I used to hate my smile, but now I love it. I give all the credit for that to the Aurora cosmetic dentist that I started visiting last summer. I hated that when my friends and I took pictures, everyone had a bright smile but me. No one could really see my smile because I would just not show it. I would even laugh with my mouth closed. Now it is not like my teeth were super ugly or anything, but they paled in comparison to my friends, who all had movie star smiles.

I decided to see a new dentist who might be able to help me with this issue last year. I had been seeing the same dentist for years, and there was just the very basic care and attention given. Read the rest of this entry »

When I moved to Denver, I fell in love with the city. It was so easy to find favorite places, like the best place to go dancing, the best place for pizza, the best place to go biking, and all kinds of other things. It was not until I was there for nearly two months that I knew I had to find another thing. It was nearly time for my dental cleaning, and there was no way I was going to travel nearly 90 minutes to go to my former dentist. I did a search for a Denver dentist, knowing that there were going to be lots in the immediate area.

I was not wrong either. There were so many that I thought at first it might be better to just pick one at random. Read the rest of this entry »

Finding www.bloomlasvegas.com while searching for a place to stay during the extensive home renovations was a godsend. When we decided to redo several rooms in our house, we didn’t think we would soon be trying to find an apartment to stay in for a few months. It took about three days of all the construction people tromping through the house and making noise before we knew we needed to find a place to stay until the work was done. Considering they’re talking about the job taking three months, we needed an apartment to move into very quickly.

I thought the big problem would be finding a nice apartment complex that would allow us to rent for just a few months. Some of the places I checked into didn’t seem enthused about doing a short term lease. I had visions of us living in our car for three months before finding the aforementioned website.

Being a single parent is one of the toughest jobs in the world, because I have to play the role of both the mother and the father. My wife passed away many years ago, and I had to raise our son on my own. It’s more of a learning process for the both of us. My son has to cope with his mother not being there, and so do I. Recently we had to move, so I searched for 2 bedroom apartments for Las Vegas. My son didn’t want to move because all of his friends would be gone.

I understand the difficulty my son was facing. Read the rest of this entry »

Moving is not all that bad. Well, the actual “moving” part is not. I did the mail forwarding and got my new license pretty fast after moving. Got new plates on my car in my new state and everything. I even called my cellular provider. The hard thing about moving to another state is finding that perfect apartment to move into. I have to credit a certain apartment finder for North Charleston SC that helped me find a great new place. I have always been particular, so I wanted to use an apartment finder that let me actually locate what it was I was looking for.

I needed a place that was not more than three floors up. It also had to be a place that was okay with me having all of my electronics items. I like to work on old electronics to restore them to functional use. Read the rest of this entry »

I was checking my email the other day and noticed an interesting email from my parents. They sent me the link to an apartment community that’s located near our current home. I think they were trying to give me a subtle hint that it’s time for me to move out on my own. I opened the email, and it told me to click here for more information, so I did. When I landed on the site, as immediately greeted by large, lively images of people who were having fun in their homes. The people looked really excited, and it made me excited about the possibility of having my own place. I decided to explore the site a little more.

Before I get back, I called my mom into my room. Read the rest of this entry »

This friend of mine was supposed to work out with me to get ready for football season, but instead he has hired a personal trainer in Denver or at least his father has. Of course he is looking to get a college scholarship, and so am I. However it is obvious that he is not as close to that as I am. For starters I am able to get on the field and I have been for the whole time I have been in high school. At first they would put me in on special teams, which really is not the safest way to make the team. However I always liked it, I suppose the danger of all those bodies flying around gets me excited. At any rate I have been playing on both sides of the ball ever since I was a freshman. Read the rest of this entry »

My husband and I had separated briefly because I could no longer handle our living conditions. We had moved in with his parents after our wedding because the deal on our house had fallen through. It was supposed to be temporary, but that turned into two years. I was miserable and knew I had to leave if it meant saving my sanity. I looked at some apartments in Stone Oak San Antonio because I just wanted to be on my own again, and that is when my husband finally came around.

He did not realize that living with his parents was going to be such a hardship on me, and he asked me if we could look at apartments together. I was upset that it took me leaving to get him to this point, but I was also thrilled that he was at this point. I showed him the apartments at Regency at Outlook Canyon, and he really liked everything he saw too. Read the rest of this entry »

Rush hour traffic has always been a pain, but there was just no getting around it. I wish nearly every day now that I still had to complain about it though, because I spend most of my days just sitting at home now. I was involved in an accident on the freeway, and it has forever changed my life. Thankfully, I was able to bring a car accident attorney in Sacramento into the case once I saw that I was in over my head with the insurance company. I was offered a settlement that seemed to be okay, and that was my first hint that something was not right.

I knew enough about insurance companies to know that they want to settle fast and to their advantage. Though the figure I was given was decent, I just felt like they were trying to get me to sign away any future claims by agreeing to their terms. It could have been a valid settlement too, I just did not know. Read the rest of this entry »

I fell over backwards from the arm of our couch. I rolled completely backwards doing a reverse somersault twisting my neck before I then hit the floor. The kids and I were wrestling, and they thought it was funny. I felt like I broke my neck! It hurt really bad, and I ended up going to the ER. A scan did not reveal any damage other than some bruising from stretching the muscles really hard. I did not break anything. However, I ended up going to a Campbell chiropractor because my neck hurt for weeks afterwards. I could feel funny sensations on my head and neck too. The chiropractor suspected that I pinched or otherwise seriously irritated some nerves coming out of my spine when I did my unintended acrobatic maneuver. Read the rest of this entry »

My husband was injured at work last month and is now on disability. After weeks of physical therapy, his back is still giving him lots of problems. His physical therapist suggested that he should contact a chiropractor in Mesa. We did some research and found one that will take on workers’ compensation patients. Now we just have to wait for his first appointment which is in six days.

