Insane Random Ramblings

I should be used to snow

2012-01-21T20:57:00.002-05:00

Every year when it snows people act like they've forgotten how to drive in the snow or act like it's something they've never seen before.

Last night I got home extremely late and there was already a decent amount of snow covering the ground. It was only a few inches but the plows hadn't been out yet and there was also ice to contend with. It took me over 45 minutes to make a drive that's usually 20 minutes. But I wasn't in a hurry and I just took my time to make sure I made it home safely.

Since everyone is afraid to drive, the roads should be pretty clear for me to go out shopping tomorrow.

Another year and batch of resolutions

2012-01-06T10:49:00.002-05:00

And of course, another year where I don't meet half of them. I think I made 7 this year. 2 of them I will definitely meet because they're related to my housing purchase. Another I should hit because it's related to my housing purchase but it can occur in 2012 or 2013. Basically it's just make sure I close no later than March 31, 2013. Easy peasy since that's already in my plans. The rest are hit and miss.

I've had weight loss on my list for the past several years and it's always a bust. The first year I weighed more than I thought I did so even though I lost weight, I didn't get to where I wanted to be. The next two years I just maintained where I was at. Hopefully this is the year where I lost major poundage.

I do want to add money to my furniture and future loan accounts, mostly for student loans. I also want to add several hundred dollars to my investment fund this year. Then I made a goal for a cash savings account, after accounting for housing costs. Before I can determine whether I made the goal, I need to figure out what I already have.

If I meet 4 of my 7 goals, it will be a good year.

I'm going to start squirreling away vacation money

2011-12-30T10:20:00.002-05:00

I had some vacation money but I added a good portion of it to my housing fund. I also sent my brother and my niece some money so my vacation stash is pretty short.

One of my plans for the new year is to start sending small amounts of money to my various accounts. One of those accounts is for stuff for my house, another is a savings account for my niece and now I'm going to add to my vacation money. I guess that I'll only have enough to go away once every two years which is not bad.

Especially when you consider that I haven't been on a vacation in about 4 years.

I need this cold to go away

2011-12-08T23:11:00.002-05:00

I have a cold/the flu/yuckies...something. And I don't like it one bit! I've been sick for almost an entire week. I didn't feel well last Friday so when I got home from work I pretty much spent the entire weekend in bed. Then on Monday I left work early and spent the next two days in bed. I did go to work today but I felt terrible.

To add insult to injury, I burned two of my remaining vacation days so I have to reschedule my days off. I was supposed to have 1 4-day weekend and a 5-day weekend for Christmas. Now I have to decide if I want to give up one long weekend totally or have two long weekends, but shorter than I had anticipated.

I'm leaning towards 2 short weeks because I need all the time off I can get. Besides that it should be pretty quiet the week of Christmas anyway.

Yeah for another 3 day weekend!

2011-11-10T09:38:00.003-05:00

Oh my how I love them! I'm pretty tired this week because in addition to working overtime, I worked 6 days last week so I haven't had a lot of rest. This morning, I almost overslept because I just didn't want to get up. Luckily tomorrow is Veteran's Day and I have the day off of work.

I don't have anything major planned. I'll sleep in, wash a few loads of clothes, run out to the store and then chill for the rest of the weekend. I'll also try to watch CNN or another news channel and watch one of the parades going on around the nation and watching the President put a wreath on the tomb of an unknown soldier. As far as my personal plans, I plan on getting as much done as possible tomorrow and Saturday because I am doing absolutely nothing on Sunday.

It is way too early in the year for snow!

2011-10-29T19:00:00.002-04:00

Wow...but here it is. When I went to get something to eat this afternoon, I saw a truck today covered in snow and I was wondering where it came from. I asked the lady driving and she said they had just driven in from the eastern part of the state. All I saw was a lot of rain so I was curious about the snow.

When I got home, I turned on the Weather Channel and that's when I saw that there was a Nor'Easter that hit the entire East Coast. It's crazy because I was hoping the temperatures would get back into the high 40's and 50's. Instead it looks like I need to break out the parka's and ski pants.

One of my coworkers loves this type of weather. In addition to playing softball, he also plays ice hockey. He is totally ready to break out his hockey gear and hit the ice. Well he can have it because I know his wife will be sitting in the house watching hockey on tv and not sitting in the stands watching it in person.

I knew snow was coming sooner rather than later, but I was just hoping for much later.

I am so not ready for cold weather

2011-10-28T09:55:00.003-04:00

When I left out on Tuesday it was semi nice outside. I didn't go outside at all on Wednesday because I wasn't feeling well and didn't come to work. So imagine my surprise yesterday morning when I walked outside and it was freezing cold!. The high for the day was in the 40's. Add to that the fact that it was raining all day and you have a pretty wet, cold, gloomy day. Today is a little better. It's still in the 40's but the sun is out and it's dry.

I am so not ready for this. I love fall and football but I could do without the cold weather part.

I'm starting my shopping early this year

2011-10-14T22:08:00.006-04:00

I have to start early since we all know the holidays will be here before we know it. Generally I only bought a couple of gifts and I was done. Now both of my nieces have children and I won't get them anything as usual. However, you have to buy for the kids and I'm sure pocket door lowes are not at the top of their lists. But I'm quite sure zhu-zhu pets or some other furry toy is.

Of course while I'm buying stuff for them, I'll look for myself as well. I can always look for cheap radiators for my car. An even better bet is to look for sandbags for sale. I plan on using them for my new yoga regime. They're not expensive at all and I'll be able to put it to use right away.

The best part about shopping is that I can go to one website and find everything that I'm looking for. If for some reason I can't find it all at one place, I can find somewhere that carries it and I can find out what stores do carry it.

Now I'm debating whether or not to buy this radio that I just saw for my workouts. Oh wait, I'm supposed to be buying for the kids. I guess shopping for the holidays is going to be harder than I thought.

Yay for vacation days!

2011-10-09T16:10:00.002-04:00

This is a 3 day weekend since tomorrow is Columbus Day. I still have several vacation days that I need to use before the year end, so I took Tuesday off as well. Now instead of having a nice 3 day weekend, I have 4 glorious days off.

I don't have that I plan on doing on my days off either. I just plan on relaxing and enjoying the days off. And the best part is that I still have 4 days of vacation/personal days left to take. I'll get in at least 2 more 3 days weekends! I surely won't know how to act next year when I get 3 weeks instead of 2.

