I have a feeling I am going to be Miss Cranky Pants tonight.

I have been working really hard all day.  And while my job is not physically strenuous in ways that you normally think of, sitting in a chair and typing for nearly ten hours straight takes a greater toll on your body than you would think.

My butt hurts from sitting.  My shoulders and neck hurt from curving forward to type and looking down at my computer (a laptop).  My eyes hurt from staring at the screen all day (and on only five and a half hours of sleep last night, too).  I’m jittery and shaky from consuming too much caffeine, running my blood sugar too high (a combination of the caffeine and stress), and not eating very much all day (no time).

I wish I knew of some ways to take care of feeling crappy without drugging myself up.  I’d take a hot bath tonight to relax, but it will probably put me right to sleep, and then I won’t be able to finish up the work I need to do later tonight!

I know there are some methods of getting rid of aches and pains naturally, such as using a healing magnet to dull or stop the pain signals to the brain.  Believe it or not, these medical magnets have actually been proven in many studies to be effective, so they have become a popular method of alternative pain relief.

Without those options, though, I think I’ll have to settle for a hot bath and maybe even a back rub from my husband!

Military deployments have a substantial impact on family members left behind, especially the children of the men and women who serve our country in the military. Fears bubbling below the surface, the absence of a parent or parents for extended periods of time are hard for children. Their routines are interrupted and their needs become more difficult to meet by those who are left behind to handle the domestic responsibilities.

A tool the military has brought to the frontline is videoconferencing services so children can see their parents in person. This technology not only helps to calm fears as parents fight in wars or serve in far off countries, but helps boost the morale of military personnel who miss their families.  While children don’t get to see their parents daily, using a video conference service for a parent to read their child a bedtime story goes a long way to sustain family connections while on military service. Military outposts have set up video conference facilities so military personnel can utilize the technology while on long deployments. Our military service people deserve any technology available to make their time away from their loved ones a little easier to bear.  Staying connected is just one way to help the children and their parents make it through until they are reunited.

It took Wendy Whittaker five years to compile enough stories from people that had gone fly fishing in GA. Her husband being the son of a travel director that dealt with the region, she would often hear stories about fly fishing, though neither she nor anyone in her immediate family did that. The legend of the Toccoa Monster didn’t appear in any history books, nor in any official news source. The tale had apparently been told by a Georgia fly fishing guide, but nobody knew where his story originated from. There were quite a few people out there that have heard his story, and perhaps some of them believe it.

This legend, as legends typically are, passed on through conversation as well as perceived as a possibility of existing in reality. Although Wendy or Val, the travel director, didn’t see it as a real threat, it was interesting. The story went like this. The monster, with 3 eyes and a tail that protruded from the back of its head, would catch fish and hold them to the fishing lines. That is how it would attack people on a trout fishing trip, but it wouldn’t kill anybody. It had a taste for wood and would eat the boats, leaving the people stuck in the cold water.

I wanted to point out to anyone who may be planning a trip to the good state of Florida that you can get some pretty great discounts when you get your rental car Orlando located. Even if you will be just outside of this region, even as far away as Coco Beach, you may do very well to get your vehicle booked through the Orlando airport car rental, especially if this is where you will be coming off your plane. The reason for this is that there is just so much great pricing here that you should not look elsewhere!

For example, for our need in a car rental, Orlando was just far cheaper to get even though we were staying a few miles outside of the city. There is a lot of competition in this region which really has helped to make sure that people get what they need, especially with the large amount of traffic coming into the city for the amusement parks. For anyone that may be coming down, the only way to really save money (and time) is to book your trip online. You can find just about all that you need online and you will save a great deal of money this way.
