Genius Nephew

Genius Nephew

Guest post written by my buddy Brian Workman

Every Thursday I watch my little genius nephew after he comes home from school. James is only five, but he is wise well beyond his years. James doesn’t do the types of things a normal child his age would do. The other day I was busy with work that was left after a long day in the office so I decided that rather than reading or playing with James, I’d try to sit him in front of the television for a couple hours so that I could finish everything up. After about five minutes of cartoons, James came to me with a puzzled look on his face, and asked “Aunt Layla, how do the cartoons get in the television?” I should have known that I wasn’t going to get off easy by getting James to watch television. How am I supposed to know how cartoons get in the television? Because I have virtually no knowledge of the mechanical workings of a television, I decided it’d be easier to explain the process of selecting a package with the channels you want so a company can stream them into your television. That wasn’t enough for my little darling. Luckily I knew where to go to show him what I meant: http://www.satelliteTVfamily.com. We spent at least half an hour on the site, which was just long enough for me to give up on my work and decide I needed to give James my full attention.

This Blog Is Finally Working Again!

Because of my online course, I haven't been regularly updating nor visiting my blogs. But about a month ago when I had a chance to visit this blog, I noticed it was acting weirdly. Every time I tried to access this blog it always redirected me to an unknown website. I was ready to just delete this blog but when I tried to open it two days ago, I was surprised to see that it's working again! Now I have more time to write posts here. Stay tuned!

Toys for Big Boys

Should I or shouldn't I give my hb a welding equipment for Christmas?  I know he tries to be handy at home but he's got tons of 'toys' that he doesn't even have time to use anymore. So should I add some more to them?  Well I know he's really good at doing things around the house, but only if he's got a lot of time. There are some projects that he wanted to do by himself but I guess I would rather hire people to do them for us -  like painting the house, clearing the basement with junk, and finishing the garage floor with epoxy.  Anyway, I'm still on the fence about the welding equipment, but I just might give in to it since I'm running out of time and ideas too of what to give hb this Christmas.

Holiday Shopping Interrupted

So I have been buried in my books for the past three weeks now trying to beat the deadline of my online course.  I know I've proven time and again that I work well and accomplish a lot when I cram, but this season is not a great time to cram!  There are so many distractions and I couldn't help but sneak out once in a while to put some Christmas spirit at home.  I have managed to decorate the tree with ornaments and lights, even put up the lights in the bushes on one freezing cold day.  Slowly but surely the house is keeping up with the festive mood of the season.  


Also I haven't set foot in the mall to buy presents for my family and friends.  Thank God for online shopping though, at least I was able to buy some gifts but my list is way not complete yet.  I know a friend is in the middle of upgrading her kitchen and she's looking for new sink to replace her old one.  Though I can't afford to give her one of those sienna sinks stainless steel sinks that she likes but I'm sure I could get her an accessory like the custom cutting board or grates.  These accessories are very useful and affordable I think I would get a cutting board for my sink too.

What to Buy Again

It's this time of the year again when I struggle to choose which Christmas present to get for my hb. He's this person that has gotten really hard to buy gifts for because he's got almost everything. He has this clip on shades that he snaps on his prescription eyeglasses, they're very convenient to use if he could only find them when he needs them. They're too small and a bit flimsy and so easy to lose. He has another prescription eyeglasses with Transition feature but not dark enough to give comfortable shade when its too bright and sunny. He has a pair of really good looking branded sunglasses but I guess another pair wouldn't hurt. I'm thinking of getting him a pair of stylish Tom Ford Sunglasses that he could keep handy in the glove compartment of his car. I'm sure he'll like them.

On Life Insurance

Some people would cringe on the thought of premature talk of death when you get life insurance, but to me it's just one of the best decisions one could ever make. Life insurance would give some form of security to beneficiaries in case of untimely deaths. There are a lot of features to consider when getting life insurance and one site I find very informative is Wholesale Insurance, you might want to check it out too.
