Rank my tattoos

by

I just came across and interesting site. I know that a lot of my readers have tattoos. Yeah you do, I’ve seen you talking about them on your own blogs and even showing pictures of them sometimes too.

That’s why I thought of my tattooed readers when I saw this website that’s called Rank my Tattoos. I know some of you like to show off your tattoos, or maybe you want to get other peoples opinions on the design that you just had tattooed onto your skin. Well, now you can post your photo on the rank my tattoos site and have your tattoo rated.

I think this is a cool idea. If I had a tattoo I might think about doing it too. Well, depending on where exactly I ended up getting my tattoo of course.

Hey, let me know if any of you try this site out. I’d be happy to go and rate your tattoo.





Belisi fashions for the trendsetter in you

by

Are you a fashion trend setter? If you are, or if you’re interested in putting a finishing touch on your look, you’ve got to have a look at Belisi.com. Peter Belisi has become well known for his high – end, high-quality tie collection. He’s also come out with a fashionable line of scarves and handbags.

Peter originally started out as a Bartender working in Palm Beach and catering to the trend setters. He set out to begin his own company, and emulated his high end clientèle by investing his extra money in a tie collection. Before long his co-workers and clients began to notice his fashion sense. It was through these humble beginnings that he began Belisi Fashions.

One thing that I love about this company is that whenever you purchase a Belisi product a portion of the purchase price goes towards helping to fight poverty, protecting the environment, seeking justice and funding medical research. That’s another good reason to take a look at the fashionable items at Belisi.com.

Might take a break

I’m still feeling totally awful. I can’t believe it. I’ve gotten into a bad sleep cycle and I’m sleeping during the day because my pain is keeping me up at night. I’m sure that this isn’t helping at all.

I feel so dragged out and I’ve got a pain in my abdomen that’s been relentless for the last three days or so. It’s a cross between a fist and a knife jabbing my right side.

I feel exhausted but I can’t sleep. I mentioned in an earlier post that maybe I could help myself get better if I just knocked myself out for a few days. That idea has become more and more appealing.

I think I might just do the bare minimum of blogging over the next few days, so if you don’t hear from me after you’ve written to me with a question please don’t think I’m ignoring you. I just need to try to rest and to try to feel better.

India’s broadband forum

by

My readers from India might be interested in learning about the India broadband forum. I’ve just been to visit it and I can tell you that if you are looking for information on any many of the top broadband internet services in India this would be a great forum to go to in order to learn more about your ISP.

There are a number of forum categories ranging from ones that discuss specific Indian broadband ISP’s such as Airtel Broadband, one of the leading broadband providers in India, and Reliance Broadband – another popular ISP both discussed in the DSL forum, to other forum topics such as Cable Internet services, general discussions, News and Views, Computer Technology and of course a General forum where members can talk about most anything they wish to discuss.

The forums appear to be fairly busy and there’s a good sized member base. I’m sure that if you were looking for information on how to speed up your internet connection or even how to hook it up yourself you would be able to find some on the forums to talk you through it or to give you good advice.

My friend opened a gym

by

One of the nurses that I used to work with in the pain clinic, many years ago, used to work three jobs. She worked at our clinic three days a week, at another clinic the other two, and every single day she taught aerobics and other classes in various gyms around the city. She was just a ball of energy, and she still is! She actually left the pain clinic that we worked in together just before I did, and when I started working in the hospital that I’m currently employed at, who should I run into but my old friend.

I think it was 1999, or 2000, when we still worked together at the pain clinic, that she began to talk about training for a new fitness training course. The course she was taking was a mix of boxing and kick boxing. I know she traveled out of the Country to do her training and I believe that she went to the original creator of this new form of exercise, Dean Lister, who first opened his fitness club in 1998. Dean Listers first club was called The boxing Club and I’ve just learned that it’s been expanding nationally throughout the US.

My nursing friend is still going strong with her courses and I’ve just learned that she’s opening her second gym now too. It’s interesting to think that she got her start with Dean Listers newly created fitness regime.

When I start to feel better I’m going to get in touch with my friend and see if I can join her new gym. She’s an excellent fitness trainer and I’d trust her advice. Since movement these days pretty much causes pain in my abdomen I’d have to start off with gentle exercises but I’m sure with her knowledge I’d get back into getting into shape without hurting myself or causing my tummy to hurt more.
