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!

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.

Just got back in the house from walking the dogs and they were very upset during the walk. I couldn’t tell what was bothering them until we got around the back corner of our property and there was a black bear up on the edge of the woods. I only saw it for a brief moment, as the dogs barking must have scared it off. I’m rather glad that the barking didn’t agitate the bear into charging us.

It’s unusual to see a bear this close to the house. I am going to have to be more vigilant while outdoors from now on.

That is basically how I ended up at the web site called, The Chronicle, which is a site about academia. I was interested in the part that listed job openings in different colleges and universities, and I happened across a whole section of related blogs.

From this site, I surfed over to the Walden University web site. Although I don’t know anyone who has attended Walden, it seems like a good school for someone who wants to get their college degree online from an accredited university.

If you are interested in completing the college courses that you started elsewhere, or maybe want to just look into a higher Education, then try out some of the links I just wrote about in this post.
