New Years Diet Resolution

March 2nd, 2010

I wonder how people are doing with their New Years’ resolutions for losing weight.  Honestly I am not doing that well with mine.  I had cut back on the amount I ate and had good results, but the problem is that it seems that the minute I decide to try to cut back on food intake, my family decide it’s time to step out to eat.  Maybe if I tried Stimerex ES I would have more luck.  This pill is supposed to give energy and help with burning fat, definitely two things that I could use.

Obtaining an Online Degree Couldn’t Be Better

February 18th, 2010

At Western Governors University as with many others, you have the opportunity to apply for financial assistance and in some avenues that you would not normally think of, such as AARP.  Some specific degrees are often offered scholarships.  And when it is time to further your career, online degree programs are a definite option.  And when you do not have to travel in order to obtain a degree, an online university  is where you will want to look.  Western Governors University is a non-profit university, and has been noted in Time Magazine as the best relatively cheap university you’ve never heard of.  Grab a degree that is well valued by employers, but the flexible learning allows students to learn at their own pace.  Of note are their Teacher’s College, College of Business, College of Information Technology and College of Health Professions.  These are all offered in licensure, bachelors, masters or graduate degrees.

Moisturize Your Face for a More Youthful Look

February 18th, 2010

I’d heard good things about Olay’s Regenerist Microsculpting Cream—mostly that it was the poor man’s Crème de la Mer—so I decided to take a chance. I’ve always had a soft spot for Olay products; that’s what my mother used for the entire time I knew her. 

So I walked to the drugstore and bought it—and this is where I should warn you that it’s a little pricier than what you’d normally expect to pay for a drugstore cream—then slathered it on that very night.

I continued to study youthology reviews , but just when I was about to give up on this moisturizer altogether I noticed my skin being much smoother and my facial problems were disappearing.   I was reluctant to try it, but now I’m glad I did.

Beautiful Doily Patterns for Free

February 18th, 2010

Free Crochet dot com has literally hundreds of crochet patterns but I have chosen to show you this particular one.  It is a doily to make for a coffee table.  It interested me because my Mother used to make these all the time when I was younger.  She even made a tablecloth like this.  This type of crochet seems to me to take a special kind of crafter.  It is tiny thread and needs good vision.  Look to their site for many more patterns like this for only a free membership.

Facebook Games

February 18th, 2010

Do you happen to use Facebook?  It’s been around for quite some time, but the fact is that us older folks haven’t been doing it that long.  The kids go to school and learn computers from the beginning now, but people in their 50’s have not all been too familiar with their computers and these online communities.  There are so many social networks that it’s impossible to keep track of them all.  Such as Twitter.  I’m listed on it but never saw much use for it.  Mostly I have been interested in playing the FB games such as Farm Town, Farmville and Cafe World.  I played a few others but mostly have settled down to those three, and lately I have been fooling around working on this computer, so I haven’t been on much in the past three days.  What does surprise me is that I don’t really miss it so much.

Sweet Prices on LCD TV’s

February 15th, 2010

I love it when I visit a site and immediately get a box there that says it’sit is from a live   agent.  That lets me know that they value my business enough to arrange that, so I take a longer look at what they are offering.  The Source has a lot of tvs on sale, with specials all of the time.  It’s well worth your time to visit them.  You can order and pay online and what could be easier?

Laundry is NOT Sweet!

July 21st, 2009

Doing laundry can be such a daunting and thankless task, and over the years it has become even more so for me.  One of my children has been in the situation many times of not having a washer and dryer to now where they are not allowed to have washers and dryers.  She isn’t in the situation of being able to afford the high costs of laundromats so she brings her clothes to my house and I end up doing them for her.  I’d like her to do them but it takes so long to do her clothes that the kids about drive me crazy.  So instead I do them for her in the relative peace and quiet of my home.  This time I’ve been given three tall baskets of dirty laundry and due to the way that my laundry vent has been placed in this apartment complex, it takes twice as long to dry clothes as it should.  Then of course I need to do our laundry too.  It never ends!
