Save on Car Insurance

Monday, February 11th, 2008

If you like to drive insurance is a must. It protects you from life’s little accidents. Cost-U-Less has insurance that can fit into a student’s budget. They’ve been helping people get coverage since 1980 and they specialize in giving insurance to students. If you have questions about insurance, they have answers.

Hair Dryer, Anyone?

The weather is wonderful! I don’t have to run the heater; I don’t have to run the air conditioner.  Too bad this will only last for a couple days.  Then again, I could be in International Falls, MN where it’s -40.  That’s the actual temperature, not some weird ‘wind chill’ temperature.

Here’s something I found out when I lived in Michigan for a year – hair freezes in cold weather.   Just a little tidbit for those of out there who don’t understand the cold like we people who’ve really lived through it (actually, I heard it was a mild year that year).

Enjoy the Show

Are you planning a get away to New York and hoping to see a show while you are there? You can get Broadway theater tickets from the premium online ticket source before you head out and not have to wait in a ticket line when you get there. TickCo Premium Seating has premium seating Broadway theater tickets for Young Frankenstein, wicked and more. They have Broadway theatre tickets for all theater locations.

But what if you are more interested in a trip to Las Vegas to see a show there? This is still the ticket place you want because they have those seats too. They also have tickets for NASCAR, concert tickets (Hannah Montana anyone?) and sporting event tickets. Basically, if you want to go see something that needs a ticket to get in, TickCo Premium Seating is your ‘ticket’ to a ticket (great pun, huh?)

What if there is absolutely nothing happening that you are interested in seeing or watching right now? Sign up for their e-mail newsletter and they will keep you informed of events as they are announced. (Don’t worry that it will come with alot of spam because they don’t share their e-mail list with others.)

Lions and Tigers and Hives, OH MY!

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Oh, what a weekend for my older son.  We had one dose to go on the 10 day course of antibiotics he was taking for an ear infection when his body decided he should be allergic.  No hospital necessary but the boy got hives and spent the weekend scratching.  Actually, just the time between when the Benadryl wore off and when he could have another dose without overdosing.

When he first started scratching, I just thought it was because I told him something he didn’t want to hear – that makes him itch.  But when he woke me up at midnight and said he couldn’t stop scratching I took a look and it looked like he had welts all over his body!  It wasn’t until morning that I managed to put the word hives to it. Then the call to the doctor (“Hi, I’m not going to give him the last dose of antibiotics even though I know I’ll be creating a super-bug that will end life on this planet in doing so.”) and the wait for a return from the on-call nurse to say what he could have for the itchiness.

Good times.  Too bad for him, they cleared up in time for him to go to school today.
