Live to 150!

I'm sure many people have heard of Barbara Walters, but what many people may not know is that she is doing a special on "living to 150". Within this special, she is going to interview Dr. David Sinclair about resvertrol formulation...ever heard of it?? This is a product sold on a great site that I recently came across. It's been tested by Biomol, and is the only one to date that has been. Biomol and Dr David Sinclair discovered this great product...the most potent activator of the gene, SIRT1. This Doctor, or Sirtris don't sell any products as of now...so a great place for people to find resveratrol, U.S. Lab Tested Resveratrol for the SIRT1 gene activation is through the site, RevGenetics.

Naturally after just hearing these things, I was very curious about learning more about Resveratrol and all of it's wonderful benefits! I visited the site and let me tell you...I don't believe there's any need for people to go anywhere else to find this product. It's high quality and low prices make RevGenetics the only place you'll need to go! Don't just take my word for it though...head over to their site today and see for yourself!! You won't be sorry you did!

I take it back...

I take it back...the weather is not so great. I just walked outside for a minute, and found that it is no longer raining, but sleeting!! When is this winter weather ever going to end?! I thought Spring might be here to stay, but it turns out the weatherman is right...100% chance of sleet. Yuck! I hope it passes quickly and doesn't stick around all week!! That would not make getting to work and back very much fun!

Spring is here!

I cannot believe it...I woke up this morning and it was raining outside!! We haven't had rain in so long! The temps are usually too cold for it to rain...so it was a nice change. I guess the forecast isn't good though...it's supposed to turn to sleet early on this morning. Yuck! I guess I'll have to enjoy the rain while I can!! It makes me feel like Spring has finally arrived!! How nice!

Save your reputation...

Some people have had to deal with a bad reputation because people attack them or their business on the internet 24 hours a day! The internet is a place that everyone visits and some time or another...so news travels quickly...causing a loss of respect and maybe even a loss in business. The internet is sure a powerful thing...but there's actually something you can do to help a situation like this still....it's called the Internet reputation management. They are a company that helps people and their businesses get back the reputations that they deserve online. If you or someone you know has dealt with this before...this would be a great site for you to check out. Head over there today!

Sign Language

My sister was telling me that they've been watching a signing dvd with my little niece who is almost 5 months old already. She loves watching the dvd. They said that you can tell she's really interested in what they're doing in the video. She moves her hands, but doesn't quite get the whole signing thing yet. She just really enjoys cooing a long.

Utility Bill

I am so happy that the weather has been warmer lately. I think it's probably been a week or so that I even had my heat on. That's great for me, because my utility bill was sure getting up there. I didn't want to freeze in my apartment this winter, so when it was cold...I cranked it up. Next winter I will probably be more careful to not crank it up so high...it sure costs a lot of money.

New Shoes

I have been looking for a new pair of shoes for quite a while. I have a lot of dress shoes now, because of my job...but not a lot of comfy shoes that I can just wear out and about. I'd really like to get a pair of skate shoes...and maybe even a pair of running shoes. We'll have to see if I can find the time to get online and look around...it sure would be nice though. Maybe I should give this idea to my girlfriend as a birthday idea...since it's only a week away.

New House

I have been thinking a lot about beginning to look for a new place to live. I'm thinking I may actually look into buying a house. I would just love more room, and I'd love to be putting my money into something...rather than throwing it down the drain with renting. When I do begin looking, there are certain things I KNOW I want my house to have. I want it to have at least three bedrooms and a big basement. I think a big basement would be nice, because that way it could be used as a family room, as well as a place to keep all of my fitness equipment...kind of like a workout area as well. Hopefully there will be something I really like when the times comes to look.

Buying Swing Sets

I would love nothing more than to buy each of my siblings swing sets for their little ones. I now have a niece and nephew who are both almost 5 months old. I'm sure sooner than later they will be walking around, and will be big enough to enjoy a swing set of some kind. I've been looking around just for fun, and there are so many out there. When I was little we had a pretty nice one, and I'm thinking I'd like to get them something similar. As long as there's some kind of slide, a couple of swings, and some other fun stuff...I'm sure they'd have a blast!

FRIDAY!

It's FRIDAY!! I am SO excited about that! I say this all the time, but I really love my job. However, who doesn't enjoy a couple of days off to just relax, right?! I know I do. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but it's the first weekend in a while when I don't have any big plans. I think I'll just lounge around and spend some time with my girlfriend. We'll pry rent a movie or go out to eat or something...no matter what it will be a great weekend!

It's not a "get rich quick thing" but you definitely can make some very good money doing it!! I know I have. It was something I even did as a part time job while I was in school.

Exercise

My sister and my parents both bought a new elliptical machine that they really love. I know that they try and work out as much as they can...and it's much more convenient to do from the comfort of their own homes. I really enjoy exercising and working out as well...but I would have to say my favorite machines are treadmills. Once I finally buy a house of my own, I'm thinking that I will look into buying one for myself. I think it would be really great to have it right there. I would get a lot more exercising done that way.

Great Time

I had such a nice time spending the day with my sister and niece yesterday. I got to play with Kaelyn and hold her...she is such a sweetie. She is teething right now, so she got a little fussy at times...but that's understandable. Once Scott came home from work we went out to eat and even did a little shopping. I got a few shirts for my new job position that I start on Monday, as well as a really nice new pair of tennis shoes that I really needed. I had a great time.

