Using Google Map; My Experience

2009-09-14T22:38:00.000-07:00

When I have a hard time knowing where a place is I Google it. When I go to the map section it gives me where exactly the place is. I can even enter a company and it will give me all the addreses. I like it also because it will give you the time and distance it would take from one place to another. It will tell you how long it will take you to get there by car or foot and the best route to take. The best thing about it is that it gives you a satellite picture of the house or buisness, which gives an idea of how it is like. Google is one of my favorit search engines!

1. Be aware of scammers. The people that tell you that they will send you a check or cashier check; even telling you they will wire you money through agencies like Ebay.

2. Make shure the person is really interested in the product by letting them know in the posting by typing," Only serious buyers"

3. Make shure to meet them in a public place, so you will be safe.

4. Add a picture of your item, it will sell faster.

5. Try responding them promptly.

6. Try being creative with your title to capture their attention; like all caps or even using symbols.

CAN SOMEONE HELP THOSE WHO ARE LEFT WITH MEMORIES OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

2009-09-13T20:07:00.001-07:00

We all remember this dreadful day, every year on,"September 11 or September eleven" when the nation was in shock. The ones that are greatly affected are those that had family, friend and acuantnces. I know that they are left on how do I recover how do I do it to feel better. As time passes and they are left with that empty feeling they need to heal.

First of all, they need to heal if they havn't so. How is it done? Well, I believe the only way to do it is by telling others about it and how you feel. If you feel uncomfortable, sit in a quiet place where you know no one is hearing you and start telling Jesus Christ just exactly how you feel. I do this all the time it helps me understand that not everything is under my control, in fact nothing is. One day as I prayed I felt this ergency to cry I felt a calm come over me and understood that was God.

Second, they need to see how they can help others going through the same thing. Wouldn't the best thing a friend could do is be there with the people that are going trough the same thing as you. I remember just listening to my friend even if it was over the phone. Just the feeling that they are there for you feels as if at least someone cares. God wants us to moarn with others and that is a way to do it. In return you get the satisfaction that someone else is there for you, what goes around comes right back around, goes with doing good.

As a result in applying these principles you will truly feel as a citizen of the United States.

While browsing through the channels I came to a show calles " Dancing with the Stars " and found it pretty fascinating. I saw how they gave magnificant moves. I believe if people were to take the advice that the dancers give they would be in the best shape of their lives. Dancing in an up beat motion where you get your heart pumping will get those extra bounds off. I don't mean to do it forever, but it you kick up your routine with doing it for a week or two your body might respond with possitive outlooks. Dancing can take your stress out and you can include you family to join you, especially kids. Just make shure you have enough area for all of you. Dancing for spiritual purposes is great also because you can always dance for God and feel that you are doing it all for him; you won't even remember that you are doing it for personnal gain also. Dancing is a great tool to use to drop those pounds.

How To Be Stress Free

2008-02-20T22:06:00.000-08:00

Do your shoulders hurt are you tired of feeling like if you're carring 100 pounds on your shoulders? There are ways that you can minimize stress my meditating, accupuncture, and learning something new. If you apply these steps you will start living a less stress free life.

At the begining of a stressful situation you should pull yourself away from the situation and meditate. Leave to a sacred place of yours your room, the restroom, or even the car. Stay quiet and begin imagining beutiful thoughts like; your at the beach hearing the waves. Imagine these waves coming in and out, they sound so peaceful, just like your heart should be sounding. Calm. You should practice this once a day and it doesn't have to be the ocean, thinking about God and how great he is and that you are not alone is another great stress reliever.

This takes me to another way to relieve tension is accupuncture. Accupuncture has been used by many years by chinese practices and it is a very natural affective way to get the pain of stress out of your body. If you go to your local library you can find many books under this topic. One way is that there is a pressure point on both sides of your shoulder, you press it, you feel a little tension, and hold, but when you release it you will feel much better.

Another way to relive stress try learning new hobby. A hobby that interest you and won't seem boring after a while. A lot of people love to crochet or even begin a card collection. Whatever makes you feel better that at the end of the day you feel like you have completed something and you feel proud of your self. Sometimes we forget about our selves to please others.

Putting all thes examples into practice will bring you a stress free life. Go meditate, read on accupunture and use it, or begin your hobby. What ever it is just make shure it makes you happy and it is not adding to the stress.

How I met real LOVE

2008-02-20T15:37:00.000-08:00

I though Love was a fallacy, it would never show up and that the ones that found it were lying. I believe now that I was wrong. Love doesn't have to be sexual or anything of that. I found out the main love comes from God, the creator of heaven and earth, the one who would never stop loving you or me.

I found this out one day when I started reading the holy bible, at first I was skeptical, I thought people just wanted to get into something. That they were just finding excuses to be a good person. After reading for a couple of months I found myself wanting more and more of God, untill one day I heard a man on TV tell anyone watching to say a small prayer and tell him that I wanted to except Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

Turns out God gave his son to die for our sins so we wouldn't die and go to hell all we had to do is believe that he is Lord. In the Bible it states, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16

Check it out for yourself and read the Holy Bible and don't forget to pray.

What I went through giving Birth

2008-02-18T18:54:00.000-08:00

Having a child can be the most wonderful experience but can also be frightening. In my experience I was kind of worried, was it going to hurt? Was I capable to bring a child into this world? Well this was my experience.

I was 21 years old, going to college, many things were floating through my mind.What I did was read. I read books from th library, books given from other mothers, and also the internet. All these got me prepared to what to expect.