Just when you thought a oral medication was better than a shot

2011-10-03T11:07:00.002-04:00

All medications have side effects. Unfortunately some are more serious than others. There is a diabetes medication called Actos that came out with a great idea. Take it orally instead of by shot. I have several friends with diabetes and one has to take the shot every day. She would have been thrilled to be able to use a oral medications.

Instead there is now the possibility of there being a Actos lawsuit. Actos is for type 2 diabetes and only has to be taken once per day. Unfortunately, in recent studies, it has been show to lead to serious injuries including head attacks and heart failure. There is even an increased risk of bladder cancer. All of these can lead to an Actos lawsuit.

If you have taken Pioglitazone, the chemical name for Actos was sold under the trade names Actos, ActoplusMet, Competact and Duetact you may need to see your doctor for more tests to make sure your aren't experiencing any adverse side effects.

As always please read the small print and ask plenty of questions before taking any medication. Your health could depend on it.

I need a fall jacket

2011-09-16T18:08:00.003-04:00

I did not expect to need a new jacket in mid-September. But the past couple of days have only been in the 60's and I don't have a light jacket to wear. I have a mid-weight jacket and my heavy coats and that's it.

Every year I realize I need a jacket in early Fall and late Spring when it starts getting nice. I think I'm just going to go ahead and spring for one next week when I get paid.

Two short work weeks in a row

2011-09-01T12:34:00.002-04:00

Just the way I like it. I was off last week and I didn't work on Monday of this week, resulting in a 4 day work week. Monday is Labor Day in the US and a federal holiday so I'll just work 4 days next week as well. Sadly, I don't have any plans to do anything special except hang around the house but just knowing that I don't have to go to work is cool with me.

Hopefully I'll have a way cool vacation planned for next year.

This summer is going way too fast

2011-08-18T00:26:00.002-04:00

It always seems like the summer is the shortest season of the year anyway, but this summer is ridiculous. Partly because I don't have any plans and partly be, cause I'm working overtime. It seems like I leave work, go home, and go straight to bed and start all over. I shouldn't complain because I am making some extra cash and my job generally never authorizes overtime.

But I'll be glad when I get a moment to stop and catch my breath.

Those MegaBus cheap rates are the real deal

2011-07-08T10:37:00.002-04:00

I have to admit I had my doubts about the availability of those really cheap rates. Until I talked to a friend of mine and she said that she had booked several tickets to go to DC, Cleveland and Toronto. She didn't pay more than $50 for all of the trips combined, and that was for multiple people. She told me that the trick is to book as soon as you think you may be travelling before all of the seats sell out.

I need to get to booking a trip for myself soon. Since money is tight again this year, that's the only way I'll be able to get out of town for the time being. Now to figure out where to go.

I'm getting travel fever

2011-06-24T11:57:00.002-04:00

I haven't really been on a vacation in several years and I'm itching to go. To make matters worse, I've been reading a bunch of travel blogs getting ideas about where to go. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to go on a real vacation. I may have to consider going to visit family and calling it a trip.

I'm going to start saving now for next year because I miss my yearly vacations.

Another family member is ill

2011-06-06T09:43:00.002-04:00

I got a call a few days ago that another family member is dealing with a pretty serious illness. I feel bad because our close family unit is dwindling down. However you can only have so much sympathy when the person is in a self destructive mode. Still it's pretty hard to think about another family member being that ill.

I should learn how to do my own hair

2011-05-13T19:57:00.003-04:00

I only get my hair done once or twice a year. Cost is a small factor but the time issue is a major factor. I hate sitting in the salon all day waiting for my hair to get done. When you consider the fact that I have fairly long hair and get a really easy style, I should be in and out in about an hour.

I've often thought about going somewhere like Columbia beauty school to learn how to do hair. Not only would I learn how to do hair from expert instructors, I would also get to get offer discounted salon services to my friends and family. The discount is available to the general public but of course I would invite those closest to me.

I also believe the education that I receive would benefit me and the community at large. Once I'm finished with the program and have a license, I could work in a salon or even open my own salon. It's definitely worth a second look.

Where is Spring?

2011-05-05T09:25:00.002-04:00

Brrrrr it's cold outside. It's supposed to be spring but it still feels like winter. Yesterday it was downright cold all day. I had on a spring jacket with a long sleeved shirt and I was still cold. Today is a little better but not by much.

I am so ready for 70's and up.

I may hit up MegaBus soon

2011-04-14T11:32:00.002-04:00

MegaBus travels out of Pittsburgh and it goes to some really neat places. I can go to places in Ohio, New York or even 3 different cities in Canada. At this very moment Canada would prove to be a problem since my passport has expired, but I plan on taking care of that within the next month or two.

I figure if I can get a cheap bus trip, I can stay at a budget hotel and have a short getaway which I desperately need right now. It's not the beach vacation that I really want but anywhere is better than where I'm at right now.

You may want to stop taking Topamax

2011-03-29T20:36:00.004-04:00

If you have serious migraine issues, often a doctor will prescribe Topamax to ease your pain. It's also a anti-convulsant that's given to children and adults to battle epileptic seizures. The problem is that it can cause cleft palates. They can range from a small notched lip to a severe open groove that extends from the roof of the mouth to the nose.

Because of all of the side effects, there is a serious Topamax lawsuit going on right now and there are highly trained attorney's ready to handle your product liability claim. Call the attorney's below for your consultation today.

It's March Madness Time!

2011-03-15T23:35:00.003-04:00

And it's time for me to get my bracket together. I really don't like basketball but I do like watching college more so than the pros. That being said, I've probably only seen 3 games all season. Nonetheless I'll be making out my brackets like everyone else.

Now I just need to figure out who's going to be my sleeper team this year.

My cousin wants to go on a shopping trip

2011-02-26T20:08:00.002-05:00

And I'm scared!!! I'm not a big shopper and I never have been. My cousin on the other hand loves to shop. What's scaring me though is she's very label conscious. If I see something I like but I wouldn't normally buy, she'll encourage me to buy it, especially depending on who the designer is. If it's a big designer she'll be extremely gung-ho. Anyone else and she'll waffle.

Before I make any plans I'm going to sit down and make my budget. Then I'm going to decide what I can and can't afford and stick to that budget like glue!

That crazy woman almost hit my car

2011-02-10T11:37:00.002-05:00

What is with people driving and texting? Everywhere you look there are ads saying how dangerous it is. Not to mention that it's illegal in a lot of places. That doesn't stop people though. I thought I would need a lawyer since she almost side swiped me. Of course that caused me to swerve which almost led to me hitting someone else.

