The neighbors are practically coming through my wall

by

My neighbors are driving me nuts. They are provoking me. Soon, I’ll be able to plead insanity or mental cruelty if I end up doing anything that’s against the law.

I’m talking about my karaoke neighbors. They can’t sing worth a shit and play the karaoke music so loud that it makes my walls … and my head vibrate.

I can’t get them to answer the phone or respond to me.

I’m literally banging on the walls to try to get their attention.

I’m not going over there because I truly am afraid of what I’ll do. Honest.

I don’t mind that they are having a party but keep it down at least a little would ya? Are they the only people allowed to have a Saturday evening?

Idiots! idiots, idiots, idiots! Grrrrrrrr





Nike Maxsight tinted contact lenses at Sanders Contacts

by

I’ve been a contact wearer ever since I was about 20 years old. I’ve tried a lot of brands, that I’ve purchased through opticians offices and Eye wear stores. It’s only recently, perhaps in the last year or so that I’ve begun to purchase contacts online.

In the past I’ve usually stuck with my favorite tried and true contact lenses but I think that this time round I might try the new Nike MaxSight Contacts from SandersContacts.com. These new contacts from Nike are tinted to eliminate glare and increase contrast.

There are different colors or rather tints of the Nike MaxSight Sport contact lenses. The grey green tinted ones are supposedly better for golfers, runners and those who tend to be outdoors in bright sunlight. Then there are amber tinted contacts that are designed for sports like soccer, tennis, baseball, football and other sports that require tracking a fast ball.

The lenses are on sale right now – about $2 off per box or a $10 rebate if you purchase four boxes of lenses at Sanders Contacts.

Sanders appears to be a good company to deal with. They have free shipping offers and ship new orders quickly, as well as having sales and rebates on various products or brands. They also accept all major credit cards so it’s quite easy to make a purchase from the company.

Check out the site and this new type of contact. I know I’m going to! Don’t be surprised if you see me wearing new tinted lenses soon. I hate wearing sunglasses so this is perfect!

Strange weather

by

Man, we just had a huge storm roll through the area.


My mother in law called about an hour ago – she lives outside of Toronto and she said that big old trees were down on the streets and that she had a hard time getting home because of all the damage to the trees from the wind.

I would not be surprised at all to hear that a tornado rolled through the area!

It was 31 C (88F) when the storm hit but it dropped down to 19 Celsius, 70 F or so, now. That’s more than a 10 degree drop! Unfortunately it’s still extremely humid!

When we get hot humid weather like this we almost always have a big chance of a violent storm.

Using business cards to promote my blogs

by

I mentioned on one of my other sites that I’ve been invited to a few speaking engagements recently. One of them is a 4 hour blogging seminar that will be held in June. There’s four sessions open for those who want to sign up and learn more about making money through blogging.

If I attend and speak at these seminars I’m going to make up some business cards first. So I think this weekend I’ll head over the one of the office supplies stores and get one of those packages were you can print out your own cards. I’ve done this before to promote my sites but I haven’t made up any new business cards since I started blogging a year and a half ago.

People are always trying to come up with new ways to promote their sites and I’d actually forgotten about using business cards. I mean if you have a job where you meet a lot of people and sometimes talk to them about blogging, or if you socialize often ie attend parties, take your kids to their after school activities and sit with other parents etc … why not make up some cards with your site address on them and hand them out to some of the people you are talking with if they’re interested? You might end up getting a new regular reader by doing this.

I know this worked well for my websites. My websites are exotic pet related so if I got into a conversation with someone about exotic pets, or visited a pet store and let them know who I am (my sites are very popular and I’ve written several articles for top reptile magazines) they happily take my cards so that they can hand them out to their clients. They do this because my websites are a source of care information.

Whether it will work for blogs I’ve yet to find out, but it’s worth trying.

Planning a big family get together

by

I got together last night with two of my brothers and my sister for dinner. One of my brothers was visiting the city on business.

While we had a nice meal in a fantastic restaurant we talked out the big family get together that we’re planning for the end of August / beginning of September.

We’re going to have a big family barbecue one day so I’ve got to get folding tables and chairs for the party. Yep, that’s one of my assignments.

The other is to plan another activity that we can all do. Since Toronto is on a lake I was thinking that perhaps we might go on one of the boat cruises on Lake Ontario … They have dinner cruises so we could spend a nice evening on a boat and have a great meal too. I think I’ll be making some calls later today to see how much that would cost. There’s going to be about 30 of us!

Maybe they’ll give us a group discount?
