This is Not It….

This year as a way to get into shape, I decided to try something a little different. I’ve exercised and dieted before, and my results have been mixed, with some major achievements and some major pitfalls. Rather than sticking with the typical diet, I came up with the idea of substituting some meals with meal replacement shakes. I heard about Idealshape from a commercial and became curious about what it could do for me, so I looked for unbiased Idealshape reviews that would give me the true story on these meal replacement shapes. I would know once and for all if they were a worthy option for dieting and weight loss.

The reviews for the meal replacement shakes were impressive. Continue reading Replacing a Meal with a Good Shake

Of course I am really happy about and now I have a new home as well. It is a bit out of the way and a really well aged place, which means that there is a good bit of work to do. I have been trying to get a good deal from someone who installs adt in Las Vegas, but I do not want to be putting out so much money on that at the moment. I put everything that I had to hand into the down payment. In the long run I shall save all sorts of money, because the rent I was paying was a great deal more than the house payment is. Continue reading I Got a Promotion at the Resort

Taking my child to the Bukit Timah tuition centre turned out to be the best decision my wife and I made. He’s getting ready to take some very important exams at a school and he absolutely needed a lot of help in the subject of physics, which is admittedly one of the hardest subjects in school for most kids. My son can coast through most of his other subjects, but he comes to a skidding halt when it comes to anything related to this science topic. It was certainly one of my problem areas in school.

You’re either born with the knowledge to do well in this topic or you’re not, or at least that was how I always thought about it. I had a friend back in school who just excelled naturally at it. Continue reading My Kid Has a New Found Love for Physics

I never thought I would be able to make it moving my family and myself to Singapore for a long-term job project for the company I work for. I am from a state that has large areas of space where you can have days where you don’t hear any traffic or see anyone else other than your family. I pictured Singapore as being a crowded fully urbanized island nation. Well, the New Futura condo project where my company owns a residential condo was a real help in dispelling that preconceived viewpoint I had about Singapore.

I was thinking this way because I know people who have been to Japan, and I have a relative that lives in China. They are used to urban living, and they tell me how the concept of personal space is different in some other countries. My friend who spends a lot of time in Japan tells me how it is crowded yet orderly. However, seeing people packed into subways like sardines in a can is not my cup of tea. Continue reading Finding Personal Space on an Island Filled with People

Thanks to an aesthetic medical clinic for Singapore, my wife and I successfully rid our daughter of a really bad case of acne. We moved here about six months ago and she’d been having the problem back in the States. We managed to keep it under control there, but I think the stress of moving across the world to a brand new city caused her acne to get much worse. It got so bad that she didn’t even want to go to school, and frankly I couldn’t blame her. It did look quite awful and I didn’t want her to get bullied at her new school.

My husband and I researched our options and found a clinic nearby that treats acne with all the modern techniques. Continue reading They Sure Fixed My Daughter’s Acne

If you are a fan of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), you know that it is not always easy to find the best providers. The great thing is that doing your due diligence will certainly lead you in the right direction. Here are some pointers that will help you locate good TCM in Singapore.

Don’t Let Price Guide You

One thing you have to remember is that good TCM in Singapore and bargain basement prices are not usually synonymous. The old adage about getting what you pay for certainly applies here. If your main point is to save money, there is a chance that the provider you find will be less than stellar. Continue reading How to Find Good TCM in Singapore

Well it is not exactly like that, but I have been taking some classes in advertising to help me with the new job that I have sort of been squeezed into. I am taking a course called skillsfuture copywriting right now, which is about learning how to make print ads for the most part. At any rate this is a rather strange position, since I do not really have too much education in the field that I am working in. I knew nothing about advertising when I got here, but they somehow decided that I should do it. Continue reading I Have Gone Back to School

I used to take things like tying my shoes for granted, and I know that I will do the same thing again one day. Right now though, I am just very thankful that I can do it. I didn’t have any problems up to about a year ago. Then, my knee went crazy on me, and I was having a hard time with the pain. My doctor said it was arthritis, and that there was very little that could be done. He did tell me that I could see a chiropractor in Camas who would be able to help me manage the pain better.

I knew I needed to do something because it was so bad that I could not even bend down to tie my shoes. My husband did not mind helping me, but I wanted to be able to do something as simple as that without feeling like crying because it hurt so bad to bend my knee. Continue reading Chiropractic Care Has Helped Me with My Arthritis

I guess it is simply having new-to-me surroundings that causes me to become so excited about moving to another apartment. It’s not like I get bored of where I am living. But finding something that is new and even better than where I lived before is so fun to me. I even love move-in day! I went through a lot of sites looking for a place that sparked something in me, and I came across a website showing an apartment complex that looked amazing to me. I have a nice place, but this place is even nicer and costs even less! I was really looking forward to going there to take a look around as soon as possible.

I am lucky that I don’t spend my money on frivolous things. Instead, I like to Make sure that I have a lot of money on hand for any types of emergencies that come up at any time. Continue reading I Can’t Wait to Live in the Nice Place That I Found

You know that song about working on the railroad? Well, I actually do that for a living. I am not an engineer who drives the trains. I am the guy who does the heavy lifting fixing the miles and miles of track. I use big and small machines and have to do everything from manually dig to even welding rails. There is a tremendous amount of lifting, bending and stooping. I would not be able to keep my job if it were not for my chiropractor in Sacramento that I go to at least a couple of times per month. When I really aggravate my back, I go a couple or three times per week.

