A friend of mine from college has been in and out of drug treatment centers for the better part of the last 20 years. I really wish he could get his life together, not only for his sake, but for his family as well. He’s got 3 kids and they barely even know him. His mother is always worried that she’s gonna find him dead in an alley one day and he doesn’t even seem to care. I really hope he can get his life on track soon.

My girlfriend’s little nephew usually has very bad acne all over his face and shoulders. He recently started using one of the best acne treatment creams that I have ever seen. He actually was able to get rid of nearly all of his acne within only a few days using a product called “Acnexus”. I had previously never heard of this acne treatment, but now I’ll be recommending it to everyone I know who suffers from acne.

A friend of mine recently showed me a website that carries tons of funny t shirts. It’s called RoadKillTShirts.com. I was browsing through the site for about an hour last night and there were tons of shirts that actually made me laugh out loud. I’m thinking about ordering a couple to see how the quality is. If they come out good, I’ll probably order about 10 more.

I have an elderly neighbor who used to always go to church every Sunday. She began having a lot of health problems. One of her problems was her loss of hearing. This broke her heart. She is now almost completely deaf. She has tried many hearing aids and other hearing tools, with no success in helping her to hear. When she would go to church, she could not hear other people talk, or the sermon being preached. Finally, a friend told her that they have closed captioning on her television. She now gets to listen to more than one sermon on Sundays due to watching the closed captioning she uses on her television, which makes her much happier.

I am an assistant in different horse and animal clubs. I am on the board of directors in one of them. So many people are not aware that their horses needed different vitamins, just like people. They sell different horse supplements that horses need to keep the vitamins in their bodies, as well as how some of the supplements actually help their hair shine, keep healthy hooves and more. If more people would research the nutrition horses need that they don’t always get out of their food and hay, they would have much healthier horses.

My daughter’s school held a fund raiser to raise money to purchase new band equipment. The function they held was a carnival. They set up numerous games to play, a cake walk, bake sale and sold popcorn, soft drinks and other food items. I was in charge of operating the popcorn machines. They weren’t the extremely large ones. They were commercial medium sized ones. It was unbelievable how easy and fast they worked. After the carnival was over, the cleanup was very easy, too. Since I had extra time, I helped others clean up their areas. The fund raiser ended up making twice as much as they needed, so more music was bought and the rest of the money was shared with other departments at our school.

My sister recently found out that she was pregnant. She is so excited. This is her and her husband’s first child. She was even excited to start wearing maternity clothes. Nobody could believe that she actually wanted to wear them. Of course, most of them had already had 2 or more children, so they were tired of them. She went shopping one day to buy her some new maternity clothes and ended up buying many more than she had originally planned. She loved them! They came in so many different styles and colors. She had never really paid attention to the many different stores there were either, that sold maternity clothes. Now all she is waiting on is a little time to gain weight so she can begin wearing them.

My Mother and Father had an anniversary coming soon. It was the big important 50th Anniversary. My brothers and sisters wanted to do something special for them, but we  really weren’t sure what to do, or what my parents would like. We tried to decide if we should give them a reception, gift or pay for them to go on a trip. We set up an appointment with a travel agent to discuss luxury vacations. We decided to pay for them to go on a tip to Hawaii, since they always talked about going there. They never were able to take any big trips, due to how expensive it was to raise 4 children. We also gave them a low budget, inexpensive reception before they left. We learned that giving someone a luxury vacation, or taking one yourself, can sometimes be a one in a lifetime experience and one you’ll never forget.

My girlfriend gave me a nice USB flash drive as an early easter present this year. She knows that I love little gadgets like this and I was pretty surprised that she actually picked out a nice 4gb one. I’ve already used it to transfer some of the files from my home computer onto my work computer and vice versa. I love this little thing.

A friend of mine recently gave me a huge amount of CAT6 cable that was left over on a job that his company did. His company does alot of networking jobs and they always endup just leaving lots of cable and other random supplies at the jobs that are left over. My friend usually tries to gather up all of the left over items that he can and he either sells them or gives them to me.
