			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My daughter has a friend from school that had gotten another one of the girls from her school pregnant and had just found this news out about a week ago. They were apparently dating for several months until she said she wanted to go on a different road then him, and then found out she was pregnant not too long after. I can only imagine what this child is going through, because from what I have heard, her mother had just gotten out of the Air Force a few months ago and seems to be very strict. Her father is also in the Air force and won&#8217;t be returning home to his family until September.</p>
<p>Well this young girl has been living with her grandparents since her parents had left for the Air Force and has apparently been getting into all kinds of trouble since then. She had told my daughter that she is going to refuse to put the baby up for adoption and is completely against abortions and has no idea on what to do. I can&#8217;t imagine what her parents are going to say when they find out, and I hope for the best for this girl, she had always been a good friend to my daughter, and hoping it stays that way. I just hope she finds a solution and/or an option that suits her and that her parents will agree with.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My all time favorite TV shows is [scrubs]. I remember when it first aired on TV, I wasn&#8217;t impressed even one bit with their &#8220;slap stick&#8221; effects, but after watching a few of the episodes it kinda grew on me and from there I just really enjoyed it when ever I got a chance to watch it. The characters are crazy as hell, but they keep me laughing each and every time I watch it.</p>
<p>Now that the economy is in such turmoil a lot of people have turned to the medical profession and we are seeing a lot of folks wearing the medical scrubs, much like the scrub sets that most of the characters on [scrubs) are sporting. When I was growing up all the doctors were wearing just the regular ordinary and plain white lab coats that are becoming a thing of the past.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m so glad to see that these medical <a href="http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/">uniforms</a> have come a long way. You can find all kinds of medical uniforms, scrubs and the like at <a href="http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/">http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/</a>.  Liking what you are wearing can make a difference on how your day goes and we want our medical folks in as good of a mood as we can get them in. Right?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found a web site Salonpas.us that sells a neat product called the Salonpas Air Spray Pain Relief, doesn&#8217;t that sound cool. It advertises fast, effective relief of Acute Pain for all athletes.It states that it offers a strong cooling sensation which is a benefit in its self. It is very beneficial for knee and calf pain use after sports or exercise and is really popular for folks that run marathons. The cooling effect of the spray shows immediate drop in skin temperature of the area sprayed which brings relief to were it aches.</p>
<p>You can order it online or I noticed that it is sold in numerous stores located across the U.S. I wonder if it would benefit my sore back, it comes in a spray, roll on and I even see that it comes in a patch, I will have to pick up some and try it out and see.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My daughter and I have made a date to go to the park this weekend, it will most likely be the last good weather weekend that we will see in a very long time I fear, so I don&#8217;t want to spend it inside doing house work or her in her room playing on the computer or her PlayStation.</p>
<p>They recently finished revamping this particular park a few months ago. They installed some really cool and exciting <a href="http://www.terraboundsolutions.com/Playground-Equipment.html">playground equipment</a> for all the neighborhood kids to play on safely, instead of the old wooden crap that has been there for as long as I can remember. Can&#8217;t tell you how many kids have gotten hurt there and all of the splinters that send so many kids home crying. New <a href="http://terraboundsolutions.com/Picnic-Tables.html">Picnic Tables</a> and <a href="http://terraboundsolutions.com/Park-Benches.html">Park Benches</a> have been installed as well, which is a plus for the parents and other care takers that end up there for hours that deserved better sitting arrangements for a long time now.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not too much into packing a picnic basket, or grilling, but I do think that we will stop at the KFC and pick up some of their famous fried chicken, mashed potatoes w/ gravy along with their delicious coleslaw. I need to remember to take the camera and I really hope nothing happens in the mean time to mess up our weekend plans for just the two of us on a great day during this short but sweet Indian Summer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve heard much about the <a href=" http://www.waldenu.edu/Degree-Programs.htm">Walden University&#8217;s online degree programs </a>that are helping so many people get their degrees which ultimately enables them to make the &#8220;big&#8221; bucks. In these past few darken years of being stuck right smack dab in a major Depression the &#8220;big&#8221; bucks is what we are all striving for. In order to<a href="http://learn.waldenu.edu"> learn about Walden </a>I spent some time checking them out online, I found that at <a href="http://www.waldenu.edu">WaldenU.edu</a> that they have a very intensive website that took some time for me to absorb. You gotta remember, I just barely made it out of High School. College was never really in the picture for me, back in those days. All my mother wanted me to do was to become a secretary and marry the rich boss, she never really got over the fact that I ended up in the food and beverage industry, a bar wench.</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m thinking of getting into the Social Services field since I have a good heart and know how to talk and deal with people. I think that I am a compassionate human being that enjoys assisting people in any way that I can, been known to literally give the shirt off of my back to some one that needs it more than I do. Anyone that is dealing with people in need most definitely require a HUGE dose of compassion and unfortunately what I have found from personal experience and from thousands of horror stories that I have heard from friends, family and my bar customers, is that the majority of these &#8220;professionals&#8221; are seriously lacking any type of compassion along with a lot of other qualifications that I think are necessary for this type of career. I think anyone that chooses a career (any career really) should enjoy it to a certain extent and not in it just for the money.</p>
<p>I like to think that I help a lot of people while tending the bar, but the tip jar is rarely flowing over from them all. Knowing that I could be doing the same thing and was guarenteed to go home on payday with a sum that would not only pay the rent on a house of my own as well as the utilities, insurance premiums, taxes, and keep gas, oil and decent tires on the car, well it would be awsome. But at the end of the day if I look in the mirror and like what I see because of what I have done for somebody that day that really effected their lives that day well that is just be the ultimate high.</p>

Today they are having an all day marathon in preparation for the season finale this Tuesday night, which should be a good episode. Then the next week they will start all over again with a new group of 16 year olds that have found themselves 16 and pregnant which I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll be trying to catch every Tuesday evening at 10pm on MTV.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night was a night that I had a rough time falling asleep. It seemed as if as soon as I&#8217;d fall asleep I would wake up with a start and start tossing and turning once again. Since I couldn&#8217;t sleep I turned the TV on and found that every channel was talking about the crisis over in Japan. What I found interesting was that it is always focused on the Reactors and the issues going on with that stressful issue. Don&#8217;t get me wrong this is a serious concern, but I haven&#8217;t heard anything about the poor people that were effected by the earthquake and the tsunami, except for maybe a blurb or two once in a while how aid is finally coming to Japan by ways of bottles of water and rice.</p>
<p>I just heard that the Black Eyed Peas were just over in Japan, filming a new video and had left just a few days before this crisis hit. I can imagine how people were over there right before all this happened and that they are all thanking their lucky stars that they got out just in the nick of time.</p>
<p>There is a lot more I could talk about what is going on over there, but since I didn&#8217;t get much sleep last night I&#8217;m pooped and heading for bed in hopes of getting a decent night&#8217;s sleep tonight. Good night and God Bless.</p>
