1). An Afternoon In An Angel Sanctuary
If you have never heard of an angel sanctuary, then you are not alone. In fact, until I was assigned to spend an afternoon at one and then write about it for my job I had never heard of an angel sanctuary either.
I made the three hour trek from my home outside of Denver to the nearest angel sanctuary that sat far back in the mountains of my state. I was full of curiosity and a little bit of nervousness as I drove to the angel sanctuary for the very simple reason that I had no clue what to expect from this experience.
2). Antarctica, Is It Really In Danger?
With all of the fervor these days about the dangers of global warming many people are concerned about the fate of Antarctica. The fears are that the ice that makes up the continent is melting faster than normal and not freezing back as it usually does with a very even ebb and flow. The concerns are that this will eventually raise the sea level enough to put major cities and land masses under water and leave millions of people homeless and/or even dead.
3). Apartments: They Might Be Right For You!
Are you just about to graduate from college? Are you hoping to move in to a little place of your own? Does the idea of buying a house right now seem a little bit out of your league? Are you about to start a new job and now you need to find a close place to live? If any of these things are true of you, then apartments might be the best option for you.
Apartments can be great for young people right out of college for a lot of reasons. First, apartments are affordable. At th...
4). Business Card, Here To Stay?
For as long as I have been alive (all of 27 years) business cards have been a very popular way to solidify a contact. Printing of the cards has gotten to be more quality for less money and so everyone and their brother has a business card. When I was real young it was a phone number and maybe a fax number if the office was real up and coming on the technology scene.
5). Car Tires, Your Link With The Road
Car tires are more important than many people give them credit for being. They are literally your link with the road. The most dangerous place for you to be is out of or in poor contact with the road. In this predicament you are not able to have any input into your course of direction and that is a bad thing when you are going 60 plus miles per hour with no way to avoid crashing into something.
6). Catamarans Shopping
The internet has been such a blessing in so many ways to those that have taken the plunge and accepted the fact that it is the future and have jumped on board and started using it to their advantage even with larger purchase such as people wanting to buy catamarans online. There are so many ways that it brings all of the necessary services that you normally would have to either take a personal day to take care of during the work day and/or drive across town or the country to accomplish without on the internet capabilities.
7). Cataracts & What You Can Do About Them
So before we even start let me assure you that I will not be talking about the waterfall type of cataracts in this article and won’t be talking about civil engineering type projects. What I am talking about is the condition of the eye that is actually an opacification of the lens that disrupts the vision of nearly half of the population of the elderly.
8). Cheat Codes: Ethical?
The main purpose in this article is to evaluate the ethics of cheat codes to decide whether or not this is something that we want to promote in this society. So first what are cheat codes? Well for the purposes of this exposition I will define a cheat code as any sort of input that one can use in a video game whether it be on a computer or a dedicated gaming system, in order to advance further than they would normally in the game by their own skill.
9). Chiropractic Services: For Your Health
There are a variety of ways that people today can protect and even promote the health of their bodies. There are more than enough diets to choose from no matter what kinds of foods you love or hate. People can join an expensive diet club to receive accountability for their weight loss goals or people can join expensive gyms filled with amazing equipment that many people do not even know how to operate.
10). Consider Gates Outside Your Home
As a landscape architect, there are many things that I like to see people add to their lawns and properties to give them the special touches. I love helping people plant trees and bushes in just the right spots and I love turning a yard filled with dirt into a beautifully landscaped lawn the very next year. I have recently been feeling a bit more risky in my profession and so I have been suggesting different things to my clients.
11). Discover The Mystery Of Marine Life
I have always been a naturally curious person. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always been full of questions. My mother and father frequently tell me and my family stories about how they could never make it through a car ride, a grocery trip or almost anything without me stopping them at least once with a question. For me, everything holds a little bit of mystery and magic.
12). Do A Credit Application Today
We all know that life is expensive and that sometimes we just don't have enough cash to purchase the things in life that we really need. For example, not too many people have enough cash laying around the house to purchase a new car or a house or to finance a college education. And this is where credit comes in. You see, there are many more ways to finance a purchase than just having cash.
13). Don't Forget To Smile
I like to think that I have learned a lot of things from living my life. It seems my years have been filled with a whole lot of good things with a few really hard things in between. I have had the privilege of knowing a lot of really great people and I've enjoyed countless memories with each of them. I have been happily married for quite a few years and I've been blessed with several children.
