Co-Worker Eloped

Guest post of the week by Deangelo Spencer

I am sitting at my computer exhausted and trying to distract myself from work. I am suppose to be looking up Texas Electricity Providers for my boss, but I feel like I have been working non-stop and have not had a second to breathe since I came in this morning. I have decided to update my blog (that I have not updated in two months!). I usually am not the slacker on my blog or at my job that I appear to be. I think that I am just burned out. My co-worker who basically had my same job title quit three months ago. She fell in love, eloped in Vegas, and never came back to work. I of course, have gotten slammed with all of her work because the HR department is just about as slow as Christmas when it comes to the hiring process. I have basically been doing two jobs and have only been getting paid to do one. I have gotten behind in all things personal life. I miss blogging and staying in touch with friends. They have got to hire someone soon!

Low Flow Toilets

Lauren — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 00:27:40 +0000

We have been experiencing toilet issues for many months now. I’ve about had it at this point and ready to take action myself, since my dad hasn’t been willing or able to do much about the situation. It seems that toilet repair isn’t one of his specialties, sigh……

I’m always about saving money, as well as doing my part in becoming as “green” as possible, when possible. So I thought it would be a good idea to look into the Dual Flush Toilets that I’ve been hearing about. Researching things such as these is so much easier with the Internet, I’ve only looking around just a tad and have found some good information to take and run with. A dual flush toilet can Save Water for a family of 7, a huge 49 gallons a day, which turns out to be a savings of 18,000 gallons per year, that is like a large swimming pool full of water!

We all use a large amount of water each and every day. At some point we could certainly run out of our much needed supply. SelectAFlush is focusing on water conservation, water being our most important resource to sustain life as we know it. To see and learn more about these Dual Flush devices, you can go to dualflushkit.com and check out what they have to say and what they have to offer. With them a little flush can go a long way!

Video Classifieds

Lauren — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 03:53:58 +0000

I have stumbled onto an interesting concept today called video classifieds, which allows you to attach a video to your ad, I thought that was pretty cool. The web-site I was browsing around at is listasaurus.com and it has quite a lot to offer if you take the time to check it all out. What caught my attention was on their home page it states: “Get Paid To List Your Ads and that certain ad categories are eligible for cash rewards-we pay you for listing with us!” And I love the name of the company Listasaurus of which the definition is: 1. A dinosaur that loves to collect things and list them on-line. 2. Any dino who keeps his community from being extinct by supporting local merchants and individuals. Sounds interesting and cute doesn’t it.I cornered and showed a friend the site and he asked me to email the link to his email so that he could get a better look at it, he loves these types of sites, he is always buying and selling things on eBay and a few others too. He liked the idea of being able to attach a video to an item being listed, it would be a very useful tool indeed.

They are advertising that auctions are coming soon, that is something that I have never participated in in real life or online, but I’d like to try sometime either way. So I’ll keep checking back and see when they get that up and running and see what that is all about.

Bone Density

Lauren — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:08:21 +0000

It seems that my doctor thinks I might be headed to have fragile bones. So I am off to the Medical Center for a bone density test. Don’t know much about this process, but I’m told that it doesn’t hurt. That is a good thing. Not in the mood for pain much these days!

Online Gift

Guest post from: Winston Stewart

With the holiday season approaching, I’ve made a resolution for myself. After years of dealing with the crowds and standing in lines, I have made a decision. I am going to try to find every single gift that I give online this year. I have scouted out credible websites, and I’m pretty sure I can do it. You can seriously find almost everything online these days, and my gift list is no exception. I have ordered magazine subscriptions, home goods, clothes, accessories. I even ordered a subscription to satellite TV through www.direc4u.com! I didn’t have to worry about one single line, and I’m much more merry this year! Every gift just came right to my house, too- so I saved on gas! When I went to go checkout at one of the websites it gave me twenty percent off and free shipping. It’s almost like you don’t even have to pay tax! I think I’ve found a new way to shop for Christmas gifts! I suggest that everyone that is sick of manning the lines do the same thing!

Netflix for Christmas

Lauren — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 03:15:17 +0000

One of my favorite gifts from this Christmas was a year’s subscription to Netflix. We don’t get cable or satellite so this will be a real treat to be able to watch all that Netflix has to offer on the TV or my laptop. Gonna sign up come January 1st, way too busy right now for movies anyway.

Kinda Slap Stick

Lauren — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:43:17 +0000

My all time favorite TV shows is [scrubs]. I remember when it first aired on TV, I wasn’t impressed even one bit with their “slap stick” 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.

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.

I’m so glad to see that these medical uniforms have come a long way. You can find all kinds of medical uniforms, scrubs and the like at http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/. 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?

Today’s Trade Shows

Lauren — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 23:01:18 +0000

Haven’t been to a trade show in many, many years. I used to try and attend several of them a year but I just haven’t had the opportunity as of late. A few days back a good lady friend of mine called and asked me to go to one with her next Saturday I have agreed to go and help her out and look forward to spending some time with her and hopefully finding this trade show of interest. One good thing about trade shows is that they are normally held inside, so the weather is never much of an issue and the show goes on rain or shine, hot or cold.

Trade shows are by far a great way to learn about different businesses and their services, products and opportunities. They have come a long way since the 90′s when they started coming around. With bigger and better logo products to get the word out, with a larger variety of various logo canopy items and logo mats that can be found for sale for today’s trade shows use and job fairs also. Job fairs are a big to-do these days with so many people looking for networking as well as employment. Both events are a great opportunities and I always walk out on their nice looking customized trade show carpet enlightened and curious about numerous issues that were discovered throughout the day and a bag full of logo laced freebies.

Pain Relief

Lauren — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 20:21:47 +0000

I found a web site Salonpas.us that sells a neat product called the Salonpas Air Spray Pain Relief, doesn’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.

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.
