It’s the Thought that Counts

Someone gave us a little gift bag at Christmas that included a box of Lifesavers. It ended up under some clothes in a pile in the bedroom until a few days ago when it was re-discovered, opened and (almost) eaten. See, they’re supposed to be the old-school hard life savers, not the new [...]

Losing a Family Doctor again

It seems like this town has a hard time holding on to good doctors lately. A few years back the wife & kids family doc picked up and moved without even letting them know. We managed to find a new one for them fairly quickly and he’s been around for a few years [...]

Dead Gamers

I’m sure we’ve all heard lots of stories about gamers taking their hobby a little too seriously, to the point where they end up dead due to various reasons such as sleep deprivation, starvation and so on. Seems like a tiny bit of common sense is all you’d need to keep yourself alive during [...]

Brat needs a new Bed

The little one in the house is getting a little too big for her toddler bed. Her feet aren’t dangling off the edge yet, but another growth spurt is all it’ll take to render this one useless. There’s a lot of options out there for new beds, but most are way out of [...]

Skin Care

One of the best skin care products I’ve used lately is made by a local company. The cream is made from natural calciums from shell fish and works great on various skin conditions such as psoriasis. It’s great for bug bites as well since it acts as a disinfectant, killing the poisons that [...]

Medical ID

I’ve recently realized the importance of having some sort of medical id on your person at all times. My wife has been in and out of the hospital for the last couple of weeks due to an upcoming surgery, and her one allergy is to penicillin. An allergy that the health care people [...]

Got Asbestos?

After hearing some of the horror stories surrounding asbestos I’m sure glad we never had the stuff in our home when I was growing up, ya know, back before they knew it could kill you. Probably the most serious result of being around asbestos is the chance of developing mesothelioma, a cancer that can [...]

Lepto-what now?

Someone told me to go check out a page of leptovox reviews and I was like, what the hell is a leptovox? As it turns out, Leptovox is a weight loss supplement, very funny buddy.. I’ll lose weight at my own pace when I feel like doing so, and I doubt that I’ll be [...]

Colds Suck

I’ve had this nasty cold now for going on 3 weeks, just can’t seem to shake it completely. I think there was a touch of the flu in there too since I was running a low fever for a couple of days last week. Now I’m left with the chest congestion and hacking [...]

Exercise Equipment

Working with computers for a living and playing games in my spare time, combined with 6 months of cold weather equals out to one out of shape guy. I do have an exercise bike, but lately I just get too lazy to use it. For a while I’d try to get at least [...]

Grilled Chicken

I tend to eat a lot of chicken, I’ve never been much of a steak person. It’s hard to get a steak just right, I only like them when they’re nice and tender. That’s the great part about chicken, pretty much any way you cook it, it’s always good. Fried chicken, chicken [...]

Dentistry

No one likes a trip to the dentist, but it’s something you just have to do in order to keep your teeth healthy and clean. Accidents happen though and teeth, just like bones, can get broken or chipped. For cases like that it’s good that there are specialists such as this charlotte cosmetic [...]

Acne

A common problem some people have in their teenage years, although it’s not one that I suffered, is Acne. It can range from just a few pimples for some people, to full facial redness and scarring in others. There are several causes of acne, including but not limited to: bacteria, hormones and follicle [...]

Organic household items

With all the scares lately regarding toys and other items made in China (supposedly containing lead and other chemicals), it makes a good case for switching to and sticking with organic items. Bedding made from Coyuchi organic cotton is safe and durable. Being in Canada, we tend to have a lot of [...]
