When I do, I'll do my best to make the outdoor areas around the house the most comfortable and fun. Outdoor areas can become a real extension of the inside, and when you live somewhere where there's a great view, that's even better. For <a href="http://www.backyardplayground.net/playsets/about/">for swing sets in virginia beach</a> which is one of the areas I would love to move, I'd pick something more rustic and classic, than if I moved to So California, another favorite spot. Each place would be different, and the type of outdoor setting would have to dictate what I choose, but it will be fun no matter where it ends up being, Virginia, Florida, California or even possibly Oregon.Tami Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18808123.post-63991717172869798532014-03-01T18:54:00.001-08:002014-03-01T18:54:40.234-08:00Strapping Up for MusicSometimes, as I am looking at all of the new technology and equipment available to musicians today I get a little jealous. My granddaughter is just starting out, but there are so many things that make life that much easier, even little things that make a huge difference. One of the things I picked up for her that I wish we'd had when I was her age are the <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/strap-locks">straplocks from musicians friend</a>. It may seem like such a simple little thing of little importance, but the guitar and maybe the sax are two instruments where this is really important. It isn't likely that a musician would drop a piano if they moved around a lot while playing, or that the drums would hit the floor when the drummer twisted about, but when playing the guitar, and to some lesser extent an instrument like the sax, if the strap lets go, it can be easy to drop a very valuable piece of equipment. At least with the sax the musician is usually holding with both hands, although a dropped sax could end up with a big sour note when the player grabbed it to keep it up. The guitar, however, is not being grasped, except for lightly in the right hand, and fumbling to grab it as it fell could easily end up loosing it and having it fall to the ground.Tami Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18808123.post-87418721278318556002014-03-01T18:43:00.001-08:002014-03-01T18:43:31.464-08:00I Can See Clearly NowWell, I always could, but in a few weeks, my hubby will be able to also.

If I build something, it probably won't stand for very long. However, there are always things we have to know just enough about so that when we are talking to a contractor or someone fixing a piece of machinery around the home or business, we understand what is being talked about. When an air-conditioner repairman or woman is talking about needing to replace the <a href="http://www.wegotpumps.com/Gusher_Pumps-list.aspx">gusher pump</a> will you know what they are saying? Maybe, maybe not. The great thing is that now, with the internet, all it takes is a few minutes of investigation and you can find out so that you know what is going on, and what you should be paying.Tami Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18808123.post-60323860752755860412014-02-17T15:46:00.000-08:002014-02-17T15:46:04.918-08:00Winter Not Too WonderlandSnow again. Yes, another weather report. I can't believe the winter we're having here in Illinois this year though. It has been nearly non-stop snow. We are on track to get about 6 inches again today. It's as if winter is determined to hang on right to the bitter end with no real relief. This week looked like it would be a bit of a repreive at first, with a forecasted warming trend culminating in a 50 degree day on Thursday. But here we are on Monday getting hit by a blizzard again, and that 50 degree forecast has been downgraded to maybe a 40 degree day. 40 is still nice, but by the time Thursday rolls around, how much is the bet that it will be a lot lower than even 40 degrees?Tami Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18808123.post-58453266942840809942014-01-28T19:44:00.001-08:002014-01-28T19:44:26.556-08:00Moving MusicAny musician that travels even a little needs an easy way to move equipment. It's pretty true for almost any hobby really. However, when I was younger, and playing in a band, being able to <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/rock-n-roller-multi-cart-8-in-1-micro-equipment-transporter-cart">save on rock and roller cart at musicians friend</a> would have come in so handy. I didn't have the Internet, or a store like that in the area back then, but my granddaughter who is just beginning her music career does. It's so much fun going online with her and seeing all of the great deals there are, getting her the things she needs to participate and enjoy her love of music.Tami Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18808123.post-13965032976459467022014-01-28T19:40:00.000-08:002014-01-28T19:40:10.218-08:00Major Snow<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We're REALLY getting slammed this year. This is just a sample of the many massive snow storms from this winter. It seems like every "snow" is a major snow. No dustings or minor blizzards this year so far.Tami Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18808123.post-25815392446212298742014-01-13T13:12:00.002-08:002014-01-13T13:12:45.293-08:00Strike up the BandWedding parties are only as good as the music. Live bands are great, but limited. To really get a good selection of music that everyone will enjoy and have it really sound like the songs we all love, a DJ playing the music is the best way to go. Searching for a good DJ isn't hard. It can all be done online. Since it isn't like buying an item that can be shipped from anywhere, however, you have to make sure you narrow your searches to a specific location. Use the area that the wedding will be in. Even if you live in Illinois, if the actual wedding will take place in your hometown of Charleston, NC, finding a DJ in Chicago isn't going to help much. You have to look for a <a href="http://bunndjcompany.com/djs/david-fox/">charleston wedding dj</a>.<br />
<br />
Make sure the DJ has the selection of music that best fits your style and has a personality that will also be in-tune with your own tastes. Preferences for style aren't the same for everyone.Tami Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18808123.post-1726976923733834902014-01-13T13:08:00.002-08:002014-01-13T13:08:41.417-08:00Oops, wrong wordsI don't think I've laughed so hard in a long time.

