iPhone or Droid

It's time for me to consider a new cell phone, as mine is not working very well. My brother owns a Droid and absolutely loves it. He likes that it has an actual keyboard, not just a touch screen. Being on the Internet is easy and he has no problems connecting. My sister has the iPhone and she also loves her phone. She loves that it is just a touch screen, iPod, and the Internet also. It seems to me that they both have wonderful options and I just need to decided and make my purchase. Too bad both phones cannot be combined into just one, the best of both.

Actos Lawsuit

It seems that when we need to take a medication for health issues it almost becomes a toss up as to wether we should really take those medications because of the serious side effects. One such instance is the drug Actos, which is prescribed for those with Type II Diabetes. The side effects range for heart attacks, heart failure, and bladder cancer. This makes me very sad as that there are many people that suffer from Diabetes, including my own mom, who are now at risk for something maybe even worse that what they are being treated for. If someone suffers from one of these side effects an Actos lawsuit is always a possibility.

Football Season

Football season is upon us. For those of us that love the sport whether it is the NFL, college, or high school the season is upon us. Three days of football, my husband is going to be in heaven. There is Friday night when our son will be playing, Saturdays when there is college ball and he can watch the Iowa Hawkeyes, and then there is Sunday watching the Minnesota Vikings. I am excited to watch Cole on Friday nights but that is about the extent of my enthusiasm. Looks like John is going to be or not be doing much for the next three months.

Chores

I have decided that I am tired of being the only person in our home that does all of the household chores. It seems like I just get the laundry done and someone comes home and the basket is filled up again. Or those of us that are home at supper just get things cleaned up and others come home, eat, and leave their mess for me to clean up. Shoes, that is another thing that I just don't understand. Why is it so difficult to take shoes off right when one comes in the house instead of leaving them all over the house. I am dreading hunting season, which is right around the corner, as they will be so much crap laying around the house.

Topamax

A anti-convulsant drug used to treat epileptic seizures in adults and children is now being looked into for it's very serious side effects. The drug Topamax is also used to treat migraines and hopefully will prevent them. Unfortunately, Topamax has very serious side effects causing cleft lips and cleft palates in newborn babies. There are varying degrees of severity, but knowing it could have possibly been preventable is heart wrenching. The attorney's at O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath and their staff are waiting to help with such a liability lawsuit. Contacting this Austin personal injury attorney is just one way to help with such a unfortunate situation. Their expertise and highly trained staff are waiting to help.

Summer's Almost Over

It's official, the end of summer has almost arrived and with that it's time for school to start. It seems so unfair that the summer months have to go by so fast and the winter ones seem to stay around forever. The end of summer not only brings the start of school, but also football and volleyball. Soon things will go from green to brown and the temperatures are going to start dropping way to fast. The only good thing about summer coming to an end is that it is that much closer to it starting all over again.

Survivor Is Still One Of The Best Compeition Shows

Thanks for the post from Stan Atkins

On Thursday nights, the http://www.expertsatellite.com are taken advantage of in our house is tuned into one of the best Prime Time Competition Shows around: Survivor. This is really the show that started it all so many years ago. Of course, the contestants get dropped off in the middle of nowhere and are left to fend for themselves. While a basic food, like rice, is usually given to the contestants, who are usually split into two teams called tribes, they have to find their own steady supply of food. Plus, they must make their own fire and usually have to boil water before drinking it. The conditions the players must endure are usually very difficult.

But what makes Survivor such a great show is the challenges. The reward challenges are usually for some great food or sight seeing experience and the immunity challenges are for staying safe from being voted off the show, but just the activities the folks have to do is what really separates Survivor from the average competition show. Sometimes the challenges reward physically strong competitors, sometimes the fastest, but sometimes the smartest and most clever rise to the top. Survivor is one of those games that requires several different qualities from the players, but the really trick is to pull the whole thing off while you are starving. This is just a great show to check out, and a lot of fun to see what creative games the folks come up with.

Heat Advisory

Today in Iowa we are in a warning for an extreme heat advisory. We are suppose to have a heat index of around 105 - 110 degrees. I am ready for summer and warm temperatures to begin, however, I am not sure I want it to be that hot. Not only are the temps going to extreme, I think we are suppose to have some very high humidity. If thats the case I had better finally turn on the A/C, especially if I don't want Alli to be crabby. She does not like the humidity.

Sunshine

The weekend has finally arrived and I am hoping with it's arrival we will get to see a little sunshine. This week started out with record breaking high temperatures and the next day it was 30 plus degrees cooler. I woke up this morning to the sun trying to show itself, however the clouds have now taken over. The weekends are so much more fun when the sun is shining and the weather is perfect for being outside.

Seasame Street

My three year old daughter Dru is watching Seasame Street this morning. She usually doesn't watch this program, however, today she seems to be enjoying it. This program sure has changed since I watched it as a kid. For one thing we didn't have Elmo's World, which is what is on right now. It is kinda of annoying the way Elmo talks in the third person all the time. Elmo does provide good learning though. Another change since my childhood would have to be Abby's Flying Fairy School. Dru also seems to enjoy Abby and her school gang. They always manage to get into some type of trouble, but they always seem to find a solution to help get themselves out of it, teaching a lession to the viewers.

Topamax

I had never heard of Topamax until a lady at work started using this prescription drug for her migraine headaches. At first all went well for her and she started improving a little bit on her migraines. After about three or four months of using Topamax she started experiencing some pretty bad side effects of this drug, the most significant was drastic hair loss. She finally decided she needed to stop taking Topamax because of the hair loss but she was also concerned about other side effects she may not have been aware of. O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath are attornies in the Austin, TX area that qualified to help with any type of Topamax lawsuit, especially if your unborn child was injured because of this harmful drug.
