A new puppy this summer.

General 1 Comment

As most of you already know, we lost our Coonhound named Bear in August of last year.  He is still missed and always will be, but we have decided to get another puppy.   We will be making a trip to Ohio sometime this summer, the new puppy hasn’t been born yet, but we have another Coonhound coming from a reputable breeder in Ohio.  It will be another male, just like our Bear.  I am somewhat apprehensive over the idea of having a puppy to train, but looking forward to having it here none the less.

Time for new eyeglasses

General No Comments

Its been more than 5 years since I had my prescription eyeglasses changed, I can still see fairly well out of my current glasses, but they are pretty scratched up. I bought one of those carbon pencils that is suppose to make the scratches less noticeable and it does work, but only to a certain extent and it doesn’t get rid of the deeper scratches.

So I am thinking that its just time for me to schedule another eye exam and get a completely new prescription for glasses.

Tennitus Update

General No Comments

Well I am happy to report that I woke up this morning to SILENCE and as they say…silence is golden. I haven’t had a minutes peace for 3 weeks with this latest thing to hit me.

Today I have a cracking/popping sound in my head, its not frequent and since I have been awake now for a few hours, I can hear the humming again, but its at a really low frequency.

I started to take Stress tabs yesterday, since their main ingredient is the B vitamins, and I also started to take 60mg of prednisone on a daily basis, since it is reported to calm the Tennitis down as well, especially in the case where its reacting to inflammation and or sinus problems.

So right now I am happy that my Chiropractor once again is right and that this Tennitus is only temporary and it will go away.

Garage Sales

General No Comments

Garage Sales seem to have started early this year. The papers are already just completely full of listings. I like to check out the sales that are reasonable close to me. So Saturday I gave my friend a call and we hit 2 of them in the town where she lives. I didn’t find to much, I don’t buy just to buy, but if I find a good deal and its something that I truly need, then I will buy it.

Do you remember the old type tv stands that you purchased in sets of 4? I found a set that had only 3 tables left with it and they are wooden trays, they are old and have some rings on them, but she only wanted $5 for them and it was a deal I could not pass up. So I brought them home and cleaned them up with some oil soap and they look great. Just gotta love garage sales.

Dealing with Tennitis

General No Comments

I have read so much information involving my recent onset of “Tennitis”.  My Chiropractor guarantee’s me that it is only temporary and that it will go away, but its also not going to go away over night. 

I have been cautioned about so many things, things like caffeine, chocolate and even diet supplements that contain Fentraphen.

I have been told to try to avoid stress, since its stress that seems to have been the trigger for it. Right now I am keeping a log, the ringing is constant, but the degree of it varies a great deal.

The night time is the worse, daytime there are other noises that help to distract from the constant ringing.

I have to start therapy on my shoulder next week, since its a mess and causing me a great deal of pain and I do think that is where the Tennitis is also coming from, because the pain causes a great deal of stress as well.

Growing old gracefully….yeah right

General No Comments

The up’s and down’s of aging, and trying to age gracefully can become quite tasking at times.

2 years ago, I started to experience vision disturbances, found out they where called Ocular Migraines and most and likely would eventually lead to full blown migraines, which of course they did. But with the help of the Chiropractor, the vision disturbances, as well as the migraines have not become worse. So then along comes vertigo, which made life really fun for awhile, I had to be careful not to move to suddenly or I would go into what I called the spin cycle. So its back to the Chiropractor and adjustments and therapy and the vertigo started to back off.

About 2 weeks ago, I noticed my jaw was sore and it rotated down my jaw and around to the back of my neck and up to my ear, and being that I have extensive shoulder damage from a whiplash injury, and a pinched nerve that doesn’t give me much peace anymore, I knew what the problem was. So I went and was adjusted again, which got rid of the pain to a certain extent, but now I have this annoying ringing in my left ear….so I guess this is called Tinnitus. The doctor told me to keep either moist heat of ice on it, which ever worked and felt the best.

So they say things come in 3’s…so I am hoping that this is it now for me for awhile.

Looking for vacation deals

General 1 Comment

I have been making a few phone calls to travel agencies checking for good deals to go to DisneyWorld, the best deal so far has been through priceline.com. I contacted a few local agencies, but they don’t seem like they are able to compete with some of the bigger travel places.

I am starting to think that some of them might be passing along information to other agencies, because we are getting phone calls on a daily basis that involve anything travel related, and that even includes people trying to sale us travel insurance.

I am just happy right now that we have caller ID and can screen the calls.

A long winter

General No Comments

This winter just seems like its never going to end doesn’t it?  Today was the nicest day we have had here for what seems like ages.   I am just so ready for spring right now.   I need to catch up with some friend who I haven’t seen since December, we talk on the phone, but I haven’t been venturing far from home this winter at all.

Matt my son has been off work since the end of November, he was called back for a short period of time in January when they where bringing in new safety equipment as well as upgrading some of the heavy equipment.

So he is just waiting for the phone call to return to work, he told me today he is ready to go back to work and that he is bored.

I just hope that they get called back soon and that its steady again.

ContentCurrent.Com - Doesn’t deliver

General 4 Comments

Content Current! Avoid at all costs.

BeboDreamTeam recently decided to try out a paid posting service for their boards, with a company called
Content Current.    BDT was initially impressed with the look of the CC website and with the
standards they ‘claim’ to adhere to.  So an order was placed on 12th February.

Over $40 was paid for a package that consisted of 75 posts, with 4-6 new registrations and posts to be completed within 7 days, which was agreed to by Content Current.

We waited patiently for 5 days, and not one post had been made. A support ticket was then opened,
asking why there was no progress with this order.   A reply was received a few hours later.   The reply
asked for understanding and patience, and said that new writers would be assigned, to
help complete this order.    An additional  24 hours passed, and still no sign of any progress.    Another support ticket was sent voicing our anger at the situation.   The owner replied stating that he was going
to assign a whole new set of writers to this order, and promised  that we would see progress over
the next 24 hours, and that he (Owner) would be overseeing my order to ensure it was completed.
Guess what was received…. 5 lousy posts!

By now the 7 days agreed to at the start had past.  So once more another message was sent letting them
know exactly what we though, and a refund was requested  . Again nothing but excuses where received.

Another full 24 hours has passed by and guess what? Still not 1 more post had been made. So this afternoon, 9 days after  placed the order, I sent yet another message. This is that message:

Now I’m really angry! Still only 5 posts. I do not want any more of your so called writers on my board.
No more excuses, I want my money back! Don’t bother replying with the same crap you’ve been feeding me so
far. Your nothing but a bunch of cowboys, and I intend to post a warning about your company on as many
forums, blogs and sites, that I can. So refund my money today! I will delete any further posts made by
your team. You asked for a ‘few’ more days, and you’ve had that. Don’t ask me for more time or to be patient,
you’ve used both up!

I haven’t received any reply as of yet.

I really don’t want anyone else conned out of their hard earned cash. So if you or anyone else you know are
considering using a paid post service, please don’t use Content Current. You will not get the service or standard
they claim to offer. I will let you all know if I ever get my cash refunded, but don’t hold your breath.