The ones in there now are dated and old. They are still in decent shape, however, and nothing is falling apart, so I should be happy with that. They don't even really need to be refinished, although it certainly would change the looks of them. What would make a really big difference is to add hardware to change the cover appearance of them. Since there have never been any, however, getting handles to stay in place on the doors is hard. The wood isn't holding screws. I've <a href="http://www.reidsupply.com/products/fasteners-hardware/thread-inserts-accessories">looked around for these</a> inserts before when needing to anchor heavier items to a wall, or for other uses. A small insert will help convert my old cabinet doors with no handles into something more updated and attractive without having to change the entire door.Tami Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18808123.post-46310502024176633412014-01-10T12:13:00.001-08:002014-01-10T12:13:35.341-08:00Burrrrrrrrrrr Baby It's Cold OutsideWeather report blogs are kind of cheating, but this one bears mentioning. Finally, after over a week, we're creeping out of the sub-zero weather and deadly wind-chills that have been round the clock regular here in Chicago this year. The cold sure did start early too. While not that deadly stuff, we got freezing weather and snow far earlier than I can remember since way back in my childhood. I suppose it could actually be considered normal, at least I remember that early cold and deep December snow from back then as normal. It hasn't been normal at all for the past couple of decades though, and I certainly can't remember -40 degree windchills in December or at all during the winter at all. I think the only state that escaped the most severe weather was Florida, especially in the SW. Boy do I want to move there. I was born down in Florida, and I need to get back to my roots. The coldest it got there was mid-50's on ONE day. All the rest were typical January Florida 70s and 80s. Gotta love that.Tami Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18808123.post-86876488000609376962013-12-03T15:18:00.001-08:002013-12-03T15:18:57.819-08:00Little Guitar PlayerAlexis is always excited to learn new ways to improve the sounds she can create on her guitar. The fun use of the <a href="http://www.music123.com/amplifiers-effects/jet-city-amplification-jhs-a-b-overdrive-pedal/j00203000000000">great jet city amplification jhs a/b overdrive pedal</a> is just one of the things I have talked to her about. I've found that not only does our shared love of music really give us a connection that I am hoping will make the transition to teen year communication strong, it also makes it a lot easier to figure out the best gifts for holidays and birthdays. Since my grandson hasn't quite developed a desire for an instrument yet (he's leaning toward the drums, and his mother is constantly shaking her head madly at me when I discuss possibilities with him, lol) it can still be quite a diffiuclt decision when it comes to getting him something he will love for a gift. Alexis is easy. I know exactly what to think about when considering gifts for the little guitar player in the family.Tami Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18808123.post-56270915171381449542013-12-03T13:33:00.002-08:002013-12-03T13:33:44.166-08:00Shark!Boy, can't even go fishing in peace.

