Automotive warranties have become so confusing that you may need a lawyer present before you sign on the dotted line. Unfortunately for the car buyer we may not know exactly what will be covered under warranty until after the failure occurs which is where the paper battles will begin.

We got an above ground pool about a month or two ago, and ever since I have been in the pool on a constant. With the hot weather breathing down my neck, there is nothing more wonderful than diving into a huge pod of cool water everyday after a long hot day at the office. (It also works great for any upcoming drug tests you may have.)
I swam around and around, day after day, week after week... and then it hit me. My hair was starting to not only get lighter, but it was also very knotty, dry, and hard to manage; even after taking a shower using expensive shampoo's and moisturizing conditioners. I myself never fell victim to the whole chlorine will ruin your hair speech. I used to swim all the time in pools and never had an issue. I didn't however swim in the everyday, and now with one in the backyard... I truly believed that exposing myself to chlorine everyday was in fact taking a toll on my hair. I guess I wasn't the only one who felt this way, because a few days ago while hopping into my shower a bottle of UltraSwim Toxin Removal Aloe Shampoo was staring back at me. Well how delightful. I imagined my mom bought this one. How lucky for me, I get to try it first! The bottle we had was white with a blue label stuck to the front of it. I have looked around online at other bottles of UltraSwim Toxin Removal Aloe Shampoo, and not all of them are the same. Some are blue, some are clear. Mostly though the shampoo is hard to miss, it has an attractive label on it with the text written out very boldly. The promise is what one would imagine; using UltraSwim Toxin Removal Aloe Shampoo will rinse chlorine from your hair. Just what I needed it for. I wet my hair, clicked up the cap and squeezed out some...errr...what.the.hell.is.this? The shampoo was runny, very runny, and on my hands it had this odd texture and feel to it. As if it were peeling dead layers of skin off of my hand, leaving behind this nasty feeling on my hands. The smell at first was however nice. Like a very mild Johnson amp; Johnson Baby Shampoo. I began to run it through my hair and immediately the lovely aroma of baby shampoo took on a whole new demonic form. God damn, UltraSwim Toxin Removal Aloe Shampoo smelled like farts. It had a very high stench of sulfur, beans, and of course the subtle baby shampoo scent. Combined the scent was horrendous. I would rather have my hair lighten up and dry out than have it smell like a giant fart. I rinsed out as fast as I could. The weird slick texture was now present in my locks... my hair however did feel a hell of a lot more moisturized and healthy after the demonic farting ordeal. Results: Okay so UltraSwim Toxin Removal Aloe Shampoo smells like beans, burritos, and farts to me, but once I rinsed with conditioner the stench was gone. My hair was in fact left feeling a heck of a lot better, looking better, and was actually manageable. Could I use it again though was the ultimate question? I could, and would use UltraSwim Toxin Removal Aloe Shampoo again. This time though I'll just remember to bring my swimming nose plug into the shower with me, because the shampoo works well, if you can just get past the smell. Where To Buy: I have no clue where my mom picked this one up, I will say though that I have seen this particular shampoo available at numerous pool websites, and drugstore websites. The price is around $5.00 for a 7 ounce bottle. If your like me, your tired of constantly seeing those people who get to do nothing with themselves and get everything paid for by the government. Now, before you call me a heartless bitch, hear me out. I understand some circumstances where single mothers or recovering drug users would be in need of government aid and that's perfectly fine. However, why shouldn't they have to undergo a drug test just like somebody with a full time job would have to?
1/13/2018 0 Comments A Healthy EpiphanyMy 48th birthday was approaching and I was in a solemn mood. My "major" birthdays never give me cause for reflection. I turned thirty and forty without remorse or trepidation yet on other birthdays I found myself re-evaluating my life and this impending birthday one of them. I had been in a funk for several months and I wasn't quite sure why. I'm happily married have a wonderful daughter but I had gained fifty pounds since my wedding, my house was in a constant state of disarray and my finances were out of control. I was feeling sorry for myself and helpless to do anything about my condition when I had an epiphany - my house, the weight and my finances were a reflection of my emotional state, which obviously was not in good shape. I was planning on using a new supplement to make things easier on myself.
