School Days

Posted by Santi on January 26, 2012 No comment

It’s too bad that I wasn’t interested in History back in the days of my formal education. The old saying of “youth is wasted on the young” certainly holds true in this case. What I wouldn’t give to be able to go back to school and really take advantage of all that an education – especially in History could and can provide me.

I was telling my mom the other day that I really would like to go back to school and she is urging me to go ahead and give it a try. Well easier said then done at this point in my life, so many obstacles are in the way. Time is an issue, and although I know that you can take classes online I think that I would be better in a formal classroom situation. And of course money is a big issue as well.

My mother was telling me of all the financial aid information that is available right online, she even tells me that there is help for left handed students which is way cool since I am left handed. She is going to send me a couple of links to some websites that she was telling me about with this type of information for me to take a look at. I’m getting excited just thinking about going back to school. Where there is a will there is a way, right?

Wet Basement

Got home tonight to find a foot of water in my basement, had to find a basement waterproofing company that made late calls. The company that I found was a life saver they were priced better than the national companies, and were right in my neighborhood.

Budget Dry got right to the house and took care of my problem, the staff was very efficient and friendly, which is hard to find at 8 pm any time. Check out their website at http://www.budgetdry.com if you ever need budget basement waterproofing any time of day or night.

I was very happy with the service provided and will be pleased to recommend this great company to my friends and family.

Sexual Harassment Videos

One thing that I really loved about working for Nationwide Insurance so many years ago was all of the training that they provided us. Most of it took place at the Regional Office which was over fours away, so that meant that we were usually put up in a hotel and were provided with an expense account which was always such a blast for me and the other employees that I drove down with. I just loved the idea of spending a night away from home in a nice hotel and being able to eat out instead of having to do the cooking myself. A mini vacation for a working mother such as myself.

These days the Internet has made it possible to keep employees from having to travel so much by bringing a lot of training right to them, saving companies a good amount of money along the way. Now a days there are sites like securityawarenesstraining.com that have everything that you need for employees to learn about all kinds of awareness training. They even have sexual harassment videos through this site, and we all know how important sexual harassment training is in today’s work place.

But what they really need is to really take action on people that are still continuing to sexual harass others at work. My oldest daughter seems to find herself being harassed at every place she finds employment. Trying to prove this behavior isn’t easy and she always ends up leaving while the idiots still continue on making money and taking advantage of girls/women. Managers are crooked, video tapes get lost or erased and the abuse just keeps on keeping on, a sad state of affairs. If my daughter wasn’t legally an adult at this point you can bet I’d be sticking my nose into and lighting some fires under some hind ends.

New Lighting

Our old house is in dire need of some new lights to brighten it up and after searching a lot of web sites, we have decided to go on the up side of lighting fixtures to add to the resale value of our home and to make it more enjoyable to us now.

Fine art lamps are the thing we are looking to add to our home decor, we found a great selection on Farreys web site and wanted to share them with you. Their web site has a wonderful selection of very nice lighting fixtures, everything from fine art to serviceable utility lamps.

Among the lighting manufacturers that Ferrey’s has on their web site are Ambience, Maxim Lighting, Murray Feiss, Flos, George Kovacs, Hinkley Lighting, Fontana Arte, Kichler Lighting, Minka Lavery, Quoizel, and Sea Gull Lighting. I can not wait to get started installing this fine lighting and make our home shine again.

Women’s Health Issues And More

I just love having so much information at the tips of my fingers when ever I want or need it. I used to spend a lot of time at the library and at the local Border’s Book Store (which has since gone out of business) but now I don’t have to go anywhere with my high speed Internet access with Verizon.

One of my favorite websites that talks a lot about women’s health issues and various other subjects related with today’s women is Lifescript.com. I always find interesting articles that I can use for my personal everyday situations, so I thought that I would pass the good word about this site along here on my blog. There is always something new and interesting relating to women’s health that is being discovered and I like to try and keep up with as much as I can. If you don’t have your health your life can spiral out of control and make everyone elses life just a miserable and misery really does love company.

You can even find them on Facebook, which is the biggest social networking system going on today. I’m so glad that I finally jumped on board with Facebook and I can’t wait to see what else become possible with Facebook in the future, I mean the possibilities are literally endless.
