Do You Ever Have Hand Pain From Excessive Computer Use?

As a writer and jewelry maker-not to mention, someone who has been using the computers for years, I often get hand pains. Way back when, I think I even remember being put on the computer at 5 years old in Kindergarten in a program called "Writing to Read." I think perhaps that is what sparked my interest to writing as I grew older. We would sit and type up stories about cut-outs we found in magazines and learn our alphabet and words.


Today, I spend quality amounts of my time at the computer writing content articles, poetry and probably a more than equally amount of time on Facebook. So--there's probably a lot of work going through my fingers and hand that can make them hurt quite often. Awhile back, I already had a doctor tell me that I had the starting of Carpel Tunnel. Immediately, I started talking to others who experience the same pain, and they told me try to Vitamin B or even Vitamin B6. As long as I take those continuously, my hands don't  hurt as much.


As i was searching the Internet, I found a website that offers products to those with severe hand-pains. Become.com offers what are known as arthritis gloves. Apparently these can help you while you do activities such as knitting, typing or other crafty things. They keep them warm while offering circulation therapy. They can be somewhat described as finger-less gloves---except these make your hands feel good!


When I searched farther on the Become.com website, they also offered other care items too such as home and garden tools, electronics and even those sonicare replacement heads for those great expensive toothbrushes that I would like to invest in one day....


Anyway--if you are looking for other items to help hand pain you could be having, you might just check out that website.

eBay Auctions, Free Listings and Spring Cleaning!

I've been busy trying to put up some eBay auctions to clean out lots of extra clothes and sell my jewelry too. For those of you who frown at the listing prices, starting April 19th, you can list up to 50 items per month starting at any price that you want for free. Of course, you will still pay the final value price, but the listing fee will be free. It even said something about adding a buy it now button for free too.


If you are like me and would like to do some spring cleaning or need to make some extra cash, you might think about posting stuff on eBay with the new FREE LISTINGS coming up. 


I will be selling some of my handmade jewelry, some clothes, (of course my writing services too!), and I have a few neat lists that are full of wholesale and drop-shipping websites too. 


For those of you that would like to see what I am selling on eBay (and yet, there will be more to come), check out my eBay link below. Happy Spring Cleaning!!

Online Zoo Webcams

It can be a lot of fun visiting the zoo, but it also can be a bummer when you can't get there. Especially if its raining or you have just been too busy to get away. There are a variety of virtual zoo cameras online where you can see zoo animals every day...

Watching animals online is a great way to teach your children about wild-life as well-not to mention-very entertaining! You can see gorilla's, seals, elephants, pandas and so much more... If you are looking for zoos to visit online, check out this article about zoo webcams.

THE FALL OF AMERICA





I think it began sometime after the two New York towers fell.
At least back then, America was more like a team,
trying to prove our freedom as one.

Somehow since then,
It feels like its all falling apart.
Somewhere along the line,
Many politicians have started to lose their heart.

A recession has taken toll on many lives and businesses.
Ma and Pa shops are closing,
small towns are fighting to keep their faith.
Somewhere along the line, God has been lost in their hearts too.

Families are becoming grief-stricken with the loss of jobs
and applying for government assistance to try to stay afloat.
Before we know it,
That ship too will have sailed, and we will lose that also in the fleeing boat.

Unemployment lines are growing long and dim.
Whatever happened to that bright smile of freedom?
Are we really going to let those heartless greedy politicians win?

Years ago as a child, I had the American dream.
There was so many things that I wanted to be.
And now, I fear for that dream for my child today...
Will she get to be all that she can be?

I pray every night to God,
with all of my heart and might.
Please let their be a light at the end of the tunnel...
Take those politicians to Oz,
Dear God, give them a heart.

Americans need to come together,
be that team that they once were
when that sad day of the towers fell.
If we could remember some of that strength we had then,
Maybe we could fight for what we still believe in.

Or has it finally happened,
That America has given up?
What ever happened to that dream...
What about our veterans who fought for our freedom?

Certainly there are still a handful of us that care
The pull down of the American flag, is a sight that I can't hardly bare...

Its true, many of us now find ourselves sitting at home,
perhaps wondering how we are going to pay our next bill,
or where our food is coming from.

But the time is now...
Our freedom is at stake,
Our children...they still deserve that heartfelt dream.
With God on our sides, we can be a powerful mighty team.

I know some of you might be afraid--
and that's okay,
But those Americans in the past-
they didn't fight for just nothing...

They fought for their families,
and a future for us...
It's time we begin to raise the American flag high...
Raise it up for tomorrow's future...

Because forever more,
It's always been,

IN GOD WE TRUST

Are You a Young and the Restless Fan? - My Dream Job

I've been watching Young and the Restless probably since I was at least 5 years old. I know that I used to sit and watch it with my mom back when I was younger. In junior high and high school, I would record the episodes that I would miss, so that I could watch them after school. I have been an avid watcher for years.


Since Yahoo! recently acquired Associated Content,  more opportunities have come my way. One of them is writing episode recaps and other content about Young and the Restless. I feel so blessed, and lucky to be able to watch the show and even get paid to write about it! This has become one of my dream jobs, and I feel very lucky to have been given this chance...


If you are a fan of the Young and the Restless, I have created a blog, that includes content and updates that I write for Yahoo! Television. You can read updates on the Young and the Restless at my new blog at:
http://www.youngandtherestlessrecap.blogspot.com/


If you would like to support my writing and also read about the latest on Y&R, please feel free to read my blog at anytime: http://www.youngandtherestlessrecap.blogspot.com/
