Arlene

Tropical storm Arlene, hit Mexico's central Gulf coast Thursday with heavy rains over a large area of the coast.  It had winds of 65 mph and was moving inland at 8 mph, near Cabo Rojo, a cape just off the mainland between the cities of Tampico and Tuxpan.  There weren't many problems and  Arlene is expected to be out of sight by midday.  Extreme south Texas also could get rain and Arlene is projected to weaken later Thursday and dissipate on Friday.  We are thankful there weren't any problems with this tropical storm. 

Sinks

I know there comes a time when you decide that the home needs a new look.  The old furnishings are drab and getting some wear and tear to their credits.  Remodeling the kitchen and bathroom can be very rewarding.  You might consider shopping for a  double bowl undermount sink   to compliment your kitchen decor.  Choosing the right one will be hard since there are so many designs and amenities available.  You may need some help finding the right items for a price your budget can allow.  Just click on the above link and see if  you can find the value  you are searching for.

Lilies

Blooming are the "bread & butter" lilies, which grow beside the house in a flower bed.  There are several of these plants and they have taken over this one area.  I need to remove some of them and will do so when the fall arrives.  There are many small trees in the flower beds as well.  These will need to be dug out by the roots instead of being cut off as before.  Now, the roots will be much larger and deeper in the ground, making it y harder to dig them out.  I truly have my work cut out for me to do in the next few months.  This will be an ongoing project that will never let up.

Fire Pits

I was invited over to visit with the neighbors across the street from my home.  They told me to come around to the backyard, where they would be.  They had their  outdoor fire pit  going and was sitting out enjoying the evening, the fire and a brew.  I was hesitant at first due to the fact that I was new in town and didn't know them well.  I finally made my way over and joined their evening relaxing in the backyard.  The fire pit was very nice and the smoke from it helped drive the mosquito's away.  In the months to come, I hope to get a fire pit for my backyard and be able to enjoy a good fire on cool evenings.

Wisteria

I recently moved into my old family home and was delighted to find that the old wisteria bush had survived att these many years and seasons.  This bloom was from some of the new growth and I found one or two others blooming as well.  Since then I have trimmed the bush back so that the flower beds can get needed air and sun for the soil underneath.  I have some much more work to do in the flower beds because they are overgrown with all types of small trees and plants.

Office Scanner

I have a personal opinion about  scanning software   because I once worked as a document scanner for an insurance company.  The company utilized the scanner for patient accounts and kept the files updated with all the recent activity to the accounts.  This type of software is very important to many companies as well as hospitals and other healthcare establishments.  The ability to scan documents can save the company extra liabilities later, and keep the cost of labor down.  You can find more information by clicking of the above link.

City Workers

The street workers, came and took up some of the pavement to repair the area they had been working on.  They will come back and pave it with asphalt in a day or so.  My driveway is rock and since they had rock mixed with sand that wasn't needed, they asked if I wanted it put in my driveway.  I heartily agreed and told them if they found themselves to have more in the coming days, that they were welcomed to put it in the drive as well.  You get all the free help you can get from your local city departments.

Theft

 The act of stealing a person's personal information has become and epidemic in the last few years.  They are getting to the point of walking up next to you and using a device that reads your credit card numbers.  You may find that you have been violated, only after you check your bank account or you credit card amounts.  There is a company that has developed a rfid blocking wallet  which you can put your credit and debit cards in for protection.  This way you can keep these vandals from stealing your card numbers and taking your hard earned money.

First

Our first tropical storm Arlene, has developed in the Gulf.  It is predicted to remain near the coastline, in the Mexico areas.  The lower parts of Texas could be affected, with heavy rains.  We have no idea what will conspire in the next few months of the hurricane season.  The weather center in Florida predicts a busy season, for many hurricanes.  We will keep our fingers crossed that none of them become dangerous.

Trees

Not your ordinary day, would you say?  I opened the window blinds this morning to this sight.  It was very scary, when I considered what could have happened but didn't.  Just yesterday, I would have left my car parked right in the sport where it lies.  Not 3 to 4 feet away were the power lines, that connect to the house.  I'm very thankful, that nothing major happened.

Scanners

Everyone is very acquainted with a barcode scanner  and what it does at the checkout lines.  Until a few years ago, these devices weren't used for these services.  Today, they are everywhere and have become a lucrative business in their own right.  Without them today, the lines would be even long at the stores and the price look ups would be outstanding.  If your interested in the value and design a these products, click the above link for more information.

Ya Think?

