Well my neighborhood Jack who I just recently spoke about being in the nursing profession, has certainly made use of the website of http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/ in which I turned him onto to the other week. Apparently he has spread the word all over with his friends and family concerning the issue of purchasing medical nursing uniforms for him as gifts for the up and coming 2011 Christmas holiday. It sounds like a great idea to me, these nursing uniforms are a necessity for anyone in the nursing profession or any medical profession these days. And now that there is a much wide variety of medical uniforms it is a big deal for them to be wearing these uniforms and looking good in them.

It’s so good to see that those old starched white uniforms from the past are dead and gone, it must have been a real drag wearing those darned sterile things day after day after day. Check out the cool holiday prints that they are currently offering there and they are having a sweepstakes going on right now as well. A good resource for our medical professionals.

I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about how the paper version of newspapers are obsolete, and that the newspapers are going to go out of business; being replaced by online news. I’d hate to think that were true; I like getting the paper newspaper. I like to take it with me to work, to read on my breaks. I like to take it in the car with me and read when I’m waiting for someone to meet me.

I use the newspaper a lot after the reading is over. I use it to wash my mirrors and windows. I use it to line the carpet to protect it from kitty litter when I’m cleaning the litter box. And, when I have puppies, I use it as an aide to house break them. If I had birds (I used to, but don’t now!) I’d use the newspapers to line their cages.

Veterinarians and animal rescue leagues need used newspapers to line their cages. Schools need newspapers to teach social studies and current events.

I hope that the paper version of the newspaper sticks around for a very long time to come!

It does my heart good to see and know that Jack who lives next door went back to school and became a nurse. Even though he got a late start in life in getting his education he did it and seems to be enjoying his new work. I see him leaving each morning wearing his new nursing scrubs, all nice and clean like and then each evening he comes in looking pretty ragged out, bless his heart. He is apparently working in a pediatric practice and you can just imagine how those kids must be a handful each day for him to be looking so rough.

There seems to be a great selection of these medical scrubs out there these days for folks in the medical field and that our neighbor has purchased numerous variations to wear each day. I found a great medical uniform site at http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Men/that I plan on turning him onto when I see him around his backyard over the weekend. At least he isn’t stuck wearing the same old long lab coat day in and day out like some medical personnel end up wearing. That would be a drag for some one like him that enjoys a variety in their work attire.

A friend of mine sent me a link to a video that shows how to extend the life of “dead” batteries!  I couldn’t believe it was possible – dead means dead, right?  So I went to the video and watched it – it looks like it really could work, although if used improperly could make the batteries leak, which could damage the flashlight (or whatever) they are being used to power.  I think I’ll give it a try myself on a cheap flashlight next time some batteries die! 

I have never been into the smoking of any tobacco product but I certainly know enough people that have held on to this nasty habit for many years. My grandfather always smoked a pipe and I have always enjoyed the smell of a good pipe in the air, but as far as cigarettes goes I have never enjoyed the smell of them indoors or outdoors. My best friend has been a smoker since Junior High and has tried to kick the habit so many times that I have lost count at this point.

I am happy to say that he has now found a new product called the Electronic Cigarette that he is trying out lately. He says that by him using this Electronic Cigarette that he has cut back on the regular cigarettes and hopes to soon cut them out totally by using this Electronic Cigarette that many people are turning to with huge success.

It would be nice see him really put down those coffin nails once and for all. I worry about his health, big time. We have all lost loved ones from lung cancer and I couldn’t bare losing him from this horrible disease.