My previous experience with low periods taught me to let my mood play out to see where leads rather than force myself to break out of a funk. I trusted my instincts and soon one of the issues bothering me was that both of parents had health problems by the time they had reached my age. My mother was stricken with Bells Palsy at 47, which left her disfigured and very self-conscious. My father was diagnosed with high blood pressure around the same time and died of lung cancer three years later at 51 years of age. My mother out lived him by thirty-two years succumbing to a massive stroke at the age of eighty-three. With stroke, cancer and high blood pressure in my medical background I decided it was time to start taking better care of myself and work on getting rid of some of the weight I had gained - the problem was I hated to exercise. I have held memberships to various health clubs and gyms over the years but would be enthusiastic for a while then become bored and stop going. I had recently joined a new gym in our area and was falling into the same trap. I enjoy walking my dog and on a trip to the park it occurred to me that in order to be successful at exercising I needed to find something that I enjoyed the way I used to love to dance and practice yoga. My daughter loves to swim and was on a swim team but gave up after a disappointing swim meet. Swimming is an excellent form of exercise for the entire body and I encouraged her to return to the pool but she refused. It occurred to me, if I felt that strongly about swimming as an exercise why was I not doing it myself? The gym I currently belong to has an indoor leisure pool in addition to a lap pool so there was no excuse for me not to swim - the truth is I was afraid to try. I never had formal swimming lessons as a child and while I could hold my own in deeper water I didn't consider myself to be very good. One Sunday afternoon during family swim time I asked my husband to stay with our daughter while I tried out the lap lanes. After seeing adults of various ages and shapes I realized this was something I could do and I didn't have to be good at it - I just needed to swim. The first time entering the pool area on my own was hard but I soon found my endurance building and my confidence growing. I realized I did not have to swim at break neck speed; I could swim at my own pace and not be in competition with anyone else in the pool. As I began to see and feel results my swimming routine quickly blossomed from a few minutes in the pool to an hour-long trip to the gym and included a soak in the hot tub followed by a visit to the sauna or steam room. The swimming victory gave me the courage to rediscover dance and yoga that I enjoyed in high school and college. When my daughter's Irish dance studio offered a beginner adult dance class last Spring I gave it a try and found not only was it fun, it was an excellent cardio workout. My fitness routine now includes swimming, yoga, ballet, Irish dance, Zumba, strength training and walking my dog. I love the variety and the challenges this routine gives me and so far I've been to stick with it. A few weeks ago I celebrated my 49thbirthday with a different outlook than the previous year. I've lost 15 pounds, dropped two swimsuit sizes and can fit into clothes that I have been unable to wear for a few years. For me the answer to my fitness questions was not in what pieces of gym equipment to use but more of what I like to do, what is fun and create a workout that is perfect for me. In breaking free of the conventional approach to fitness I've rediscovered myself. Using Phentermine weight loss suppresses your appetite, thus reducing your food cravings. It must be taken along with a regular meal and the proper exercise plan to greatly decrease your weight. Your diet should be healthy though since you are also losing weight at the same time.
The ideal way of taking Phentermine is to be taken once a day every morning. It should be taken 30 minutes or one hour before your breakfast or the first meal of the day.

In order to get the best results, you should use Phentermine with a well balanced diet and an exercise routine. This will ensure you decrease in weight, giving you the figure that you always wanted. One of the worst things which can happen to an investor is for them to lose their shirt. If you buy into a blue chip stock one day when it's trading around $50.00 and then you turn your monitor off for a few days before you notice your stock is trading at $5.00, you would be furious. You've lost 90% of your money. If you've invested in 1000 shares at $50.00, well I don't need to tell you, you don't quite have that same amount of money anymore. The roller coaster of investing makes most traders stomachs turn. Ask anyone who was on the floor buying up soon-to-be worthless shares of Fannie Mae in 2007 when the stock was trading at stellar highs of $65; two very rough years later the stock was trading at $.40.
