the warmest clothing we have. One of the keys to staying warm at this
time of year is to wear different layers of clothes. But you still want
to put on the best protection last, such as one of these <br />
A well insulated outer coat can make all the difference in the kind of
drastic cold that is possible in January and February - especially when you
find yourself outdoors for an extended period of time.Ladynredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15054466831033220900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13344488.post-75763225686715847742015-01-31T14:02:00.000-08:002015-02-05T14:04:09.020-08:00cool party lightsEver wonder where those corporate Christmas party djs get their cool
light show equipment? You know that lights that they've got going on
that are almost mesmerizing to look at.(Maybe that's why they use
them!) Of course you already know that you're probably not going to
find something as specialized at your local hardware store. But I don't know the hardware store where you live. <br />
Chances are though, you're best bet for finding something like that
is online at a store that specializes in such products. Why waste time
and money looking anywhere else?Ladynredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15054466831033220900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13344488.post-2308988068138475902014-11-16T07:35:00.001-08:002014-11-16T07:35:26.271-08:00shows and gigsI'm not sure what musicians and the people that work at putting on their
live shows and gigs have always used for lugging around all the
equipment they need. But I'm pretty sure they never had it as good as
this rock and roller cart at my local grocery store.
It look so good for what its designed for, I'm almost tempted to get
one for lugging about other things aside from the items it was intended
for. But that's probably just the Geek in me talking now.Ladynredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15054466831033220900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13344488.post-76553745710921567562014-11-16T07:33:00.001-08:002014-11-16T07:33:16.198-08:00kidsAs I was picking up my daughter yesterday from school, I noticed a
group of kids carrying various instruments away from the school. I've
seen kids carrying instruments on their way home before. But it's not
every day that you see what looked like the entire music room marching
by - including drums, keyboards?, and guitars. I kept hoping none of
the kids would fall on the ice and break the equipment or themselves.
At least if something did fall and break - like this beater from my son's toys that is replaceable.

favourite actor/comedians that I loved growing up had apparently given
up making movies and doing comedy and had taken up the banjo
It didn't seem like it was the same person. I'm talking about Steve
Martin, for those who want to know. But after thinking about it, why
not? Where is it written that people have to have only one major act in
life? Why can't people pursue what they really want to pursue, when
they want to pursue it?Ladynredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15054466831033220900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13344488.post-9326497535316912112014-08-12T14:31:00.000-07:002014-08-12T14:31:10.225-07:00shopping clothesI've always wondered why stores pipe music over the din of shoppers
shopping and other sounds. What is it about music that makes people
want to shop? Does it have a relaxing effect? Do people feel like
they're getting a better deal or that music is somehow aiding their
purchasing decision <br />
That could be, because we know that even musicians love to save money, just as you'll save on gold tone
banjos here. So the next time you hear a banjo playing while out
clothes shopping or buying food at the grocery store, let the banjo
inspire you to shop and save.Ladynredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15054466831033220900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13344488.post-29730334156576689362014-05-29T13:44:00.005-07:002014-05-29T13:44:54.661-07:00Women<a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/Agring/bluering.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/Agring/bluering.jpg" style="width: 200px;" /></a>Women's
like shopping and I'm one of them. But recently I'm kinda lazy to go to
the mall for shopping. It's just too much work you know. I have to get
ready and get dress, take a shower, brush my hair and all that stuff you
know. And then you have to drive to the mall and look for parking lot.
Sometimes it takes forever driving around because the parking is so
busy. Well, in today's world we can shop now in the comfort of our own
home. You just need a computer and internet services and it's just one
click away. I can visit the Reeds.Com whose specializing in ladies' and

music.I love listening to the sound of a talented singer singing with
the backup of the best musicians in the world. It's such a pleasure
listening to the talent of a Mariah Carey or Sharon Cuneta - especially
when they have the support of the best modeling technology to accompany them.<br />
<br />
Even
though I am not a musician myself, I can say that music is almost as
near to my heart as my love for taking pictures. I might even have
taken up music, learning to play some instrument, if I wasn't so deeply
involved in photography.Ladynredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15054466831033220900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13344488.post-56485157043408933122014-03-01T22:44:00.002-08:002014-03-01T22:44:30.830-08:00BackyardOM gosh! my backyard is full of snow.

