The Police are touring again!

by

I love the Police! No no, not the police that I’ll be calling if my karaoke neighbors don’t quite down momentarily. No, I mean the band – The Police!


Not only did they get back together for a 30th anniversary tour that has just started and runs until November 11th, they’ve also put out a 2-disc police cd of their greatest hits!

I’m loving it!

I’ve seen the police in concert twice before. Both times in Toronto. One time I saw them in a small venue – yeah really. That’s the best! The last time I saw them was in a large venue. Both concerts were amazing. I went with Chris and some friends both times and it was a blast. We never had front row seats or anything but we were able to get close enough.

If you get a chance to see them live, and this might be your one and only chance – Do It! You will not regret it. My memories of both concerts are so vivid. Chris is a musician and I’ve come to understand and feel the music almost as much as he does. All I can say about the concerts were that, for me, they were mesmerizing.

I haven’t purchased the police cd yet, but I plan to sometime over the next week or so. There’s 30 hit songs on the discs- 15 on each CD with songs such as Can’t Stand Losing You, Next To You, Roxanne, Message In A Bottle, Every Breath You Take, Don’t Stand So Close To Me, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic and I think my personal favorite De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da.

I’m almost as excited about buying the CD as I am about the chance to see another concert. My only problem with attending their concert is that it will be here in Toronto on November 8th and uh … I’m supposed to be attending a Blogging convention in Las Vegas at that time. Hmmm what to do, what to do …





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.
