• I Just Want My Scalp To Stop Itching NOW!

    Posted on August 24th, 2009 Mark No comments

    going to tell you, I had itchy head itchy scalp so badly that all the white flakes on my head & shoulders from scratching would have had Bing Crosby crooning I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas if he got within ten feet of me. And to make matters worse I could literally see my hair getting thinner before my eyes.

     

    So, I go to my doctor and ask is there anything and I mean anything at all you can give me to keep my hair in? And of course Mr. Smart Aleck hands me a shoe box. Yeah right, thanks a lot.

     

    What is it with Doctors amd me? I mean years ago I’m having my vasectomy. No joke I’m laying on the table he’s cutting away, I’m as nervous as a cat that just jumped off a roof into a dog pound. The next thing I know I see smoke and he says oops! Of course it was a joke, but I’m telling you, at the time it was not very funny.

     

    So anyway I have itchy head itchy scalp like stinkin crazy. I’m literally scouring the internet, going to health food stores calling anyone who even acts like they might care, trying to find a solution any solution.

     

    Why? Because if you have itchy scalp you know very well what I was going through. It can dang near drive you crazy at times. And as you know it always seems to itch at the worst possible times. Like when you’re on your first date with someone you think might actually have potential. Or at a major Job interview for a job you actually would like to have. Of course, that’s when it decides to itch.
    You know what I mean, when the itching starts you don’t care you only want it to stop, you just want to find a solution.

     

    Plus me being a guy I sure as heck don’t want to lose my hair on top of it. Of course my loving wife was very nurturing and reassuring about the whole thing. She said “oh don’t worry if you go bald we’ll just sell all your turtle neck sweaters at out next garage sale”. Of course I bought into it hook line and sinker and replied “why would we do that?” And her retort “so you don’t look like a big roll on deodorant”

     

    With her comment in my back pocket I knew I was at my whit’s end and needed a resolution that actually worked.

     

    My research brought me to the conclusion that my problem was actually caused by the inflammation from all the dang chemicals that were in my shampoo & conditioner that I was currently using. So I searched far and wide for any shampoo and conditioners that didn’t have any of the toxic chemicals that were causing my pain in the 1st place.

     

    Like I said I went to health food stores, pharmacy’s you name it. At one store this blonde lady was so unbelievably dense that I kept thinking I should design my own hair care product. Yep you got it, it would be black hair coloring to turn blondes into brunettes and the name of the product of course would be Artificial Intelligence!

     

    After tons and tons of searching and trying all manner of things I finally found one product line that actually works. And I don’t have itchy head itchy scalp any longer. The reason it does is just like I said, it alpdoesn’t have the toxic chemicals that cause your problem in the 1st place.

     

    Plus, my hair looks like I just stepped out of a Salon. Yeah right I heard that on a TV commercial, but my hair does look a whole lot better than it has in years that’s for sure.

  • Choosing the Right Furniture Polish

    Posted on August 23rd, 2009 Mark No comments

    Furniture polish is important to treating your wood.  Without it, wood gets dry and cracked. Like your skin, furniture can get sun damaged over time. Furniture polish can prevent these things. Some furniture polishes can reduce the amount of cleaning you do.

    There are many types of furniture polish on the market.  Some types of furniture polish are better for different types of wood than others. For example, some furniture polishes have silicone.  Silicone is not a good polish if you ever want to refurbish your wood later.  The silicone is very very hard to remove, and requires that the wood be totally sanded down and seals the wood perminantly. Cheap silicone polishes are also known to make woods sticky – actually increasing the amount of dusting you need to do. 

    Paste wax is a hard wax that can be applied. Like car waxes, it takes a lot of work to apply and can also take a lot of work to remove. Paste wax seals the wood naturally, unlike silicone, but does not oil or feed the wood. 

    Lemon oil is a popular type of furniture polish. Some people believe that wood should be treated by simply applying natural oils back into the wood. Jamestowne Lemon Oil Furniture Polish is a simple way to oil your wood with out any residue or wax treatment. 

    Wax polishes are a popular alternative to lemon oil.  For over 40 years, Jamestowne Furniture Polish is one of the most successful liquid wax polishes. It actually combines lemon oil and carnauba wax, one of the hardest natural waxes, making it easy to apply.  The wood is both oiled to preserve the wood, and sealed to protect it.  

    There is a quality furniture polish for treating all types of wood, including antique furniture, outdoor furniture, and more.  Picking the right furniture polish will go along way in helping your furniture last. 

     

  • Plettenberg Bay Properties

    Posted on August 23rd, 2009 Mark No comments

    Plettenberg Bay Property is easily one of the best investments that you can make. Why do I say that?

    Plettenberg Bay is known for its extremely great weather and beautiful beaches. The weather is just about perfect and for at least 300 day of the year you will experience excellent weather.

    Accommodation Garden Route is very popular and having a property in Plettenberg Bay which is the Jewel of the Garden Route ensures that you will always have your holiday or coastal property fully booked.

