I think I'll try them

August 29th 2010 15:00
Okay I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for advertising. Lately there is all this hype about shoes that can help keep you in shape by working your leg muscles as you walk. Well I'm for anything that comes natural and doesn't require me to put out any additional effort. I guess there are numerous brands of these types of shoes but I've been looking mbt shoes . They look like quality shoes but I have never met anyone who has worn them, so I am wondering about how comfortable they are. If any of you own a pair could you tell me what you think?

Small Business Grants

August 26th 2010 16:16
Off and on throughout the years I've come up with some ideas for business that I thought would be great. Howvever, like many others, I usually fell short when it came to having the cash I needed to get started. No money, no business.

I remember spending hours at the library trying to research small business grants. It was horrible and confusing and I was never successful at finding anything. Boy, times have changed though.

My sister is looking at starting a business and she asked me to help her. I told her how tough it was for me but that I would try. Well I found an awesome website called business grants dot org. This is an amazing site.

You can find out what agencies at the city/local and federal level that actually have grants available. There is a section that gives you an overview of grants and the types of things they can be used for. And best of all, they tell you where to find these grants and how to apply for them. It is literally a one-stop shop for small business grants. Check them out!

Job Hunting

August 19th 2010 19:20
It is so weird to go to work and see everyone around you filling out resumes and applying for jobs. I know it even sounds strange to say that, but we all have temporary appointments that are rapidly coming to an end. It almost makes me sad, but I'm not looking for a job because I have the GI Bill and I've already got it all set up to start, so when my number is up here, I'm heading off to college.

Setting up to work out at home

August 16th 2010 00:47
I'm still doing pretty good on my fitness program. I joined the local gym and I have been going fairthfully, however, I'm hating it. It is such a hassle to have to go to the gym. I have an extra bedroom and so I think I am going to set up a gym here. That way, I don't have to get dressed and when I'm done I can hop right in my own shower.

I have an elliptical machine and a stationary bike. I also have a barbell and weights as well as an inversion table. I think the only other thing I need right now is a pull up bar. I see that they sell them but I'm a little uneasy about it. They show them being placed inside a door frame. I wonder if that will really be secure?

I am a huge bike week fan and try to hit as many rally’s as possible all over the country. On the top of the list is the one and only Daytona Beach Bike Week. A close second place rally, for the past 69 years, Myrtle Beach Bike Week. That is, of course, until last year.
Last year, the Myrtle Beach City Council and their Mayor, arbitrarily decided that they’d had enough of bike week. This sent a shock wave to local businesses as well as bikers throughout the country that made the annual trek faithfully.
They didn’t just come out and say, “We don’t want Bike Week,” that would have taken a bit of political courage. What they did do was try to enact several laws that would seriously discourage motorcyclists from getting anywhere near the town of Myrtle Beach. Some of things they enacted were: a “city” helmet law (contrary to the state law that allows motorcyclists over the age of 18 to choose), ridiculously stringent noise ordinances and twelve other new laws. All geared toward going after motorcyclists

I hate birthdays

August 7th 2010 14:04
Not mine, but everyone elses. It's not that I'm tight or anything because I actually love buying gifts for people. The part I hate is figuring out what to buy them. I never give people money because it is so impersonal (except for my mom but that is because she insists. It's okay though because she does artwork and buys her supplies with the money I give her.) so it can become very difficult. I'm thinking for my friend, whose birthday is next week that I might go to a hobby store and buy her some jewelry making tools because I know she really likes doing it. I'm just not sure what she might need. As much as I hate to, I may end up just getting her a gift certificate from an online store so she can pick what she wants.

Modern office furniture

August 7th 2010 13:57
Well I have put it off for a long time and I guess I need to just come up off the money and get myself some modern office furniture. I've been in this house for a couple of years and have been using some really old and makeshift things for my home office. I have an awesome new computer and printer/scanner and I would actually like to be able to sit comfortably in a new chair and at a nice desk. Maybe I'll go shopping for some furniture tomorrow.

I need a video card

July 24th 2010 23:31
I bought a new laptop which is awesome but I want to have my desktop in good working order. It's an older model but at the time it was the ultimate so I have put in more memory and I got a new keyboard, speakers and a monitor. I thought I was good to go but when I went to play a game there were some graphics problems. I guess I'm going to have to look at new video cards to see what's available.

Cabin stuff is cool

July 24th 2010 23:26
I went to a show at our local convention center and they had all kinds of camping and outdoor living stuff. More interesting though was that they had indoor furnishings that I think would look awesome in a cabin. The one thing I saw that I thought was really cool was log beds. The one I really liked was a king size and made completely of logs. It was so rustic and really not that expensive.

There are other options

July 10th 2010 15:09
While I was searching for an over the counter diet pill, I came upon a lot of articles about different options for losing weight. One of them was about eating certain food to burn fat.

I bookmarked a couple of these articles because it sounds interesting. Maybe if you do add certain foods it will help you. I don't know, but I do like the sound of "adding" food much better than taking food away!
