Multi-Task

Tags: , , , , ,

Guest post written by my buddy Aldo Mays

The internet is perhaps the greatest invention of all time. You can search thousands of websites in the blink of an eye with clear wimax and DirecTV. This is very helpful when I am working on my homework. I need a little distraction when I’m working on a paper or project. Just a little something that I can do during breaks to keep my sanity and keep my brain from frying over the homework assignment. It is great when I don’t even have to leave the computer to find a little distraction because if I leave to go watch television or go outside the likelihood of me coming back is very slim.

I usually have several pages up and running. I will have a couple for the project that I am working on and I will also have my word program running to take notes or begin writing a paper. One of the other sites I will have up will be some type of social networking site so I feel like I am keeping in touch with reality. The final site I will have up will be one that plays music. I am a big fan of country music and it help calms me down when I’m having a hard time on a project and keep me sane when I’ve been working on it for hours. I love the ability to multi-task that the internet allows me and as such it’s the best place to get homework done.

Scrubs

Tags: , , , , , , ,

Just because you’re wearing scrubs doesn’t mean that you have to look like a scrub. There are some great stores and websites that have a huge variety of scrub tops and scrub pants. Most websites also have a great selection of scrub hats, kids scrubs and additional accessories.

The websites are usually put together quite nicely and easy to use. I was very pleased with one of the websites I came across called Blue Sky Scrubs. Their choices of patterns and fabrics were beautiful. Go sheek, modern and elegant or go colorful, playful and fun! Whatever your mood or desire is… they seemed to have it all. Enjoy Shopping for scrub clothing!

An odd crash

Tags: , , ,

Guest post written by Hester Schrute

Lots of people get into car crashes throughout their lives, but most of them don’t involve their houses. We live on a busy road that a lot of people use to cut through and avoid nearby traffic so there are quite a few wrecks in our neighborhood.

One afternoon my kids came home from school right after a station wagon plowed into the front part of our house, right into our living room. Luckily, my husband and I were at work and our dog was at the groomer’s so no one got hurt, including the elderly lady that was driving the car. It ends up that a deer ran out in front of her on the road – which happens pretty often – so I don’t really blame her for it. Plus, our insurance covered the repairs. We knew our siding was ruined though, so we did some research and found some more info on replacing it.

Really the crash just broke a few lamps, a side table and a couch. I’m just grateful that it didn’t happen in our dining room where my grandmother’s wedding cabinets is.

Ticket America

Tags: , , , ,

I have had the amazing opportunity to attend a few Major League Baseball Games in my 30 years of life. And I absolutely love the environment. I am quite happy with a nice cold lemon-ice, popcorn and big juicy hotdog. You can’t beat that feeling. I think besides the game and the players, I love to just sit and watch people in the stands. It makes me smile just thinking about it.

I’d have to say that watching the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field is one of my favorite past times. Although, I do enjoy watching the Detroit Tigers play at Comerica Park. Hopefully one day I will be able to see the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium
and the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Both of these teams are pretty close to my hometown in Oklahoma so weekend away in either direction is definitely on my to-do list to the upcoming year.

Although, I don’t have any trips planned yet to see another game, I do know where I am going to buy my tickets when I’m ready. I came across this website called Ticket America and they have all sorts of tickets available for regular season games and playoffs. It is a very helpful source for Sports or Concert Tickets. They have no hidden fees or chargers and you can even sell your unwanted tickets. That’s a pretty sweet deal don’t you think?

Cat scratch fever

Guest post written by Kayla Marshall

My cat seems to scratch everything but the scratching post I bought her and it’s really starting to drive me crazy.

She’s my first cat and I’ve always heard that cats are pretty low maintenance in comparison to dogs. So I thought a cat would make a great pet. Boy was I wrong.

The most noticeable spot that she scratched all up is my lower kitchen cabinets. My mom told me sears new cabinets so I looked up some info about it and decided that that’s exactly what I would do.

The cabinets were replaced and looked so nice that I decided I should redecorate the whole kitchen. I just moved into the house a few months ago so it was still like how the former owners had decorated it. A fresh coat of muted yellow paint helped a lot and made my new white cabinets seem to gleam in the light even more. I added some cute little gingham curtains to the window over my sink and now it looks like a nice little kitchen.

Accident Motorcycle Crashes

Tags: , , , ,

Because of gas prices these days, there has been over a 30% increase in motorcycle sales since 2001… all those sales equals more motorcycle related accidents. What’s even more alarming is in fact the accidents, with the increase in sales the increase in motorcycle related deaths has jumped up by 50%! That’s huge… that’s over 4700 deaths in the US.

What are the main causes of accident motorcyle crashes? Road conditions such as pot holes, puddles and debris… but also actual driving errors such as driving too close to others, swerving in and out of traffic and lack of protection. What is the best way to protect yourself? It might be common sense but motorcycle helmets are the way to go. Recent studies show that wearing a helmet can cut the risk of brain related injuries down by 88% in a motorcycle accident and more deaths are due to head trauma.

So what if you are involved in a motorcycle accident and you know it’s not your fault. You will probably want to find a good lawyer. But you don’t want just a good lawyer, you want the best lawyer who specializes in motorcycle accident and injury cases ONLY. Call someone like California’s Motorcycle Accident Attorney, Tom Reinecke. If he doesn’t make you money, he won’t take your money!

Every Four Years

Guest post Terry Bard

Every four years I watch the Cup, and this year is going to be incredible, because, after seeing several satellite tv deals, I finally decided to buy satellite tv. I love watching the World Cup because it is a family tradition. Every four years my family and I try to get together as much as possible to watch the games. Even if we cannot join each other to watch all the games together, it is the topic of discussion at the dinner table. We all cheer for different teams, which make watching it even more interesting. We make inside bets on our teams. I also cheer for Brazil as they are my favorite team of all time. Since I was little I always loved Brazil and watched them religiously. Soccer is one sport that everyone in my family enjoys, so the World Cup is a big deal. This year we are planning a party and hoping our favorite teams make it to the final game. I love that there are games daily because it always gives us something to talk about. Who would have thought that a simple sport would keep a family together?