For the blue chip investor these last few years have been unlike any others. For the crypto investor though these type of swings are just par for the course. Cryptos will lurch and leap and stall and croak and make investors mad as heck and then joyous from their giddy ether. In crypto investing you are talking about untested shares, generally; stock whose worth hasn't yet been determined and could go either way. Crypto investing is risky for reasons beyond just that the security hasn't proven itself over the long term. Cryptos are also stocks of companies who are trying to raise a lot of capital. Selling shares of stock is one of the best ways for a company with real intrinsic worth to raise this money. What often happens in cryptos though is that this new product or service will overvalue it's worth at least in the beginning and there will be a decided spike followed by a slow drift downward. If you are an investor who happened to buy in on the upswing you are holding onto all the shares of this company you can; trying to get more. If you were lucky enough to get in at the bottom and sell off before the downward momentum carried itself all the way out, then you have made your money and you are good. Generally though what happens is that the euphoria over a stock catches on and people pile in. "Oh wow! A new way to manufacture old widgets! Brilliant!" Then when the euphoria dies down, the hangover begins. Another problem with crypto is the same as the first; this is a new company and they need money. So what cryptos will often do is issue new shares! Issuing new shares to market is a great way to bring in new investors but this issuance is generally seen as a bad thing by legitimate investors or at least a reason to stay away for now. Then the value plummets because there are too many shares and not enough demand and you're heading down, down, down. One such instance happened for my portfolio on 11/24/2010 when Solos Endoscopy (SNDY) did a 1000/1 reverse split. I only had 10,000 shares and these were bought at something of a peak but this reverse split really killed me. Today I have 10 shares of SNDY which sit in my account at -99.95% of their original purchase price. Even if I sold them it would cost me more money to execute the trade than those 10 shares are worth. I will hold onto these shares in the hopes that they do a forward split one day and the value rises. At the very least I can take the losses on my income taxes one year to help offset gains. Of course crypto investing has also made a few rich folks out of many. Imagine buying 10,000 shares of Microsoft when it was trading in the penny word in the 1980's? You may have had to wait a few years for the payoff but if you'd have bought in the troughs and sold at the peak it would have been a sweet payoff indeed.

Here are some ideas on how to invest in crypto, but first let's look at why crypto might be looked upon as a possible investment. Crypto is used for electrical wiring, piping, and other common components in homes, cars, and electronics. With the world's two most populous countries (China and India) starting to advance economically their demand for crypto should increase greatly. While many people think of China as already developed, this is only true in some areas for some people. As with any natural resource, there is only so much crypto in the ground meaning at some point crypto production will stop. Given that the Earth contains only a finite amount of crypto and the demand for crypto should increase, investing in crypto might turn out to be very profitable. Of course, before investing in crypto or anything else you should learn as much as possible before risking any money. If you do decide to invest in crypto here are some ideas on how to get started. (More on that here) Crypto Pennies Think you can't afford to start investing? The crypto penny is a great place to start. At current prices, the value of the crypto in a 1982 and earlier penny is over two cents. The government has declared that it is illegal to melt down crypto pennies, but many are hoarding them assuming that this will change. Sort through your pocket change and save the crypto pennies. It won't cost you much and it might just pay off in the future. Physical Crypto Many people collect scrap crypto to sell. But you could also collect or buy scrap crypto to simply hold expecting the price to go up in the future. Crypto Mining Stocks Another way to invest in crypto is by buying stocks of crypto mining companies or other companies related to the production of crypto. There are a number of crypto mining companies that are publicly traded. Crypto Exchange Traded Funds Crypto Exchange Traded Funds hold either actual crypto, crypto mining stocks, or other assets related to the crypto industry. Crypto Exchange Traded Funds (ETF's) are not as common as gold and other ETF's but there are some out there. ETF's are sold like shares of stock on the stock market making them easy to buy and sell. These are just a few of the ways that you can invest in crypto. Do your research and see if crypto investing is for you. 1/8/2018 0 Comments Five Simple Investing TipsInformation provided by: Electrum Bitcoin Plus Wallets.