Spending time with family

It's going to be nice spending some time with the fam over Easter, but I'm going to miss having Renee around. Her family is going to be in a different town for the holiday so that's where she's going to be spending time. I understand that she needs to be with her family...I'm just going to miss having her around. She at least got to come by the house tonight before she leaves for the weekend so that's nice.

Flowers

I haven't planned a wedding yet, but was around when my sister was planning her wedding...and one of the most stressful things she went through was planning and buying the flowers! It was difficult for her to find what she needed at a price that she could afford. I recently came across FiftyFlowers.com, which is a site I'm going to take advantage of when I'm planning my own wedding one day. They make it easy to find the flowers you're looking for at the prices you can afford. They have everything from roses, mini calla lilies, rose petals and more.

Home Insurance

After my sister and her husband bought their house....they told me all about the whole process. One thing that they learned the most about was home owner insurance and why it's so important. I haven't ever owned a home, so this idea was new to me. After hearing all that they learned about it though, I can see why it's very important to have. It's no different than making sure you have health insurance and auto insurance. I'm going to make sure that I get good home insurance when I get a house of my own too.

Today was sure nice. It's saturday, so I didn't have to work. I just was able to enjoy a day at home relaxing and spending time with my girlfriend. This past week I have been kind of sick...so to feel better and to just enjoy myself has been really nice. I'm looking forward to hanging out tomorrow as well. It will be nice to be able to go to church as well...since last week I had to miss due to not feeling well.

Promote Your Business

There are many ways for a company to promote their business, such as a website, television ads, radio ads, newspaper ads. But have you ever thought of advertising your business in a subway? It's true, the NYC subways have 70+ million people to view campaigns every month. Just imagine what business that could generate for your company. Does this sound like something that you'd like to do for your own business? If so, you should definitely check out Patchwork Promotions. I saw this service where they make it possible for you to get advertising for your site in the NY Subway system for a very reasonable price compared to trying to reach people online. I personally think this would be a great way to gain traffic and bring more people to your site. Sometimes it's hard to get a true idea of what a company is all about until you check them out for yourself, so you should definitely head over there and see what you think today. Check out all of the benefits for yourself...you won't be sorry you did! To be honest I had never really considered advertising like this until I came across this site, and I for one would love to do a one month test run to see what it can do for my site, and you should do the same. Try it out and see what you think. I think what I liked best was that this site is secure through Yahoo, and payments are done securely through Paypal. It's always nice when you know you're working with a company that you can trust. So what are you waiting for?! They have a wealth of information offered on their site and are just waiting for you to come and check out the ways you can advertise your site cheaply on the Subway System. Check it out...you'll be as impressed as I was with their services.

Blue Lotus

If you know much about modern day spiritual explorers, you may have heard the word entheogen. It means, becoming divine within. It's related to the word ethnobotanical, which is a broader term used when talking about plants that have healing properties. The oldest known entheogen is amanita muscaria. There are others as well. Hawaiian baby woodrose, morning glory and blue lotus are all well known. The site I was looking at that gave this information does not offer legal highs. They simply sell quality products to adult customers. I think it's very interesting and something I thought others would be interested in learning more about as well.

Las Vegas Vacation

My brothers boss recently went to Las Vegas. He is a HUGE NASCAR fan and went to see the race this past weekend. I guess he had a really great time, and had fun just getting away and being in the wonderful city of Las Vegas. Scott said that his boss had so much fun there with all of the things they offer vacationers. I have always thought it would be fun to go back there someday as well! Recently I was looking into Las Vegas hotel reservations and I was really surprised at some of the great deals out there.

That's not it though. This is much more than just a question and answer site. The bottlers are those who are help people by answering a question. They are rewarding for their help and paid. You can take your earnings and donate it to charity, or purchase renewable energy credits. I really think this is a neat site, and unlike any other I've seen out there.

Interesting Dr Phil

I was watching a bit of Dr Phil yesterday and his show was all about teen sex and how the schools may be promoting it even more through their education classes and some of which are handing out birth control. It was an interesting debate, and one I must side with TD Jakes on (he was a guest on the show). He basically said that parents need to start parenting their children and not allow people in the schools to be doing that. He also said that he didn't believe it was the school's place to be giving out birth control and that our country really needs a wake up call.

What I found was a great site, actually the only one on the internet, that creates original t-shirts especially for St. Patrick's Day. I like this site because their designs are original! This is what they do and they're good at it I might add! A popular one this year is an O'bama T-shirt, as well as one that says "Kiss Me I'm Irish". I thought it was quite neat and interesting and something others would like as well. You can also find really great hats and beads on this site as well. Head over and check it out today!

Being Thoughtful

I know Valentine's Day is over, but that doesn't mean that you can't buy some hot lingerie for your wife, right?! I mean, Valentine's Day is just one day out of 365 that you have to tell your loved one how much they mean to you! This can be done in a variety of ways. You could do something sweet like take them out to dinner, buy them a nice gift...even make them supper possibly. The list is never ending for things you can do to let your significant other know how much you care! Whether it's spending money, or being creative and making something....you can always find something romantic.

Spring?!

I'm SO glad that the weather is nicer today than it was yesterday. We got a nasty storm, with sleet, snow and more!

I sure hope so...I'm so ready for Spring already! Anyone else anxious for Spring?
