You Tube is full of wonderful videos of our soldiers dancing over in Iraq. This particular one really impresses me and I thought that I’d share it here on my blog. Like I said there is a good amount of videos on You Tube, if you like this one you should check it some of the others as well.

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.

Sometimes I think that so many people get caught up in the time saving features of using the Internet for their shopping, that they overlook the importance of supporting local businesses.  It is surprising to find out that many local people don’t even know what local restaurants and businesses there are in their towns!  Even though I do buy a lot of things over the Internet, I also try to support the local economy as much as possible.

That’s why I appreciate the local.com website.  It acts like a local yellowpages.  With just a few keystrokes and clicks I can do a local search to help me find what I need using the local stores and businesses.  After all, if we don’t support the local businesses, no one will have a job and we’ll all starve to death!  The job you save may be your own!  So if I can buy something close to home, I will make the effort to do so.

I can remember the summer that I decided to take a college math course.  I was in a big hurry to finish up my college degree, and the local college was finally offering the statistics course that I needed to take during a time frame that I could actually take it!  Little did I know that I’d be dedicating my entire summer to that course!  Every waking minute was studying statistics! I sure could have used some statistics help back then!

The only place that I could get free statistics help back then was to go to the University itself and sign up for a statistics tutor. That was all well and good, but it was almost impossible to find a mutually agreeable time to meet the tutor and get to work!

The kids in school now have it a lot easier; with the Internet at their fingertips they can use the Internet to get all the math help they need for free at the tutorvista.com website! I sure wish that site was available when I needed it!

To me it is sad to hear that a man was so terribly desperate with his tax problems that he felt that he had to burn his house down and then crash into the local IRS building. Taxes have always been a big issue in people’s lives, something that I guess we will always need to deal with. These are scary times, what with the economy in such a mess and now that it is tax time I’m afraid we will be hearing more stories like this one.
