Didn’t help the wrinkles, but….

Apparently, after going on a special eating regime, to help smooth her wrinkles, a full time mother found the perfect diet pill.

The regime included eating 10 Super Foods daily. When the regime concluded, her wrinkles were still there, however, she’d lost 10 pounds AND her facial acne was all but gone.

Consumer Price Watch.net tells about this cheap Phentermine diet plan.

The woman’s husband worked at a nutritional research laboratory, and together, they created a supplement including all ten “SuperFoods”, in highly concentrated extracts, plus 4 additional Antioxidants. Her husband is Dr. Perricone.

Did you know….

Did you know that the Hawaiian Islands were original called Sandwich Islands? These islands were originally discovered by Captain James Cook and he named them “Sandwich Islands”, after his sponsor, the 4th Earl of Sandwich.

I owe credit to 2 sources. One, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, (which I’m not) and The Sandwich Islands, a website devoted to all that is great about the Hawaiian Islands.

Aloha Friday ~ TGIF!!

Aloha Friday!

Aloha Friday is a laid back, just for fun, meme created by Kailani at An Island Life. She says, “In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend.”

All we do is post an easy question and answer it. Then we have fun going around answering each others.

OK..my question - If you had to pick…are you checkers or chess? Me, I’m definitely checkers. :)

Now it’s your turn…Check out Kailani’s and others

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

MARK ANDREW OLSEN whose novel The Assignment was a Christy Award finalist, also collaborated on bestsellers Hadassah (now the major motion picture: One Night With the King), The Hadassah Covenant, and Rescued. His last novel was the supernatural thriller The Watchers.

The son of missionaries to France, Mark is a Professional Writing graduate of Baylor University. He and his wife, Connie, live in Colorado Springs with their three children.

ABOUT THE BOOK

A failed recon mission deep in the tunnels of Afghanistan has provoked a demonic onslaught that had been brewing for centuries. The mission’s sole survivor is reformed black ops assassin Dylan Hatfield, and he once again teams up with Abby Sherman, now at the helm of the Watchers, an ancient spiritual force. Uncovering and preventing a secret wave of death whispered across cyberspace and threatening to be unleash against civilization will require another level of spiritual power and expertise–the Warriors.

Journeying across the Alps of Europe through the multilayered history of warfare in the unseen world, Dylan and Abby uncover an age-old stone engraving that rouses the church’s Warriors to action, placing them dead center in one of the fiercest spiritual battles of their time!

And once again they are reminded: This is all part of a vast and perpetual war, a war beyond all human conflicts, one that has engulfed heaven and earth since before the dawn of history….

Abby Sherman is headed back to Israel, where a Watcher, the Sentinel of Jerusalem, lies dying. In her last breaths the old woman tells Abby of an ancient document prophesying humanity’s full-scale entry into the ongoing conflict between armies of heaven and fallen angels.

Dylan Hatfield has decided to answer a summons from his old boss and join a secret operation, its mission to reconnoiter the Afghani tunnel complex from which Osama bin Laden escaped in 2001. What he discovers sears his very soul and likely will end his life.

Abby learns of the peril facing Dylan, and she sends out a call for intercession on his behalf. Her frantic email message sets in motion a series of harrowing events, propelling the two on a new mission and quest–one where the stakes are the lives of millions!

The Warriors is packed with high-octane action, featuring exotic international locales, with characters in a clash against spiritual “principalities and powers” with eternal consequences, The Warriors is a story that will enthrall, enlighten, and engage its readers.

Heads or Tails

Heads or Tails

Skittles’, from Heads or Tales, provides a fun weekly meme. Today Skittles has prompted us with the word Mother.

Ya know, my mom and I were never really close, at least not until shortly before she died. She was a wonderful women, but our relationship always seemed so business like.

On the other hand, I think I’m a very good mom, (far from perfect), but my daughter and I are very close. To me, she has always been my priority. It’s interesting that I am so different than my own mother.

I’ve heard it said that bad habits are passed down from generation to generation, but lately, I’ve seen many occasions where it’s just the opposite. It’s wonderful when the bad cycle is broken. :)

What about you? Have you seen the cycle broken, either in your life or someone close to you?

This one’s for you Kel

Ok, this is definitely not a normal post for me. heehee It’s much better suited for my daughter. :)

As a matter of fact, I had no idea what beer pong even was, until about a year ago.

My daughter mentioned that they played this at a party one night, and when I asked what it was, I think she was sorry she’d mentioned it.

Well, believe it or not, they even make tables especially for beer pong. I thought “what’s up with that? Why a special table?”

After a little research, I found out. It’s a table that has slip free rack areas for your beer, AND it’s made of strong lamanent, to protect it, which just so happens to be perfect for bouncing :)

Who’d a thunk?!

Gotta have the best…..

You might have guessed by now that Bob lovessssss electronics. :) A good stereo system is a must, followed by a state of the art TV.

I must admit, he did a great job with our latest set-up. We have speakers hanging in just the right places, proper components to produced great sound and of course, a killer TV on a tv wall mount.

Although, I’m not really into TV, I do enjoy watching a good movie on this nice set-up we have. I gave up trying to encourage him to save money a long time ago. *lol*

Taking care of your body

PricesExposed.net has taken the question out of finding the best diet pills.

Personally, I’m not convinced any of them really work. It’s about watching your food intake and exercise. It’s not easy. Believe me, I know. :)

However, maybe they can help when used properly in conjunction with a doctors cares. There are a lot of new systems available and hopefully your doctor can help.

It’s very important to know what you’re putting into your body, so do your research. PricesExposed.net promises to help. You may want to check them out; if this is something you’re interested in.
