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?

For many years I’ve been interested in the new contact lens technology that allows more people to wear contacts than ever before.  The contact lens technology has progressed to the point where there are very few people in the world that can’t wear contact lenses.  I tried contacts many years ago but wasn’t happy with them – at the time the eye doctor said that I had to wear semi-soft lenses.  Well, I couldn’t get those crazy things out of my eyes!  So I gave up.  Well, after reading about the latest contact lenses on the market, I’m thinking that maybe I’ll give it another try.

Sometimes I wonder why in the world people would want hundreds upon hundreds on television channels on their television!  When I was growing up, we only had a rotating antenna on our rooftop and got about six television stations!  We would spend most of our day working or playing, and only watch the television in the evenings or on Saturday morning (cartoons for the kids!)

Life sure has changed since the introduction of cable and satellite television!  Most of my friends and neighbors now have Direct Satellite TV for their television.  They tell me how much they enjoy being able to watch so many different sports channels on their Direct TV, and so many good movies, too!  I can see why having Satellite Directv would be especially good for shut-ins who can’t move around very much – at least having the wide variety of choices could help prevent them from going stir-crazy!  I just hope that healthy people balance their lives and get plenty of exercise, too!  Maybe put a television in front of their treadmill so they’re walking while watching!

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!

I see many people who eat something (for example yogurt) because they say they are trying to lose weight.  I look at the caloric value of the yogurt and it is about 200 calories for the container.  Then I look at the caloric value of a Little Debbie Nutty bar – a wonderful chocolate covered wafer with peanut butter filling (yum!) and find that it has the same caloric count!  So if I’m hungry for a sweet snack and have a choice between yogurt and a Nutty Bar, it is going to take a lot of will power to get me to chose the yogurt!  I much prefer a sweet flavor and a crunch!