Luckily it wasn't icy that day or I would have been in trouble. I would have hired someone similar to a Austin Personal Injury Attorney here locally. You can best believe I would have had a personal injury lawyer on my side if I had gotten hurt. Especially since they almost always have a free initial consultation. Sometimes you need someone who will vigorously defend you against people that can't follow the law.

If someone side swipes you or causes an injury, you may need a personal injury attorney. If you are in the Austin area you should look at the attorney's of:
O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath – Personal Injury Lawyers – 808 West Avenue, Austin, TX. 78701 – 512-494-9949

It doesn't matter if you're in Austin, North Richland Hills, Hood County or anywhere in between, and they'll meet with you at a convenient time and place. Get the legal representation that you need for experienced attorney's.

It's finally here

2011-02-04T08:50:00.002-05:00

Wow Super Bowl weekend is finally here! I can't wait for the game on Sunday. Once I leave work today I'm going to get all of my running around done so I don't have anything left on Sunday. Today I'm going to the store right after work to get some hair care products. Then I'll wash clothes this afternoon and I'll iron at least enough clothes to get me through Wednesday of next week.

I'll also cook for today and tomorrow. It will be something easy like kielbasa and kraut and maybe some beans. I'm only making this because I still have kraut left over from New Year's that I want to use before it goes bad. I'll clean my house tomorrow and then I can kick back, relax and wait for Sunday.

Now I just have to decide who's house I'm going to watch the game at. Decisions, decisions.

I still haven't settled everything

2011-01-11T10:27:00.004-05:00

When someone passes away there is so much stuff to be done to settle their estate. I don't have a death certificate yet so I'm having trouble getting a lot of stuff done. I can't say that I blame the company's that I'm dealing with but it's still a pain. One company will accept the obituary however most of the other company's will not. As of right now, all of the utilities are still on and bills are still accruing. I have to take care of this soon so these bills can be shut off.

I haven't even begun to go through all of the paperwork that I've found. That's another month-long project that I have to deal with.

I had a death in the family

2010-12-27T12:59:00.003-05:00

I usually don't write as much on this blog as I should or as I want to. If I get in 3 blog posts a month, I'm doing good. This month however, a death in the family impeded my blogging progress. I had planned on doing a post every 2 weeks at least if not more. Hopefully now that the madness is over, I'll get back to that schedule.

At least I hope so. My blog looks pretty bland and boring right now!

Investing for Christmas

2010-12-07T19:15:00.003-05:00

Most people never think to invest for Christmas. It's all about gifts and shiny things. Now you can have the best of both worlds when you buy gold coins from US Gold Bureau. Think about it for a minute. Not only is gold a beautiful gift that most people would love to have. But it's shiny, pretty and fun to look at. Most people would be so happy that they would constantly show it off and brag about it. One of the best feelings for a gift giver is to see their recipient truly enjoying their gifts.

Now what better gift can you give someone? It's something that they'll enjoy now and the value will keep rising so it will be worth much more later. Gold coins are really the perfect gift.

I haven't blogged in almost a month

2010-11-17T18:49:00.004-05:00

Not on this blog anyway. For some strange reason, I could not log in. I kept trying to use my all of my available email addresses but I could not figure out which one would let me log in. It's been extremely frustrating because I've had a lot to say but I couldn't get in to say it. Now I don't even remember what I wanted to say.

Oh well, at least I can get in now. Hopefully it won't happen again and I'll be able to blog like normal.

What an abrupt end to Summer

2010-10-14T22:27:00.002-04:00

It's been really warm since the middle of September. Last week it was still in the 70's. Boy did that change and change quickly today. It was in the low 60's, windy and rainy. And I do mean windy. I was walking close to where they had close off a portion of the sidewalk and the caution tape had come loose and was flying through the air. Just as I walked by, it slapped me across the chest and neck. I was disgusted because the tape was dirty and wet. I was just happy that it didn't hit me in the face.

I miss Summer already.

Sometimes you need a attorney on your side

2010-10-07T19:04:00.002-04:00

And the highly trained attorneys at O’Hanlon, McCollum & Demerath want to be just that attorney representing you in the DePuy Hip Replacement lawsuit. They are uniquely well-equipped to handle even the most complex products liability claims including this lawsuit.

On August 26, 2010 DePuy Orthopaedics Inc. recalled over 93,000 hip replacement systems. An unusually high number of people are experiencing severe pain and swelling. Some of the pain is so bad that users are requiring a second hip replacement. Most people don't even want to undergo one surgery, let alone two.

If you have hip pain from a potentially faulty system, give the attorney's a call.

I definitely won't go to a playoff game this year

2010-10-01T21:23:00.000-04:00

Last year I tried to get playoff tickets for several baseball games. I waited until the last minute so I wasn't able to get tickets. This year is a way different story though. I don't know what I've been doing with my money this year but I don't have any extra money right now.

At least I'll be able to watch most of the playoff games on tv.

I can't believe it's already October

2010-10-01T19:11:00.002-04:00

This year is flying by. It's already October and it seems like I haven't accomplished anything this year. I haven't met any of my financial educational goals. I did graduate from college last year but I was thinking about going for a graduate program this year. If I do decide to go back to school, it definitely won't be until next summer.

I need to get in gear because I am way off of my game.

I'm really getting good ideas from this shopping channel

2010-09-24T20:06:00.002-04:00

I watch a ton of tv. I mean it's almost always on. If I can't find a good baseball or football game to watch, then I turn on the shopping channel. But I never seem to buy anything from them. The main reason is that I've found that I can get a better deal in a regular store or even on another website. Take gold coins for instance. With gold at over $1200 per ounce, they'll sell a coin for close to that amount but it will only be 1/4-1/2 of an ounce.

I already know that I can go to a website like the United States Gold Bureau and get a coin for a great price. More importantly, it will be a quality coin not some left over coin that's all scratched up and almost worthless for collecting purposes.

I'll still watch the shopping channel though. Those people really entertain me.

I wasn't able to do anything for vacation

2010-08-27T18:59:00.002-04:00

And this stinks! I've been sitting at home doing nothing for a whole week. At this point I am totally bored. I found out that my favorite baseball team is on a road trip. I could have gone to either of the cities that they're playing in but there were some obstacles so I had to cancel those plans.