14). Don't Hesitate To Get Alcohol Treatment
If you or someone you know is struggling with an addiction to or dependancy on alcohol, than I have one suggestion and one suggestion only: don't hestitate to get the alcohol treatment that is needed. It seems like people are not embarrassed about drinking alcohol until it gets to a level where they have a problem that requires attention and care. Then people seem to be filled with a lot of shame about their problems with alcohol.
15). Don't Ignore The Need For Energy Conservation
Unless you don't have a television, the internet or access to a newspaper, then it is likely that you have heard a lot about the need for energy conservation in the past months and years. I have heard so much about the energy crisis in our land and I am convinced that every citizen of the West cannot ignore the fact that there is a need for energy conservation on the individual level and on the corporate and national level.
16). Drywall, A Common And Very Important Building Material
We have all probably used drywall at one time or another in our lives and we know what it takes to finish the stuff even if we have never touched. We know that it goes on all inside walls and that it won’t hold heavier hangings like shelves and large pictures and so we need to find the studs beneath. We may have also had experience repairing a hole that was intentionally or unintentionally placed in a wall.
17). Education Leads To Freedom
There are many things in life that I care about, but there few things that I get passionate about enough to write about to people I don't know. One of the things that I just cannot talk enough about is education. I believe that everyone who lives in the West needs to understand the absolute privilege and value of education.
I became passionate about education when I lived next to a family growing up whose children didn't attend school.
18). English Grammar Really Does Matter
Whether we are talking about a five year old that is about to start learning to read or whether we are talking about a thirty year old woman who is attempting to write a thesis for her master's degree, we cannot deny the fact that taking time to learn proper English grammar is important.
When we see or hear about English grammar, the immediate reaction of many people I know is to cringe.
19). Enjoy Carving A Pumpkin
I am surprised how many people I talk to that have missed out on some of the most foundational experiences of childhood. I love counseling couples and families and helping them find creative ways to spend family time together and to enjoy the smallest things in life together. So as I worked with a family last fall, I suggested that they spend the upcoming Saturday doing nothing but carving pumpkins together.
20). Ever Wanted To Be An Acrobat?
One of my favorite things about being an elementary school teacher is talking with my students about their dreams for what they will become as they grow up. I find that children have the most innocent and endearing dreams and ambitions. So each fall I spend a couple of afternoons discussing different professions with my students and bringing professionals in several common fields into the classroom to get the kids excited about careers.
21). Everyone Could Use A Carrier
The title of this article is a little confusing perhaps. Are you among the many who are wondering what kind of carrier I am talking about? If so, then read on.
When I say that everyone could use a carrier, I mean it. And I mean it in a way that can be interpreted in several ways. For instance, I think that any new mommy and daddy should invest in a good baby carrier or two so that they can get outside and get active with their new baby.
22). Everyone Needs Some Bible Software
If you are serious about studying the Bible and about learning more about Scripture, then there is no doubt in my mind that you need to invest into some Bible software. Why? Because Bible software is the newest and best way to learn all there is to know about a variety of things surrounding the Bible.
Just like any other work of literature, the Bible is hard to understand just by reading it if you do not have the appropriate knowledge of the background and the culture in which it was written.
23). Have A Favorite Holiday?
In many countries around the world the calendar of each year is filled with many holidays. Each holiday represents something special to be remembered or celebrates a tradition from long ago. There are so many wonderful holidays to enjoy each year. Do you have a favorite holiday to celebrate?
Perhaps you, like many people, love Christmas. I can think of countless people who claim Christmas as their favorite holiday without any competition from other special days. It might b...
24). Have Fun Trading Football Cards
I am one of the lucky women in life who has the privilege of living with all men. Yes, that's right, I live in my house with my husband and four sons! I never would have imagined that my life would turn out this way, nor would I have imagined how much I love being surrounded by all of my men. There is so much to share on this subject, for I have learned a host of things from being removed from other women on a daily basis.
25). How To Buy A Home Theater
Everyone has that friend who was pumped about anything that had to do with a home theater system. They are usually tech addicts who always have the latest gadgetry. My friend is riding the home movie theater wave and must have dropped five or six thousand dollars into all of components that he bought for his system. He started even before he had a house and so he had it all set up in his bedroom at his parents.
