  • Skin Care – Week 1

    OK – the 1st week – the top photo was taken before I started with the products last Monday evening and I took the recent photo after this morning’s skin care “session.”

    One thing I am learning – it’s hard to take photos of yourself if you hold the camera in you hand : -) but the point is not a “great” picture but a look at me series….

    It may not be all that visible to you but I see the dark circles under my eyes as fading – especially under the right eye. The one under my left – and weaker eye- has always been darker.

    I tend to see my mouth wrinkles as smoothing out too – and that’s nice….

    Week 2 next week! The research on these products indicates a major change after 8 weeks – so we’ll keep looking and posting. And by next time I will have gotten the much needed hair cut : – )

  • Women and pay

    There is a new study out that tells us one year out of college – women earn 80 cents for every dollar men earn…

    Ok – so people see that and go – well 20 cents isn’t that bad

    What the headlines do not say is that 10 years out – the 80 cents becomes 69 cents!

    So women in the work force – if you have been working 10 years or more – you make 31 cents an hour less than your male counterpart – for equivalent jobs and responsibilities!

    These figures have been pretty bad as far back as I can remember. And as one who was denied jobs solely because I was a female – I decided that I would work for me – and have done so with a few scattered attempts at working for others….

  • Water based skin care

    I received my full supply of the preservative-free water-based skin care products the other day and decided to document my skin changes while using the products –

    Each week I will post a photo of me pre-products and then one for each week of use…let’s see how long it takes for noticeable changes to occur.

    I was hoping for overnight immediate return of a youthful 30 year old look – but alas – that did not happen :- )

  • Another Take on the "died without an heir" scam

    This writer at least knows that this is not legal....and a clue is that there are
    significant errors -  "in testate" [for example.]...

    If you ever get emails like this - and there is no end to the variation -
    delete them or post them for all to read..

    These are SCAMS.....no legitimate bank, lawyer or private investigator would
    need to send emails to unknown persons...I get these scams at email addresses
    to which no real name is attached...and they call me friend - dear one - etc.
    So how can they tell me my name is the same as the deceased?

    I also put the name Paul Lockett in google and found some sites that played games
    back with these scammers - the emails are hilarious - as the photos one guy
    got them to send him

    Good day,

    My name is Mr. Paul Lockett, I am a senior partner in the firm of
    Infinity Consultants "Private Investigators and Security Consultants".
    We are conducting a standard process investigation on behalf
    of "HSBC", the International Banking conglomerate.

    This investigation involves a client who shares the same surname with
    you and also the circumstances surrounding investments made by this
    client at "HSBC", the Private Banking arm of HSBC. The HSBC Private
    Banking client died in testate and nominated no successor in title
    over the investments made with the bank. I would respectfully request
    that you keep the contents of this mail private and respect the
    integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail.

    I contact you independently of our investigation and no one is
    informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with
    certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.

    You share similar details to the late fellow; I am prepared to place
    you in a position to instruct the firm to release the deposit to you
    as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am
    prepared to share the money with you, that is, I will simply nominate
    you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We
    share the proceeds 50/50. I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be
    released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my
    involvement in claiming the deposit. But on the other hand, you with
    the same very name as the depositor's would easily pass as the
    beneficiary with right to claim. I assure you that I could have the
    deposit released to you within few days.

    I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you
    find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I
    ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of
    no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you.
    Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal.
    You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums
    out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I
    am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good
    conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics
    of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only
    come ones in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for
    once, I have found myself in total control of my destiny. These
    chances won't pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if
    you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life
    but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to
    provide them with new opportunities.

    There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth
    undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here
    is from you refusing to work with me. I am the only one who knows of
    this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has
    planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Lets share the
    blessing. If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me
    through my email account below. If you give me positive signals, I
    will initiate this process towards a conclusion.

    I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the
    consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing
    gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of
    gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking
    clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we
    should plan a meeting, soon.

    Kind regards,

    Mr. Paul Lockett.

  • Medicare part D[umb] and the R’s

    At last we have a Congress willing to look at the give aways to the big pharmas in the Medicare part D legislation – but the Republicans think it’s just working fine…

    WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans appear determined to block legislation letting the government negotiate directly with drug companies for lower drug prices under Medicare, the latest obstacle for a proposal Democrats once trumpeted as a surefire money-saver.

    Sen. Mitch McConnell, the GOP leader, said Monday that many members of his rank and file believe the new Medicare prescription drug program is “working beautifully, with remarkable coverage,” and doesn’t need fixing

    I don’t know about you – but drug prices are so high that most I know on Medicare hit the donut hole and had to pay full price for a while – and at the same time they had to continue paying for the privilege on paying… and the R’s – who get great coverage in their plans – think this is working well. Sometimes I do wish that everyone in congress had to live on minimum wage and go without health insurance so they could see what it is like. They complain about the high cost of living in D.C. and surrounds. Well – 500,000 people live there and quite a few do not make the same salary as Congresspeople.
