You Say Tomato

Some people are just contradictory. Logged into my chat lobby before my shift and the "boss" is there. It's almost three in the morning where she lives so I say she is up late for her. Her retort is "you mean early, don't you?". So I type back, you say tomAto, I say tomaTo lol

Do you deal with people every day that are like that? Sometimes it can all be funny, or at least mildly humorous. Other times these people are just a royal pain in the butt.

Can You Do It?

Years ago, while married to my first wife, I read in a Richard Simmon's diet book that diets don't work. Having lived all my life with people constantly trying new diets and desperate to lose weight I'd have to say that this adage is often true, they do not work.
The reason they don't work is that, for many, food is like an addiction to them. As soon as they say they are going on a diet the brain immediately wants to eat a lot. I know this is true, believe me. A couple of weeks ago my wife and daughter came home from a church musical they had attended. One of the things that came to light from the conversation was my wife telling me that she and our daughter were going to go on a diet. Have no clue where that thought came from but I, being a good husband who'd like to live, just nodded in agreement. Since that day I have seen my daughter eat constantly. A little here, a little there, but constant. She is not going to lose weight like that!
Dieting along is not going to help my daughter, nor anyone else. They need to have a little help from weight loss products. You cannot generally say "I'm going to lose weight" and have it happen. Your body is too used to having that food. It's like smokers trying to quit cold turkey. For the vast majority it just doesn't work. They need a little help to wean them off that desire to smoke. Dieters need help to wean them off their constant desire to eat.
There are as many weight loss products on the market today as there are diets. Which one will work for you? How about Fenphedra? Here are a couple of testimonials I found on the website for this product:
I can honestly say this is THE BEST weight loss pill out there. I feel AWESOME, have A LOT of energy with no side-effects whatsoever!! I started taking 8 weeks ago and along with diet & EXERCISE have lost 41 pounds. Eat right & exercise and you WILL see results FAST!! SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!

I have tried tons of fat burners and none of them have done a lick. I decided to take a chance on Fenphedra – boy was I totally blown away. It helped with my cravings and I could feel the energy boost right away. So far it has been 3 weeks and I have lost 12 pounds. Everyone should try this.

This is the most hard core fat burner I have tried. It was easy for me to swallow and didn’t give me the jitters. I was able to lose 5 pounds in 2 weeks. This fat burner worked like a DREAM!

If you are one of the many looking to lose weight, be it for health or better looks, you should check this product out. Break free from your food habit!
Before you take this, or any product like it, you should talk to your doctor to make sure your body can handle it. I am not a medical person so my medical advice is worth nothing. I do hope you'll give it a try though and I hope you lose all the unwanted pounds you desire to lose.

Things You Learn

On a social networking site I ran across an item yesterday where people were complaining about the site using material that users had put on the site that somehow showed up on another site without the users permission. Come to find out that the second site is owned by the first. Still, it rankled a lot of people and they are not happy yet.
So, following the lemmings, I went to google and searched my username on that site. Sure enough, there I was with all my discussions. The listings were not for the site I belong to but some other site. I guess I get around the web lol
Have you ever Googled your name or username? You'd be surprised at how the searcg engine robots find out all the details of your online life, both the good and the bad. Some things you might even be embarrassed by!
When I was a kid we were always told that we shouldn't be caught doing anything that would embarrass our mothers. Time and technology has changed a lot since then but perhaps that adage should be adhered to today.
What if your mother Googled your name? Would she be shocked at who you truly are and what sites you use? Think about that!

It's The Wood

A long time ago, when I was a kid, we played with these things called Lincoln Logs. Lincoln Logs were basically pieces of wood that you used to construct houses and other buildings as your imagination went. Playing with these logs consumed many hours but the end results were always worth it. One can still buy these log sets so I know that they have stood the test of time.
But this blog article is not about Lincoln Logs or even toys. This article is about rustic furniture. What? You went from toys to furniture? yes, I certainly did, dear reader. Because they have something in common.
If you look up the definition of rustic you'll find that, among other things, it means of, pertaining to, or living in the country, as distinguished from towns or cities; rural. So rustic furniture would bring your mind along the lines of simple, basic, yet useful items. Something like the wooden bench you sit on at a park while your kids are playing, right? But that is not the case here. For instance, who would consider this as "simple":

That bed took a lot of craftsmanship. Nothing simple about it at all. And, it's a lovely looking bed! This is the sort of bed that city dwellers would find themselves in when they've spent good money at a Bed and Breakfast. They certainly wouldn't look at it and call it simple.
Beds are not the only furniture the website has. They have outdoor sets, living room sets, even office furniture. Made out of wood, just like stuff we created as kids with those Lincoln Logs, only much fancier and much, much better looking.
These pieces are not just plain old wood. They cover wood from simple Cedar to Hickory and even Aspen. Whatever your tastes in wood they've got it.
And, if your mind is still in Lincoln Log mode these folks can create what your mind can see in furniture, indoors and outdoors.
So, gather up your toys and put them away. Go check out the fine pieces of rustic furniture available now.

Stands And Mounts

Sounds like instructions for getting on a horse, doesn't it? But, no horse tales here. This is about relaxing, not horse riding.
We spend an enormous amount of time as hard working people trying to kick back and relax. And to help us relax we spend a lot of time and effort and money buying things that will assist us in this relaxing. These days, seems like any house you visit there is a lot of electronic equipment, be it stereo systems or fancy televisions. Keeping up with the Jones' these days means a very fancy television thinner than ever along with a very large screen. You can hang these things on the wall like a piece of art.
If this is your idea of how your living space should be then you are going to need to check out television stand and mounts. It would surely be a shame to have that expensive television set fall off your wall! But, the mounting is just the beginning.
Now that you have your fancy theater system television set attached where you want it now you need something good to kick back and relax in. You need home theater seating. Something perhaps like this:

This chair would be perfect for kicking back and checking out the latest flick in pure comfort and style. And, if you're one of those that cannot stay awake for the entire movie, great for falling asleep. And, imagine how impressed your family and friends will be when they come to visit and see some great furniture instead of just a normal chair. With furnishings like this you can not only keep up, you can become the Jones' that everyone else wants to keep up with.
So, take a stroll through their website and look at all the goodies they offer to help you enjoy your leisure time. Make your relaxation time truly relaxing!
