Apologies

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 15:01:59 +0000

It appears apologies are in order for not posting more frequently.

Life has been busy as it always is. The last couple of weeks I have been sick. I went in to the Dr. last week, only he was booked that day, so I had to see a PA. I told her when I went in that it was a sinus infection, so she checked me out a little, gave me a shot for allergies (the same shot that I had just a month ago), and gave me a prescription for Flonase….I was not impressed…so after a horrible night of being sicker than ever I went in to see my regular Dr the next day….He checked my throat, and my nose, said he didn’t know why they have treated me for allergies, and gave me an antibiotic, a steriod, and an inhaler. Apparently not only did I have the sinus infection like I thought, but I also had an upper respirtory infection that was bordering on pneamonia. Needless to say I won’t be seeing anyone except for my regular Dr, unless absolutely necesary!!

I am feeling better, although still not great.

Snow Sleds

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:52:46 +0000

I’ve often thought of getting the girls acouple of snow sleds. I remember sledding when I was a kid, and it was great fun! One winter I also had my dog pull the sled around that I loaded with firewood. He had a great time, I had a great time, and I got my chores done too!!

Here in Kansas it’s a little harder to find places to sled, but I’m sure I can come up with some out of traffic places for the kids, and it’d be a lot of fun in the winter!!

La Flor Dominicana

I remember when my Dad used to smoke cigars on occasion. I don’t know if they were la flor dominicana or not, but I liked the smell of them. Now we smoke little cigars because they are cheaper than real cigarettes, however you don’t get the good smell from them.

I am thinking about trying to quit smoking again. For my health and financial reasons.

Cad Drawings

I wasn’t sure what they meant when they said “cad” so I was quite anxious to look at the cad drawings. First glance at the website I would say that it’s for automotive parts, but I must admit I didn’t look much further.

I do like that the CAD files are FREE and available 24/7 through their website. Finding stuff that you can look at, and use for free is always nice, and I think a good way to boost your business.

Scales

I’m glad I still have my set of scales. With the girls looking into showing rabbits, it’s always a good idea to have a scale so you can monitor their weight more carefully. Rabbits have to be in a certain weight range in order to be shown, at least at ARBA shows. I don’t know anything about 4H, but I’m thinking about checking into it. There are not really that many ARBA shows around, but there are a lot of 4H shows during the summer. I’m also not sure what the difference in showing is, between 4H and ARBA, so it’s something to research and consider.

Rearranging

admin — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 15:32:58 +0000

Did some rearranging last night. You see the girls both got a Netherland Dwarf rabbit acouple of weeks ago. Because of the heat I had brought out their small cage to the livingroom, so they would have better air flow. Well now that they can move into the big cage, since we got rid of the girls’ big rabbits, I decided the little ones would not be happy stuck away in the girls’ room, so we moved a bookcase into the girls’ room, moved the other bookcase into the corner, and presto, there was room for the big cage in the livingroom.

The rabbits are happily racing around the cage having a ball. They still enjoy their time running around the livingroom, as they get to play chase with the cats. That’s always fun to watch!! The cats are very careful not to hurt the rabbits, even stopping to give everyone a breather. When the rabbits get tired they hop into their cage, and the cats leave them alone, even though the cage door is still open.

Tea Tree Oil for Acne

admin — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 18:51:59 +0000

Now here’s something I had never heard of, using tea tree oil for acne. I wonder how well it works. I will do some research soon, and see if I can find some, so that the girls, when they get to that point, can give it a try.

I think it’d be nice if it did work fairly well. It would be all natural, which I think is always better for your body.

Epiduo Reviews

admin — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 18:48:21 +0000

One of these days I guess I should do some research and read the epiduo reviews so I can find out exactly what it is, but it won’t be today, because I am at the library trying to hurry up and get some work done.

We, the girls and I are at the library because it is so hot at home. We go home every once in awhile to check on the animals, and then head out somewhere else…It’s just too hot to stay home.

TV Mounts

admin — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 18:44:36 +0000

In some ways I can see how nice it is to have one of those flat screen televisions, and to use the tv mounts to put it up on the wall. You can decide exactly where you want it, but on the other hand, I mean is it really necesary? What’s so wrong about having a tv and entertainment center in your livingroom?

Seriously though, I doubt I will ever have the money to mount a tv on the wall.

Document Management System

admin — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 18:40:53 +0000

She knew in the long run that the document management system that she had set up would be a huge help in keeping her organized. However the time that she had put into getting it set up had delayed her other work, and now she was seriously behind. Which was why she was up at almost 1am trying to get caught up on some of her work.
