Acne Treatments

Have you ever noticed how different industries play up others. Take the makeup and acne treatment industries for example. If you wear makeup regularly, than chances are that you will need acne treatments at one point or another, especially if you already have oily skin. The makeup seals in that oil, which causes acne. Would acne treatments be needed as much, if there wasn’t such a large makeup industry?? Basically I think it boils down to not only are they out to make money from me, when I buy makeup, but they also want me to spend my money to buy acne treatments and other things like that.

Horse Supplies

Horses are one of my favorite animals and very close to my heart. I can’t ever remember my family NOT having horses, they have been a constant, although moving around as we did, they tended to make things more difficult, because we had to find a place for them to live, as well as ourselves, but that was just how things were. The various horse supplies could always be found here and there around the house, or in the vehicles, just as you might find your childrens toys scattered here and there. They were a part of our family, just as our cats were, or any of the other animals that we had. Of course our family have always been animal lovers, and animals were always a part of the family, not just a pet. Loosing one, for whatever reason was heartbreaking to us, even now, I refuse to let them suffer needlessly…Take Monster Feet for example….she’s just a cat that lives outdoors at my sister’s house. She had an eye problem (gooey, swollen, etc.) and was very thin, so I brought her to my house to nurse her back to health. I ended up taking her to the VET, because her eye looked increasingly worse. Turns out that if I hadn’t taken her, she would have died from infection, because she had an ulcerated eye. Wasn’t my cat, wasn’t dear to my heart, sure wasn’t money that I had to spend, but was in need, a need that I couldn’t turn away from.

Commercial Real Estate

I really don’t know much about commercial real estate, nor do I really have any desire to know much about it. My heart’s desire is to work from home, and therefore have no desire to be looking into a business for sale. I’ve had thoughts of opening my own business, and as much as I like the thought of being my own boss, and could be with the college classes I’m taking, I would not want to keep business hours, and therefore am better off working from home.

Did any of this make sense? As I typed it, I thought it sounded pretty good, but now that I’m at the end, it sounds kind of confusing..

Healthy Cooking

Healthy cooking is something that I really don’t know much about. I know that if you bake something, it’s healthier than frying things. I wish I knew more about healthy cooking as I’m sure it would be a benefit to my family, and it would be something that would benefit the girls for a lifetime. Maybe I’ll pick something up here and there as we go. Right now I’m just looking for different recipes and kind of getting back in the swing of cooking in general.

Diet Pills

There have been very few times when I have not been over-weight, at least according to the general population. The use of diet pills has been tempting over the years, and yet I still consider the use of them kind of counter productive. Okay, so you take these pills, lose weight and than stop taking them….If you don’t change how you live, won’t you just put the weight back on??

Thanks, I’ll stick to trying to get more exercise, and trying to eat healthier food.

Recipes

I’m not much of a cooking person. I can do it okay, but just don’t enjoy it all that much. However when cooking I almost always need to have recipes, as I would be lost without them. I don’t mind deviating from the recipe, by adding more of something, or a little less of something, and sometimes I do add things that aren’t even on the recipe, but I need that base recipe to work off of.

Halloween Invitations

Our Halloween plans don’t amount to much, as I’m sure some of you are glad to hear…*LOL*…Halloween is such a controversial subject, and I have to admit that I’m not entirely sure where I stand on the subject. But the facts boil down to the fact that we won’t be sending out Halloween invitations, because we don’t have money for a party…I’m not even sure that I will have money for costumes for the girls. We’ll have to wait and see.

Chicago Accident Attorney

Being a Chicago accident attorney was a far cry from the tough criminal stuff that he had always dreamed of doing….but you had to take what you could get…right?? He was making good money, he didn’t have the stress of having his own practice, had steady income, didn’t have to put in all the man-hours that were necesary for criminal cases.

Drug Treatment

Being here in this place for drug treatment wasn’t exactly what she had had in mind, but she had to admit that drug rehab wasn’t really so bad. It was something even she herself could admit that she had needed, still needed in fact. Her mother had been her saving grace in this matter….After only a few months of drug use, her mother had laid it out flat to her…she would go to rehab, and she would stay and get clean…There were no if’s, and’s or but’s…That was the way her mother was….She herself had obeyed, because that was how she was raised…you obeyed your parents, no matter how old you were….and it had been what was best for her.

Las Vegas Resumes

Facing the fact that I will have to be finding a job, outside the home, has been difficult, depressing, and well, we won’t dwell on such things. In this experience I guess we will call it, I did finally make up a resume, basically so perhaps I’d look a bit more professional as well as saving me from having to fill out a bunch of applications. I can’t see where it much matters if it’s Las Vegas resumes, or one for some other town…they are all pretty much the same as far as I’m concerned.
