I find it interesting to see websites from other countries and I thank the Internet for providing us an insight to what is going on all across the globe. You never know where you are going to land when you start clicking online. Translating can be issue at times, but looking at sites from the U.K. and Australia are the best.
People in the U.K get hurt just as much as we do here in the states and they companies to assist them with their Compensation claims in order to get their just dues. If you get hurt, due to no fault of your own some one has to pay the bills no matter where you live, right?
I’ve been having a little bit of back pain lately and have decided to try one of those Wellpatch pain patches for a backache. Boy that patch sure was cold going on my back! After a short while, though, I could feel the chemical burn on my skin. I’m a skeptic about things like that working, but it does seem to be helping a little bit. Maybe it’s the placebo effect; I don’t know. But I think the next time I have a back ache I’ll give it another try!
My friend Candy and her hubby moved to Arizona about seven years ago. They moved to Arizona because they thought that the climate would be better for her hubby’s health. We keep in touch by email, which is nice. She was telling me that she was going to have some body sculpting done at a local sono bello center to have a Velashape procedure done to remove the cellulite on her thighs. She’s been self-concious about her legs for years! I hope she is happy with the results!
We’ve had a lot of wet weather the past couple of days due to the hurricane. I kept hearing on the television news about a lot of the lowlands and roads flooding. I had to go out a few times to run some errands and totally expected a few of the roads that I use to be flooded out and that I’d have to take some serious detours to get to and from my destinations. So I was quite pleasantly surprised that there didn’t seem to be any flooding at all! It is nice to see the sun come out again today, though. Rainy days make so many people cranky! As I get older I find that the low pressure systems tend to give me a sinus headache! So I’m always much happier when the skies are clear simply because I feel better physically!
We weren’t expecting many trick-or-treaters last night, but we didn’t get any at all. It rained almost all day and into the night, so I would imagine most parents took their kids out to the shopping malls to let them do their trick-or-treating under the safety of lights and under the dry roof.
I think that letting the kids trick-or-treat at the malls is a good idea. You don’t have to worry quite so much about the safety of the children running around in the dark streets, and the likelihood of getting some candy that was tampered with is slimmer.
I can remember in years past that local hospitals used to offer free x-ray screening of Halloween candy to make sure that there were no metal foreing objects in the candy! How sad is that? I haven’t heard of that being done in more recent years, though. Maybe they decided that bombarding candy with X-rays isn’t such a good idea!
