Recently Chris and I have been discussing the fact that he really isn’t doing much with his life as of late and how he might be interested in starting up his own business. He has a bit of cash put back to invest in something that he might be able to make into a success, something he can be proud of himself for. He expressed an interest in internet related business and Internet Franchises. After doing a little digging I’ve found a couple of things off RedHotFranchises.Com that might actually be of interest to him and something that I feel he could be successful in. There are a ton of different opportunities just waiting for the right person to come along and see them through. Most of these franchises can be started with little money, and the businesses can be ran from your own home. That’s why I think it’s something he could really do and be a success at. Whatever he decides, I hope he does something soon because time is just passing him by.

If I haven’t mentioned it before, I absolutely LOVE ABC.Com. When the new season of all the shows I watch started I totally didn’t realize it and I missed the first few episodes. So tonight I decided to watch a missed episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. The episode I watched was about a family with 2 daughters who had SMA, a debilitating disease that keeps them confined to a wheelchair. Their home wasn’t suitable to live in because the girls couldn’t go anywhere or do anything due to the fact that the home was split-level and they can’t walk. Their mother had to carry them up and down stairs all the time. Anyway, that’s not even the part that really got my attention the most. It’s about CVS Pharmacy. In most episodes that I have watched in the past year or so, I’ve noticed that CVS is getting more involved. They paid off this family’s mortgage and medical expenses on this episode. They’ve done that alot for families in the past. I think it’s wonderful of them, and yes I am aware that it’s a tax write off, but who cares? Look what they do for so many people. I think it’s simply awesome. What they, and what Sears does for these families is just so great. Look how they change people’s lives? I’m a firm believer that money can’t buy happiness and it definitely isn’t the most important thing in the world, but it sure does help. You need money to have any kind of life, even if it’s just a little bit and so many of us especially with the economy being the way it is, worry about money on a daily basis. It’s so nice that there are companies like that that help make some of our lives just a little less worrisome.

As many of you know, I recently had to undergo surgery and had my abdomen opened up. Well, being diabetic and all, my doctor was concerned with the healing process and that I would have a hard time. Diabetics heal slower than regular people. Anyway, my doctor decided that it would be wise to start having a nurse come in on a weekly basis until everything was healed up and I was doing better. The home health agency that I chose also set me up with a company that would send my diabetic testing supplies and anything else I needed related to home medical care to my home. The stuff never came, though, and I still to this day am unable to check my blood sugar on a daily basis. I can attribute some of the company’s failure to get me the supplies to the fact that we had a major hurricane, and our city lost it’s power for a few weeks, but it’s been almost a month since then and still no supplies. Well, then my doctor told me that since I could benefit from getting some Diabetic Socks . I’d honestly never heard of them before, but he explained to me that they would help with circulation, keeping my feet warm and also prevent blisters and sores from forming. This is a big problem with diabetics and with my recent complaint of leg pain at night he thought this would be beneficial to me. He suggested I order them from the same place I’m getting my testing supplies, but when I informed him that they never came he told me to look around and find another company and he would sign off on it so they could start delivering. I found a few companies but most of them don’t offer the diabetic socks. DHP Home Delivery does, however, and they will also deliver for free. Now I just have to find out if my insurance will cover them or if they accept my insurance.
