A growing trend among Americans when it comes to serious medical procedures or surgeries is to travel to other countries to get them. Generally, you can save a large amount of money on the procedure by traveling out of country. I have been reading about spine surgery Mexico, at a place called Angeles Tijuana…well, a hospital called Angeles Tijuana. Lots of athletes travel to Mexico to get injuries worked on. They do things like the traditional knee replacement to arthroscopy and lumbar dynamic stabilization. Its a really good deal, if you ask me and from what I have heard the environment is generally always amazing as well.

POSguys.com is a website that basically offers point of sale hardware and software. If you dont know what that is, or have never heard of it..then you are not alone. Haha. Lots of people havent. However..if youre in the retail industry or just…have your own small business I am sure you are super familiar with the term. Anyway..yeah..if you do have your own small business or are perhaps opening up your own small retail business then you should check out POSguys.com.

It states on their website that:
“Our expert technicians know the ins and outs our products, from barcode scanners and receipt printers to POS software and complete POS systems. They take this knowledge and put it to work for our customers, reviewing products for ergonomics, functionality, durability, and more. Reviews of these point of sale products are complied, allowing you to get to know our POS products better before you make a choice regarding your new POS hardware and software.”

So whether or not you need a receipt printer or a barcode scanner…they got ya covered.

Something women have been fighting…well, probably since the dawn of human civilization is aging. Now, personally I believe that a womans wrinkles are earned and should be respected and are definitely NOT something to look down upon or wish away. However, unfortunately society does not agree with me and the media and societies idea of beautiful is generally the standard of beauty that a lot of women go by.

So, with all of that said, if you are a woman and you are fighting the battle against wrinkles, you should check out Sybervisions wrinkle cream reviews. Believe it or not…there are wrinkle creams out there that work. Keep in mind though, that since we are all different…different creams may work differently on different people!

Last weekend my boyfriend and I stayed over at his dads house, which we do on occasion because his dad goes and visits a friend in Chattanooga. He and I had been waiting for a while to check out my favorite movie called ‘The Fountain’ but we hadnt had a good place to watch it. Abe doesnt have a DVD player at his house. We could have watched it on our computer but I dont believe that would have been a good experience.
I was super happy we watched it as his dads because his dad has surround sound and all this cool stuff….super huge TV. Just all around awesome.

Anyway..we didnt only watch ‘The Fountain’ but we also checked out some other movies because his dad has digital cable and stuff. It got me in the mood to check out some home theater systems. I really dont have enough money …

But I am officially saving up!

I remember when I was a little girl, my dad worked construction and needed his own workplace out back, so he built himself a big building. It was a long, arduous process and the results were satisfactory, but they could have been much better. If only back then he would have known about steel buildings. He could have had a company like Olympia come and put one up for him and it would have been bigger, and more sturdy than the one he had back there. Dont get me wrong, his building was great, he loved it and I loved it too..but, there are so many things steel buildings are good for that normal wooden sheds are not!

I write a LOT about losing weight and getting into shape. I am what some people would consider a “small” girl, and so many people think that just because I am small, that I am in shape. That is NOT true. So I have been thinking quite a bit these last few days and I believe I am going to come up with a workout routine that best fits me and targets the areas that I want to change. As I was looking up some different routines I came across this cool thing called the Kettlebell. It is total body fitness in just 20 minutes a day..now..that is my kind of work out. It works cardio, resistance and FULL BODY!

The website states that Kettlebell is unique because:
“KettleWorx is the global leader in kettlebell fitness. No other fitness program comes close to matching the 200 exercises, 36 unique workouts and more than 12 hours of personal instruction that KettleWorx provides. But KettleWorx is much more than just the largest collection of kettlebell training ever assembled. KettleWorx is a truly personal training system that guides you, step-by-step, through your own six week body transformation. Unlike fitness programs that provide only a few routines to repeat over and over, the 36 unique routines included with KettleWorx are never boring - always challenging. KettleWorx really is just like having your own personal trainer - one who guides and instructs as you build strength, confidence and endurance each week. You’ll be amazed at the remarkably better body you see in the mirror after only six weeks. ”

Looks like I am going to be KettleFit!

Over a small amount of time I have noticed that more and more companies are beginning to franchise our their business’s. In my area, for example, Subway is for the most part completely franchised and independently and locally owned. If you are interested in starting your own business, I believe that owning a franchise of an already well known company is the way to go! You can save a ton on advertising and other expenses this way. Check out some of the top franchises and see if any spark your interest. There are a lot of companies that I wasnt even aware of that franchise their locations. Wow! I would love to own my own Baskin Robbins! How cool would that be?

I went to a party on Saturday and I noticed there was a guy walking around smoking an electronic cigarette. I have heard things here and there about these things but I had never seen someone actually smoking one. I became really curious and wanted to know what was REALLY up with these things, so I did some research! I believe that the creators of these electronic cigarettes made them due to not only the rising ban on smoking in public, but also the huge health risks that smoking, and second hand smoke, impose upon smokers and the people around them. The makers of ecigarettes claim that electronic cigarettes “looks, feels and tastes like a cigarette or cigar, and delivers all the pleasures of smoking, but it does not contain tobacco, tar or known carcinogens.”

Http://premiumecigarette.com states (when asked if this product is safe):
“Absolutely! The non-flammable Electronic Cigarette is driven by modern microelectronic technology, a small rechargeable battery and a unique, safe replaceable cartridge containing water, propylene glycol (approved by FDA and used in many food products), nicotine, and a scent that emulates cigarette flavor. When using the Electronic Cigarette, the act of inhaling or smoking it produces the tactile and craving satisfactions traditional smokers seek, and triggers a vaporizing process that releases a simulated smoke that is actually a vapor mist that harmlessly evaporates into the air within a few seconds.”

Hmm..sounds pretty cool. I would urge everyone who smokes to at least try one.

I have had a pretty bad cold lately so I have been getting all the sleep I can…when I can. Last night was not one of the nights that I was able to get a lot of sleep, mainly because I was helping Bert with his homework. I got a couple hours, but he got none. Anyway…basically that meant that when I came home I pretty much immediately fell asleep. When I woke up…I was just fiddling around on the computer when all of the sudden I saw something move on my bed…

It was a spider. One of the HUGE black ones that torment my apartment. I FREAKED OUT!!! I am so scared now. I am going to buy some plastic knobs to help build some huge spider killing contraption!!!
