As much as I initially liked it, Entrecard has gone to pot now with unbelievably assinine ads getting approved and the quantity, my god, unreal and unwanted. No thanks. I will still drop on a few but its not for me anymores. Aw well.

Most recently since my desktop is all jacked up I have been using the tablet to assess the interweb. Oh joy what fun, not. First, the thing can only go so fast with a 1 GHz processor, #2, I’m on wifi with max speeds of 54 Mbps on the router so it says but we all know that’s a lie, and #3, my modem keeps recycling. I had finally had enough of that and called them when I couldn’t get it back online no matter how many times I unplugged the blasted thing. You want to know what they told me? My modem is dead/dying. Bull, because I actually thought of that and bought a brand new one which did the same thing. I ended up sitting on the phone with them for a good half hour to an hour while they “diagnosed” the problem. I wanted to stop waiting and get going but they were my hold up. They finally got it “fixed” and gee, the thing doesn’t recycle anymore either. I swear I need other options to choose from but I am almost stuck with these guys because the other only option in my area is bad, bad, bad.

I keep looking for how close Charter is to me but they aren’t quite there yet. For what I am paying now a month I could get their up to 5 Mbps plan and still come out ahead. I should probably go to Charter’s Facebook page and bombard them with posts whining that they need to expand faster but that might be rude lol

If you’re into technology like I am you have noticed all the lowering of prices from each of the 4 mobile companies. Now the only question will be who will reign supreme? ‘Member that from the video game MTV Celebrity Deathmatch I think it was? That was a fricken awesome game. I always played Shannon Doherty as one of the Charmed Ones. I still have a copy of it too, just gotta build another desktop. I’m tired of fixing the current one. Might as well start fresh but I’ve gotten off topic….

Lowering of the cell phone bills, whose seen them recently? Have you taken advantage of any of them and reworked your current contracts? You should, or you could wait because I can only imagine and hope that they will go lower as everybody tries to beat out everybody else for more customers.

I used to take the Flinstone vitamins when I was growing up but only the red and purple ones because they were cherry and grape. The other ones were nasty. Sometimes I would take a handful of them because they were so tasty and figured there was no harm because they were just vitamins. Well, now I know better but I do not take them. I just can’t get past why I should. I think hospital employees become cynical in the ways of things dealing with your health.

Potentially women should be taking iron due to losses each month. We should be taking vitamins to help keep our bones strong but that’s why I drink milk. For the calcium. I have not hit that elderly level yet but give it time, maybe I’ll change my mind by then and start taking them. Another good vitamin to take would be Omega-3 Fish oil. That will help lower your triglyceride level if it is high. It is the same ingredient in tuna. I actually thought about taking the Omega-3 when I found out mine were high but decided to eat the tuna instead.

If you happen to be on a ketogenic diet which is closely monitored by a physician you must take quite an assortment of vitamins daily to compensate what you are missing in the limited food plan. Buying them on VitaDigest might help in the cost as they offer free shipping on orders over $100. Right now they are offering an exclusive 10% off Coupon with coupon code “izb10jan” through the end of February for you to use. VitaDigest has over 13,000 vitamins, supplements, and other health products as well as being awarded INC5000 for 2009 as top 5000 Fastest growing company. I just wish I had thought of this sort of website earlier because it will only grow.

So what vitamins do you guys take or do you think they are bunk?

I gave up trying to keep up with the cool kids’ toys a long, LONG time ago. I am always on the look out for that 1 device that will do everything I ask of it and keep functioning like it should for years at a time. All these kids that come into clinic with their DSI’s, iPods, iTouchs, and even cell phones just kill me. Who has that kind of money to be spending on it all? Not I for one. If I can find a device that has it all then that’s what I need to spend my money on. My main functions are an MP3 player for the gym and if I can find something that will let me listen to FM Radio too that’s a score for me because the TVs have that option at the gym if I so choose. So we have radio covered. Then I would need a cell phone, camera with flash, video, calendar, and email as well. Combine all that and I’d pretty much be a happy camper so long as the sound quality was good and the phone itself looked good. What I do miss in my current phone is the TrackID that I used to have on my old one. I don’t know why companies don’t think that isn’t a much needed function.

The LG Chocolate Touch has all of these functions and more with the sound quality being Dolby. If you are into all the social media like Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter you are covered.

There are only 4 states that have an unemployment rate worse than mine. Knowing that I am glad I already had a stable job even though I had to go on furlough for some of it. Working in certain sectors affords you some stability. What might those be? Some could include but not limited to healthcare, education, mechanical, or engineer. I know I have been using a mechanic quite often as of late and still need to fix a few more things but these are somewhat minor and is more electrical than mechanical even though the mechanic is going to have to fix it.

We recently shut down a couple of schools which prompted an excess in teachers with a short supply of jobs available to them since not all the teaching jobs were filled at the beginning of the school year. That actually developed an aggressive push for the jobs that were available and the ones with the more experience as well as certain college degrees were most likely the ones who were fortunate enough to get an interview. I still need to finish my degree before I retire from the hospital so I can start another career in computers. My only shot at this is to take online courses due to the ease of me doing my school work on my own time within the time frame given. The USC Rossier School of Education’s MAT@USC has program information regarding a Master of Arts in Teaching degree which hopefully some of the teachers here had. USC offers an accelerated 12 month course from an accredited institution that has a 100-year history which has been ranked #9 among private universities. USC has a tuition reimbursement specifically for MAT graduates. I try to pay for my courses out of pocket but may have to look into this to complete it.
