Bye For Now

What do you most value in your friends?

Their continued existence.


So I met Mary Seibert, I think I fell in love with her.
It was like I knew her for many years, for a long time, as if she were an older sister a dear friend. She was type of person you can say anything to, no matter how bad, and they still love you because they know who you really are.
I’ll always love her. All my life.

Tell your friend that in his death, a part of you dies and goes with him. Wherever he goes, you also go. He will not be alone.

I just love you Mary Seibert. You gave me lots of love, your attencion and our dear Toby.

On Top Of The Ice

With the cold weather that has arrived, or is coming… many people are using products to melt snow and keep sidewalks and driveways free of falls on the ice.

If you think you need to buy this type of product, make sure you buy one safe for pets as well.

After all they walk around just like you.

Probably the highway department does not use what is safest for them, they use salt that can cause irritation and chemical burns on their feet, or if they lick them.

There is a wax that you can put on their paws before going out to walk, but be sure to clean them with warm water when you’re back home.

Of course you can use boots on your animals, but they must be the kind that will not cause blisters, like you wearing new shoes!

Or go slowly getting used to using, as my vet said.

You can also throw bird seeds on top of snow, so no one slips in front of your house.

And using the shovel, do it as soon the snow stops falling, before it turns into ice.

Do you know the signs that your pet is too cold?

They are: tremors, lethargy, slow breathing and muscle stiffness.

If so, heat it with a blanket, hot packs and a hair dryer until it returns to normal behavior.

And of course, bring them inside the house.

If the situation ‘seems’ a little more serious call your veterinarian.

Really Works

My bed is a set of paradoxes: I’m going there with reluctance and with great sadness I leave it.

Mentally, every night, I plan to get up early… but my body just wants to make me late.

I do not consider middle of the night a very attractive experience – unless I’m at a party.

Life goes on the next day despite a bad night’s sleep…

This is what I learned from scientists at Harvard Medical School and Researchers at the University of Arkansas: They need to sleep and should also like to sleep, I think …)

→ No coffee or drinks with caffeine after 2 pm.

→ No pets on the bed.

→ Leave office problems at work.

→ If you need a ‘siesta’ take a maximum of 10 to 40 min.

→ Do stretching before bed, at least 15 minutes (30 min is better)

→ Walking, swimming, cycling at least 30 min a day (but not too late).

→ Choose a mattress that’s just right: not too hard and not too soft. (flip and rotate your mattress every few months to avoid lumps and sags.)

→ The room should be cool.

→ A warm bath before going to bed.

→ Count your blessings and not sheep.

→ Awake in the night? Read something real boring and re-read if necessary.

→ Smell of lavender on your pillow or near it in a handkerchief.

→ Melatonin (or very pure cherry juice from the health food store).

→ Tai Chi (you can buy a DVD and do it at home).

→ Go to the couch.

→ Turn off the computer early to turn yourself off.

→ Use ear plugs and cover your eyes.

→ Check your meds. Some such as beta blockers, steroids and pain pills (opiods) can interfere with sleep.

→ Some supplements can cause sleep loss too: ginseng, for example is a stimulant.

→ Turn the clock around (it’s little light is your enemy).

→ A small snack of carbohydrate and protein helps.

→ Take a few minutes each day to mentally savor things, large or small, that you are thankful for.

What To Buy American


Seeing the segment – history “Made in America” on ABC News on tourists from other countries coming or not coming to America…

Showed Chinese super happy, because they have visas to come here and shop!
Isn’t it surprising that Chinese tourists will come here to buy American ‘treasures’ made right there in China?
We should be selling products made in America for these foreign visitors!
How very odd!
So I wanted you, Brazilians and non Brazilians know: everyone here (including the government) want the presence of each one, buying, spending and creating more jobs for Americans.
They said that the numbers are: “Brazilians spend on average more than $ 4,000 in purchases visiting the United States, but they have to wait about 190 days to get a visa!
Good news: this will improve. Shortly they will send 100 extra staff to Brazil, to decrease the waiting period.
You do not want to come here and buy things from China hum…?
On the map below, state by state, are the companies that sell products and what is made here in America made by Americans.
Not made in China and sold in the United States.
You can click on categories of acquisition or in the state (s) who will live or visit.