    During the December Holidays Plettenberg Bay Accommodation is fully booked. Locals will move out of their homes to accommodate visitors. Just a few weeks before these holidays start, the Matric Rage send thousands of young people to Plett to have their first holiday as so called “grown ups”.

    Just a few kilometers away you can experience the world’s highest bungy jump when you jump down from the Bloukrans bridge and fall the 216m to the river below. (Still think they are mad :-) )

    Plettenberg Bay is not just a great place to invest, but also an excellent place to stay.

    Every year people from all over come and watch the whales as they play in in the shallow waters of the Bay. Here they raise their calves and play to the amusement of us all before they leave to come back next year.

    The Garden Route is most probably the greatest attraction in the Tourism indusry in South Africa.

  • Construct An Original Bathroom Design For Your Home

    Posted on August 23rd, 2009 Mark No comments

    The proper bathroom plan of bathroom design can turn a run of the mill bathroom into an excellent project for your home. You don’t want to have the same old faucets and bathroom fixtures that you can find in any and every home across the country. Try to jazz your bathroom design up with unusual fixtures and an original layout.

    Maybe you want to stand out from the crowd with a new bath tub that is totally different from what you may see in other homes. Maybe you want to get a different shaped tub than the traditional circular or oval shaped tub. A great idea is to consider a rectangular tub for your bathroom. This may seem way out of the ordinary but it may be just what you need to make your bathroom stand out. The bath tub can be made the focal point of your bathroom and you can design every thing else around it. Some shower stalls and kits are not made from quality material.

    Another aspect of the bathroom you can focus on is the bathroom floor. Handymen are able to create bathroom design ideas in a flash. Most people don’t pay attention to the bathroom floors but this can be an area where you may want to think outside the box. How about instead of the regular tile floors or vinyl floors, you install eco friendly bamboo floors. These can be very good for the enviornment and can also be a focus for your bathroom. You can even go the extra mile if you’d like and add a feature such as heated floors. This really helps in the winter time when bathroom floors get extremely cold.

    The best bathroom designs are done when you are completely redoing your bathroom. When this happens, you really get the chance to play with the designs as much as possible so that the finish product is something you are proud of. Remember, when you are planning your bathroom layout, don’t be like the rest. You want to really stand out from the crowd. Whether you are installing a rectangular tub or just installing heated floors, make sure that the bathroom design is original and comfortable.

  • Choosing Between Personal & Vehicle Breakdown Cover!

    Posted on August 22nd, 2009 Mark No comments

    Do You Need Vehicle Cover, or Personal Cover?

    Breakdown cover comes in two major varieties, personal cover or vehicle cover. Both of these are good options depending on your situation, but they’re different. With personal cover, you’ll be covered no matter what vehicle you’re driving or riding in.

    With vehicle cover, you as a person are not covered; instead, one particular vehicle, in and of itself, is what is covered. The vehicle cover can be especially beneficial to a family of drivers who drive one car. However, if you drive several vehicles as a matter of course, personal cover is probably for you.

    What Level of Cover Do You Need?

    There are many different levels of breakdown cover, too, to choose from when it comes to breakdown cover. Make sure you have the right cover for you so that you have the cover you need. The most basic and cheapest of the cover levels offered is roadside assistance.

    For a little bit more, you can get roadside assistance and home cover; with home cover, the patrol will come to your home to help you out if you have a breakdown there. Comprehensive cover includes many more features, and the specifics of those features differ between companies. However, you get a lot more service with comprehensive cover, although it is more expensive as well.

    Finally, European cover will cover you for breakdown cover if you need to go outside of the United Kingdom. Keep in mind that your regular breakdown cover will not cover you if you go outside of the UK, so get European cover if you do plan to go abroad.

  • Easiest Way To Examine Your Shock Absorbers!

    Posted on August 22nd, 2009 Mark No comments

    Bouncing down the road one day it occurs to you that things are just not what they should be. The road you are riding on is as smooth as glass, yet your car is jostling up and down like nobody’s business. You enter an upcoming curve in the road and quickly learn that the control you had over your car was lost just moments before. Suddenly, the vehicle Shock Absorbers careens off the road, goes down through a ditch and up an embankment before coming to rest against a fence adjacent to Tony’s garage. You are in luck: you aren’t dead and your car is at Tony’s, who happens to be your favorite mechanic.

    Yes this story is ridiculous, exceedingly so. All joking aside, your shock absorbers [or struts in the case of some cars] plays a vital part in your vehicle’s suspension system. When certain signs of wear and tear become apparent, you must replace your shocks or otherwise you can put yourself in danger and/or damage your car. A shock absorber works by damping the compression and extension of the vehicle’s suspension springs to prevent ongoing movement. Monroe Shock Absorbers work to diminish road impact, prevent excessive bounce back, reduce sway, and improve general road handling. When your shocks are functioning properly your vehicle grips to the road whether you are braking, negotiating a curve in the road, driving on uneven roads, or experiencing powerful side winds. When worn out, shocks can play a part in you losing control of your car putting you and everyone else in harm’s way.