26). I Love Knowing English
There are hundreds or perhaps thousands of languages that people use to communicate in the world. Every country has at least one language and often several languages that their people speak. As much as I admire the beauty and sounds of other languages I am so thankful that I know English. I am grateful that I can read, write and communicate with others using this great language.
I probably love English so much because it is the first and only language I have ever been taug...
27). I Love Owning Dalmatians
I've always been a pet lover. Ever since I was a little girl and my parents brought me home my first hamster I have loved animals more than almost anything else. It didn't take rocket science for me to decide that I wanted to eventually be a veterinarian, so it was no surprise to anyone that I did indeed pursue my dream of working with animals as a profession.
28). I Love To Collect African Art
I love venturing around the world and learning about other cultures. I huge part of me comes alive when I'm in another culture. Ever since I was a little girl I have always been fascinated with the faces of people from other parts of the world and I've been intrigued by the way other people live life. Photography seemed to be the right profession for me because it allows me to travel the world and get paid, literally, to see people and cultures and things.
29). Inkjet Cartridges
The question that I lay before you today is, “are inkjet cartridges better or worse than their major competitor the laser cartridge full of so called toner?” There are many facets to this issue, not all of which will be covered in this very short work of art called an article about ink. I do however hope to cover some of the more important points that will help you to decide on what kind of printer you want to purchase namely an inkjet or a laser printer.
30). Learn About Real Cat Care
If you are one of the many people lucky enough to own a cat or several cats as pets, then you need to take time and make the effort to learn proper cat care. One of my biggest struggles with people is that they choose to have pets but then do nothing to intentionally take good care of them. This is why, as a veterinarian, I make all of my clients come to a seminar about good cat care and dog care before they can receive services at my office.
31). Legitimate Part Time Jobs…
Why do we fall for these things time after time and why are some people getting rich from these schemes at the expense of broken dreams and life changing decisions for the worse? In the next several paragraphs I want to warn you about these so called “part time jobs” lies.
First, before I lose people, there is such thing as a legitimate part time jobs but compared to the vast majority of these so call “opportunities” they are very few and rather far between.
32). Let Decorating Be Easy And Fun
There is no reason that decorating your home has to be hard or stressful. In fact, decorating, when done well, can be fun and relaxing.
One of the first things to keep in mind about decorating is why you are doing it. I think too many people get stressed or frustrated with decorating because they forget the importance of what they are doing. Decorating is an amazing thing because you are making the space you live in more beautiful.
33). My Experiment With An Herb Garden
I have been known to experiment with many things in my free time. I guess people assume that because I am a writer that I have tons of free time. While that is not entirely true, it is true that my hours are unusual and that I do manage to find time for a variety of hobbies that many of my friends laugh at me for. My latest venture is to start an herb garden in my backyard.
34). Names - It's An Identity Thing
If you think about it, every kind of everything has a name. Names are what we use to refer to someone and we associate people not by their physical appearance or even by their talents. We associate people by their names. Can you think of an animal, a city, or even a profession that does not have a name?
Having names bring uniqueness to everything. We know the difference between a flower, a leaf, and a tree because they each have names. But even further, we know the differe...
35). Pictures: One Of Life's Best Gifts
The older I get, the more I am thankful for the great gift of photography and the ability we have to take pictures of life's most special and ordinary events. Perhaps I am aware of the value of pictures because my father was a photographer and so I was raised around cameras and pictures all the time. I'm not sure, I just know that I am convinced that everyone would do well to make pictures a more prominent thing in their life.
36). Take A Serious Look At Your Body Fat
There are many diets and fitness programs out there that are concerned with one thing: how you look. They are centered around the idea that in order to be attractive and valuable you must be thin. These diets and fitness plans are merely ploys to get people to spend money on the latest fad out of a guarentee that they will lose weight instantly and never gain it back while eating their favorite desserts and not lifting a finger.
37). Take A Vacation At A Caribbean Resort
If you or someone you know is looking to get away on a great vacation in the near future, then look into taking a trip to a Caribbean resort. There are countless reasons to think about such a location for your next trip.
First of all, vacationing at a Caribbean resort will be beautiful. There is nothing like sandy beaches and the beautiful blue of the Caribbean waters.
38). The Beauty Of A Holiday
There are many things that I love about life. I love the fact that we were given eyes to see, ears to hear, and mouths to speak and to taste amazing food. I love it that I can see things in color and that I can experience beauty all around me just by going for a walk outside. I'm glad that we are able to work to provide for ourselves and that we can work doing things we enjoy.