I need to figure out what's going on for next year. Sitting at home for a whole week is for the birds.

I still don't know what I'm doing for vacation

2010-08-20T20:32:00.003-04:00

And it officially started today. I'm supposed to go visit my mom but I'm not sure what day I'm going or if I'm actually going at all. One of my friends gave me a short-cut to try but I don't know if I really want to take that drive at all.

I really should have planned ahead because I wanted to go away for a week. Of course I waited until the last minute and now I'm unable to actually go away. I don't have the money like I did a few years ago where I was able to make spur of the moment decisions.

I'm not getting stuck again next year, I've already started looking at travel arrangements. I will be on a beach somewhere in 2011.

This computer is making me cut into my fun money

2010-08-11T19:20:00.000-04:00

I had a small amount of fun money set aside. It can range from a few dollars to a couple of hundred bucks, it just really depends on what's going on in my life at that particular moment. Right now my fun money is pretty low, it's less than $25 because I'm going to visit relatives this month and I want to make sure I have enough to have a good time.

I'll take the money that I have closer to the Christmas holiday and buy a new netbook. I had really wanted to take that money and buy gold bars to add to my portfolio. I already bought a coin and now I'm ready for something else to help me preserve my wealth. Gold also tends to grow with you. Even though it can be cyclical and go up and then way down, over time the value of gold rises.

Hopefully I'll find a way to buy both. That would make for a really happy holiday season for me.

I hope we get another radio station soon

2010-08-11T19:18:00.000-04:00

I'm going crazy listening to the same music all of the time. We don't have a urban radio station at all. Everything is top 40 and pop which isn't too bad except there's really only 1 station and it seems like they only have 8-10 songs in their rotation. You can seriously listen to the radio for 2 hours and hear at least 3 sounds twice in those 2 hours. If you hear a song that's over 6 months old, that's considered "old school".

I can't even stream music over the internet anymore so I'm really stuck listening to the same old songs.

Where did my post go?

2010-08-11T00:20:00.000-04:00

Ughhhh this computer is driving me insane. I just sat here and wrote a whole post and it totally disappeared. The auto-save feature did not work so when I started working on something else, my post got sucked into no-mans land.

I've put off getting a computer for quite some time now. There was a sale today but I'm going to visit family and I couldn't afford to put the money out right now. I wanted to save up and buy myself something else for Christmas, but I just may buy a new computer instead.

I'm not quite ready to sell my investments

2010-08-10T18:31:00.002-04:00

In my last post I talked about how hot it's been here in Pittsburgh. It's been dangerously hot and I needed a air conditioner. Of course by this being the middle of summer, they're sky high making stores a huge profit. I didn't have a lot of cash available so I thought I would have to sell some of my assets.

I considered selling some of the stocks or mutual funds that I own, but I never considered selling my bullion pieces. I bought them as a unique investment to help preserve my wealth and purchasing power. I got a great deal by doing my due diligence with the United States Gold Bureau before I made my purchase. I'm glad I did.

I plan on holding onto my gold for quite some time to come.

Summer is usually my favorite season

2010-08-10T18:15:00.003-04:00

But this summer has been brutal. It's over 90 today which means it will be over that threshold at least 3 days this week. Add to that the humidity and it's just ridiculously hot. I had to go to the post office yesterday and by the time I got back to the bus-stop I was sweaty and tired from the heat. I even stopped in the store to buy something to drink.

I had better stop complaining because the cold weather will be here before you know it and I'll really be sad then.

I won't be going to any baseball games

2010-08-05T17:58:00.003-04:00

I went to a baseball game with my company a few months ago. I thought I would go to another game before the summer was out but it doesn't look like I'll make it. I really wanted to go to tomorrows game because it's a bobble-head night. I love bobble-heads and I was looking forward to adding another one to my collection. Besides that I don't have any real Pirates memorabilia.

Unfortunately none of my friends are baseball fans so I don't have anyone to go with. I really need new friends.

Now is the time to invest

2010-07-19T18:48:00.003-04:00

When the market seems to be tanking it's usually a great time to invest. Most people are running in the opposite direction and selling at market lows. If you invest with the US Gold Bureau, now is a great time to buy gold in any form. You can buy ingots, gold bars or even gold coins as a way to round out your portfolio. US Gold Bureau also makes it easy to buy gold which you can have them hold at their repository or a independent bank. You can also have the gold delivered to you to store at your convenience.

Buying gold has been recognized for centuries as one of the best ways to preserve one’s wealth and purchasing power. With gold at all time highs most people are afraid to invest. I, however, plan on adding small amounts to my portfolio. Even if the price of gold starts to decrease, I'll be adding amounts at lower prices. A win-win if you ask me.

This summer is really flying by

2010-07-01T15:39:00.002-04:00

I'm happy and sad at the same time. Sad because this is my favorite time of the year and I don't have a lot of money to spend. So I'm pretty much stuck in the house for a while. I'm happy because it's so hot in my apartment. I did buy a air conditioner but it doesn't fit in my window. I don't have the receipt or remember where I got it from so I'm pretty much stuck with it.

I hope I get my hands on some money and soon. That way I can at least take a short getaway and buy a decent air conditioner. Then I would be very happy.

This is a really good game

2010-06-13T22:17:00.003-04:00

The Cubs vs The White Sox are on right now. Ted Lilly gave up a hit in the 9th to break up his no hit bid. The White Sox pitcher gave up a hit in the 7th to break up his no hit bid. The score is 1-0 Cubs and I'm rooting for the Cubs to win. They're in the same division as the Pirates but that doesn't even matter right now. I think we all know that the Pirates won't make a run.

I love Sunday night baseball.

Comparing prices on gold coins

2010-06-06T13:34:00.002-04:00

I'm looking to increase the value of my portfolio while diversifying across different asset classes. One thing I'm looking to do now is to buy gold coins from a reputable source. I've looked at a online auction site but their prices are ridiculously high. The prices they want aren't' even competitive with the market place.

I've also looked at a tv show but their coins aren't always as advertised which leaves me with US Gold Bureau which sells coins or ingots. Ingots are ingots of bullion cast. I can have the coins delivered directly to me which is very convenient. If the price of gold keeps rising and I decide I want to cash out the gold, I'll have the physical coins in my possession.

When you consider that they have very competitive prices as well as being America's best dealer, I guess you can see why I'm going with US Gold Bureau.

