She has gone online and found Avista Resort to be a perfect top notch Myrtle Beach hotel for us both to stay at, and on her dime to boot! They have a great website at http://avistaresort.com that she found by spending some time on the computer at her work during her lunch breaks. We both like the beach and we both like to play golf, so it is a perfect match. And by going after Labor Day the prices aren’t as pricey and hopefully the place won’t be as crowded either.

It sounds good to me. I can take the time off, but I don’t have a lot of cash to throw around, so if she pays for the lodging I think I can manage the rest. I’m so excited, a girls weekend at the beach, gotta love it!

She has been sharing with me some of the sites that she has been looking at for teen addiction info. There is some good information to be found online and I’m glad that she trusts me enough to share this issue with me. Lord knows I wish that she wasn’t so far away, I’d love to be able to wrap my arms around her and her kids and be there through the whole ordeal and I know that she would do the same for me, in a heart beat. We have known each other since the 2nd grade and keep in touch almost on a daily basis with emails and cell phones.

The Newport Academy has a great web site  that she has turned to for teen drug rehab information and guidance. If anyone out there needs this type of information I would certainly refer them to this Treatment Center’s web site to see if they can help with their particular situation.

I feel that buying the custom made for you hosiery a waste of money. I tried that once – I had to get a prescription for them and go to a pharmacy where they took my measurements. They sent away for the stockings. When they arrived they weren’t the right size, my insurance refused to pay for it, and the pharmacy said that once I opened the package that they were not returnable. So I was out over $100 for a pair of hosiery that I couldn’t ever wear!

Now I buy my compression hosiery online at Amazon.com. They have the best price, and you can buy the size you need without having to be professionally measured. And they cost a lot less than $100 a pair! With proper care, each pair can last several years, so they are worth their weight in gold to me!

He has been after me for a year now to order a Custom Computer myself. He wants me to buy a second monitor. He says he has two monitors at home. To be perfectly honest, I don’t know if I would have a use for a second monitor; and I sure don’t think I have the room! Besides, I think I have a few old monitors taking up space in my basement!

I would, however, be interested in looking at some Custom Laptops to see what they might have to offer me. Seems to me that I’m the only one in my family that doesn’t have my very own laptop! I don’t know if a Custom Laptop would save me money or not, but I think I would look into one; I can’t see the logic behind getting one that has a lot of stuff on it that I don’t need.

If you have been thinking about remodeling your kitchen, but are worried about the cost than you should consider getting your cabinets refaced. When my wife and I were completing a kitchen remodel recently we knew that the ceramic flooring was going to run over budget and there was no way that we could afford new cabinets. We mulled over our options and talked to a variety of cabinet dealers before settling on Cabinet Refacing by Sears. How does it look? Tremendous!

For a fraction of the price of new cabinetry, our entire upper and lower cabinets have been refaced in a contemporary dark mocha tone. The result is like walking into a brand new kitchen! The process was handled quickly and professionally and it truly is like having a showroom in your kitchen. Each day we come home and see the new tile floor, we are thrilled. We are more thrilled, however, by the great look of our newly refaced cabinets. I am so glad we opted to keep our sturdy cabinetry instead of gutting the whole kitchen. If your kitchen has good bones and just need a facelift, talk to a refacing professional in your area. You will be glad you did and so will your wallet!

Realizing that some of the rings aren’t even worth that much money, she helped me pick out two rings to resize and I brought the rest home.  We agreed that we should do it in stages.  She told me that I have a lot of nice jewelry that is worth resizing, but she knows that money is tight for me right now.  I really appreciated that kind of personal service.  She said that she will give me a phone call when they are ready, in about a week or so.  I’m looking forward to being able to wear them again!
