My cousin’s girlfriend Bri has been raving about how much she loves her new magnetic bracelet.  She said that it has helped her arthritis tremendously!  So I started doing a little bit of research on magnetic therapy.  I couldn’t believe how many ailments magnets are supposed to help! From headaches, backaches, insomnia, stress, to diabetes!   Bri told me that she bought her bracelet at the billythetree.com website.  So I’ve gone online to check them out. 

Their prices certainly seem reasonable enough, and they have a good shipping and satisfaction policy.  I think I’ll order one for myself and see if I notice any difference in how I feel!  Sometimes I wonder if these things “work” because of the placebo effect, so I’m always curious, yet cautious.  What is your experience?  Do you have any magnetic jewelry?  Has it improved your life?

I was looking for a video on you tube of Aretha Franklin singing “I’ve got the music in me” but couldn’t find one!  While looking, I found this version of her song “Think” that was adapted and changed to be a message about drinking and driving!  I’ve never heard this version, I thought it was great!  I hope you enjoy it too!  AND take the message seriously too!

My dear great-aunt decided it was time for me to be more creative and gave me a ton of fabric that she had collected over the years.  She said that it was time to pass the torch of fabric collecting on to a younger family member!  Some of this fabric is beautiful and I can see why she would be attracted to it.  Some of it though, is just plain ugly!  Naturally she didn’t put any labels on any of it telling me what the content is, or the yardage, so I guess the first thing to do is measure it all out and pin small notes on them telling me how much fabric there actually is!  Then I have to figure out what to actually DO with it!

Online Colleges certainly seem to be increasing in popularity lately!  I have many friends who are taking courses in their spare time through one online college or another.  They are very excited about it because they tend to cost less money than brick and mortar colleges, and taking the courses online makes for an easier schedule.  Most online courses you can take the classes at whatever time is convenient for you, so it is much easier than trying to fit in a class according to when you can get child care!

Many times a person’s employer can find a way to assist the student with tuition reimbursement which provides a lot of incentive as well!  One of the things I like about taking courses online is that I can pause for a few minutes and take a break if I need to without disrupting an entire classroom!  And note taking is much easier too!  I’m not the kind of person that can sit through a long boring lecture and actually learn anything!  My learning style is much more visual oriented.  I learn best by reading and writing things down. 

That makes online courses a better fit for me, and I think that may also be a big reason why so many other students are using online courses as well.  Plus, you can go to class in your jammies if you want to!

I have heard many nightmare stories from friends and relatives about the stress involved with moving from one house to another.  What is especially difficult, it seems, is moving families that have been in one place a long time.  Isn’t it amazing how much “stuff” people accumulate and are reluctant to part with?  I find it rather sad that so many people (myself included) tend to be pack-rats! 

One way to reduce the stress of moving is to use this great website that helps you to compare movers for their prices and services.  In this tight economy, you want to make sure that you get the best value for your dollar!  Yes, you want to save money, but you also need to ensure that your belongings are well cared for during the move!