The concert is not a go

2010-05-26T19:35:00.002-04:00

I don't have anyone to go with and I don't want to go by myself. Especially since I would have to go out of town. I have no problem travelling by myself but a concert is different. I have gone out of town and gone to a baseball game by myself but that wasn't the reason I went to that city. It just happened to be the way things worked out.

I'm kinda hoping someone changes their mind soon. If I don't plan the trip I won't go. I don't want to go to either of those cities last minute.

I wanna go to a concert

2010-05-14T11:14:00.001-04:00

Which is very unusual for me because I hate sudden loud noises and I don't like large crowds of people either. It's a Jay Z/Eminem co-headlined concert. Jay will headline NY while Em will headline in Detroit. I'm sure those Yankee Stadium NY tickets will sell out. I would actually prefer to try to go to the Detroit show.

Now I just have to figure out a way to swing the cost.

I finally found something to watch on tv

2010-04-29T21:35:00.001-04:00

I never thought I would but I have and it's not what you would expect. It's a program that shows you have to invest by starting with the opportunity to buy gold bullion. I can get gold ingots or in coin form. Coins would work for me because I can store them at home in my lockbox. Bullion presents a great way to preserve your wealth and and preserve your purchasing power.

The United States Gold Bureau lets you purchase gold or coins for personal delivery or you can have them hold the items at a independent bank or depository. This is a great time to invest since production is slowing down. The items will soon be hard to get which will make their value skyrocket.

I have a few extra dollars laying around that I plan on investing very soon.

The tv schedule really stinks

2010-04-29T21:31:00.000-04:00

Geez I was just complaining about the lack of baseball. Now I see that there is nothing on television at all. Everything is repeats for the majority of the summer season. The only bright spot for me is sports which I lamented about in my last post. The new season of several shows does start in mid-June.

I for one can not wait!

I'm getting antsy for baseball games

2010-04-29T20:50:00.001-04:00

There haven't been any games on tv that I've wanted to see. There have been games but I wasn't interested in any of them. Basketball on the other hand is in full force. There are games on almost everyday. The fact that it's the playoffs has something to do with it but it's still annoying. Let's go with some more games!

My hair turned out great

2010-04-21T12:08:00.002-04:00

I got my hair cut this past weekend and it looks really nice. I don't have any split ends or frizzy/fly away hair. My hair dresser went to a great school but she could have gone to a Cosmetology school in Colorado where she would have learned the same things. Regency students work on real clients under the supervision of their faculty members. After they graduate the school has an excellent placement program that can put you anywhere from cruise ships to runway fashion shows.

I know my hairdresser got a top notch education because her work is awesome. I saw 2 people that she worked on before my appointment time and they both looked great. I will definitely go back to her and her number is on my speed dial.

I hate spam

2010-04-20T12:36:00.001-04:00

I have a ton of spam comments on this blog and on my other blog. I don't mind so much on this blog since I don't have any page rank. I don't know if my blog is banned by Google or not, but it has no rank what-so-ever. Not even a zero. It shows up as unranked. However my other blog is now ranked at a pr3 which is cool considering my previous high was a 2 then a rank spank for several years with a big goose egg to match. You can best believe I watch the comments on that blog very carefully.

Now I just need to sit down and weed through the comments on this blog.

I need new clothes

2010-04-19T22:55:00.002-04:00

I don't have anything to wear. I've finally gotten my weight to stabilize but I still weigh more than I really want to. I need to lose at least 1 size and until I do I refuse to buy a lot of clothes. Unfortunately that means that I have to make due with what I have which isn't a lot. It just seems like if I keep buying clothes at the bigger size that I'm agreeing with it or something and I most certainly don't like being this size.

I may have to take drastic action to get some of this weight off and I don't cherish the thought of going through this again. But I definitely need to get some of this weight off.

Our economy is in shambles

2010-03-01T23:21:00.003-05:00

And that ain't no random rambling either. We are not doing good right now at all. Wages are not even remotely keeping up with inflation. And that's if you're even lucky enough to have a job. Interest rates stink right now. The United States dollar index fell as much as 0.5 percent. The dollar fell amid speculation of the euro’s recent losses, Greece’s financial tumult and improving corporate earnings all of which reduced the demand for the safest assets.

Right now is the best time to diversify your portfolio. It's time to invest in all asset classes, not just cash and stocks. This may be the perfect time to buy gold bullion. Think about it, gold is just rising in price while everything else is stagnant. With the dollar devaluing, gold is a good hedge against inflation.

Now may be the time for you to look into buying gold too.

I do not like meetings

2010-02-25T09:51:00.003-05:00

They are so boring. We do have a small meeting every Friday but it only lasts for 10 minutes. I've had a training meeting twice in the past 2 weeks that have lasted over an hour. They're on the phone and computer but all we do is listen and watch. It's so unbelievably boring that it's ridiculous.

The last time me and my coworker ended up texting back and forth with each other for the whole hour. I can see that happening again today.

I totally missed my brothers birthday

2010-02-18T12:10:00.002-05:00

I didn't forget it but I never sent his card. I never heard from him to thank me but that's not unusual because I don't always get to talk to him. So when I cleaned my computer desk off and found the card I was pretty surprised. The card was signed and I even wrote out his personal greeting. I had never even sealed the envelope though, the money was still inside and everything.

I'll mail the card either today or tomorrow. I guess better late than never right?

They're finally getting married

2010-02-09T12:05:00.003-05:00

I can't believe it. My two friends who have been dating forever have finally decided to get married. And they're doing it in style I might add. They were going to go to Vegas but vetoed the idea. They decided to do one of those destination weddings to the Mayan Riviera. Ohh la la. Sounds like fun to me.

The picked the El Dorado Royale Resort and it sounds like heaven. They have air conditioning and ceiling fans which is perfect for me. They also have a artificial river that I can float on and when I'm ready to have a drink they have a swim up bar. Add to that the gourmet all-inclusive meals and beach side aerobics and what more can you ask for? I'm not even the one getting married and it sounds like a blast.

I better start planning now because I wouldn't miss this for the world.

I need new boots

2010-01-24T20:31:00.002-05:00

I don't have any snow boots. I do have a pair of dress boots that have a block heel that keeps my feet off of the ground in the snow and I don't slide. I can't continue to wear them though because they're only man-made materials and of course they're starting to crack. As it stands I can't wear them as anything but snow boots but pretty soon I won't be able to wear them for that either.

