The journey

HAVC filter

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 19:57:00 +0000

We get so sick of our forced air furnace. We keep the heat ducks cleaned out where we can reach them with the vacuum cleaner. Then my husband at least once a year has a duct cleaning company come in and suck all the pipes out. But still you can see the dust on the air as the sun comes through the window. We decided to go with a new high tech HAVC filter. It's amazing. It traps the particles with the static charge built into it. I don't know exactly how this works but I know it works good.

Alarm clock

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 19:54:00 +0000

Our universal alarm clock is just not doing it for us. Our old one broke. We didn't realize how used to the tone we were until we didn't have it. The new one doesn't go as loud. It has a really weird beep to it that doesn't wake us up. If you turn it to the sound program the loudest thing is a running water fall which that just puts us asleep more. So we're taking this one back in hopes of finding a louder one.

Vitamins

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 19:40:00 +0000

In today's world it is so important to do everything you can to prevent any kinds of ailments. You never know where they come from these days let alone you don't want to get sick and go to the doctors because that's where the sick people are. You ever notice you go to the doctors' and you end up sicker? Or with some kind of other bug in the days that follow the visit. Taking vitamins is just like preventive maintenance on a building. If you do the little things first hopefully you don't have to do the bigger things in the future.

Ultrasonic pest repeller

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 19:30:00 +0000

We're starting out a little bit different this year. Last year even with our fence all the way around it we still had raccoons and rabbits that were digging their way under our fence. We even put bells on our fence thinking that this will scare them away. I think they just like the music that the bells made. We bought an ultrasonic pest repeller. We're hoping this will take care keeping the critters away so we don't lose our garden this year.

Eye wrinkle remover

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:48:00 +0000

It begins from the day we were born your body immune system fighting against the very day grind of your environment. From the sun's rays to the dusty environment of my workplace I am always moisturizing to give my skin more elasticity. If I could just find a good eye wrinkle remover system I would be a happy camper and move on to bigger and better. Well not so much bigger but a better diet plan.

Chilled out

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:42:00 +0000

Being I'm relatively new to New York States, extreme cold it really chills you to the bone. I've been wanting to go out to Burlington Coat factory for so long to get a better winter jacket. I never realized that they make goose down jackets. Why would I realize it? I come from a place that people wear sweaters at eighty degrees. Anyhow, this new jacket keeps me extremely warm and I have to give thanks to the ducks that the feathers came from. :-)

Acne solution

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:34:00 +0000

I thought as I grew older I would grew out of my acne problem. Yes I've tried lots of different acne solution over the years. Most worked somewhat some don't work at all. But nothing seemed to do the whole job. This was always a daily task for me. The new product that I received about three months ago seems to be doing a great job as long as I dedicate myself to a daily cleansing of my face.

Using the new circular saw

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:29:00 +0000

My husband is so impressed with his new little circular saw. A lot of times during the day he's cutting wood but he is also cutting thin sheet metal. He says the new saw has rotating multiple blades that allow it to cut through multiple materials without changing the blade and being one blade travels forward one blade travels backwards there's no kickback in the saw itself like the old fashioned circular saws.

Nutrisystem reviews

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:18:00 +0000

The nutrisystem program no pun intended. The pricing far outweigh the weight loss at least in my husband's case. He worked really hard on his diet specially the goodness of the food that he consume. After three months on the program. He's only dropped six pounds. I'd like to contribute the weight loss to his exercise program alone and not so much the food. The nutrisystem reviews has also made up his mind to not continue the program after the end of this month.

Aroma therapy candles

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:13:00 +0000

We love the smell of our new aroma therapy candles. My husband bought them a couple weeks ago. The only problem is that they run out so fast. Of course I like keeping them lit at least twelveahours a day. I can't believe they cost that much. Back in the Philippines you could get the same candle for three times less the money and it lasted a lot longer. I swear the wax over here is made to burn quicker so you buy more and I think that's true.

Eye cream

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:43:00 +0000

I come from a generation where there's hopefully a fix for almost anything to do with aging. Unlike my parents' generation they prefer to grow old gracefully. Well I'm not waiting for that part. The first thing that I learned to use in a preventive body maintenance program is eye cream. Even though I'm putting it on two times a day after cleaning my whole face I am showing drastic holding ability when it comes to the fight with minor wrinkles.

Energy saving journey

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:38:00 +0000

Being we burn with wood and we have an apartment downstairs, the apartment downstairs heat up with gas so we wanted to save some additional money. So below our utility room is their utility room. We cut a whole through the floor ceiling and installed the fan to take some of the hot air of upstairs to the downstairs to save money on the gas bill.

Best diet pills for men

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:32:00 +0000

My husband and I have been married a little over five years. Before I met him he was a hundred and seventy five pounds from his own cooking. Now five years later he is a hundred ninety five pounds. About four and a half pounds of extra weight a year Mama has put on him. Now it's a search for the best diet pills for men. It's quite a search we have to rule out the good with the bad but in the first week he has lost three pounds.

