Owning a franchise

After having worked in a number of retail places and seeing how the big boss man has to bend over backwards and touch his toes quite often to please certain customers, I have often wondered how stressful it would be to own afranchise. Some people really go for that sort of thing. I guess it could be considered a big business opportunity. If you can handle the stress it might be rewarding. It would be interesting to open up a subway or something some day.

Facial Cleansing

You know, I always, always see the Pro-Active commercials on tv. I don't get pimples often but am always wanting to try it because people on tv say how great it makes your skin look and feel. However, then I go online and read some reviews and while alot of people say it works, many say that it makes your skin really, really dry and not as soft as they claim it does. So for a REAL acne treatment for those of us with skin that tends to get dry anyway, i'd keep searching and checking out websites that have reviews on REAL acne treatments. Never trust what you see on tv fully. You just never know.

Greatfull

I can't say how greatfull I am enough for Tricare insurance. Some people say it isn't that great, but it's treated us very well. However, not everyone is in the Military and most people have a very hard time finding affordable health insurance plans. Having health insurance is a must these days. Especially with all the flu bugs going around. You can find some affordable plans online if you do some research. Try looking up Blue Cross North Carolina to see some great options. Before I met my husband I was working at a Hannaford in Maine and did NOT have any insurance. I went over two years without seeing a dentist because I just couldn't afford it.

Baths

So I fully admit to taking to many baths. I rarely take showers. That's probably weird these days. I think it's because I was so used to, when my son was a baby, only being able to take very quick hop in/hop out showers. Now that he is older, I can take the time to take a nice hot bath. You know what I think is interesting? are those walk in bath tubs that they have for seniors. That is a pretty smart idea. It's so easy to slip and fall in a bathtub. These are easy to get into, and easy to get out of. Safety first.

When your computer crashes

You know, there is for sure a down side to having all pictures be digital these days. Not only do I not have any to pass out to people to put on their walls or in their wallets, but I risk my computer crashing and losing years worth of pictures. I guess that is why so many people are making sure that they use an online backup in case they get a virus or their computer breaks down. It's almost like having insurance. I would hate to lose years worth of pictures. It's worth looking into, that's for sure.
