Reverse Aging

I Know It’s True

Why haven’t they invented those incredible anti anti aging creams like the ones we see in cartoons so often?

No, I don’t mean the creams that just make you look younger – I mean the creams that actually do make you younger.

You’ve seen them… Where if you apply too much of it you revert back to your infant years.

This would be really cool to have – as long as you could very precisely determine what age you were going to end up at.

The Real Home Office

Secrets Revealed

Why can’t they make home furniture as durable and long lasting as office furniture?

It seems that furniture in my house starts falling apart after a few months. But, the desks, chairs, tables, and cabinets at my office have been in constant use for the past few decades, and are still going strong.

Granted, my kids and pets aren’t continually attacking the furniture at my office like they are in my house – so I suspect that has a lot to do with it. Probably also the reason that kids and pets are not allowed in my office.

 
 

Online vs Offline

Online vs Offline

No Brainer

The more I think about colleges now, the more I think that online bachelor degree programs are the way to go.

Why bother living in a stinky dorm or dealing with a daily commute to your college or university. It’s not like you can’t still attend the great parties, even if you’re attending mostly online.

Obviously, this doesn’t work for everything. I wouldn’t want my brain surgeon to have attended an online-only program. But, my business manager, marketing professional, or IT manager? I don’t see that it makes a difference to the overall quality of the education they receive.

Super Diet Pills

The Future

I don’t need to diet. I just need really good diet pills.

You know, sort of like on the Jetsons, where your entire meal is contained in a pill – only in the reverse. I want to be able to eat all of the tasty, high-fat, foods that I can get my hands (and tongue) on – then just take a little diet pill that immediately vaporizes all of the calories that I just ate.

Is that asking too much?

Oh… Yeah… And I want my flying car too.

Ipad Warranty

Protect It

Looks like I’m becoming an Apple sheep, just like those millions of others that stand in line for the release of the next great Apple product.

I somehow went from having no interest in the iPad to researching the best iPad warranty to ensure that I’m not without the device for more than a day if it should ever stop working.

The iPad is a very cool product though. I greatly underestimated the impact it could have on the life of its owner. Mr. Jobs won me over on this one.

 
 

Do It Online

Do It Online

Everything’s Easier

I am getting so tired of seeing those little flashing lights on my printer that insist I keep spending more money on ink. Why do I even bother?

It would be so much easier to just use an online printing service for anything that requires high quality printing, like catalogs, business cards, postcards, brochures, letterhead, or posters.

Then I could use my own printer for draft copies and quick prints.

Heck, using this method, there’s a pretty good chance that I’d save money in the long run, even while enjoying higher quality print.

 
 

The 30-30 Rule

The 30-30 Rule

Or The 10-10 Rule

You don’t have to read very many Clinicallix reviews to come to the conclusion that you might just be spending too much time with that whole weight-loss program.

I mean, lose “30 pounds in 30 days”? That sounds really nice if it can be easily achieved. Not that I need to lose 30 pounds… But, if I could go with “10 pounds in 10 days” (those are my words, not theirs), that would be just about perfect.

Of course, I could gain those 10 pounds back in 5 days.

Eat and Drink

Or, Combine Into One

While I may have to order a few extra cases of those great fat burner pills, I have to admit that I recently discovered an awesome milkshake from a national ice cream shop (I’ll withhold their name to protect the innocent) that I absolutely cannot live without.

Coming in at a mere 2,010 calories, it seems that it would also be a very healthy drink. I mean, it contains milk, which is obviously good for you.

I probably shouldn’t drink more than one of these per year. But, that’s going to be a hard restriction to keep.

 
 

Eczema Facts

Eczema Facts

Good Sources

Having a family member who has suffered with eczema pretty much since birth, I’ve found some interesting facts on eczematreatment.org that shed some light on this incurable affliction.

The good news, or course, is that treatments in form of relief have advanced substantially over the years. So, while there’s still no definitive cure, there are at least products available to make life with eczema more bearable.

HSA

Smart Move

I honestly don’t understand why this isn’t common knowledge yet, but signing up for a health savings account early last year was the single greatest medical insurance related thing I’ve done in my adult life.

The concept is so simple, yet beneficial to anyone using one that it’s really a no-brainer.

That being said, not all health savings accounts are created equal. You do need to do at least some amount of research and studying to ensure you’re opting in to a good one.
