Mom’s new Chevy
Posted on May 9, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging | Leave a Comment
Women spend billions of dollars each year buying new cars for themselves and their families. Most women will tell you that purchasing a car is a hassles and rate their experience at the dealership one of their worst shopping experiences. Women now have a place to go to get advice and find dealers who are female friendly.Since more women are int the workforce and have an equal or greater say in large purchases it only makes sense that dealers and auto makers market to the female audience. Soccer moms have made a huge impact in the economy and even politics. So finding a car that will be safe and be able to haul the kids from their different activities is crucial to their buying decision. The mini-van is now giving way to the sport utility vehicle that is blending the features of the mini-van with better looks and more features. Plus now all the available accessories like Chevy grills that can help you spice up that min-van are becoming more popular.
20 year reunion Saturday events
Posted on May 1, 2008 - Filed Under Class Reunion | Leave a Comment
Kamiakin Class of 1988 we have some updates on Saturdays events. First, we have secured a slot at Sun Willows golf course starting at 10 AM for our golf tourny. Which by the way I spoke to Craig Lawrences younger brother who is at the pro shop to help set us up. We will need to start getting a head count on all those that are interested in playing so that we can let them know.
Also on Saturday Shawna Morris (McGetrick) has offered to coordinate an afternoon picnic for those that do not wish to take part in the golf tournament. And Kristen Lurch has presented the idea of our class working on a habitat for humanity housing project. So there are some things that all of us can do and be a part of.
There is also the chance that we will be taking a tour of Kamiakin either Friday or Saturday for those that are interested to walk down memory lane and for some of you to actually go onto campus without fear of being called to the principles office. So comment back or shoot us an email at wsugrad92 at comcast dot net. ( Sorry had to do this to prevent a bunch of spam, and no Jake, not the stuff you eat)
is health insurance affordable?
Posted on May 1, 2008 - Filed Under advertising | Leave a Comment
There are many Americans that have a need for health insurance.With the election year starting to take shape for 2008 one of the main focuses will be inexpensive health insurance for all Americans. The Medicare Part D plans have been successful and the trend is that more people who are eligible are signing up. For those under 65 finding affordable insurance is always a constant battle. Whether you are insured through work or have to find insurance on your own the choices and terminology can be quite intimidating. North Carolina health insurance companies are offering various plans tailored to different income levels to offer affordable insurance for their state residents. By next year I am sure that we will have a clear picture of what the next President is going to do to provide health insurance for all Americans

Finding a safe way to loose weight
Posted on April 24, 2008 - Filed Under advertising | Leave a Comment
It seems that there have been more and more weight loss supplements to hit the market over the last year and trying to decide which one is right for you can be a complicated issue. Many will make promises to help you loose weight, but everyone has to realize that there is no magic pill and that with proper diet and exercise and the help of a diet supplement it is a good bet that you will be able to loose the weight and keep it off. There are some newer products on the market like Anoretix which is a combination of 9 ingredients that each offer a special mechanism of action to help you loose weight. One of those active ingredients is 7-Keto which is natural substance that your body produces to help maintain your metabolism. As we get older that process slows down and with increasing those levels it will help your body metabolize and clear those carbs and sugars more effectively.
Facial blemishes
Posted on April 20, 2008 - Filed Under advertising | Leave a Comment
Remember back in high school one of the most dreaded facial blemishes you could get was the pimple. No matter what you did you could never cover it up and to you it seemed like it was the biggest and most noticeable thing in school. It seems today that acne treatments are much more available thanks the internet. Beside when you have a singer like Jessica Simpson on your ads showing how it cured her acne . I do wonder if they work as well as they claim and what cure is there for a pimple that you get the day of Prom?
When we were younger
Posted on April 19, 2008 - Filed Under advertising | Leave a Comment
I remember as a young kid playing outside for hours with friends and only coming home for dinner. We could spend hours in the summer using a magnifying glass to see what sticks we could try and catch on fire or carve our initials in a tree. Now a days kids have so many options like video games, computers that keep them inside it can lead to lack of exercise. I now see my kids coming to the age where they are finally realizing that exploring the great outdoors can lead to endless possibilities.

