Warts! UGH!

admin — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 19:07:00 +0000

No you aren’t a witch if you have a wart on your nose. And, you aren’t even a witch if you have a wart on your toe. Warts, are bumps, sometimes fairly large and others barely noticeable that show up on the hands, face, legs or even the bottom of your feet. Many kids get warts and it seems to be quite common. However, adults also get warts. Why is that?

Kids Skin Health reports that warts are basically caused by a germ called a virus. They generally won’t hurt you but they can easily spread from one child to another or from one area of your own body to another. Simply ignoring warts will often times result in the disappearance of them. However, warts on the bottom of the feet can be quite painful.

Medications that can be bought over the counter sometimes work to combat warts and others a trip to the dermatologist is need to have the warts removed.

Looking to Make Changes

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:46:00 +0000

It’s just a page ya’ll!. That’s my battle cry. One of the rules of having a good blog is to not really change things up often. You don’t want to confuse people. Right, whatever!

Not me, I like to change up my templates a lot but even I wish I had a few killer free landing page templates. I can promise you, if someone would just sit and make blog templates for me on a regular basis, I’d let them.

I would love to just be like a revolving door and have all kinds of landing pages. But, that’s not good for blog popularity. If you care that is?

Do It Right

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 04:23:00 +0000

Several months ago a construction company broke ground on what appeared to be a huge house. And, then, at one point, it seemed to be so huge that I had basically decide that it would be a group home or something with the size of that house.

And, as it has tuned out, it really is the home for a sweet family of five. The woman in this house building project is a former Home Education teacher. And if anyone knows the importance of building a home to suit your needs, then it’s definitely someone like this young lady.

Today though we were ribbing them about some silly stuff regarding some copper window eaves and the like. And, so now I”m wondering, will she have tons pocket door systems. I can’t wait to see this house!

We Don’t Have a Sliding Door

admin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 21:07:16 +0000

We don’t have a sliding door in this house but most of my life I lived in a house with a sliding door. For a long time I was frightened by the thought that someone would break-in on me easier that way. But, as push came to shove and I got older, I figured out that people were no more going to come inside through those doors than any other door in my home.

My husband would have preferred sliding glass doors in our house this time too but I talked him out of it. Now, as we have to go around the world to get in and out of the house, I kind of wish we had sliding doors on the back side of our house to the deck.

Oh well, that’s a woman for you!

Once upon a time….

admin — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 17:41:29 +0000

Once upon a time…don’t you just love those stories….well in this case, once upon a time lasted for month after month. I broke my leg and being of the stubborn nature, I refused to just sit down and let life go on around here. And, not only that, I failed to get out and look at the various sites like mobility compare where I could have found myself a great way to get around and not only that, I could have found a way to make sitting at home easier.

Yea, I know sitting at home should be easy enough right? Well, if you have a cast on a broken leg for a few weeks, that’s one thing but when those weeks linger into months, or even 8 months, you will definitely do yourself a favor to look for mobility products that can help you make your life a bit easier to cope with.

I made no bones about how miserable I was and about how horrible it was to try to keep my leg elevated. But, honestly, our recliner chair didn’t even hold a candle to the recliner chairs you can find on the mobility compare site. Just look at this chair

and then read a few tidbits about the chair.

With the simple touch of a button you can ease yourself into any recliner position making the chairs ideal if you suffer from severe mobility restrictions, especially when lifting yourself in and out of a seat.

And I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that the allure for me here was not being tossed across the room when I would attempt to lower the foot support. Obviously, with a broken leg, I couldn’t use the necessary leg strength to lower the foot rest but with these chairs, I could have used the remote control to raise and lower the foot rest and not have been left to the devices of my family, my five year old in general!

Canvas On Demand

admin — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 10:56:00 +0000

As a nation, we’ve become pretty accustom to having what we want, when we want it. And even with taking our photos and instantly being able to walk in a store and come out with prints, we get so excited by the idea of photos of a newborn just minutes after birth.

And, definitely if you are one of those people who has become to enjoy Canvas On Demand type products, you will appreciate the ability to get not just regular prints but great big prints and gorgeous wall decor.

Shop til you Drop – Urban Stone Style

admin — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 22:19:31 +0000

When you least expect it, something is going to break. And, my favorite hobby of letting the dishes pile up for days was certainly enhanced by the death of our dishwasher. My husband made a real cruel attempt to repair it. When that failed, he resorted to hot wiring it. Now really, how do you feel about electrical wires being exposed and water? YIKES! That man…!

Since I am not a fan of the idea myself, I went on a binge looking for shopping deals. Honestly, how much can a new dishwasher cost? Wait, forget I asked that. Our last big purchase entailed ours of online work. The kind of work that most people like, shopping. But, if you compare shopping prices often enough…well then…you know, the fun quickly drains right out of it.

Anyway, our last purchase came only after hours of browsing through stores online and in person. We were looking at freezers at an obnoxious rate and I don’t even like to cook, never mind worry about freezing things. But, alas, my sweet husband convinced me that we need a freezer and I caved. And that…that was right before the ol’ crash of the dishwasher….ugh!

Yes, indeed, that’s the way of the world . Spend your money one thing frivilous and before you turn around good, something that you consider to be a necessity (because really ya’ll, a dishwasher versus a freezer, let’s get our priorities straight…this girl hates to wash dishes) will break. And, as I’ve already pointed out, my husband’s way of repairing appliances often involves danger.

Danger? No thanks, I’ guess I’ll just keep washing dishes, or maybe he can?
