Teaching Fire Prevention Is Worth More Than A Pound Of Cure

admin — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 14:30:16 +0000

Teaching fire prevention is a very good idea, because,as they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It is very simple to teach children that lighters and matches are not toys to be played with. They can be made to understand that playing with items such as these will only result in harm to themselves or start a house fire. Older children need to understand that the lighter fluid that a parent uses to start the barbeque is only to be used by parents. It may look like a lot of fun, but if you do not know what you are doing, it can cause major harm and damage.

The economy

I am completely appalled by the recession. It is a pure example of greed. The elite upper class has finally hoarded enough money to finance anything they want, while they sit back and watch the world suffer. I have seen the scam with my very own eyes. United States citizens are so uneducated and ignorant, they are blind to the situation. It is obvious to me that the Banks and Mortgage Brokers were a big part of the scam. Over inflating the value of cheap housing, and not paying the hard workers what they are worth. The entire system is rigged. I can’t believe people really think politicians actually care about them. Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what is for dinner.

My Day

admin — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 05:04:06 +0000

My day is going horrible. I have a slipped disc in my back. It is pinching on my sciatic nerve, causing intense pain to shoot down my leg all the way to my toes. I have to go to the doctor later today, specifically a chiropractor. The treatment helps, but it is very expensive. I’m very unhappy. I built houses for 15 years and am stuck without insurance. I do not qualify for unemployment because I am physically unable to work. The condition I have may or may not be considered a disability. I have applied for disability, but have to wait a minimum of 5 months before I even get an answer. I am in desperate need of an MRI, but have no insurance to pay for it.

Seeing the United States

admin — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 08:03:44 +0000

Traveling is fun, but it can be expensive too. However, living in the United States provides many ways to travel and still been money savvy. There is so much history to be learned and beautiful land to be seen across the United States, that traveling in the United States can never get boring. I love traveling and so does my family. We love to visit different places every year and we like to find the cheapest way of doing it all too. Camping is a great option when traveling because it is very affordable and it is a fun experience. Many national parks across the United States offer great camping options and you can stay there while also exploring the national park and its surroundings to learn the history of the United States and see the beautiful land that we live on. I have visited many places on the East Coast and North and South, but I have yet to go to the West Coast. I am planning on my next vacation to Colorado to visit the mountains there and hopefully see some other fascinating historical landmarks on my way there.

Fire Escape Ladders Save Lives

admin — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 06:05:13 +0000

Many buildings have fire escapes and fire escape ladders. These are mostly found in older buildings where an indoor fire stairwell was not built within the building. Nevertheless, having a safe fire escape ladder is essential to saving lives. All fire escape stairs need to be inspected every year to make sure they are functioning properly and have not deteriorated. If there is a fire, people will be depending on the fire escape stairs to save their life. Fire escape stairs are mostly made of metal. The metal should be tested and given a stress test to make sure the stairs are safe and sound. If there is paint on the stairs they should be repaired and repainted with a rust proof paint as well to ensure against rusting. They may even need to be replaced with a more modern version of fire escape stairs. In conclusion, fire escape stairs are important and should be inspected regularly and kept in good working condition.

Hot, Humid, and Full of Baseball Pride

Saint Louis is a nice place to live. The weather in the summertime is hot and always humid, but there are dozens of places you can catch a break from the heat. We are a city of baseball pride and love our Saint Louis Cardinals. No matter how hot it is outside the baseball stadium will be packed with fans of all ages and sizes. Saint Louis is a place with an endless amount of things to do and you can never find yourself bored. There are many free options too for the penny savers in the city too. Going to the zoo or art museum give people a fun thing to do for a day and it is free too! Ronnie’s 20 Movie Theater and the dozens of family friendly water parks around town give families a way to break free and cool off from the hot and humid days of Saint Louis summers.

Plain Jane

admin — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 08:02:56 +0000

I am not a fashonista, nor am I the most creative person when it comes to my wardrobe. I have lots of solid colored pieces that will all go together, so my options are endless. I have lots of black and white and I usually opt for a black and white combination because it is just easier. Today, I would call myself “plain Jane”. I am wearing black crop pants with a white flutter tank and a black cardigan. It is not too dressy, but dressy and casual enough for work. I have a simple silver necklace to accent my neckline and diamond stud earrings on. I paired the outfit with black t-strap sandals and felt beautiful. It is nothing special and nobody will notice me, but that is how I like it to be.

A Beautiful Home with a Wrap Around Porch

admin — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 04:02:43 +0000

Picking one thing to have in the world is hard, but I know my answer. I am not someone who comes from money and will probably not have a lot of money when I get older, but I dream of having a beautiful house with a large wraparound porch. I know something like this would and will cost me quite a few dollars, but that is the one thing in the world, if I could have anything, I would ask for. I enjoy sitting outside in the mornings and afternoons and enjoying a breeze and relaxing before and after a stressful day. With a beautiful home to come home to and a wraparound porch to sit on, I would be set to relax each and every day with my dream having come true.

Endless Studying

admin — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 12:02:23 +0000

My education means a lot to me. I have always been a very driven and hardworking person and I find myself mad when I do not do well in something. My education especially is important. I find myself doing more than professors expect on assignments so I know I will fulfill all requirements and get nothing but the best grade. I feel that if I do well in school, then I can do well in my future career too. Education means a lot to me because it is all I know. I am in college now and have been in school since I was five years old. I find it to be something that everybody should have the opportunity of getting to have and that it is important for everyone to be educated in something they are fascinated or interested in. Learning and doing well in school means a lot to me because it teaches me many life lessons about hard work and dedication that you might not learn at work or at home.

Kris kringle is fun

admin — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 07:27:20 +0000

I love Kris Kringle. It is always such a huge surprise. Well for me it is. Last year I got a great gift for work. A person who I do not really like at work happened to buy me two fire warden kits. This was amazing as I thought she would have bought me something horrible that would be useless. Last year she gave someone a pair of odd socks when she received a massage voucher. I ended up giving her some perfume which she is constantly talking about. Normally her conversation revolves around designer labels and cosmetic surgery which can get a little tedious.