I guess I need to start comparison shopping to see who will give me the best deal.

This weather stink

2010-01-07T23:02:00.002-05:00

It is so cold outside right now. As if that's not bad enough, it's snowing like crazy. It's been snowing all week and it's not supposed to stop until at least Saturday. They're claiming we're only getting 3"-5" but it seems like so much more. I really hate Winter, Spring can't get here fast enough.

I can't believe it's almost Christmas

2009-12-22T15:05:00.001-05:00

This year seems to have flown by. It's crazy because it seems like it was just yesterday that we were bringing in 2009. Now it's only 3 days till Christmas. I'm leaving to go home on Christmas Day. I have to work on the 24th until 2:30. It would be dark halfway on my journey and I don't want to try to drive that far once it's dark. Weird I know but that's how I drive.

I hope you and your family have a safe and joyous holiday!

I am so ready for a vacation

2009-12-13T00:08:00.002-05:00

My job is so stressful right now. Between all of the problems that I'm having with my job search and wondering who is going to potentially get laid off, I'm not having a good time right now. I would love to take one of the cheap vacations that I've seen advertised lately.

There are some great deals going on right now. Especially if you're looking to go to the Riviera Maya. You can get a great all inclusive vacations at several distinct hotels. The best part is that each hotel offers something different. There are adult only resorts, family friendly resorts and if you're particularly adventurous there's a naturalist resort.

I don't know what I'm looking for right now. I wouldn't be opposed to staying at a family friendly resort or a adults only retreat. I'm not so sure about the naturalist resort though. I think that would stress me out even more. And right now, the only thing I want to do is relax.

I think I know what's wrong with my computer

2009-12-03T11:42:00.003-05:00

I've been having trouble with my home computer for a while now. I couldn't figure out what it was but now I think I know. I have spy ware on my computer. At first I thought it was a virus but my anti-virus doesn't turn up anything. Then I realized that I downloaded this program. I've heard that the program contained spy ware but it never caused me any problems. Now that I'm having problems I've figured out what it is.

Hopefully once I delete that program my computer will cooperate for a few more months. Or at least until I get enough money to buy a new one.

Fall is officially over

2009-11-11T13:55:00.002-05:00

For me anyway. I know that Winter is still almost a month away but for me it's as good as here. Baseball season ended last week with a Yankees World Series win, YAY!. But booooo it means that Fall is over. Done. Kaput. All I have to look forward to now is the days off between now and the end of the year.

It's gonna be a long time until spring training starts.

This is my least favorite time of the year

2009-11-01T06:06:00.002-05:00

While I love the fact that football is in full swing, it's the end of the baseball playoffs. At most there will only be 4 more games and then it's done. Not only do I mourn the loss of my second favorite sport, I also know that Winter is rapidly approaching.

I'm ready to start counting down the days to spring training!

Insuring and protecting my assets

2009-10-16T20:28:00.002-04:00

My bank has decided to go green. As such the new safe deposit boxes are not as secure as I would like them to be. They are also not fire-proof which doesn't bother me as much. I don't expect anything to happen to the bank any time soon.

I need to put a few things that I have in there. I have several insurance policies that I need to be able to put my hands on. I also have a few paper savings bonds and my personal papers. One thing that I don't have right now is my ingots. I'm looking at both silver and gold. Monex sells bullion or I can also buy American Eagle coins. I can put them in the box that I have or I can have Monex store them for me.

I like the idea of hedging my bets against a failing economy and I want to add metals to my portfolio. I might as well do it now while prices are low and make my profit with the rise in prices.

What a horrible start to the season

2009-09-28T12:18:00.002-04:00

I can't believe we're 1-2. I know it's early and we can turn it around and all that jazz. It's pretty bad when you lose to the Bengals though. I know the old adage about "any given Sunday" and "any team can win" but seriously they stink. They have no team continuity or chemistry and they still won.

We need to get it together and quick or this will be a long season.

My vacation was so boring

2009-09-06T19:53:00.002-04:00

It was last week but it was very boring. I didn't do anything for the 1st 5 days except rest and watch a lot of tv. Then I went to visit my Mom the last 5 days. I should have visited her the first part because that drive to and from her house really tired me out. But it was great to see her and I wouldn't trade that for anything.

Hopefully next year I'll get to go on a trip somewhere.

Preseason football is so boring

2009-08-24T21:53:00.002-04:00

I know it's to get the players back in playing shape. It's also a showcase for the rookies and guys that got traded to show the coaches what they can do. I think because I know these games don't count I find them boring. I'm trying to watch a game right now and I just can't get into it.

I do know that the regular season starts in 2 weeks and I can't wait.

It's vacation time

2009-08-21T19:41:00.002-04:00

I thought it would never get here. I'm not going anywhere though, at least not this year. I haven't had a family vacation in about 3 years but I hope to change that next year. I would love to go to the Mexican Riviera because it seems so beautiful.

They have one resort that's adults only which is perfect for me. There are 42 swim up suites which is awesome. The artificial river leads to the main pool and a swim up bar. All you have to do is step out of your room and you're good to go. There is one catch however, it's a nudist resort. If it's just 2 people that shouldn't be a problem. It actually seems like a lot of fun once you lose the jitters.

I'm going to look more into the Hidden Beach Resort Au Natural Club. It sounds like a blast and it's a definite possibility for next year.

Trying to keep up with my blogs

2009-08-07T22:58:00.002-04:00

I have so many to take care of. I have 1 that I never post to anymore. It was supposed to be a "training blog" for a friend, but she never took to it. I'll probably delete that blog pretty soon. Then I have 2 blogs that I only update once a week. I have another blog that I update 3x per week and 1 that gets updated 5x per week (Mon-Fri).

It gets tiring trying to keep them all up but I'm doing my best.

Crazy crazy sports world

2009-07-31T09:54:00.001-04:00

Everything is going crazy this year. Everybody and their mama is on steroids. People are shooting and killing each other. Then there are multiple suicides being reported on. The crazy thing is that you figure that the majority of these people have everything to live for. Then you find out that they're miserable in real life.

I guess it just goes to show that you can't judge a book by it's cover.

I found the cutest bracelet

2009-07-22T12:26:00.002-04:00

I've wanted to buy a charm bracelet for a while now. I've really just been procrastinating because I don't really want to pay for it. But I just reached my service level at work and I can order a gift from our company catalog. I found the cutest charm bracelet in there. It won't hold many charms but I can get just the ones I really want.

