My heart nearly missed a beat the other day. And not because of some hunk catching my eye. (Too old for that now!)
Rather, it was when my laptop hung and I couldn’t get to my documents. Worse, it was showing a blue screen. I try not to load my machines too much, but I am a camera addict.
Hubby introduced me to the concept of storage in cyberspace. Normally, the fear would be this is where missing electronic documents go and never to be found nor be retrieved, causing much sorrow. Just the thought of all the blood, sweat and tears poured in – inconsolable! Hence this Dokmee document management software sounds like it;s something I should explore. Join me?

Safety! Safety at home, safety at work!
Following from the last post, I note that many work-related injuries are caused by ignorance. One would think that such injuries are found only at construction work sites, factories and dangerous outdoors. So you will be surprised that in many in offices, the supposedly safe and cocooned air conditioned innocent-looking work place is far from safe!
What happens is that modern repetitive work at computers, lack of movements and mind tiredness often contribute to careless injuries. Hence the call for more Occupational Health & Safety Specialist Jobs and openings now being offered by companies. Not only do they need to comply with the law. They also want to reduce injuries that will cost them unproductive costs.
So, if you are considering a switch in careers, this isn’t a bad line at all!

These days acne seems to be a perennial problem for the young ones. It never used to be in our time. People refer to radicals and what-nots. I can’t keep track!
We have a typical teenage daughter who is conscious of her self image. We are thankful that her skin is very good and she seldom suffers from acne and hence we do not have to seek acne treatment for her.
What’s her secret? Perhaps genes? Hubby and I have reasonably good skin. But she also drinks lots of water and I have started to teach her to use cleansers and toners…. which I myself never use! Haha!

This is the conversation between Hubby and I which took place just now.
We were about to pop our daily vitamins when he suddenly remarked that someone told him that men and women should have different types of vitamins. He said that there was such a thing as mens vitamins!
I nearly choked on my juice. Why is there a need for vitamins just for men? Supplements are supplements right?
BUT, apparently not so – men have different needs and hormonal balance from women.That makes sense. Men ARE different from women in oh so many ways….
Which now leaves us wondering what to do with our present vitamins and supplements…..!

It’s been a little stressful of late. Events happening but I am not at liberty to divulge right now.
What I CAN say is that I am so thankful for the friends we have. I felt somewhat vulnerable and rather uncertain what to do. Hubby was away. I didn’t know what course of action I should take, if any. I started having headaches and I knew I was getting stressed and upset. Needless to say, I did NOT like feeling like that at all!
After prayer, I sent out an email for advice. Almost immediately responses from good friends came. Their actions were firm, decisive and comforting although initially I was uncomfortable with them. The advice given was clear, correct and gave me much comfort. Hubby concurred long distance. What assurance I felt! The stress left. The anxiety lifted. The frown lines receded (a bit difficult to not have SOME lines at my age!)
It is so good to have good friends!

Guess what? I had to put together ANOTHER hamper today! No kidding!
This time, I was smarter. I went to another shop to get most of the things I wanted, and then I finished off the shopping at the slow-poke shop. The other reason the second shop was slow was because they only had one set of scales in the food section. That alone slowed things down.
Anyway, I learned my lesson and this is the final product. Considering this is my first real attempt at making a hamper, I am pretty pleased with the results!

I have been wondering whether to post this or not. It’s not exactly a topic one brings up in a public site.
But then, I thought, why not? Perhaps someone out there could help? After all, it’s not for me! Oh no… Honestly. Just doing someone a favour. Someone who has a somewhat embarrassing condition (chest acne to be precise. Who knows if someone out there could have the answer to help my friend… I could pass the information on to her, even as she stays anonymous.

Remember this post?
I do not lie. That car in the photo? It was part of a three car crash. One drove off – the one who caused the crash. Typically. The driver came charging down the flyover and caused another car to swerve. It was so sudden that the other car, a blue one not in the photo, went over the middle reservation. That upturned car? That third car was trying to avoid the blue. one. What a mess. Thankfully no one was hurt.
How do I know so much about this? The driver of the blue car is my friend!
Needless to say, his car is a write-off.
He is so thankful for car insurance companies which make it easy for him to get a replacement vehicle. Now, the choice is which vehicle. It should be as safe as the one he was driving before!

I like this by John Maxwell
Many problem-solving strategies exist, from family meetings to fair fighting rules. Use the ones that work for you. Just be sure that they foster and promote three things:
- Better understanding,
- Positive change, and
- Growing relationships.
