I remember the first time that I heard about the Mesothelioma Disease that we are now hearing so much about on the TV. A co worker of mine (at that time) was telling us how his uncle had just been diagnosed with Mesothelioma. He apparently contacted this type of cancer while serving in the navy, while being in one of our many submarines. That has to really suck. It did open up a lot of discussion about what happens to our good citizens that put their lives on the line during their military time spent serving our country. It’s too bad that many of them come out of the service with many health issues to deal with for the rest of their lives. 

There is a local Mesothelioma Attorney that is heavily advertising his law practice to people that have been affected by this type of cancer that could possibly use his services. I no longer am in contact with this particular co worker, but I’m hoping that they have contacted a good Mesothelioma Lawyer that will help them receive money that is rightfully due to him, because I’m pretty sure the VA will not be much help in that area. Our veterans deserve all that they are entitled to and so much more.

I’ve heard that 49 of the 50 states have received snow this year. Isn’t that something. We are being told to watch out for Monday’s rain, that will cause some major flooding issues with so many people. Not only the roads are going to be a mess, but there is going to be a lot of basements filling up with all the water that will happen to find it’s way in there. This has been one wild and crazy winter season and I’m more than ready for spring!

I know that right now most people have snow blowers, shovels, salt,gloves and long underwear on their mind. My goodness we are having one heck of a cold winter so far and it is only the first week of January. I’m so done with it and ready for spring. I’m just not a cold weather type of guy, I’d much rather be in the warmer weather.

I have a lot of thoughts and ideas that I’ve been kicking around in my head about what I would like to start having done around the yard come spring. We don’t have a lot of outside yard space, but what we have access to I’d like to have looking nice. I’ve all ready purchased a nice Decorative Planter that I found online at Planterixchange.com last year. I found some real good deals  on all types of Planters at the end of last year’s season, it’s always a good time to get discounted prices.

Teri has ordered some Window Box Planters that we are looking forward to installing on the front windows. She will be in charge of planting and maintaining those Planters while I tend to the Outside Planters. Between the two of us we should be having the place looking good in no time, so now it is just a waiting game with the weather.

I was fascinated to read on the BBC news website’s science page a story about how pictures from a satellite show that the earth’s gravitational pull differs from spot to spot.  What that means is that there are some spots on earth where a person weighs more than on other spots!  I better not let Teri know about this map, she will want to move to where she weighs less!

Teri bought a bamboo nightgown yesterday. It feels very soft and silky. She said that it was the most comfortable nightgown she has ever worn. I had never heard of clothes made from bamboo before! I think it would be very interesting to go see the process of harvesting and manufacturing bamboo clothing! I googled it a few minutes ago, and although I found several articles describing the process, I think it would be very interesting to see a video of it. I wonder if there has been a show done on it! If you know of one, and it has a website address for me to see the show, I’d be very interested to hear from you!
