Leather Weather

Lauren — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:44:53 +0000

With the coming of spring I’m getting anxious to get on the back of a Harley Davidson. I have several friends that have some really nice scooters and are usually willing to take me out for a putt when I feel the need. This is perfect leather weather, so I guess I need to get on the phone, make some calls and see if I can get some riding in soon.

Booze, Football and Music

Lauren — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:28:23 +0000

I have a little area in my basement that I have set up to use as a bar. I have a nice sized TV down there, an excellent sound system in place and a ton of great music just waiting to be played and heard. During football season it gets a lot of use, but the rest of the year it pretty much remains empty, but I’d like to change that so I’m doing a few things down there to get it up to speed and my first purchase is going to be a nice hanging wine glass rack that I found online at glassstemwareracks.com. They have a great selection of wine glass racks for sale, at really decent prices.

They offer a “No Hassle Return Policy” which is so important for online shoppers like myself. And I like that they accept PayPal, more places need to do that. Not all of us have charge cards and Pay Pal is being used by more and more people each day and I’m going to use mine for some nice glass racks. God I can’t wait for football season to come back around this fall! Maybe the Redskins will have a decent season this year.

Ever Seen A Baseball Player Do This?

I’ve never really been much of a baseball fan. Football is more my style. But when I saw this on You Tube it really made an impression on me, so much that of course I had to post it here. God I love You Tube. Hope you enjoy it as well!

What Dreams Are Made Of

It seems that a good amount of people are using their tax returns to purchase new cars and taking advantage of the stimulus package that has been extended. My sister and her husband are buying a chevy Volt. My cousin is looking seriously at a nice for fusion hybrid, which I think is pretty darn cool. They have always been Ford people and I don’t think they will ever change in that area. We are creatures of habit.

At work people are using their down time and going online looking at various new cars. The gal that sits next to me is going crazy over the new nissan rogue, I expect to be hearing soon if her husband will approve and to see her driving into the employee parking lot with her brand new car at any time.

Myself, I’d be checking into the hyundai genesis. Check this one out that I found online earlier. Man, wouldn’t I look good behind the wheel of this pretty piece of 2010 metal! A girl can dream can’t she?

Cat Lover

I’ve always had at least one cat in the house. I’ve never been much on dogs, but all types of animals are dear to my heart. The Internet is full of the funniest photos of all types of animals and I am always on the look for new photos with cats in them. This is my latest find.

Surviving Mesothelioma Cancer

Lauren — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:48:19 +0000

I remember the first time I heard of Mesothelioma Cancer. I was working as a cashier at a department store and one of my co workers was telling me about her uncle who had just been diagnosed with Mesothelioma. He had contacted it during his time he spent serving his country with the Navy on a submarine.

It was right about that time that I started seeing commercials for a local attorney who has been advertising his services for people that have been diagnosed with Mesothelioma Cancer. It was a ten dollar word that I had no idea of it’s meaning, until my discussion with my co worker. Since then I have been hearing more and more about Mesothelioma and I’m glad that people are becoming aware of this particular type of cancer. I’ve run across a web site about Surviving Mesothelioma, that offers a free book that is a patient’s guide and available by signing up at Survivingmesothelioma.com.

It is my intention to help pass this information along in my blog to anyone who may need this type of information or know of someone in need. It’s all good.

Romancing The Road

This is a wonderful video that my best friend sent me today. She always comes up with some pretty cool jokes and videos. I never seem to have enough time to find these types of things, so I’m glad that she keeps them coming and coming and coming……

A Helping Hand

Lauren — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 21:22:23 +0000

I am sending information about The Orchid Recovery Center for Women to a gal that I used to work with years ago at the Insurance Company that I worked for many years ago. She has since moved to Florida, we kept in touch pretty much via emails every now and then. I am very worried about her. She and I were considered the “party gals” of the office, we did get into some pretty crazy things back then I have to admit, but than was then and this is now. I’ve settled down one heck of a lot, but she on the other hand seems to have kept on going “full speed ahead” as they say and I think she needs some help.

I’ve done a bit of research on the Internet about Recovery Center’s in her part of Florida and found The Orchid Recovery Center to be the one that I would consider, if the need be. I spent a good amount of time reading The Orchid Center Charity Blog and am urging her to do the same, it had some cool things to say that I think she might appreciate.

I’m hoping that I’m not going to piss her off. One has to be careful on how they approach folks on subjects like this, I just want to help in any way that I can. That’s one thing that I’m good at, or so I’m told from time to time.

See Through Tires

Lauren — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:47:39 +0000

I just got this email from my friend in South Carolina. I’m assuming that this is a true announcement, but one never knows these days. Guess I’ll wait to hear more about them, possibly on the evening news.

New Michelin Tires… Absolutely SCARY looking…

Look for ‘em in August. These tires are made in Greenville, South Carolina , USA …

SEE THROUGH TIRES

Radical new tire design by Michelin. The next generation of tires. They had a pair at the Philadelphia car show.

Yes, those are ’spoke’ like connections to the inner part of the tire from the outside tread ‘wrap!’ The next picture shows how odd it looks in motion…

Makes you wonder how the ride feels doesn’t it?

These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon. The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these.

Just think of the impact on existing technology:

A. no more air valves…

B. no more air compressors at gas stations…

C. no more repair kits…

D. no more flats…

These are actual pictures taken at the South Carolina plant of Michelin.

Surving Mesothelioma

Lauren — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:36:45 +0000

I have to say that up until the other day I had not known anyone who had been diagnosed with Mesothelioma Cancer, although I have seen a lot of commercials for a local attorney that is advertising their services to people that have been diagnosed with this particular type of cancer.

My mother forwarded an email to the immediate family that she had gotten from her aunt who lives in North Carolina. This email was informing my mother that her aunt had just been diagnosed with Mesothelioma. She has been in bad health for some time, something not that unusual for some one in the late 70’s, but now she has been tested and is being treated for this type of cancer.

We don’t know many details on how she contracted this, but I’m sure more information will be forth coming at some point. Right now my mother is asking us all to keep my Great Aunt in our prayers and to send her a card or two from time to time to let her know that we are all thinking of her, which we all certainly will do. I’m glad that my Great Aunt has several close family members that live close by so that she won’t have to go through this experience all on her own and it looks like we may be taking a trip to North Carolina soon for a visit with her.

In the mean time it has been suggested that they look into using the Internet for information on Mesothelioma Cancer, the more you know about certain illnesses the better off you are and the Internet is a wonderful and useful tool for everyone to use. Survivingmesothelioma.com is one site that was recommended, they even offer a free copy of the book “Surviving Mesothelioma” which would be a useful guide for them to turn to.