I think bracelets and charms are a good way to invest in gold. You can also go with a company like Monex that sells bullion and coins as an investment option. With the price of gold being so high right now, I'll take the gold anyway I can get it. Besides, I can always buy a ingot from Monex to hang from my bracelet.

What could be better? I'll have a charm, an investment and a conversation starter all in one piece of jewelry.

Strange neighbors

2009-07-20T15:56:00.002-04:00

I have new neighbors and they are really weird. They don't live in my apartment building though. In fact they don't even live on my street. They live on the street behind me. But their backyard faces my livingroom so I always hear all of their parties and everything. I don't mind when they play music until it's 1am then you get tired of hearing it.

At least they stay to themselves though.

There is nothing going on in my life

2009-07-03T21:00:00.002-04:00

I mean nothing exciting. I'm starting to feel like I need to do something drastic because my life is so boring. I don't really like to go out to clubs or anything like that but I need to get out more. When you start knowing the television schedule for repeats, you're doing pretty bad.

I guess it could be worse like it was a year and a half ago. My life was totally drama filled. Now that I think about it, boring is good.

It's a sports night for me

2009-06-24T19:07:00.002-04:00

I love when they show good games on tv. Most of the time I don't want to see the games that they have on every week. I do have favorite teams but there are a bunch of teams that I will watch. Unfortunately for me, most of the teams that I don't want to see are who they show.

I wish I had seen the USA Soccer team match today. I couldn't believe it when I heard that they had beaten Spain. I know that was a good game. And I'm sure it's gonna be a great party tonight.

Gold is really expensive right now

2009-06-11T11:42:00.002-04:00

I really want to add some gold to my portfolio. However I'm not sure if now is the right time to buy. The price of precious metals is pretty close to an all time high and it just keeps going higher. I've been researching companies online like Monaco to see what they're saying. They're offering certified coins for really great prices but I'm not totally ready to buy.

They specialize in rare coins which of course are more expensive. While I would feel confident that I'm getting a great coin at a great price, I'm don't have the money to shell out right now. It is nice to know that when I am ready to buy, that I've found a great company that stands behind what they sell.

I read a lot more blogs than I used to

2009-06-08T19:29:00.002-04:00

I used to only read about 3 or 4 blogs on a semi-regular basis. Now I read about 6 blogs almost every day. They all cover a different niche though. Some are personal finance blogs, one is a crazy rant blog and then there are the sports blogs. I read so many blogs that I don't have time to update my own blog.

I just think other peoples blogs are much more interesting than mine.

I'm going crazy at work

2009-05-27T15:54:00.000-04:00

It's so boring that it's not even funny. I have a ton of work to do but I'm still bored. It may be because I can't access the radio any more so all I have to listen to is my mp3 player which has had the same music on it since I started using it. I don't really have time to download more music because my computer is incredibly slow.

Maybe I'll get someone else to download the music for me. I can't keep zoning out at work.

Not a good way to start the day

2009-05-18T08:20:00.002-04:00

The first thing this morning I saw one of my worse enemies. It's a really long stupid story but needless to say, we pretty much hate each other. She had to work at a alternate location for work so she caught the bus instead of paying for parking. She couldn't wait to get off of the bus and tell everyone she had run into me. She was talking smack before she even got to her stop. I just ignored her though. It was definitely too early in the morning and not a great way to start the week.

That sharp sword cuts both ways though.

I may not get to a baseball game this year

2009-04-29T21:40:00.002-04:00

I really want to go to a Cleveland game but I don't have anyone to go with. I don't want to take that drive by myself so I may not be able to go. The only team the Pirates play that I want to see is the Phillies. They don't come to Pittsburgh until late August. The week of my birthday actually. I hope I'm at on a mini vacation at least during that time.

Hopefully I'll be able to work something out.

School is almost done

2009-04-16T08:24:00.003-04:00

Yeah I am so happy I could do a dance. I have 1 more class and then my final exam. I'm not doing too well in this class (I probably have a mid to low C) so I want to take my time and make sure I'm well versed on the material. The last exam I had, I wasn't as prepared as I could have been. I knew this class would be hard and I only wanted a C but I'm really too close to the cut-off point for comfort.

I just have to keep telling myself that it's almost over.

Surfing my day away

2009-04-02T15:32:00.002-04:00

I haven't really been busy at work all day. I do have work to do but I have to wait for other people to get done with their parts first since they're group projects. All I've been doing is surfing the internet.

I've found some great stuff too. I wasn't really looking for anything but I did find a great pair of earrings at holsted. It's a website that sells a lot of cutting edge jewelry that's not sold in stores. That's pretty important because it means that every piece and every look is unique. It also means that I won't walk around looking like everybody else.

Now I just have to decide which piece to buy.

Opening day

2009-04-01T22:08:00.001-04:00

Opening day for baseball season is April 6. That's on Monday. Yeah I can't wait. I'll make sure to get all of my shopping and errands done this weekend. I'll also do my homework in advance so I can take full advantage of the first days of the season.

Ahhh, summer is almost here!

I am loving the WBC

2009-03-20T12:30:00.000-04:00

The World Baseball Classic. The US plays Japan on Sunday. That's going to be a tough game especially since the Japanese team is the defending champs. I think we already lost one game in this round so if we lose this game, we'll be out.

I hope to have the majority of my school-work done so I can watch the game.

I need to download some music

2009-03-13T21:27:00.002-04:00

I don't know if I want to go to the I-Tunes or Rhapsody music site. I need music for my new mp-3 player. I have a bunch of old music that I've always had. I also have music that I can burn from my personal cd collection. I still need some new music.

Instead of focusing on price, I need to see who has the better selection of music that I like.

I don't think I'm moving anytime soon

2009-03-06T15:28:00.002-05:00

I really do want to move too. But before I can go anywhere I have to make sure I have enough money. I don't have a lot of cash available. Maybe I can go to Monex and sell some of my gold coins back to them. Well not back to them because the coins were a gift.

But Monex does buy and sell gold bullion and coins. They will also help you find a depository to house the hard assets for you if need them too. It's really a win-win situation to invest with them. Especially since the stock market is in the tank and gold is going higher every day.

TGIF

2009-03-06T15:26:00.001-05:00

I am so glad it's Friday. I really need to go home and go to sleep. I've been falling asleep all day. I was so bored during our weekly staff meeting but my boss was looking at me because I got a "thanks for a good job" type of award.