    How often should you replace your Shock Absorbers? One manufacturer suggests no less than once every 50,000 miles, but that depends on whether you frequently drive on coarse roads [in this case it will need to occur sooner] or it could even be much later if you do mostly local driving, the roads are well maintained, etc.

  • Breakdown Cover – Finding Reliable Breakdown Recovery

    Posted on August 22nd, 2009 Mark No comments

    Let’s face it, having a breakdown is never fun and what makes matters even worse is, they always tend to happen at the worst possible time. For this reason, having suitable breakdown cover is a sensible option but what many people don’t realize, not all breakdown cover policies include breakdown recovery.

    Whether you get stuck on the side of the road with a flat battery, or whether you end up with a flat tire, having breakdown recovery included in your cover means that help is always on hand. Even if the fault can’t be repaired on the spot, at least you’ll still get a tow.

    Roadside Assistance

    Of course, if you already have breakdown cover, you’ll already know that the policy includes roadside assistance. Essentially, as soon as you call for help a patrol vehicle is immediately dispatched along with qualified personnel who’ll do everything in their power to ensure you’re on the road again in a minimum amount of time.

    If all else fails, you vehicle will be towed and depending on your level of cover, you’ll be provided for with regards to onwards travel. Of course, there are many different forms of cover so be sure you choose one that best meets your needs.

    Does Cover Include Other Vehicles?

    In the vast majority of cases, your breakdown cover will not include cover for other vehicles so if this is a concern for you, be sure to discuss this prior to accepting a policy.

    Unfortunately, many motorists tend to be under the impression that their breakdown cover provides cover for any vehicle, only to be later disappointed when they learn otherwise. If you own a minibus, van or motorcycle, you’ll need to take out a policy specific to that vehicle.

  • TX Defensive Driving Online Blossom

    Posted on August 21st, 2009 Mark No comments

    Many US states chiefly amongst them, Texas and Florida, have pushed the advancement of defensive driving class.Training companies have grown like weeds since several states began to persuade drivers who had been ticketed to take defensive driving classes. In many areas, you may trade your ticket for class time. The result is you learn in school and get that ticket canceled from your record. Some of these organizations even offer internet defensive driving class.

    So, what is responsible for the surge in TX defensive driving course we are witnessing? Ticket revenues are a chief cash cow for many states. To give a part of this up in return for education indicates the schools truly work well. There has been rising pressure for more and better driver education for two main reasons. The mortality rate from automobile crashes has gotten out of control especially with drivers under 25. Such mortality rates as well as the collision costs, are putting a tremendous strain on the insurance companies profits reducing their ability to offer affordable insurance.

    Let’s be honest, you know when other people do dangerous things, so this article isn’t about whether you know right from wrong, is it? The objective is to remember what’s right and make it happen, before you do something stupid.

    The key to achievement in any pursuit is to adopt a healthy attitude of pride; are you proud to be a good driver? Just as many other things in life, defensive driving is a matter of your attitude.

    Driving a car is the closest most of us can ever come to flight under our own control. Just step on that gas and go, go, go! It’s too easy to become careless and even forget that there are others out there on the road with us.

    Do you want to stay healthy and out of the hospital or alive for that matter? Then know that a certain portion of the drivers whom you share the roads with are careless. This awareness is the criteria for good defensive drivers.

    We hope you get a good grasp on this trite but rewarding principal of pride in the things that you do; in doing so you will become an excellent driver in no time as well as remain one for the rest of the road ahead.

    There is a positive and negative relationship linked to how well you drive and how long you live as well as a specific correlation to how high your insurance premiums are. If you can live a long life and save money then you’re a winner and a great example to your fellow drivers.

  • Old radio shows are wonderful for us all!

    Posted on August 20th, 2009 Mark No comments

    When I started commuting almost an hour and a half to work, I got really, really bored. That’s a long drive, and frankly the news plays the same 5 minute sound bytes over and over again. I was losing my mind.

    That’s when I discovered old radio shows. I happened to be searching online and came across it. I don’t remember exactly what led me to it, but I’m so glad I found it.

    My discovery led to some great old shows like The Shadow, Abbot and Costello, Lights Out, Campbell’s Theater. Very cool stuff. My drive to and from work for the day suddenly became a highlight instead of a chore.

    However, the more I listened to the old radio shows shows, the more I got interested in whether or not there were any new shows that were created in the same “spirit” as the old ones.

    Sure enough, there were! Great shows like Red Panda Adventures and Black Jack Justice from Decoder Ring Theater products. Very cool stuff.

    Now, any time I’m bored sitting in a waiting room or taking a long drive, or just whatever, I let radio drama keep me entertained and enthralled instead of twiddling my thumbs.

    To my great surprise, I often find myself wishing that my waits or drives were longer! Now how’s that for proof of how great these cool shows are?