The relief I get beats any pill or muscle rub. Sometimes I go it is just for extreme muscle fatigue. Other times it is nerve pain from a subluxation of a vertebra. When the pain shoots down my leg into my foot, I know it is sciatica pain. An adjustment fixes that right up. Continue reading My Railroad Job Does a Job on My Back

I was driving down the road a few weeks ago when some young guy ran a stop sign and plowed right into me. I was going slow, but he was speeding. I spent a night in the hospital for observation, and they told me when I was released that I should follow up with my primary care physician. They also suggested that I see a chiropractor in Redding CA because accident victims sometimes do not feel the brunt of their injuries until days or even weeks after the accident has happened.

I was already hurting, so that was not something I wanted to hear. I thought that I was already going through the worst of it, so I decided to take their advice right away and contact a local chiropractor. Continue reading Why I Have Regular Chiropractic Appointments

Last week I made an appointment to take a tour of the local apartment community. They’ve been on my radar for several months now, but I’m just now getting around to focusing on my move and finding my next home. I’m really excited to take a closer look at the community and visit site features that only residents can access. The person I scheduled a tour with sounded very nice on the phone, and made me feel very welcomed, even before setting foot on the property. I’ll make sure that I wear my walking shoes, because I plan on taking in every square inch of the facilities.

One of the things that I want to focus on when I’m there is the clubhouse. Continue reading Scheduling an Appointment for an Apartment Tour

Looking for a new place has never been fun for me. There are some people out there who enjoy taking their time and finding just the right place to live, even if it takes them weeks or even months. I just don’t have that kind of patience. When I had to move closer to Atlanta, I decided to go online and find an apartment that way. I had never done that before, but I figured it would be a quick and efficient way to find what I want. It definitely proved to be both those things when I found www.padonharvard.com.

This is the website for a new apartment complex that is right on the outskirts of Atlanta, and it is actually in the perfect location for me since my job is on the outskirts of Atlanta as well. I thought that I would end up getting an apartment in the city and commuting, but this makes my travel time so much easier. Continue reading So Much I Like About the Pad

My cousin Vince is the one who found this place for me. It about half a dozen blocks from where he lives and he was looking at buying it for a flipping project, but he was not sure that he could get the finances. He is already working on this place. Of course he knows what he is doing and he gave me a list of the things that I need to do. One of the first things is to get an exterminator in NYC to come in and find out what he needs to do. The place has some bugs and maybe some rodents, but that is something that you have to hire someone else to do. Continue reading Just Started Work on the New House

My husband works in construction, and he has told me about the amount of waste that he has seen on different job sites that he visits. He has especially seen this with copper, because the price of scrap copper can make it quite worthwhile to collect as much scrap as possible to sell it to a scrap metal dealer. He asked his boss if it would be okay to start taking the scrap copper metal home with him after a job was done, and his boss had no problem with that. If he did not take it, then the owner of the property would just end up throwing it out or making money on it.

His boss did not think it was worth it to sell the scrap metal to a dealer because he thought that it would probably break him even. Continue reading Scrap Copper Can Really Add Up

Did you know that chiropractors can go to school for more hours than what an MD does? They also are likely to be more highly trained in reading imaging results from things such as xrays, and are likely to spend three or four times the amount of time learning diagnostics. The MD has more hours in pathology, psychiatry, and learning to prescribe medications. A chiropractor does not prescribe medicines. I went to a chiropractor in Campbell CA that was recommended by my DO. That is a Doctor of Osteopathy.

A DO is an MD that has received more training. They know more of how the body is connected as a unit. For example, my DO explained how the pain in my scapula was associated with the digestive issues I was having. Continue reading When Seeing the Chiropractor is More Than Just for Backaches

I needed appliance repair in Sacramento immediately. My stokve broke and Thanksgiving was the very next day. I had 18 family members who had already arrived for the big meal that I was preparing. It was too late in the day to find an appliance store open so that I could buy a new one. I had made some things in advance, but I had a fridge full of foods that I had not yet prepared. The thought of all the food going to waste and needing to order a dozen pizzas for our holiday meal was not appealing.

After consulting the phone book and calling 15 different appliance repair businesses, I finally found a company that answered when I called. the man who picked up the phone sounded very tired. In the background, I could hear a lot of people talking. I thought maybe he was at a restaurant at first. I told him why I was calling. he then told me that he understood, he had been watching his wife running around the house trying to get ready for their own Thanksgiving meal. He said that he had 10 family members who had come in just for the occasion. He was willing to help me.

It turned out that the man that I spoke to to that night was someone that I went to college with. It was great to see him and get caught up while he worked on getting my stove running again. My old friend was the owner of the appliance company that I called, and he was doing really well for himself. The fact that he showed up the night before a major holiday spoke volumes about what a good company he runs. I will be sure to use his service the very next time I need someone again.

I am not a picky person when it comes to most things. However, when it comes to where I will live, I want certain things that I am just not willing to compromise on. I am the type of person who is completely happy living in an apartment, but I have certain standards for the ones I will live in. When I decided to move, I did an online search for an apartment for rent in Cordova TN so I could narrow down the list easier. I knew that I would be able to find out the features and details of the different complexes right from their website.

The main thing I needed was a management team that takes their responsibilities seriously. Continue reading I Am Picky when It Comes to Apartments

When we moved here we had a couple of window air conditioners. One was in the bedroom, and the other one was in the living room. We worked hard to be able to buy this old house. We have been renovating it ever since. We bought it soon after we were married. We have two children and central air now. The kids are 12 and 15, and the AC started blowing warm air during a hot week in July. We called a local company that does air conditioner repair in NYC to come out and take a look at the system. The company that installed it was no longer in business.

We never did anything to the system since we had it installed other than to keep the fall leaves from gathering around the unit with the fan on the outside of the house out back. Continue reading Low Refrigerant and Dirty Coils Had Our AC Blowing Warm Air