I talked to other mothers they told me their experience. Your own mother or mother in law have wonderful stories to tell, full with insite. My mom explained to me my bith and just listening to it made me appreciate my mother lots more. When you have a kid of your own you start realizing that mothers are more like a superhero they do marvolous acts where they are willing to give their life to their child.

The most important thing I did was pray. I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and that he is always with me and wants to help me out. God showed me to calm down because sometimes when you are in that sort of state you sometimes feel like no one is with you, supports you, or cares about you. The the reasuring words he spoke to his prophets to pass down to us through the holy bible can calm anyone. He said he would never leave or forsake us when we choose to look for him.

When Labor came in my mind I thought you feel it right away but no it comes like a train. You hear it you know its coming but you dont know when. My contractions hurt like if I was getting a cramp I would start getting a cramp every 30 minutes. Then the cramp started getting more intense every 15 minutes. They took me to the hospital but they told me I wasn't ready yet. I spent a whole night and all morning with contractions every 5 minutes. It hit hard cramp then came down like when someone is holding you tight then lets go. They got close to 3 minutes each they sent the ambulance and I was gone to the hospital.

At the Hospital, they started conecting me to all sorts of things that I didn't even know what they were. Finally a lady came in asking me if I wanted an apadural. She commented and said "After this you will feel like you can have 10 babies at once." I thought yeah right I was feeling like I wish I was in another body.

She was right, it hit 10 minutes later, I felt like nothing I was calm, I even had a small conversation with my mom, even though they had told me that I would go into labor in one hour. The doctor came in like not even 30 minutes after that and told me I was fully dialated, ready to go into labor. I was 10 cm. When my son was comming through I felt nothing they would just tell me to push and stop and push, but to me it felt like when they take out a tooth, nothing.

That was my storie if you have any post them up or comment on mine.

Who are you voting for?

2008-02-18T17:54:00.000-08:00

Voting can be a hard thing to do especially when the people who are running don't keep their promises. When one promises it is like signing a contract, you have to go through it or people wont trust you. Analize the person running and study them look into what they are proposing and go with what you believe in. Don't just go by what others are going or that you were brought up with,be aware of your suroundings, because you do make the difference. Go vote but informed.

lose weight in 2 months 20 pounds

2008-02-17T10:04:00.000-08:00

I was 5'2" weighed 150 and felt awful, there was something I had to do to drop these pounds. I realized I can't do it the unhealthy way because I might die just for a dream of being thinner. So I know that everything takes work, nothing is given in this life, I had to work for it. I took action by joining classes in college to start my dream.

One of my classes was a cardio class, which I took for a month, 5 times a week. During that class I did cardio for an hour long. It started with a ten minute warm up, walking. Then 20 minutes of running, 5 minutes walking. 2 minutes of each squates, jumping jacks, pushups, situps, arm rolls, tip toes, laying on the floor and raising my legs side to side. 5 minutes running, 2 minutes walking and lastly 3 minutes stretching main parts of body.

I added a eating plan of 5 to 6 meals a day. These meals would be 200 to 300 calories and tried to be eaten at the same time each day. I would eat it every 2 to 3 hours but not more than 4 hours. For example if I at 6 meals ever 2 hours start at 9am; second 11 am; 3rd 1pm: 4th 3pm; 5th 5pm; 6th 7pm. I ate that 6 times a week one day I would eat whatever whenever I wanted. Try eating healthy, once week eat something deliciouse to you, i would alway treat my self like a prize for my workouts a piece of cake or sunday.

That month i lost 10 pounds. Mybody looked thin, but I wanted more weight loss and shape to it. I then had another class for a month 5 days a week which was weight training. Women can lift weights and you don't get big. In fact, you start burning calories long after your work out. Cardio burns fat good but only last an hour after doing it. Adding a pound of muscle burns 60 calories a day even while you rest. I divided my week 2 days lower body 3 days upper body. The next week would be 2 day upper, 3 days lower.

After weight lifting for 30 minutes I would cardio for 1 hour 3 times a week. I also ate the eating plan I told you and after that month I lost another 20 pounds and my body looked fantastic I felt very good. I continued it and 6 monthes later I kept improving. I would say go to the library or search on the internet on how to lift weights properly, do the cardio, and eat like the plan i told you about and you will see results. I went from 150 to 130.

That month I lost 10 pounds

Listen up others will hear

2008-02-13T15:27:00.000-08:00

If people could listen more and talk less people could start makinf sense of things. From my
point of view people need to take action by applying simple steps when listening to another person; there are certian body movements one can do to make the receiver feel like they are being listened to. Feedback is required and then ones sense can come into play. The receiver would then feel more apriciated if these things are done.
First when one is listening to another person they need to send out body signals that they are listening. One might be that they see them eye to eye, this helps the person know that other things seem more interesting. Nodding the head is another good gesture because this means that the information is approved, but it should be done when it is appropriate like if the person talking is asking a question. There are many body movement one can do but ultimatly just face the person.
Then feedback is required also so that the one that is communicating wont feel abandond. A feed back could be that you kind of give a summary of what the person was trying to tell you. It doesn't have to be long, just by even mentioning that you agree by a certain topic they brought up this helps a whole lot. You can even question on something they said and this also would be known as a feed back.
Next this brings me to the point that you can start really talking. After you stayed there patiently nodding your head asking questions, you can tell them what you really feel is your opinion. Agreeing or disagree as long as you let them express themselves after all its not who wins by what they say, you might end up with a different type of feeling.

love

2008-01-17T10:14:00.000-08:00

Everyone needs to be loved and the only way to receive it is through Jesus Christ. Get a Holy bible and start reading a sentence a day. You will start to see where true love is from. Talk to God and He will make all things right.
