One of the greatest things that happened when my husband and I recently moved into our new house is that we switched our television providers. Up until then we’d been cable television subscribers, because that’s what both of our parents had always used. We were looking around at our options for television in the new house and we discovered directstartv.com. We gave them a call, the installation was free, and we are now enjoying tons of television stations, as well as music stations and movie stations. It’s pretty great. We’ve been spending date nights in and ordering movies, and we love to curl up on the couch and watch our shows on DVR. There’s nothing better than getting home after work and knowing you have plenty of time to relax on the couch and watch television. With our DVR, we’re able to record movies from the movie channels too and enjoy a completely free date night. We love it so far, and with the money we’re saving on our monthly subscription plus the money we’ve saved on date nights, we’re planning a pretty phenomenal trip. We’re pretty excited.

Let us hope that everyone has a great and safe Thanksgiving long weekend holiday. Lots of people are hitting the road for the big day and traffic on the roads and in the air will be extreme. Please be safe out there folks……….

The topic of conversation at the bar last night was all about best hair loss solutions available today for both men and women alike. It must really suck dealing with hair loss as a man, but a woman – I can’t even begin to imagine how that would feel like to face and deal with. I do think that women have a better option with wigs that are available, hair pieces for men haven’t had the best reputation through out the years. I can usually spot a hair piece on a man, but it is much harder to tell if a woman has a wig on, usually.

Of course there are numerous products on the market that have been proven to help with hair loss that were discussed as well. Your doctor should be able to discuss these options and of course the Internet is a great resource to use in order to find information on these products.

I can’t believe that the owner of the restaurant and bar that I tend the bar at has, at the last minute decided to have their doors open and welcoming for the day of Thanksgiving. After finding that most of his employees don’t have immediate family members to celebrate the holiday with, he made his decision based on employee availability. He has been asked numerous times by the “regulars” if he would consider this possibility and he grabbed the bait and definitely ran with it. Just wish he had not waited until the last minute.

So the bad news is that I have to tend bar that day. A bar and restaurant filled with all of the other “loners” in the county will certainly be an interesting shift, they better not be stingy with their wallets, due to their loneliness and depression that is known to hit people harder during the family oriented holiday season.

The good news is that we are promised to be paid overtime for the inconvenience and all of our efforts in making this as pleasant as we possibly can.

Still trying to figure out a great gift to buy for my Dad as a Christmas present this year. Men are so hard to buy for and considering that my Dad is at the age where he has most of what he wants and needs all ready it can be a struggle. There is nothing worse that spending time and money on a gift that isn’t appreciated nor will it be used, so I am constantly trying to figure out what to get him each year for Christmas, his birthday and Father’s Day.

I have thought of one thing that I think he might like considering he spends so much time outside on his very noisy tractor, a pair on in ear noise cancelling headphones might be something that he would enjoy. He could also use them for when my daughter has the urge to crank up her teeny bopper music that he on occasion will make a remark on or complain about. So they would get used for several noise control issues. Guess I need to get off of it and get on to finding him a pair online today.
