Social Media Noise

October 30, 2010

People older then me ask me all the time what is this social media they hear about all the time and can I attempt to explain it to them. I’m not sure there is a simple explanation to their query, there may not even be a complex explanation but there is an easy one I can give. Social media is a corner bar with lots of alcohol flowing freely, the room is jammed with men and women shoulder to shoulder talk animatedly about their lives, hopes and their dreams all the while there are two bands playing at full blast one at each end of the bar. The patrons of the bar don’t seem to notice that there are two bands playing at club social media, they are in the energy flow of the moment just sharing and sucking in everything around them. It’s like old fashioned business networking on steroids, that’s social media in a nut shell and if you can jump on and pay attention to all of it as it goes on you may ride the viral wave.

How Old Cheap Cars Can Be Useful

October 30, 2010

Many people buy pre-owned cars and save on thousands of dollars. They find this a better option than buying a new car because it is possible to find good cars that are about 3-5 years old and such cars do last a good number of years with some care and maintenance. However, you do come across people looking for used cars under 1000 dollars. Nevertheless, generally, people who look for such cheap cars may not be ordinary people who want to use the car for their daily running needs, because most folks are aware that used cars that cost below $1000, will be a white elephant, eating into their hard-earned money.

Mechanics and junkyard owners buy cheap used cars that sell for $1000 or less for the parts that they can salvage from them. Most of them have a keen eye for spotting parts that are reused with some repairs and maintenance. In addition, they may even notch up a good profit for such parts, which they buy really cheap.

October 29, 2010

With controversy mounting over the 2018 World Cup, many are looking towards 2022 to see who the front runners are to host the tournament. Currently the hopeful bidders are Australia, the USA, Quatar, Japan and Korea. This looks to be wide open at the moment, though Japan and Korea will no doubt fall at the first hurdle considering they joint hosted the tournament in 2002. If I was betting man I’d draw my credit cards and put my money on Australia or Quatar. Sport, leisure and tourism seems to migrating towards the middle east, Qutater already hosts a round of the moto gp world championship while Bahrain and Abu Dhabi current host F1 grand prix. It’s only downfall is it’s proximity to Iraq and Afganistan which would increase the risk of terrorism. Australia has a good shout with its impeccable weather, sports mad public and strong infrastructure. It did a great job at the 2000 Olympics and it could no doubt reproduce such a show.

Feeling Sorry for Myself with My Lyme Disease Treatment

October 29, 2010

I returned home from the doctor’s surgery this afternoon in a very sorry state feeling as though I had the weight of the world on my shoulders as the doctor had diagnosed me with something called lyme disease. I have been to the drug store and picked up my course of antibiotics which I am to take as Lyme disease treatment for the next two weeks but I then have to go back and see the doctor because if it doesn’t clear up properly it is possible that I can suffer long term effects such as arthritis which is awful enough but it is also possible to suffer cardiac or even neurological damage. All of this from a tick bite that I got when taking my friends dog for a walk whilst they were away for the weekend. That is the last favour I do them that is for sure.

Baby’s Skin Condition That Worries Parents

October 25, 2010

A couple of weeks ago, I was browsing on the web for acne pictures when I came across this healthy little baby. She is so adorable. Unfortunately, she is suffering from a mild case of acne. I remember my eldest son. When I gave birth to him, I discovered that he has acne. At first, I thought it’s just the milia that I see in baby books. But milia are not red. I asked my baby’s pediatrician about my baby’s skin condition. She then assured me that baby acne is completely normal. No need to fuss about. Yes it can be very frustrating especially for parents but it is only temporary and will fade away completely. I am so relieved! She also mentioned that in order to keep my baby’s acne under control, I should always keep his face clean by washing his face with water and mild soap at least two to three times day. She also cautioned me about the use of oils and harsh detergent. Since these can only make his acne worse. Well, she was right, it did fade away. I’m so pleased and thankful.