Well, there it went. Right down the drain, just like so many others. I have a lousy track record for friendships. I just can’t seem to get it right. You think things are going good and poof, they blow up in your face. I’ve always considered a good friendship not to have boundaries. But I sure was wrong on that idea.
The idea that a friend was there no matter what, or that a friend would understand or care about what was going on with you, just became my ideas. Not anyone else’s. I guess I’m just too old fashion. I believe with all my heart, love the same and try to be a friend as well.
I finally allowed myself to try again to have this type of relationship with someone, and once again was shot down. I forgot that their life has it’s own querks and that I must remember that there are boundaries, to a friendship. I guess I think that everyone has the same ideas, and values that I do.
Heck, I also forgot that this is a diversified world of people, who have been raised in different environments, than me. Who did I think I was to be so selfish as to think everyone could think and feel like me? I’m so out of touch with reality, that I actually tried!
I’m sure it will be a long time again, before I’ll do that same thing. I don’t like being treated with disdain and talked to in such a horrible manner. So, to protect myself from such candor, I will go back into my safe shell and stay there. It’s much safer inside and I can like myself anyway I want to. Darn that sounds childish. I guess there’s just been too much rejection in my world, for me to be able to cope very often. I can’t accept making the effort and having it thrown back at me, like a bad piece of meat. So, I’ll just stay the heck out of everyone’s way and make my own way.
Just another day in paradise.

More Government

It seems the city I'm moving to has intercepted my transfer of electricity and blocked the action per a city inspection of the home.  Now, I'm without electricity until this coming Monday and most everything is thawing out.  The food in the freezer and fridge are at risk of ruining.
My poor tropical fish have been without needed air for a day and a half, which gives presence to the fact they may die.  Now, I must try and salvage as much as I can until next week.  What  a city government mess!

Review

I read about this product and was concerned at the extreme caution the maker's are issuing to users of  hemo rage black  and it's qualities.  They tell the customer to only use the product once  a day and to make sure that they use no more that one scoop of the powder.  This product is use for pre-workouts and can be very harsh for some people's body systems.  I offer the advice here so that if one decides to invest in this product, they can be aware of it's powerful effects.

Sales Tax

The state governments are trying to find a way to start getting extra revenue from online sales.  They are putting bills in congress to get passed and then enacted.  The states are in a slump and have laid off many employes and cut spending.  This will be considered a way to give money back to the state budgets and help ease the financial strain on the schools and other government offices.

Sports

Any hobby, sports or exercise resumes you may take up are always needing certain items for your comfort.  The use of yoga mats are naturally something to support your body and keep it from being directly on a floor's surface.  I know that yoga has become an exercise that helps limber up the muscles and give you a deep personal satisfaction.  Some of the positions I have seen these people pose would get me all wrapped up and unable to unwind. 

Pack Rat

I can't believe the efforts it takes to move from one place to another.  It never ceases to amaze me how you can accumulate so much stuff in such a short time.  Just when you think you've gotten rid of a bunch of things, you look around and find so much more.  When it comes time to move, you actually consider giving some stuff away, or selling it.  I've got too much to move so, I will see if someone might want the things that I really don't want.

Buildings

The need for steel buildings  has become  a priority in today's business world.  You can utilize them as warehouses, sports arenas and other necessary accommodations.  It's something that can be kept clean and the upkeep is economical.  I'm sure this online store can fit your building needs and give the a decent price.  You can shop for the type you are looking for and get a quote on it all in one application.

Mave'd Out

Ok, I'm tired of the mania and hype.  Yes, they did it, but why drag a good thing into the ground?  I can understand the fans getting all excited.  I really enjoyed the last few minutes of the game and was glad to see them win.  It's nice for the coach and team to get recognition.  Now, it's time to rest and relax for awhile.  What about the Texas Rangers?

Uniforms

I know that you have seen different departments wearing certain colors or designs when you visit a hospital.  These uniforms are very expensive and it's always nice to find discount scrubs  to have extra.  I notice that doctor's offices are color coordinated with their uniforms.  You can find many different designs and sizes online and get them delivered to your job or home.  Maybe you are considering updating you scrubs and getting a good discount is very helpful.

Should I?

Have you ever made a decision that left you feeling a bit unsure about the out come?  You have that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach that tells you, there may be some repercussions.  You may not like the out come of what is to be and yet you plow ahead with the plans to do it.  Some times life takes a turn that your not expecting and before you know it your caught up in an exhausting mess.  I've made some plans to change my life recently and am still feeling the unsure qualms that are inside my being.  I hope that this decision will be for the good, and not turn out to be a disaster.

"The Playbook"

Thanks for the post, Jennifer Mcconnell
Even though I thought the break up of Robin and Barney on "How I Met Your Mother" was a cop out by the writers so they could rely on tried and true formulas instead of developing the show and characters in a new direction to reflect their maturity, I still really enjoyed "The Playbook" episode. It's one of those episodes I've seen countless times on http://www.cannonsatellite.com TV and never get tired of. In part due to hot chick Sarah Wright playing Claire. The episode revolves around a book that Barney wrote -- though he alleges it was written by his forefathers around the time of the American Revolution -- that consists of all the elaborate schemes that Barney has thought up in order to score chicks. Lily, disgusted by the very idea and upset that Barney uses one of his plays, called the "Lorenzo Van Matterhorn," to bamboozle the friend she had planned to set Ted up with, steals the playbook in order to expose all it's secrets.
Barney returns in scuba gear and proclaims he will use one final play that he calls, "The Scuba Diver." When the gang can't find the play in the playbook, they share Barney's playbook with Claire in hopes that she can find out what it is. When the elaborate details of "The Scuba Diver" are revealed to the gang after Barney and Claire have left for coffee, you can't help but see a similarity in how the show itself is written and connected through little details.