Exercise 30 minutes a day
Posted on April 11, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging | Leave a Comment
Recent literature has come out showing that even moderate exercise is beneficial. It has always been the thought that you needed to exercise at least one hour a day and need to get your heart rate up above your target rate to have any health benefits. Many people purchased exercise equipment to have at their homes to avoid having to go to the gym and provide a more convenient way to get in shape. Now the research is showing that even 30 minutes a day can have beneficial health benefits even when broken up in smaller chunks. So next time you head to the mall look for the furthest parking spot and give your heart and body something good to achieve.
Improving your looks

Getting nose work done whether it is medically necessary or cosmetic, here are few questions that you can ask your Dr.:
- Are the desired results I described realistic?
- Where is the surgery performed? How long will the procedure take?
- What kind of anesthesia is used?
- How much does it cost?
- What is your experience in performing this procedure? (How long has he/she performed this procedure, and how many he/she has performed in the past year?)
- What percentage of patients have had significant complications? (The physician should disclose this information to you.
There are many options to help improve your looks and finding the best anti wrinkle cream online is much easier. Plus you can research your options and really understand what the products have to offer and which ones to stay away from.
Starting your own business
Posted on April 9, 2008 - Filed Under advertising | Leave a Comment
Today there are many franchise opportunities for those that aspire to create and take control of their own future. With the uncertainty in the job market starting your own business can be both a thrilling experience as well very frightening. The stats show that 50% of new small businesses will fail within the first two years. This is due to lack of resources to sustain the business and a solid business plan. I would also add that you need to have a passion for what you are doing or you risk creating a company that is built on just numbers. Put your plan together and talk to others in the field you are interested in entering and do your research on the business and market potential.

Having guests over
Posted on March 26, 2008 - Filed Under advertising | Leave a Comment
An online company called Bedinabox.com offers a great selection of bedding and blowup mattresses that are easy to setup and stow away. We have used various blow mattresses in the past and having one handy is great for when you have guests over. Instead of having to re-arrange everyone’s sleeping arrangements you can just pull out the foam mattress or blowup mattress and be ready to go in minutes. This has come in very handy when our kids have sleep overs since we can have a few kids sleep on one of this mattresses.
Preparing for Spring
Posted on March 25, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging | Leave a Comment
It is late March and just when you think it is time to break out the teak furniture for your outdoor deck here comes the snow again. I cannot remember when we had snow so late in the season. We purchased some new patio furniture last Fall and have it covered up all winter and now can hardly wait to sit out back and visit with the neighbors. I am sure that Spring will come soon enough and then in the Summer time when it is hot we will long for some of the cooler days.
trimming down for the reuion
Posted on March 23, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging | Leave a Comment
I was watching a special on obese people and how they got to be this way. Many blamed their weight condition on the food that they consumed everyday and the high fat foods that they ate. Many people think that it is the manufacturer’s of the foods that may be partially to blame, but with all the required labeling it is tough for people not to take personal accountability. Along with diet and exercise there is a newer supplement called Orovo that has the potential to help you shed unwanted pounds. Proper nutrition is essential in maintaining better health and this starts earl in life and not as a treatment to a problem.
Herbal supplements

Everyday you can find shows or articles on the latest fitness or diet craze to help those of us overweight. One of the key concerns of those that are overweight is the long term risks to your health. Once you start the damage it is difficult to reverse what has been done and you will most likely be on medication the rest of your life to control your condition whether it be hypertension, diabetes, or other problems caused from your weight.There are supplements like eca stack that combine ephedra,caffeine, and asprin that make claims to help you loose weight. Like any other supplement you should consult your Dr. before taking any medications.
Mortgage life insurance to protect your home
Posted on March 22, 2008 - Filed Under advertising | Leave a Comment
Your home is one of the largest investments that you will make and it only makes sure that you do everything you can to protect your main asset. Most everyone will search and secure home insurance to protect the property, but what do you do if the major bread winner in the family dies or is no longer in the picture. For those families with two incomes it makes sense to invest in mortgage life insurance which will help protect that stream of income and make your house payments in the event the major bread winner dies. There are many families where the father dies unexpectedly and then they are left with a hefty mortgage payment which can be difficult to maintain. This places an added burden on the family to help secure and protect the family assets.
band stlyles in the 1980’s
Posted on March 22, 2008 - Filed Under advertising | 3 Comments
Back in the 1980’s many of the women bands wore these body stockings type outfits that looked like leotards except skin tight. This coupled with their big hair really set the tone for the type of music in the 80’s. I think I remember some of the mens rock bands like RATT wearing similar type of body wear which at the time no one seemed to mind. Now that you look back on some of the fashion trends that took place in the 80’s you hope that never come back.
Buying direct
Posted on March 22, 2008 - Filed Under finance | 1 Comment
With more and more furniture stores going out of business in our area the choices are becoming much smaller. Many people choose to shop online and this has hurt the local businesses and forced many into a pricing war. When is the last you walked into a furniture and they weren’t having their greatest sale of the year. For those savvy shoppers there is directbuy which is a retail store where you can get factory direct prices. There is a small membership fee but the savings on your home furnishings can help pay for that small fee. They have showrooms throughout the country and even one here in Spokane which is convenient for us. So the next time you are lured into a furniture store by some closeout special be sure to shop around because chances are those prices can be beaten.