the modern kitchen cupboards that usually come with a new home, it would
be some form<a href="http://ovisonline.com/Rev-A-Shelf-Cabinet-Organizers.aspx" target="_blank">of kitchen cabinet organizers</a>
to keep a handle on the clutter than eventually threatens to overtake
even the neatest of cooks.I feel like I've been fighting clutter all
my life and anything that can make the battle less onerous is welcome
indeed.It just seems like a shame that we have plenty of cupboard
space but not much in the way of organizing that space. Hopefully that
will all change sometime in the near future.Ladynredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15054466831033220900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13344488.post-46247627610786136442014-01-15T16:31:00.000-08:002014-01-15T16:31:04.067-08:00I need a massageThere is a wise word of advice that says that it's good to work with
one's hands the thing which is good. What could be more good than
giving a massage to someone who's back and body is tied up in knots from
overwork, or stress? We all know that stress is not only one of the
biggest problems in this life and has even been blamed for various other
health problems.<br />
Of course you can use your hands for massaging your loved ones. But
if you're really going to succeed and do the most good, you're going to
need more than good intentions. You're going to need go somewhere like massage classes. It's one thing to give a massage to your spouse. It's another to make stress and tension take a good long break.Ladynredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15054466831033220900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13344488.post-52395738190719356172013-11-29T10:28:00.000-08:002013-12-02T10:28:53.732-08:00SnowingTonight is very bad outside. It’s been snowing earlier tonight. Hubby just got out getting the mail and he said that it’s brutal outside. I was just browsing the internet looking for promotional products sale and I found one.

dog people. Apparently, we're the only family on this side that doesn't
own or has never owned a dog.& It's fun for the kids especially when we
visit our dog owning relatives and get to play with the dogs. They are
fun dogs to play with.<br />
<br />
It's never really been discussed seriously around our house about
getting a dog, although my daughter has mentioned it at least once.
Personally it just seems like too much added stress and work. Of course
there is also added affection and joy of having a dog. But there's no
question there is additional time and money involved with owning a dog.<br />
<br />
But I'm looking at this <a href="http://www.sportingdogpro.com/sportdog-collar-remote-trainer" target="_blank">sport dog collar</a>
today and thinking about how much fun having a dog would be. I mean,
there clearly are a lot of people who are passionate about their dogs
and dog sports. It doesn't seem that far removed from my own passion
when I look at it this way.Ladynredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15054466831033220900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13344488.post-33883104793512119152013-11-07T13:14:00.000-08:002013-11-07T13:14:43.634-08:00Favourite animalMy favourite animal is horse and I don’t know why? Well because I guess I
find them fascinating. They are strong and wild fast. I just love
looking at them even though I don’t know how to ride one. But it’s
always my dream to ride a horse and for what I know I need a pair of
riding boots and some other riding accessories. Maybe next summer I
could go to one of the farm here in town and check out for horse riding.Ladynredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15054466831033220900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13344488.post-27130306552353684462013-10-29T15:58:00.001-07:002013-11-07T13:11:06.774-08:00Gold Investments<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">What the heck is silver eagle.

out that we have a beautiful and spacious backyard. We have been
enjoying our backyard since we moved in. We have been installing
swimming pool every summer. There's a playhouse with slide in there
right now and my daughter really loves to play in the backyard that's
why we are thinking of getting a swing sets since there's still a lot of space in the backyard.

The health debate is a hot topic right now in the United States of America. People on both sides are passionately defending their points of view to the almost absurd levels. But the bottom line is that everyone, no matter what political stripe they wear, cares about their health. And we all know that medical costs are going through the roof.</div>

that unusual for his age of two. He enjoys moving to the music on
movies and other music.<br />
It’s probably not unlikely that he will take up some interest in music
later in his life if we don’t discourage him from it at some point. I
wouldn’t be surprised to see him strumming a jackson rr1 on a stage sometime in the not too distant future.

heard the middle of a band full of other instruments? There could be
dozens of instruments all playing at the same time in some bands and
yet, the sound of a single saxophone can be promoted at the touch of a
button from the sound booth. That's all due to one thing - like this <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/audio-technica-pro-35-cardioid-condenser-clip-on-instrument-microphone" target="_blank">exciting saxophone clip on mic at musician's friend</a>.
It sits almost unnoticed by the audience on the saxophone and yet
allows them to hear every note played by it - at the touch of a button.Ladynredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15054466831033220900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13344488.post-32221684567411470792013-08-24T00:56:00.002-07:002013-08-24T00:56:30.861-07:00Bass tablatureMusic is probably in my blood.I've always felt an affinity to music
even though I never trained with an instrument or voice. But that
might have been different if I'd had the means when I was growing up.
As it was, I found enjoyment of music solely in listening to others
perform, which is fine.
<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
On the other hand, it would be nice if one of our children did take
up either some voice or instrument training. I'd be open to almost any
form of music or voice even if that meant having to endure listening to
my son jam from a bass tablature
in his room. It might be taxing on the nerves and senses, but if my
son or daughter really found their passion in an instrument like the
bass for example, I'd encourage them to go for it.</div>
