I remember when I was younger I was climbing trees and jumping ramps. Most our neighborhood friends were boys, so we had to be tough. I have to say though, now that I am hitting mid thirties I regret the crazy things I did as a child. My body is feeling it now. I often wake up with muscle pain, just from doing small things. I remember when we moved back here last month, I think I was sore for almost a week. My husband kept saying I was just out of shape, and it was good for me. I agree I am out of shape, however, sometimes it's hard to do things with all the pain my body is in, and it's a daily basis not just once in awhile. After I showed him I was covered in bruises he started to feel bad for making me help him load a thousand pound lawn mower into the moving truck. Okay, so it might not be a thousand pounds, but it was HEAVY. With all the joint, and muscle pain I suffer daily, I have been really thinking about trying Nopalea. After all it is made with the fruit from a Nopal … [Read more...]
Amber Alert Canceled.
The Amber Alert for the two Bain girls has ended. They were found yesterday, and the abductor took his own life. Adam Mayes was a very selfish person, now these two girls will no longer have their mom or their older sister. It is unclear at this time the main reason, Adam Mayes's wife claims he thought the two younger girls were his. We can only assume the reason this all took place was because the family was moving to Arizona, and Adam Mayes didn't want the mom to take the girls. It is not clear as of right now if Adam was indeed the girls real dad or not. However, Adam is now dead and will never stand trial for the dead of the mom and older sister, or the kidnapping of them all. His wife and mother though are not so lucky. His wife is facing 4 counts of kidnapping, as well as murder charges. I don't think she was involved in the murder however she was there when the murders took place. These girls will have a long recover road a head of them. Please keep them in your … [Read more...]
Fighting Games and Their Accessories
My nephew is huge into the Xbox. One of his favorite games is Call of Duty. So when it comes birthdays or holidays I do my best to get him the accessories he needs. I mean whether it is a game or something for a game. When he came to me and asked if I could get him a throat microphone for Christmas I was a bit confused. At first I was thinking he was talking about the thing my Uncle Al used because he couldn't talk because of the whole in his throat. So he used this microphone. I was wonder why he was wanting a microphone for call of duty. Then after he explain to me what it was, I better understood. However, it can be a bit hard to understand when a 13 year old explains things so I took it upon myself to look up exactly what he was wanting. I still am having a hard time understanding why he is wanting one, since he does have a wireless headset already. Then again, I do have a child myself so I know how kids can be. They need ALL the accessories for their systems whether they … [Read more...]

Saving Money On Prescription Eyeglasses
I don't think no one will argue the fact that glasses to some people are like wheels to cars. They're a must have item to some, and the price of these must have items, can be pretty expensive. In the state of TN if you wear glasses you must get an eye exam every year. Why? Because your eye prescription is only good for a year, then it expires. Eye exams a lone can cost an arm and a leg if you don't have insurance. Every two years I am supposed to get a field vision test done, well without insurance this test is $150!!! That is not including the eye exam of $85. Plus, you have to factor in the cost of prescription glasses. By the time we are all said and done, IF I was to take the route of doing everything at my local eye doctor it would cost me close to $450 a year. I don't know about you, but I know of a bunch of other things, I could spend that money on... for starters a mini vacation for the family. So when it comes time to get my eye exam, I am the one opting out of getting … [Read more...]
Depression and What Causes It
Often times it's hard to pin point what causes depression. However, everyone lives with some sort of depression. Often times people try to deal with their depression on their own, they often feel if they tell someone how they feel, they will be labeled. For many years I hid my depression from everyone. I was so good at it, I had myself thinking I was fine. One day I went to the doctor, I was good at pretending. However, the doctor made me break, and I broke down. She new right then I was going through a lot more than what I was letting on. She even told me I was pretty good at hiding it. Did you know when you hide your feelings, it will only eat at you more, and lead to something that cannot be undone? Am I fixed? No I will never be fixed, I will always have that depression there. The depression stems way back to my childhood. However, I am learning to "deal" with it better. I am on medicine for the issue, I cannot say they help completely, but it does help some. I also won't lie … [Read more...]
Getting A Running Companion
We live in a crazy world, and on a daily basis we hear bad things about women out running and something happens. If you are wanting to lose weight, why not get a companion? I have been thinking about getting my family a dog. I think that might be what we are missing in our lives. A family dog will help keep the family active and more a live. I have been reading up about different breeds of dogs, and which breed I think would be the best fit for our family. I have found many great sites that have given me a lot of information, about proper care of dogs. I mean I would have never thought to brush a dogs teeth. I mean yea it makes since, but I thought maybe giving them certain treats would do the trick NOPE. I also know you're not supposed to give a dog certain foods. Owning pets can be a lot of work, often times more work then having a child. However, the idea of having a companion and running buddy makes all that work worth it! When we know we are ready to properly take care of … [Read more...]

Trying New Products For Inflammation
It seems the older I get the more aches and pains I have! I am not one for taking pills for the pains I have. My husband has to literally make me take something for headaches. So when the doctor put me on medicine for inflammation of my knees, and informed me I will be taking it the rest of my life. I wasn't a bit happy. I am not one for taking man made medicines. I prefer the things that are all natural. That is one thing I don't understand back in the older days, people used natural products to help heal their bodies. Now we are putting more and more chemicals in our bodies to heal them. Have you ever heard of the Nopal Cactus? Well many centuries ago the native people relied on this plant to help heal their bodies. Now we are using products that do damage to our liver, and can cause major stomach issues. Now I know we all cannot grow the Nopal Cactus in our back yards to have it on hand to help heal our bodies, but luckily for us we can purchase a drink that has the health … [Read more...]
