Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork
Are you one of the many people who want a little relief from the aches and pains of everyday life but cant seem to get relief from over the counter medications. You may be looking in the wrong isle or possibly even in the wrong place. As the world gets bigger and expands so goes the world of Medicine. Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork is the new in for the ERA of medical exploration. Therapeutic Massage is a way to allow your body to help itself over time. It requires no over the counter medications that can leave you drowsy in the morning, or upset stomach at night before bed. Instead it is an alternative way of medicine used to help your body heal naturally. Many insurance carriers such as BC/BS distinguish this type of rehabilitative medicine as useful and pay 50% of the cost but you need to check with your insurance to see if it is covered. It can help relieve muscle aches and pains, neck, back and other parts of your body. It appears to be growing and expanding as it becomes more readily recognized by society as a better way to heal your body from the inside out. I believe in this type of body work as I am a returning patron of one Therapeutic Massage Practitioner here in Connecticut. Whether you live 10 miles or 50 miles away it is definitely worth the trip or two to check out the work he does. Please understand as with all medical practices, the work that is done is not 100% guaranteed to correct or fix all problems of the body. It's main purpose is to provide you with a safer way of helping you to relax your body so that it can heal itself.
Civil War ReEnactment
If you ever wonder what its like to be part of the Wild Wild West you don't need to travel far. Most re-enactment events happen in the mid to late summer into the fall season. Here in Connecticut you can witness history relived for a few dollars on the penny. Enjoy the ambiance of the days past come to life. The history tellers on site and the re-enactors make the event fun for all ages. Woodbury Connecticut held a historical re-enactment of the Civil War the weekend of August 15, 2009. There were many things to see along with Militia riding into battle, you could see the smoke from the cannons and the guns as they fired on the enemy. Alongside the infantry were the riders who accompanied the generals. You could get your photo taken on a tin type of material. Very authentic for the period. One could even walk up to the Wheel driven carriages to see them first hand, not to mention the ability to walk around the encampments to visit the soldiers.

working mom
I know alot of people have a hard time to make ends meet these days. It becomes harder as time goes by. If you need extra income you can try what I have done. I am self employed as an independent contractor working for merchandising companies throughout the us. They pay you a reasonable pay for your time and some even pay for your mileage to go to their accounts. Then you have mystery shopping. Alot of websites tell you this is a bogus business but its not. I have been doing this line of work for almost 2 years and I have made money doing it. You may not make millions but every little bit helps. The more companies you get to work with the more credible you look to others. Most companies will ask for personal information which you should expect if you apply to a 9-5 job so this should be no surprise. If you are looking for extra income this is the business to go into. Its fun, its always different and you get to meet new people all the time.

Neiman-Marcus $250.00 cookie recipe for the taking

Let's let them have it! THIS IS A TRUE STORY!
My daughter and I had just finished a salad at a Neiman-Marcus
Cafe In Dallas and we decided to have a small dessert. Because both of
us are such cookie lovers, we decided to try the 'Neiman-Marcus cookie.'
It was So excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe, and
the waitress said with a small frown, 'I'm afraid not, but you can buy
The Recipe.' Well, I asked how much, and
she responded, ' Only two fifty - it's a Great deal!' I agreed
to that, and told her to just add it to my Tab.
Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement, and the
Neiman-Marcus Charge was $285.00!
I looked again, and I remembered I had only spent $9.95 for two
salads and about $20.00 for a scarf.
As I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said,
'Cookie Recipe-$250.00.' That was outrageous! I called Neiman's
Accounting Department and told them the waitress said it was
'two-fifty', which clearly does not mean 'two hundred and fifty dollars'
by any reasonable interpretation of the phrase.
Neiman-Marcus refused to budge. They would not refund my money
because, according to them, 'What the waitress told you is not our
problem. You have already seen the Recipe. We absolutely will not refund
your money at this point.'
I explained to the Accounting Department lady the criminal
statutes which govern fraud in the State of Texas . I threatened to
report them to the Better Business Bureau and the Texas Attorney
General's office for engaging in fraud.. I was basically told, 'Do what
you want. Don't bother thinking of how you can get even, and don't
bother trying to get any of your money back.' I just said, Okay, you
folks got my $250, and now I'm going to have $250 worth of fun. I told
her that I was going to see to it that every Cookie Lover in the United
States with an e-mail account has a $250 cookie recipe from
Neiman-Marcus...for free. She replied, 'I wish you wouldn't do this.' I
said, 'Well, perhaps you should have thought of that before you ripped
me off and slammed down the phone.
So here it is!
Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can possibly
think of.
I paid $250 for this, and I don't want Neiman-Marcus to EVER
make
another penny off of this recipe!

flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda . Add chocolate
chips,
hershey bar, and nuts. Roll into balls, and place two inches

PLEASE READ THE RECIPE AND SEND IT TO EVERY
PERSON YOU KNOW WHO HAS AN E-MAIL ADDRESS!
THIS IS REALLY TERRIFIC!!

to
them and ask them to pass it on. Let's make sure we get this
ladies $250.00 worth. Enjoy the cookies, they really are good.

a mothers love for ariel all grown up

Although you have read my blog about my daughter and her incident I did not get to express my feelings about the situation. Those who were around my daughter repeatedly asked her if they could call her mom, (ME).To my hearbroken surprise she told them NO. She did not want to bother or disturb me. When walking into the hotel there were lifeguards, paramedics, the fire rescue personnel, my daughters best friend Stephanie and her boyfriend dave along with daves mother. the feeling of being alone is so overwhelming there are no words that can be placed on the sorrow I felt. Here I was the mother of this sick child and I was the last person who was called to the scene. For this I feel failure in teaching my children important contact information through the years. For this I feel I am not a good mother. But most of all for this I feel that she does not trust my judgment and does not want me to be there when she is sick or hurting,. Now I am the one hurting inside. NO medic, rescue team or friend can mend a mothers broken heart. The person who can mend it is the only person who broke it. We parents do so much for our families and in their lives. We rarely ask for anything in return. But to be disregarded, disrespected and notified last about your childs immediate medical care, well; the care of our childrens health makes being a mom obsolete. The one thing all moms know that we can fix with a smile, a bandage or a soft rock back and forth are no longer options for healing the wounds of our children, It sometimes seems we try to hold onto our children longer by letting them know how much we do love and care about them. I guess my days of being a mom are gone. I am sorry to see them go. They were some of the best years of my life and I will cherish them forever.
Thanks for the Memories.

I wanted to shout out a word of praise for this magnificent place. Tonight I had the privilege of seeing first hand what care and concern a water park has for its customers. Tonight my daughter was whisked away from her fun and activities because she started to have difficulties breathing. The quick wit of the staff members such as Dave Davidson, Michael Robinson and Matt the night supervisor prevented what could have been a mothers worse nightmare.
I received the call around 8:30 that my daughter had been unable to breath and she was being attended to by paramedics on the scene. She had been playing DDR a popular game with upbeat songs that teenagers and many people alike enjoy at outings. I was told she and the others were finishing up their game when her breathing became shallow and unsteady. This is when the quick skill of the staff came to the rescue. These men worked diligently to get my daughter to safety and remained calm when a medical emergency arose during her visit to the water park. They carefully assessed the situation at hand and made her comfortable outside of the activity area to help control her breathing.
Dave Davidson, the two other life guards and the manager on duty Matt determined that she was in need of additional medical assistance outside of what they could provide. At this point they called 911 for assistance. I was met at the door by Daves concerned mother and her best friend Stephanie Braker. All people who were involved became concerned for my daughters safety and kept close to her at all times.
I personally would like to thank the Waterbury Fire and rescue department along with the ambulance service who came to the water park to aide in my daughters health . I am happy to know that we have men and women who respond so quickly to a situation. As a mother I could never express the sincere gratitude to everyone.
thanks so much

ps,,,,,,
{ariel won the ddr competition in case you were wondering.} This will definitely not be her last visit to this water park she plans on going again soon and enjoying the water park with her friends. Ariel stated, "I would come back and do it all again because I know if it happened again I would have plenty of staff members around to help me, but I think I will stay away from ddr for awhile."
A special thanks of gratitude to those men/women at the water park who stayed later to fill out all of the necessary paperwork. You are all top rate employees and I hope your employer knows how valuable each and every one of you are to the overall performance of the water park and hotel.

what not to expect for computer repairs
Today I went to pick up my daughters computer and was shocked when I got home. The computer screen was a lower resolution than her original one. The cost of the repair was almost as much as the price of the computer itself. Labor charges were as much as the screen replacement. What happened to being fair and honest to the customer? What happened to good business practices? Apparently what everyone wants in an experienced Computer Rearing world is not what we get. Be careful when you purchase service plans or buyer plans from top name companies. They talk fast, ring you up fast and before you know it you are spending as much for the service plan as you did for the computer. But beware if you don't look carefully at your service plan you may be in for a rather horrific shock when something breaks down and you need to have it repaired. Be sure you find out specifically what the plan covers and make the associate walk you through the plan before you sign on the dotted line. Not all plans are as appealing as the associate makes them out to be.
What you can expect is to be disgruntled. You can expect a line to form because they only have one squad person waiting on customers at any given time. You can also expect less than perfect service because you are simply a price tag.