I can't wait to go home and take a nap.

Crazy day in sports

2009-03-05T23:36:00.002-05:00

TO got dropped by the Cowboys and A-Rod is out indefinitely! I can't believe this. The TO thing is not that bad because it's a couple of months before football starts again. But A-Rod, man that's just bad.

I hope he's not out for a long time. With the AL East coming up in the past couple of years the Yankees can't afford to have him out for any significant amount of time.

She's a lucky lady

2009-03-05T15:39:00.002-05:00

I always people watch when we go to lunch. I saw this woman today at the restaurant with her husband. She was holding a bouquet of flowers that was so pretty. I don't know if they were wedding flowers or not but they were beautiful. If he ordered them from fiftyflowers, they ship bulk premium flowers to restaurants, events, hotels, personal flower arrangements, and any occasion that calls for flower arrangements. Her husband could have easily ordered at the restaurant for her.

I wish I had someone to give me flowers right now. And candy too. Heck while I'm wishing and hoping, he can give me a nice car. Hey I'm dreaming so I might as well dream big!

Scheduling blog time

2009-03-04T22:43:00.002-05:00

I know I don't, how about you? I try to post once a week but sometimes that stretches into every 10 days. Other times I'll post something 5 times in one week. There really is no rhyme or reason as to why I do this. It really just depends on how busy I am.

How often do you post?

Get with the beauty program

2009-03-03T22:19:00.003-05:00

Beauty is only skin deep right? If that's true, why are so many people focused on outer beauty? It's probably because we are visual creatures. We don't want to give up those beauty rituals either. Not even when we're pregnant. I should say especially when we're pregnant.

Most women don't feel beautiful during parts of their pregnancy and they do everything they can to try to get that feeling back. So what can you do to feel like your old self? You can try Beaute de Maman products. Beaute de Maman is a unique line of health and beauty products developed by a board-certified obstetrician to treat problems specifically related to the physiological and hormonal changes experienced by women during pregnancy. The products are safe for both moms and the unborn fetus.

You haven't heard of these products? What if I told you that celebrity moms to be like Penelope Ann Miller and Salli Richardson-Whitfield have made reference to using these products. Are you ready to order now? You should be, they're great producs that you can use before, during and after pregnancy. No more switching products looking for just the right thing.

Get on the ball and try them out today. Start feeling beautiful again.

C'mon baseball!

2009-03-02T10:07:00.000-05:00

I love baseball. Not as much as football but almost. Right now the players are in spring training and it's almost time for the regular season. But before that we have the World Baseball Classic. I probably won't watch a lot of that because of school but I will try to catch a few games. Especially if the Cuban team is playing. I watched them last year and they were pretty good.

Ahhh, spring is almost here!

When does baseball season start?

2009-02-22T19:49:00.003-05:00

I am super busy with school but I still need some kind of distraction. Football season is over and it's still not baseball season yet. I don't watch hockey or any of the other sports that are on right now. I know the World Baseball Classic starts soon and I can't wait.

After that it's only a couple of weeks before the real season starts. And man I can't wait!

I can't watch the Pro Bowl

2009-02-09T09:59:00.003-05:00

I just can't. I tried to watch it yesterday and it was so boring that I turned it off. I think after all of the excitement of the Super Bowl, the Pro-Bowl might be a let down. Maybe that's why they want to move it to the week before the Super Bowl.

Considering the Super Bowl contenders won't play in the game, I think it will be even less interesting. Hey we can't get people to watch, so why not leave the best players totally off the field. Can you sense my sarcasm?

What a game!

2009-02-02T22:36:00.002-05:00

I thought the game was excellent. I honestly didn't expect it to be as close as it was. I didn't expect a blowout but I didn't expect it to come down to the final 2 minutes either. I stayed up half the night watching all of the commentary on the game and player interviews. It was great. I was so tired today that I had to come home and take a nap. I stayed up half the night watching all of the commentary on the game and player interviews. It was great.

Now I have to wait for baseball season to start!

I can't wait for Sunday

2009-01-26T21:28:00.001-05:00

Woohoo I can't wait to see the Steelers whoop up on the Cardinals. I know they're the NFC champs but I don't think they were the best team in the conference. It just goes to show that you only need to get hot at the right time. Unfortunately for them, they Steelers are even hotter!

Go Steelers!!!!!!!!!

I did lose some weight

2009-01-21T12:46:00.000-05:00

I've been fighting this battle of the bulge for a while. I'm getting serious with trying to lose weight this year. I don't have a number goal in mind though. My goal is determined by how my clothes fit.

I've been looking online for dietary aids and I've found some at a medical supply company. They have dietary supplements (which I'm not taking - yet), exercise equipment and even stuff I don't need like syringes and Pediasure. It's good to know that if I need to buy something that I've found somewhere to get it.

Losing weight is hard and I need every advantage that I can get.

Superbowl bound again

2009-01-18T23:10:00.002-05:00

Wow what a great set of games today. I can't wait to read what the losing teams said. I know Ray Lewis is gonna go off and act a fool. I wish I could actually go to the Super Bowl game, especially since it's in Tampa. I know it's at least 70 degrees there where it's only 10 here.

Maybe next time.

I love the new song by Rihanna

2009-01-14T22:30:00.003-05:00

In general, I don't listen to Rihanna but I love her new song. It's called Rehab and it's a really nice song. She's in love with this guy but it's so painful to her. She says being that much in love is like a disease. She needs to look into rehabilitation centers like Promises. I've never been to one of them but I've seen them on television and man are they nice. They're really upscale places.

I think a lot of people have a misconception about what rehab is. They think of this skeevy place with a bunch of questionable people. This place is nowhere near that. Even though most of the people need help, it's not like it's a bottom of the barrel type of place. It's a large, spacious, well-run business. They have a good size staff to patient ratio to make sure everyone is comfortable with their services and that they get the help that they need.

Most people shy away from places like this but I think it's a brave move to make. To admit that you need help and go somewhere to get that help takes courage. If you need that help, why don't you take the first step and look into the center. It could be the first step towards making positive changes in your life.

I need to move somewhere warm

2009-01-08T22:22:00.002-05:00

It's barely winter and I already hate it. It is so cold outside. It's been raining with freezing rain and snowing for the past few days. It's not sticking but the ground is slick, making you slide on the ice. I already almost fell the other day and twisted my knee.

I really don't want to deal with this few the next few months.
