Internet A Powerful Tool

Tina | August 18, 2010

It seems that most people are related to or are close to someone who is experiencing serious health issues or a major disability. The Internet has brought a good amount of attention to a lot of these issues and it can be a powerful tool in learning all you can about these health issues. I’ve [...]

A disease

Tina | August 8, 2010

I find it very sad and frustrating that so many people that I know and love are turning to drugs and alcohol as an escape mechanism. These are such destructive coping mechanisms! What is even sadder is that they don’t see, or don’t care, about the pain that they are addicts, and that the addiction [...]

So Far Away

Tina | July 19, 2010

I can’t imagine having a need for a teen drug treatment center. I feel for my good friend who moved out to the west coast a few years back on her own, as a single mother, with 2 kids. And now her oldest one is needing a good California teen drug rehab. What a nightmare [...]

Shame on them!

Tina | July 9, 2010

I was just finished reading my email, and getting ready to shut down the computer for the night when I read an article that popped up on my screen about how the antidote for deadly coral snake bites is no longer being produced in the USA, and the current lot is expiring. Apparently the drug [...]

I love strawberries

Tina | July 7, 2010

For about the past two months I’ve been buying a lot of strawberries at the grocery store. They seem to be relatively inexpensive, and I’ve really been enjoying slicing up several and putting them on top of my morning cereal. I’ve noticed that since I’ve been doing that, I don’t get as hungry as quickly [...]

Compression hosiery

Tina | June 29, 2010

I’ve had bad vericose veins since I was in my teens, back in the 70′s. Would you believe that I had the veins stripped from my left leg when I was only 17? I regret having that done at such an early age. I should have waited until after I had finished my childbearing years. [...]

Bonnie’s birthday

Tina | May 20, 2010

Yesterday Jeff asked me to help him out.  He’s in a real bind.  His wife Bonnie has told him that she wants him to buy her some Vera Wang Perfume for her birthday.  He has been in a real tizzy since then because he has no idea where he can go to buy any Vera Wang [...]

Those EZ Combs are not easy at all

Tina | May 5, 2010

A few weeks ago I decided to buy a package of “EZ Combs.”  I have waist-long hair and was looking for a different, yet simple way to style my hair while at work.  The “EZ Combs” are very pretty, and they certainly looked easy to use.  So I bought a package (for about $10.)  The [...]

What a wonderful luxury

Tina | April 2, 2010

Erica was telling me that she spent last weekend with her new boyfriend Ray at his weekend cottage.  She said that he had a wonderful Swim Spa in a room off of the master bedroom that was amazing.  She said that in addition to having the traditional water jets that give you bubbles and a massage, [...]

Turn on the air conditioning!

Tina | March 28, 2010

Wow – turn on the A/C or turn a cold hose on this commercial! I went on youtube to see if I could find the entire commercial, and here it is! Very hot indeed! The commercial looked like a hair’s breadth away from a wardrobe mishap, though! I don’t think that was completely necessary, but [...]

Food Allergy?

Tina | March 11, 2010

Thankfully I have no food allergies. But others in the family are not so lucky. My niece is having a terrible time with IBS and I’m beginning to think that it has to do with a food allergy. We are trying to keep track of what she eats and when she has the IBS attacks [...]

There is more to it than just stopping

Tina | March 9, 2010

I’m sorry to say that there are a lot of addictive personalities in my family.  In each generation that I’ve known, it seems that most of the people are addicted to SOMETHING!  Some of them have gone to some form of Alcohol Rehab program.  Depending on their financial circumstances, some have gone to a Private Alcohol [...]

Ignorance is no longer an excuse

Tina | March 3, 2010

Mesothelioma Cancer seems to be a popular topic of legal commercials lately.  I don’t normally watch a lot of television, but I have noticed that almost every time I do watch a show there is at least one commercial that comes on from a law firm that is reaching out to people who either have or [...]

You have to be careful with Ebay!

Tina | February 24, 2010

I’ve recently starting buying things on Ebay.  I had several friends who told me how they keep getting these great deals on Ebay – fantastic prices!  Well, I had a little bit of mad money to spend, and haven’t had much luck finding pretty jewelry at reasonable prices up here so I decided to see [...]

Beauty without cruelty

Tina | February 17, 2010

I’ve been trying to do a little bit of research on cosmetics and personal care products over the past few years.  I became interested in the subject when I took a course in college several years ago where I learned that so many of our cosmetics and personal care products were tested on animals.  We [...]

Let’s Get Real

Tina | February 10, 2010

I’ve always wanted a nice stemware rack to have on my side board in my dining room that I’ve been working so hard on fixing up this past year. I all ready have a great variety of wine glasses that just need a place to hang them from. For my birthday I think that I [...]

The Killing of Two Birds

Tina | February 7, 2010

It always amazes me how today’s technology has become so advanced and are becoming more affordable so that more people can take advantage of all there is to offer us. Now if we could only get the insurance companies to start covering more technologies we could really see a difference. My sister-in-law just had some [...]

Pharmacy Closing

Tina | February 5, 2010

I got the bad news in the mail today that my favorite pharmacy is closing. What a bummer, I really like the pharmacist there. I always get the best service there. I usually don’t have to wait more than 5 minutes, unlike other pharmacies where you can wait over an hour. The letter tells me that all of [...]

Lumineers The Painless & Safe Porcelain Dental Veneers

Tina | February 5, 2010

I know a good amount of people that have had cosmetic dentistry lately and couldn’t be happier. Having a nice smile is so important and we have certainly have come a long way in dentistry just in the last few decades. My grandfather used to tell us kids some god awful stories about his younger [...]

Looking for something special?

Tina | January 11, 2010

I’ve always had a hard time finding shoes that I like that actually fit my feet.  They are really extra wide with a high instep.  You would not believe how many shoes I have bought at the shoe store and then ended up only wearing once or twice because they rubbed blisters on my feet!  One [...]