39). The Benefits Of Radar Detector
If you are anything like me, then your life is really busy and there is not enough time in the day to get everything accomplished. Busyness may be reflected in many ways in your life, such as choosing fast food over a home cooked meal or not getting enough sleep. One thing that my busy lifestyle has meant for me is fast driving. I know, it isn't safe, and I've really been working on my schedule to allow enough time for safe driving, but in the meantime I've discovered the best thing of all: a radar detector.
40). The Credit Card Application: A First Step Toward Credit
On most days I love my work as a financial advisor to my wide variety of clients. I love helping people take a serious look at their financial situation and helping them make wise financial decisions. I get frustrated, however, when my clients "put the buggy before the horse" so to speak and start worrying about things like credit problems before they have even applied for credit.
41). The Importance Of The Electric Car
If you are like most people and driving and other forms of travel is essential to your work and life otherwise than this article is for you. With gasoline prices finally getting as high in this country as they have been in the rest of the world for some time people are starting to feel the crunch that it is causing on their budgets. Enter the electric car the so called savior of personal transportation in this country.
42). The Joy Of A Golf Cart
You are going to love to read this article in search of some valuable instruction in the mystery of the perfect golf cart. But I doubt you are going to find what you are expecting. What I am going to do is give you some advice that will hopefully help you in your game but more in the head game than in the physical part of the game. I want to in the next few paragraphs talk about three truisms that will hopefully put you at ease, steel your confidence, and allow you to play up to your ability.
43). The Search For The Right Fat Burner
If you are anything like me and most of the adult American population, then you can hardly make it a day without hearing something new about a good food, a food to avoid, a magic exercise or the perfect fat burner. It seems that the search for the best bodies for the least work possible is on with full speed.
As a personal fitness trainer I am more than a little bit concerned about this "get fit quick and painless" mentality I meet in so many American adults.
44). The Woman With Angel Art
I love meeting new people. There is nothing I enjoy more than entering into a totally new situation and sitting down for a conversation with a stranger. I find that strangers quickly become friends after a little time spent together and a few good questions asked. So I love it when my job requires me to travel with the sole purpose of meeting someone in an attempt to write a story about them.
45). Wanna Be A Car Dealer?
Cars are one of the most important purchases in a person’s life and therefore it is wise to have the best information going into such an investment. As a car dealer this is especially important to remember when you are looking to sell cars that are used. Used cars are by far the best choice financially for someone that cannot afford to absorb the huge depreciation cost that goes along with the luxury of driving a used car.
46). Want To Donate A Car?
The internet has been such a blessing in so many ways to those that have taken the plunge and accepted the fact that it is the future and have jumped on board and started using it to their advantage such as people wanting to donate cars online. There are so many ways that it brings all of the necessary services that you normally would have to either take a personal day to take care of during the work day and/or drive across town or the country to accomplish without on the internet capabilities.
47). What Is Inflation?
That is a good question and one that unfortunately there has not been an answer that everyone agrees upon. The term is a general description of the decreasing value of a unit of money over time. Therefore if you were to have 5 dollars now and went out and buried it and left it there for fifty years you would not have as much purchasing power with that 5 dollars that you had back when you buried it.
48). When I Fell In Love With Caramel (And Other Things)
I am one of those people for whom decision making and life direction has always come a little slower. One of the biggest decisions that took me a while to figure out was what I wanted to be "when I grew up." Keep in mind that I had been grown up for quite some time when I finally figured out how I wanted to spend my days and hence my life. I was nearing my thirties when I finally decided to go to culinary school with the hopes of becoming a pastry chef.
49). Why Are Laptop Batteries So Bad?
If you are like most people with laptops you know that they are only as portable as the nearest outlet. The companies advertise like their laptop batteries make these machines so that they can go anywhere with you and there will be no problem but there is a problem. You only have a couple hours max of normal word processing type use and then you are toast unless you either have a backup battery or you can plug in somewhere and recharge.
50). Why Did We Lose The Vietnam War?
How is it that we lost the Vietnam War? We the most powerful military in the world’s history, with technology that far exceeds all other countries and made mince meat of several other and larger countries in wars before this? Well I sure can’t believe it and frankly it makes me mad. I have some ideas of why it went so badly over there and that is what I want to talk about in this article.
