to help me be lazier? Thanks for nothing! LOL

I'd pray for the rain but I know better. If it rains, this desert becomes almost unbearable. I'll be turning on a fan and hiding in the bedroom if it rains. Sleeping, of course. Humidity does that ya know LOL

Lose It Quickly

If you read my post about the wholesale lingerie and were thinking about it because you'd like to see your lover in something sexy and then decided to skip it because your lover isn't quite as thin as they once were, perhaps it's time to talk to them about diets for quick weight loss.
There are a multitude of diets out there, ranging from green tea to colon cleansers to what to eat/what not to eat, it all can be overwhelming! Which ones work well and which ones aren't worth anything? How can a person tell since all of them are written with their own spin of hype? And, who has the time and inclination to do all the research required to know these things?
Quick weight loss dot Org has done all the research you need to know what's what. All you have to do is check out what they have found, pick one that's right for you. Then take that information and visit your doctor. They know more about you and your body than you do so it's always a good idea to discuss any dieting plans with them before you start. There is no sense in losing weight if it hurts your health!
Get onto that diet plan and lose those pounds quickly and safely. Then go check out the lingerie I posted about before. Get yourself into something slimmer and sexier. Enjoy the Summer months wearing a swimsuit without wondering if people are talking about you behind your back!
Good luck to you as your start your quest for a slimmer, healthier new you.

Too Hot Now?

Summer is here, no doubt about it. Temperatures here in Southern California are soaring, here in the desert it has been over the century mark the past few days as we head for the heat of the season.
Think it isn't hot here in the rest of Southern California as well? Think again:

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Southern California commuters can now say they've seen it all, including a naked man in the middle of Interstate 405. California Highway Patrol Officer Monica Posada said the first call came at the height of rush-hour Thursday - a man with no clothes was in the center divide of the freeway. Then came a rush of calls reporting the man in the buff.

Long Beach police detained the 21-year-old man and gave him a mental health evaluation.

Police said he was taken into custody and will be charged with misdemeanor indecent exposure.

Lingerie and Sleepwear

With the economy so rough these days, seems like more and more people are out their looking for a way to make a little extra money on the side. I know I am! And, like millions of others I am always on the lookout for a great bargain too. And, I found a truly great bargain I want to share with you.
I came across this liquidation site that has some wonderful sales on wholesale lingerie. I know it might seem odd, but think of this, this is a product that is always in demand. Women like to sleep in something and men certainly enjoy seeing their lovers in something sexy. And, if you're so inclined you can mix business with pleasure here.
Say you buy a lot of some lingerie you like the looks of and want to see your lover wearing. It comes to your house and you take out the items that you and your lover like. These are large lots so you're going to have a lot of lingerie left to deal with. Here comes the business.
Head on over to your favorite auction site or perhaps even your own website and place the lingerie for sale at a good price. Customers will see the items and purchase. If done properly you should be able to recoup what you spent on the wholesale lot and maybe some extra. Plus, your lover has their lingerie to wear. Everyone is happy!
Lingerie is not your thing? Don't worry. They also have other items up for grabs like computers and electronics as well as jewelry and tools. So, you're bound to find something that you want or can sell if that's your desire.
Head on over to the liquidation site and see just what they have. Make yourself, your lover, your customers happy. Happy is always good, it can even make you forget for a while that the economy isn't perfect.

Is It Really Free?

In my quest for making money online, I, like a lot of people, do some select PTC sites. I know they only pay in pennies, but pennies do add up to dollars so I use the ones that have paid me as every dollar counts.
Using these PTC sites I have to look at a lot of ads. A lot of them try their darndest to sell you something, E-books or software, things that will make you richer than your wildest imaginings!
A lot of these ads also claim that they can make you rich without it costing you anything. FREE! is what the ads claim. I like free, who doesn't want something for nothing? But, I have to wonder if the whole thing is free, how does one make anything? Sometimes it's obvious, they want you to buy their book/software/magic potion and then you can turn around and sell that same thing to as many suckers online as you can find.
If you have to go out and advertise the product, then is it really free? Of course not, but you have to admit it all sounds good. Get rich for free? Not even in my imagination.
Even a winning lottery ticket will cost me a dollar. Which means I better click another one hundred penny ads...