Journey to the woods

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:29:00 +0000

Our cold winter seems to go on and on. Being we heat our house with wood we're using a lot more. We started to run out so my husband built a sled specially to pull behind the snowmobile to go down into our woods to bring up more wood for burning. He is amazed at how much dead wood is there so he doesn't need to cut any of the live ones. It's a lot of fun for my husband and son. Gives them exercise.

TVS

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:19:00 +0000

When it rains it pours. Usually something might go wrong with the car or maybe a small appliance in your kitchen. Oh yes there's always that occassion when you have to call a plumber. But last week in our house it seems like almost everything electronic was giving up. First the laptop died so I had the technician looking at how to fix that. The TV was on in the background. It went pop. So much for that bulb inside of it. Now we needed two tvs. The one in the other room had stopped working after a lighting storm three months ago.

Door handle sanitizer

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:10:00 +0000

Germs, germs, germs I'm not trying to be paranoid but they're all around us. We're doing our best washing hands, avoiding areas that are confined with lots of people. But it's impossible to stay away from the grocery store. Even though we use hand sanitizer on the cart it still seems like every other time someone get sick in our house. We eat right, take our vitamins make sure things are clean and still...get sick. One of the things my husband came up with that all commercial doors should have. It works just like the soap dispenser and bathrooms you pushed in the button and it sprays a mist of Lysol on to the door handle that you're about to touch. Someone should invent that.

Term life insurance definition

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 00:49:00 +0000

The journey of getting older is always filled with good and bad experiences. New and different vitamins, a stricter diet of more fruit and vegestables and less meat. Feeling guilty of my weight, I went out and bought an exercise DVD. It seems like every corner of your turn someone is trying to sell you something. One of the things that I have to find out about is term life insurance definition. There's so many different types out there and I'm a little confused about them.

Journey back to the play dough days

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 00:44:00 +0000

My son brought back some memories accidentally the other day. We were at the store and apparently he remembers the commercial on TV about play dough. I really didn't want the stuff in the house. Can make a big mess. As I was helping him pick up the play dough later on in the afternoon I noticed the smell. It turned me completely around with the wonderful memories of my play days with play dough.

Grohe

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 00:35:00 +0000

Renovating the bathroom it took longer to pick out things as I think back. Then the actual job took to do it. It's kind of my fault. Half the stuff that I picked out when they were putting everything together it just didn't look as good as I had pictured. My main problem was using two different stores. The color look the same but were only close. But now that I've used entirely Grohe products I was assured of my pick. The quality is so much better.

Inflatable bed

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 00:27:00 +0000

Tired of running out of room when having the relatives over to stay a few nights during the holidays. Nobody even want to sleep on one of those pull up couches. They're just so uncomfortable. We surprised our last guest by buying the queen size double thickness inflatable bed. The bed also has dual air chambers so you can have one side softer than the other for a better sleep.

Black Friday

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 22:00:00 +0000

We're always looking at all the store sales adds that lead up to Black Friday. I think my husband treats it like espionage. Checking on what store has the items that we want the most at the least price. I don't know is it really worth it to fight the crowds at three a.m. to save a hundred and twenty dollars on a coat. But we did. Then we rushed eleven miles to fight the crowds again to save fifty dollars on a digital photo frame.

Chair hammock

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 21:46:00 +0000

Years ago outdoors we had a beautiful hammock where we live before. It was convenient over there because there was two trees perfectly spaced apart to hang the hammock. In the new house we decided to buy a hammock chair and hang it from one of our big beams next to our wood stove. We picked one up. I would call it royal blue and hang it up today. Looks nice and its comfortable.

Buy cigars

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:31:00 +0000

My husband has a favorite place to buy cigars. He doesn't smoke many a year but when he gets together with his brothers and friends on poker night, our garage turns into a small cloudy casino. Long ones, short ones, fat ones there's all kinds. They're always comparing the difference in the cigar's taste. It's kinda funny to watch them. Somebody is always bringing something new to try to beat out the other guy.

Flashlight stun gun

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:13:00 +0000

When my husband was travelling back and forth from different countries, he says "you never get rid of the inside fear of the unknown". You never know how much another person is in need of money that they might want to take it from you. He always carries his small flashlight. It looks like a flashlight, works like a flashlight but unknown to most its also a stun gun. He has never had to use it but he has said in many situations he has removed it from its leather pouch and had it in his hand just in case. Always check on local and state codes in your area governing laws on stun gun.

Clamps

noreply@blogger.com (Malou) — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 01:55:00 +0000

They used to say a handy man without his duct tape and coat hangers would be out of business. I still think it's funny. In our business if I didn't have clamps I'd be out of business. We use so many different types and just when you think you've run into every design of clamps that help you you're in need of another. Our tubing clamp scaffolding are one of the most simplex and ingenious systems I've ever seen.
