Kim Kardashian and Quick Trim

I saw Kim Kardashian on TV the other night, and she mentioned Quick Trim in a way that I think she must be using it. Maybe even endorsing it. I couldn't tell. I think it was on the Joy Behar show. Joy said something, and Kim yelled out quick trim! If she takes and looks that good, that is enough of an endorsement for me! I need a lot of help in losing weight and getting in shape right now.

Help--I Need To Lose Weight Fast!

I know I have said this before on this blog, but this time I must act. I can no longer tolerate my image in the mirror. Really! I wish I could get some fast weight loss tips. I tried a four-day diet about a month ago, and it seemed to work, at least a little, but I put the weight back on when I went on vacation the following week. I am going to the grocery this weekend and buy the items so I can do the four-day diet again next week. Wish me luck!

Don't Like Signs Of Aging

I hate to admit it, but I am getting older. What I hate even more than the older number are the signs of getting older. I have been pretty lucky so far--I look younger than I am. I don't know how long this will last (hopefully forever). I notice age spots on some of my older friends' hands and hope I don't get them. I know there is such a thing as age spot removal, but I just don't want to have to deal with it anytime soon.

Adult Acne--What To Do About It?

A friend of mine is absolutely beautiful: tall, thin, and blond--you get the picture. I would hate her if I wasn't crazy about her as a friend. But she says she has acne, even though for the life of me I can't see it. She must cover it up well with makeup. She has been asking around about adult acne treatments,and I have to say I don't know anything about, because I don't have acne now. She goes to the dermatologist, but so far nothing has worked. I am sure she will have some kind of treatment.

Time To Review Insurance

I need to spend a little time soon going over my financial life, what there is to speak of, and getting things in order. I need to review my car insurance, life insurance, homeowners insurance, and see if I can get better rates. I need to lower my expenses, and I might be able to do that through lower insurance rates. I also need to look into disability insurance. Can't believe it is not offered at my workplace.

Where Does All This Anger Come From?

Three more episodes of going postal again this week. The shooting of two teachers at a school in Knoxville, where a friend of mine works, the Huntsville shooting, and now the plane crashing into the building in Austin. Not to mention that the pilot set his house on fire to kill his wife and daughter before doing his dirty deed. What is wrong with people?

The other thing to note is that none of these have been kids. We are now seeing these criminal acts being done by people in their 40s and 50s. What gives? Kids seem to become violent when they feel isolated or have been bullied over a period of years. Adults seem to attack when their jobs or financial security have been derailed, except for the Pittsburgh shooter, also in his 40s, who shot up a gym because he couldn't get a girlfriend. We as a nation need to get serious about what is causing all of this anger and how to get people to manage it better.

The economy is going to take a while to improve, the boomers continue to age and therefore may have a harder time finding jobs, and things are not necessarily going to be rosy like we thought they would be. But don't get violent and hurt other people because of it! With as many angry people like this walking around, and not giving a clue as to their deranged mental state, we can only hope we are not in the wrong place at the wrong time, when someone else goes off.

Tea Party Invades Nashville

Oh oh, the fringe group the Tea Party has invaded Opryland Hotel in Nashville. Sarah Palin is going to deliver the keynote speech in an hour or so. That will be fun to watch. It will be interesting to see what develops. Some people are saying that the Tea Party is an independent party. It is nothing like an independent party. It is just the Republican Party with extra fringe. If anything, it is just going to splinter the republican party even more. And they are saying that democrats will join? How delusional is that?
