Since it’s Halloween I thought it would make sense to post some Halloween safety tips.  Feel free to let me know if you can think of anything else and I’ll add it to the list.

• Stay on the sidewalks
• Walk
• Stay in neighborhoods you know
• Don’t cut across people’s yards, use their walkways
• Carry a flashlight
• Wear shoes that are good for walking in
• Only go to houses with the lights on
• Wear light colored clothing or add reflective tape to your costume
• It’s better not to wear a mask at all, but if you wear one make sure you can see well through the eye holes.  Take it off if you need to cross the street.
• Wear a flame resistant costume

Have fun!

I come from a family of hunters.  None of the women ever got into the hunting, but most of the men in my family are very much into hunting.  So when I saw this Free ATB Pro Gear promotion from Nikon today I knew that it was something they would be excited about.  It’s a pretty exciting promotion.  If you purchase Monarch ATB binoculars you get a $50 gift card.  Or if you purchase a Trailblazer ATB, an Action Extreme ATB, or a ProStaff binocular you will get a $25 gift card.  Nikon Pro Gear has a large selection of clothes for both men and women.  You’re going to want to check our their site.

There are many forms to treat anxiety.  If you are suffering from anxiety then you know what a terrible feeling it is to feel anxious all of the time.  Of course there are medications that can be taken but I think it’s usually better to try other treatments before resorting to medication.  Here are a few things you can try:

1. Cut out the coffee or whatever your main source of caffiene is.
2. Exercise.  It might sound relatively simple but it really does help.
3. Get outside or let some sunlight in.
4. Use various relaxation techniques.
5. Cognitive Behavior Therapy- where you learn how to recognize and change your thought patterns.

And if the anxiety is worsening or interfering with your day to day life you will probably need to take medication.

This is a hard time to be looking for a job.  Our economy is in rough shape and people are losing their jobs.  It doesn’t seem like there are many companies out there who are hiring.  If you are considering a new career maybe now would be a good time to go back to school.  You could start your eduction, complete your education, maybe go to truck driving school, take a few classes, etc.  If you can’t find a job now is a good time to get some education.
