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 [...]
A lot of people we know having been popping out babies lately, that time of year I guess. Not all are having their own though, some are adopting baby girls from China. I must commend them on their decision, it’s certainly not cheap to adopt and they are giving the babies a much [...]
A buddy of mine is getting married and they sent me a fancy invite through Quinceanera invitations. It’s quite a step up from the last invitations we received which were just the cheap dollar store bulk pack where you have to write in the date/time/name and so on. Not that it was any [...]
I had to go digging around in the basement for something the other day, through some boxes that haven’t been touched since we moved in over 3 years ago, and I had an unpleasant discovery. Mold. It seems that one corner of the basement had a bit of a leak sometime since we [...]
I’ve been looking into getting new bathroom faucets for the sink. The one we have at the moment is one of those jobbies that only has one control and you turn it either left or right to get hot or cold water. Now that the kid is old enough to use the washroom [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I complained recently about having a cold that just won’t let go. It still won’t, the cough is hanging on like a bitch. One good thing came out of it though, during the cold I had just after the holidays I lost 5 lbs because I just didn’t feel like eating much for [...]
Some time soon a woman I know will be going for a bit of a stay at the hospital to get a fibromyalgia (fibroids) problem taken care of. They’ve grown rather large and uncomfortable over the last couple of years and unfortunately the only solutions are to have them removed or wait until menopause [...]
An old school buddy of mine was telling me a while back that he’s been making his own bio-diesel for his vehicles and that the stuff works awesome. In the last 6 months he’s only had to spend around $50 on diesel and that he’s put 10’s of thousands of KM on the cars [...]
Just 1 year of payments to go and it’ll be mine completely. It feels like I’ve been paying for it forever already even though it’s only been 4 years. We made the mistake of leasing our first car for 3 years instead of just buying it outright. When the lease came up, [...]
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 [...]
About a year ago we decided to switch most of our light bulbs over to those mini-fluorescent ones since they use a lot less power, give off nearly the same amount of light and are supposed to last a lot longer. In some rooms we seem to blow a regular 60w bulb every couple [...]
If you’re like most people, myself included, you have debts of one sort or another. Most often it’s those darn credit cards, sometimes it’s just overdue bills, a mortgage or maybe even income tax arrears. Whatever it may be, having a good solid debt management plan is a must if you ever want [...]