My husband is a very impatient person and was getting kind of cranky as the days seemed to drag on before his first appointment. He was in so much pain and it was unbearable for me to watch. Read the rest of this entry »

I have heard people complain of a pinched nerve before, but I never really gave it much thought because I had never felt the pain or discomfort associated with it. That changed last year though when I had almost unbearable pain in my neck when I moved it certain ways. I tried a heating pad, ice compresses, sleeping with a new pillow, over the counter pain pills, and more, but nothing took that pain away. The only thing left for me to do was find a San Jose chiropractor that would be able to see me soon.

I was able to make an appointment with Stevens Creek Chiropractic for the following day. I had no idea what to expect as I had never been to this kind of doctor before. Read the rest of this entry »

I bought a really old refrigerator for use in cabins we are renovating to have a period look. I had the refrigerator completely disassembled and put back together with a modern compressor that would take new refrigerant. It was working fine, but there was a problem with the temperature setting. I had this refrigerator rebuilt out of state. I called a local place that does appliance repair in Sacramento to come out and take a look at it to see if the could fix it.

Well, the technician was really surprised to see it, and he was not worried about working on it at all. He said that after all his years of fixing appliances, the fancy coverings over the inner components does not mean much. Read the rest of this entry »

I often procrastinate, and when I do, I can usually still get tasks done without any negative repercussions. This changed when I decided to wait on getting rid of the English Ivy on one of my trees. The Ivy grew up the tree over the years and I would always ignore it when I did my yard work. When it rains, the tree becomes heavier because of the water collecting on the Ivy. This caused one of the branches of the tree to break, falling on the roof of my house. Roof replacement in Brooklyn NY was needed to fix the damage from the branch.

I was lucky that only the branch fell from the tree. The entire tree could have fallen on my home and it would have destroyed a good portion of it. I could have even been crushed under the tree if it fell on my house. Read the rest of this entry »

I have been slowly expanding my music collection into new areas, trying to learn about international music and see what suits my taste. Of course this started out when I was working on an independent movie that was directed by a guy from the southern part of India. He was listening to some stuff called baixar mp3 on the internet. I was curious and we talked about it for a little while. He was trying to explain to me what they were talking about, apparently it was some sort of Indian metaphor about rain, which you will probably understand if you have seen many Bollywood movies. I have seen a number of them myself, although they make them over there the way that we make popcorn. The market for movies is ridiculously large over there and of course you have not one audience like we have in the USA, but a couple of dozen of them. Read the rest of this entry »

One of my favorite games to play when I have a little spare time during work is My Cafe. It’s a simple game where you have to serve customers at your own restaurant. Most of my friends have moved on from those types of games, but I still like to play them. There’s something about doing simplified versions of actual jobs that is interesting to me. One thing I don’t like about the game is how hard it is to get diamonds and coins. Unless you want to start using real money, the my cafe cheats is the best way to get these items.

The cheat makes it possible to have an unlimited amount of coins and diamonds whenever you want. Normally a player would have to either pay money or play for hours on end to get the coins and diamonds they need. The companies that make these games design them with monetization in mind.

I had heard about breast enhancement surgery before, but I was not willing to go under the knife just to be able to buy a bigger bra. That didn’t take away my desire to have bigger breasts though, which makes sense. It wasn’t just about attracting a guy either. A lot of clothes are designed for women with a nice chest, and I was not able to take advantage of any of those. I admit that I had a bit of low self esteem because of it too, though I did hide that under a humorous outlook as much as possible. Read the rest of this entry »

When I decided to change the decor of my living room, I decided to have it repainted as well. I could have done this myself, but I honestly did not want to devote the time or energy to such a large project. I also knew that while I am okay with painting, that a professional would make it look so much better too. That is why I started a search for a quality painter in Bergen County NJ, and it really did not take me very long at all to find the one I decided to use.

One thing that really impressed me with this company was their four step process when it comes to transforming any room with a paint job. Read the rest of this entry »

Pay stubs are not legal documents, but so many places treat them as such. Not everyone gets a pay stub or check stub as they are also called. You probably will need them to get things such as a phone line at your house or to get anything that involves credit or loans. I work for myself and pay my own taxes. I am not great at separating out money into separate accounts, but I do keep track of how much I earn each week after expenses. In order to satisfy a request, I used a check stub maker I found online to create very realistic looking check stubs. When I presented them as evidence of my income, they were accepted without question.

The information was accurate, but was just presented in the format you see on pay stubs you get from regular employers. I was not going to go out and buy expensive accounting software just to make a month of check stubs to make some bureaucrat happy. Read the rest of this entry »

When my sister was not able to see a doctor right away about the vaginal discharge she was experiencing, she decided to go online and see what she could find out about it herself. The appointment was not for four weeks, and she wanted to make sure that nothing bad could happen from such a delay. The more she read about vaginal discharge, the more she realized she needed to actively work on eliminating it before her appointment. That is how she found out about Crystal X, a natural herbal supplement that helps women everywhere with abnormal discharge.

She read that discharge is normal, but it can also be abnormal as well. Read the rest of this entry »
