Why Raise Pigs?

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Of all the farm animals that you could raise, why pigs?  There are several answers to that question.  You are tired of paying high prices for pork at the supermarket.  You want to be certain that the pork you serve your family is of the best quality.  Whatever your reasons for raising pigs, it can be done successfully if you follow some simple guidelines.  Pigs need proper shelter to protect them from cold, sun, and rain.  Fencing is necessary to keep them safe from predators or running away.  They need a good quality swine feed so that they gain weight without becoming too fat.  A constant supply of fresh water is needed for drinking and keeping cool.  Make sure you start with healthy piglets and give them the medical care they need to stay healthy.  If you stick to these rules, in the end you will have a freezer full of delicious pork. 

My grand-daughter’s birthday is coming up in two weeks and I wasn’t sure what to get for her. I called my son to get some ideas on what she would like. He said that I should look at getting her some sort of pet. On Monday I drove on down to the pet store near my house and looked at some of my options. I decided that I would get her some goldfish. I also got her a book on caring for your goldfish. I thought this would be a good starter pet for her. I think she will be happy with my gift. Thats okay because I bought her a bike too.

Mom Needs a Great Hotel

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

My mother is going on vacation.  It’s her first vacation in 20 years and since my father has passed away, she just stays inside the house and doesn’t do very much.  My brother and I decided it was time that she got a change of scenery and so we looked in the Best Phone book and found a great hotel for mom.  It is right on the ocean and her room is ocean side so that every morning she can sit on the balcony and see the sun rise.  I know that each day she sees that sun rise, she will know that she can go another day and be just fine.

Facts to consider – An adult fairy tale is what its all about. Although many are aware of this fact, there are some things you need to consider if you want to keep your marriage and would not want to be included in the statistics.  Fifty percent of all marriages end in divorce, if you happen to be included in these, always try to be wiser or try to live alone or in groups perhaps, that is, if you do not have kids. In 2004, there is a number of 1.25 million couples who got divorced.  Considering the double standards we have for men in our society, the women are the ones more likely, without hasty generalization, to get financially and emotionally hurt after the divorce.

Finding a Doctor When I Need To

Friday, May 1st, 2009

We have always moved because of my husbands job, and it’s hard to keep switching doctors all the time.  It’s hard on the kids and hard on me to find a really good one that we can trust, so I go online and get onto the Electronic Phone book and find a doctor there.  It makes it so much easier because when your new someplace you don’t have a regular phone book of that area and being able to find someone online takes all the hassle away.  I’m not sure when we are going to have to move again, but I know as long as I have the Internet, I can find anyone.

I Help Others Keep Their Independence

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

I have been a stay at home mother for over thirty years and when my last child left for college, I didn’t know what to do anymore.  I didn’t have a career to go to and the only thing I knew how to do was take care of people.  A friend of mine told me to find some cna schools to look into because now I could get paid for taking care of people.  I decided that I would do home care for those who just needed a bit of help in their own homes.  I love helping others keep their independence and I’m still feeling useful.

You must set small goals and achieve them one at a time.Reward yourself for achieving goals. If you do not achieve your goal due to procrastination or some fault of your own, make sure that you give up something in return.

Domains

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

My brother in law is really big into web design.  Recently he’s gotten involved in buying web domains and designing them, then selling them to small business that need an edge on their competition.  He works with a lot of people on this social network that Randy Charach started.  He especially likes the helpful forums and blogs that he can read and get information for future projects.  Hearing him talk about it really makes me want to get involved and possibly buy a few domains of my own.  In this day and age, any business is probably good business, and I could use the extra money.

Why Do You Want a Turtle?

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

Ever wanted a turtle? I sure have not, but my younger siblings go crazy over them. My little brother Austin just recently got himself a turtle, and he has been taking care of that thing like you would not believe. He named him Bob, which I suppose is a fitting name for a turtle. I would have personally shot for one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ names: Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael. Now those guys were some real turtles.But honestly, why would my little brother want a turtle so bad? They are not the most interactive of pets, beyond sitting around sunning themselves. They are very similar to lizards, no real interaction. The idea of turtle care seems very boring to me. Give me a dog any day of the week! Now those guys are what pets should be! They love you unconditionally, are always happy, and have boundless energy. Turtles are aloof like cats, just hanging out on a rock.
