Activated Charcoal for Odor Removal

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

This morning I went down stairs to the basement where I have my large freezer jam packed with frozen food, only to find that some how the door was not closed all the way, for god knows how long, and every piece of frozen food had gone bad. I had probably over $1000 worth of food, mainly meats, stored in there. What a bad way to start the week out and what a mess I have to look forward to cleaning up.

I just might call in some professionals, what with Christmas in less than two weeks I really have my hands full. I may have to go online and look for a place that can use activated charcoal for odor removal if the odor is too bad for me to stomach. I’ve used http://www.thesteamteam.com/austin-cleaning-services/  in the past and have been happy with them and what they have done for me in my previous times of need through out the years of home ownership. There is never a good thing for something like to happen but there certainly are worse times and right now is a pretty bad time, argg…

Lodge Furniture

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

Was looking through some old photos with my daughter today that I found in a box in my closet while stashing some Christmas gifts away where the kids can’t get their paws on them. These particular pictures were of my parents summer home on the water, back when they still had the log cabin on the property. I loved that old log cabin with all of it’s lodge furniture in it and the screened in porch that wrapped all the way around 3 sides of it. My father had us all convinced that Daniel Boone had built that log cabin. I remember how my heart was broken when I later learned that he had just made that up.

Scrubs for Today’s Medical Professionals

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

It is good to see that the powers above for today’s medical professions have decided to allow their personnel to wear decorative scrub medical uniforms instead of those plain white uniforms of the past. I remember as kid spending some time in the hospital, man it was so cold and sterile like, it would have been nicer if the nurses had on some of kiddie scrub sets that you see so much of with the good folks that work in pediatrics. Would have brought a tad bit of warmth to the whole ordeal.

The main thing I remember about the stay, other than the crappy food that they tried to make me eat, is my doctor had a fake lizard on his stethoscope that used to help distract his patients with while he tried to examine them. Some thing as simple as that can make a big difference to a scared, sick kid. So seeing a nurse wearing Winnie The Pooh or Mickey Mouse scrubs can certainly make a kid feel a bit less freaked out with everything going on with them and around them. They have some good affordable quality medical uniforms at http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/Original-Scrubs/.

New Business Phone Systems

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

I got word today that I have been place in charge of finding the right business phone systems at the office, come the New Year. That is when a lot of changes will be happening around there. This is really good new all the way around, we will be getting a much needed business phone system and I’ll have the opportunity to learn a lot about what is out there these days for business phone systems and when I get us hooked up with a new one I’ll know everything that one would need to know to operate it. I’ll look like the hero in the office!  LOL

Luminox watches

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

Finally heard from my mother-in-law about an idea for a Christmas present for her this year that she will actually enjoy and appreciate. She is always the hardest person to buy presents for and it always becomes a last minute scramble in order to have something in order to hand over a nice gift on Christmas morning. So this year I’m armed with the knowledge a few weeks ahead of time and now I am online looking at various Luminox watches trying to find the perfect one that will put a big ol’ grin on her usual grumpy face.