It would be pretty cool to be able to accompany my granddaughter on her guitar by playing bass alongside her. I don't know if I'd feel funny taking lessons again at my age, and starting with bass would be such a new experience for me I would almost be learning from scratch. On the plus side, I cann still read music even though my guitar and piano days are long in the past. I'm not sure how much different reading for bass guitar is from reading for rhythm guitar or piano, however. It will be interesting, that's for sure. Maybe I can let hubby know that it is on my wish list for the holidays.Tami Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18808123.post-36648660948530097072013-11-26T15:29:00.003-08:002013-11-26T15:29:41.844-08:00Posting my Affirmation for TodayI attract money. I am going to live in Cape Coral, Florida in the home I want with the boat I want.<br />
<br />
The Law of Attraction is all about the feelings and attitudes you put out, and the expression of what desires you have that bring them to you. It's "The Power of Positive Thinking" in action.Tami Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18808123.post-53693113653807081352013-11-26T14:34:00.000-08:002013-11-26T14:34:09.365-08:00Cleaning Up for the SeasonWell, got a late start on cleaning up the boat for the season's shut down. Temps are really low already, which is pretty unusually. I had hoped to get a few more days out with the boat in November before putting it away for good. That just didn't happen this year though. So, she's all cleaned up and taking the long winter's nap now.<br />
<br />
One of the big issues I had this year was cleaning all of the carpet on the new bass boat. The cruiser we used to have only had carpet below deck and scrubbing down the cockpit above was just a matter of wash down. The bass boat is carpet from front to back. It's nice, looks pretty, and is probably more comfortable than if it were fiberglass or whatever, but considering the type of use it gets, it's a little bit of a pain as well. It mean getting some serious stains out even though I had tried to keep it cleaned up as it got used all summer long.<br />
<br />
This was the first time I ever had to use <a href="http://www.greenchemdirect.com/Stain-Removers-cat28.html">spot stain remover</a> to clean up carpets. It was worth it though. The carpets all look as good as new, and now ready for next spring when we get out again.Tami Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18808123.post-53016336872227839542013-11-16T14:51:00.002-08:002013-11-16T14:51:28.275-08:00High Tech Way to Create a Law of Attraction Vision BoardVision boards are a very popular and useful way to help manifest the vision you have for what you desire. When using the Law of Attraction to obtain a desire, the first step usually suggested is to create one. Usually a vision board consists of a bulletin board or some other form of backdrop like a large posterboard. I have come up with a fun, high-tech way to create a vision board that anyone can use if they own a computer --- and if you're reading this you probably do.<br />
<br />
Gather up the pictures you want to have represent the desire you have for the Universe to bring. If it is a specific house, or type of home, a car, a boat or other material thing, just get pictures off of the internet that represent either the exact example, or similar ones. You don't have to worry about copyright, these are not images you are going to use online.<br />
<br />
If your desire is an abstract concept like a stronger relationship, or finding love, just get pictures that show the type of feeling you are looking for. A couple holding hands while they walk on the beach, a couple getting married, etc.<br />
<br />
Download each picture to a file on your computer that will be easy to find. Have all of the pictures in that one single file. The next step is for PC users. I'm sure this is possible for Mac users as well, but I am not sure of the steps required. If you have a PC, just right click on your desktop. Select personalize from the drop down box that appears, and when the window opens, click on "desktop background" in the lower left hand area of the window.<br />
<br />
From the box that opens, select "browse" and look for the file that you placed your vision pictures in, and click on it. Then go down to the bottom and choose a rotation speed. I usually chose 30 seconds per image. You can choose any speed you feel will work best, but usually having the images rotate at least one full turn throughout the day so you see all of them is best. Avoid selecting a speed for each picture that will not let that happen, for instance every 6 hours per image or only change image once a day. The idea is to see each image often, so you want them to rotate continuously.<br />
<br />
Finally, click save and you are done. Now when you are at your computer, make sure all screens are minimized when you are not using them so you see your vision board rotating on your desktop.<br />
<br />
I started out using the standard stagnant vision board on a piece of posterboard. It was so limited though. I have a rotating vision board that consists of over 500 images of the specific things I want to have materialize, even though it is really only 2 items and 1 specific area in location. It is a number of shots of each of the three things that constantly give me a good picture to use in my visualizations.Tami Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18808123.post-75523597057724382482013-11-15T12:41:00.001-08:002013-11-30T09:36:27.065-08:00Amazing Home or Professional Medical Supplies at Great PricesMedical professionals need great places to find the top of the line care items at great prices.

As someone who regularly suffers from back pain that comes from an improper sleeping position, that cervical pillow is a fantastic deal. When doing any heavy lifting, my back is also always in danger. <a href="http://www.lgmedsupply.com/">LGMedSupply</a> also has an adjustable, heavy duty back brace. Another interesting product, offered for a great price, and even free with some purchases such as the back brace, is the TENS Unit. This is great for chiropractors, masseuses, and even for home or work use. It is a safe and dependable way to get rid of pain anywhere, and targets the areas specifically for relief that is as close to magic as you can get.Tami Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.com
