Have A Seat

Summer is on its way and that means the big wedding month is on its way as well, June, the month of brides. Many of these brides and their families are thinking, because the weather is so nice, that an outdoor wedding would be great. I agree, outdoor weddings are very nice to attend. The only big problem is that, unless you are close to the aisle you don't always get to see a lot of the ceremony. Rather you see a lot of the back of the head of whoever is sitting in front of you. Not good. Here is an idea for those of you planning an outdoor wedding, bleachers. Yes, I said bleachers! Imagine all of your wedding guests being able to see the whole show. Very nice that way and certainly something that family and friends will be talking about for years to come. While you are at it, check out the nice picnic tables too, because you are going to need a place for the wedding cake and wedding gifts and food if you are serving food. This will certainly be the wedding to remember! The memories of this event may outlast the marriage but I hope not. I am very fond of couples that stay married a long time. Check out the bleachers and tables at this site. They are well built and designed with safety in mind. You certainly do not want to have wedding crashers to mean anything other than strangers showing up.

Only Here

While clicking my daily ads I ran across one of the stupidest things I have seen in a long, long time. It comes from my lovely state of California and would seem ludicrous no matter where it came from lol It appears someone in my state legislature has now decided that since smoking is bad for my health and the health of everyone within a 50 foot radius of me so must these new fangled gadgets called E-cigs. These E-cigs do not emit smoke but they do emit a vapor. I talked with a doctor a few weeks back about the difference and he told me there is a difference and that the vapor from the E-cig is not bad. Smoke however is awful and why don't I quit? They always have to ask that I am certain lol Got COPD? You should quit smoking! Right. I always feel inclined to ask them if they are overweight why don't they give up food? lmao Yes, I am aware that the smoking is not helping me with my breathing these days, although the deepest breaths that I actually take are when I inhale my cigarette smoke. Odd, that. However I also know that I plan on dying happy so I shall continue smoking while I live :) California legislators need to get a grip on reality. E-cigs are not harmful. How about they outlaw alcohol instead? Drunk drivers kill innocent people more often than smoke...

Light It Up

Spring has sprung in many parts of the country and the weather is turning warmer and warmer. Soon Summer will be here and then things will really heat up, especially here in the desert. People will be looking at all the ways to stay cooler, including there swimming pool. The problem with swimming pools for most folks, other than the maintenance, is that most people work all day and can generally only use the pool to cool off and relax in the evenings. Which means of course that they need to be able to see what they are doing in the pool as well as staying safe and that requires pool lights. The solution is simple though, get a pentair pool light or two or however many your swimming pool requires. Makes swimming in a pool much more enjoyable when you can see. I recall as a kid we used to toss coins in the pool and dive to see who could grab the coin first. Pretty easy to do in daylight but not so easy at night without a pool light. Too many banged heads that way and that is not cool. Keep yourself and your family safe in that water, please. While you are at it, get some lights for your spa as well. Lights can really set a great mood in a spa, whether your mind is on romance or simply relaxation. Enjoy your cooling off this summer but, as always, I urge you to be safe. The hospital may be air conditioned but it isn't worth the price.

Squeaky Wheel

Sometimes you have to stand up for yourself. It isn't a pleasant thing to do but you reach a point where you think you need to do it and you do. Yesterday something came up in our weekly meeting that made me realize I have been the "token male" of our group too long. Everyone seems to have been given a way to contact the owner of our game site except me. Hmmm... that doesn't seem right or fair to me. So, I fired an email off last night asking the Support person what am I missing here? I am the only one of the three Admins that cannot contact the owner if I need him? What kind of a boss is that? Got a very nice reply from her today. She thinks that I didn't have it simply because the owner never thought I would need it. Well, okay, I can buy that as he is a very busy man with lots on his mind so maybe it was an oversight. She did give me the way to reach him that the other Admins have and I am happy with that. I do hope that I never have to use it though.

Replace Them

Here in the desert the weather is fairly steady, lots of sunshine and winds that blow the dust around. Not much damage is generally done to windows or doors beyond getting dirty with consistency. But some places do have terrible weather patterns, from rain and snow to really high winds known as hurricanes. Hurricanes can damage not just windows and doors but, unfortunately, an entire house. Not good weather there. If you live in West Virginia you already know that this weather can be a disaster. You also know that windows need to be replaced from time to time, whether from damage or just plain old wearing out from rain and snow and weather like that. If you are in need of window replacement then you owe it to yourself to check out west virginia replacement windows. There are services there for everyone, homeowners,contractors, architects and commercial builders. Windows designed to help cut down on your energy bills are the ones most home owners should look at. My electric bill is already too high, I am certain yours is as well. Getting more heating or cooling bang for your buck is always a great thing. Maybe you simply wish to make your home look fancier. They have windows for that as well. Nothing wrong with a house looking great. Check out the windows and, while you are there, check out the doors as well. Keep that nasty weather outside where it belongs.

Good Timing

I ordered a new cordless telephone set the other day and it arrived today. Very speedy service! This one is different than the old one as it has two handsets so one can be in the kitchen and one can be in the bedroom. The other morning someone called and my poor wife struggled to get to the kitchen to answer. In the mornings her eyes do not open quite right and that makes it difficult to run to answer a telephone. The purchase was good timing tho as I discovered when switching the bases. Looks like a mouse has been very busy chewing the wire of the power of the old handset. I am glad I didn't get shocked from it while pulling the plug or even before that point just moving the base around on my table. Damn mice. I hate rodents!

Quick Name Tags

Seems like my wife or my daughter is always going to some church function or another where so many people are there you need a scorecard to keep track of who is who. Guess that is why so many of these things use name tags when you go to sign in. It's way too easy to forget someone's name when you are at a large gathering of folks you didn't already know. If you have these get together groups in your life you know exactly how easy it is to forget a name or perhaps you have watched as someone struggled to remember your name. That's why you need QuickNameTags.com for name tags. With a name tag there is no need for embarrassing moments struggling for someone's name, it is right there in front of you! Makes it so much simpler and easier on everyone. If you don't go to large group get togethers you can still use this website. They also offer name plates as well as office signs. I like name plates for a desk or even a meeting. I still have mine from years ago when I was a representative of the classified staff at Board of Trustee meetings. Name plate in front so everyone could easily remember who I was and why I was there. very businesslike and proper. If you have any need of an item with your name on it then you should visit the site and see what they have to offer. They offer a twenty-four hour turn around so you are sure to get your order quick.
