Dr Copa

A liquor store in a neighboring town has this display out front. I thought it was a very cool idea to use the whiskey barrels. By taking this idea and stacking the barrels, plus using flexible tubing and a pump, you can have a fountain of dreams on the back deck or patio of your own home.

I have been trying to encourage my sister-in-law Susan to quit smoking for the past several years.  She has smoked heavily for over forty years, so it is not going to be easy for her to quit.  What bothers me is that her doctor has already told her that she needs to quit smoking because her lungs are not working at their full capacity.  And her doctor has told her that the age of her lungs are about fifteen years older than her actual age.  That tells me that she is on the path to an early death.

Unfortunately, she does not seem to have much interest in quitting smoking.  Even though she has repeatedly promised her kids that she is going to quit, and even commits to a specific date, that date comes and goes and she still smokes.  It seems that every time I turn around, she is outside smoking a cigarette and talking on her cell phone.  The smoke stinks up her clothes, and stinks up the car when she sneaks a smoke in there. 

I’ve been hearing a lot about the new electronic cigarette that has recently come onto the market  Although it does not advertise itself as an aid to quit smoking, what I have read about it seems to be a viable option for people who need to quit smoking but really don’t want to.  I’m going to talk to Susan about trying one and see if she would smoke one of them instead of the “real” things.  If these are really less harmful to one’s health, then I’m all for it!

Speaking of the Antarctica, I never did see the movie, “Happy Feet!” Maybe I’ll rent it from Netflix.

The internet helps with homework by making it easy for students to find a specific topic all with a few clicks of the mouse. For example, I did a research paper on animals that live in Antarctica. I was able to type in those exact words in a search engine and click go. Within seconds I found hundreds of different sites that had information about animals that live in Antarctica. I was able to get statistics, graphs, pictures, and all the information I needed for my paper. I was also able to print out images to make a nice presentation as well. All of this was easy to do using ClearTVBundle.com to go online. My research paper was a breeze to do because the information I needed was all right in front of my face. After I gathered all the information I was even able to look up how to format it. I found a research paper template that walked me through writing the paper. I was even able to check my spelling and grammar. Within a few hours my research paper was ready to be printed and handed into my teacher.
