Germs

Scarier Than Zombies

I know I’m going to jinx myself, but thanks to large quantities of disinfectant, avoiding other humans at all costs, and some luck, this is the first winter in my life when I haven’t caught a cold or even a sniffle.

It’s also one of the benefits of being an introvert – no people, no germs. Well, for the most part. That’s where the “luck” comes in I guess.

Granted, now that I’ve written this, I’ll have H1N1 flu within days.

Leave Me Alone

I love the self-checkout lanes at my local grocery store. I wish all stores had these.

It’s so much nicer just running my own purchases across the barcode scanner and bagging them up than to be subjected to the random chit-chat that real human cashiers always subject me to.

I don’t go to the store to socialize. It’s OK to tell me the total amount of my purchase, but even that’s not necessary. I can see, and I’m just putting it on a card anyhow.

Wii Will Survive

Never Give Up

My wii is probably getting pretty confused… Every few months we get bored with the games we have, and the poor little guy gets pushed to the back of the shelf behind the other game systems, only to collect dust and wonder if anyone remembers that it exists.

Then a great new game will be released (actually, we just picked up two of them recently) and it’s suddenly the star of the videogame world again, playing practically nonstop for days.

Indoor Outdoor

Some of Each

I need the warm weather!

It seems that no matter how nice you furnish your indoor recreation and media rooms with the best game tables, home theater, arcade games and bar, the enjoyment just lasts so long before you need to be outside.

Or maybe that’s just me… I mean, I love the cool stuff in there, and it sure beats the cold – but I need some sunshine and spring air really soon.

Comparing Weight Loss Solutions

Too Much Information

OK, forget what I said about researching weight loss solutions… There are way too many choices out there, with a lot of claims and information for each of them.

What would be ideal is a single weight loss pill comparison site, with the features, pros, and cons of each of the leading weight loss pills listed side-by-side.

There are just too many places to look if you want to come up with this information on your own.

Pain

And Suffering

It’s almost Super Bowl time!

While this is my favorite day of the year, it’s also a bit depressing that I won’t be watching any more football until August.

It also reminds me that I need to make sure my term life insurance is paid up to date…

Super Bowl means a Sunday party with some close friends, which always includes a pickup game of football on the front lawn with friends and neighbors. And with each passing year, it seems that this becomes more painful, and recovery takes longer than before.

 
 

It’s Not Whats on the Outside

It’s Not Whats on the Outside

No, Just Kidding. It Is…

A few posts ago I mentioned that live television personalities must have switched over to the best acne treatment so they could be seen on our HDTVs without scaring the children… That reminds me, however, of something else I’ve been wondering lately…

What the heck happened to Brad Pitt? What’s with the beard with the little braids in it? I really hope this is a look he’s working on for some new role in a movie or something, because it’s not looking good, especially in high def.

Knowledge is Power

When I mentioned in several recent blog posts about the desire to lose weight, a few readers commented that xenadrine rfa x worked well for them in their weight-loss endeavors.

I wasn’t really very familiar with this one when they mentioned it, but as I’ve learned more about it I’m beginning to think they might just be on to something.

Of course, I’ll have to learn more and do some comparisons, but it does seem worth pursuing.

No Whales

In My Pool

It’s hard to believe that January is coming to an end this week. Seems that this winter is going by very quickly here in the south (yay!).

Of course, the downside it that now I need to start losing weight so I don’t scare people at the pool. I’ll either need to go the phentermine or exercise route, or more likely a combination of the two. But, I’ll definitely need to do something before I start stripping in public.

 
 

Sleep

Sleep

Who Has The Time?

There really aren’t enough hours in the day for those of us trying to take full advantage of modern society.

It seems that a great eye cream to help with those circles and bags is almost a necessity for most of us. Success, as we know, comes to those who work the hardest to achieve their dreams. And with that work, you really need to play equally as hard.

What it really comes down to is that we simply don’t have enough time to do it all and get the sleep that our bodies really need. So, something needs to be sacrificed – and that’s usually the sleep.
