Eco Outdoor Geek Gift Alert!

 I went out today to take Madame Teenager out to Office Max (Don't ask) and I noticed the streets were empty considering it was black Friday! Then "She" reminded me of the reason. Husker game today. Nothing, but nothing gets in the way of a televised Nebraska football game. They even broadcast it in the stores here. I love it here! Who else could go out on Black Friday and have no traffic headaches, no crowds, no spastic drivers trying to get to the store before everyone else. I love it I say!

What goodies do I have for you today? Hmm, well, in my search for the unique and functional, I found something that would be perfect for the people on your list who are either Geek, outdoor types or eco-maniacs (or all three!) These unique speakers fold out, like origami, but they are able to connect to ipods so that music can be shared wherever you happen to be! They really are something different, and functional. Voila, my work here is done! ;)

Women's Tea Set w/Tea Made Especially For Women

 It's nice to come across things that are made by women and for women. Grandmas Online is about not only women finding their way online, but also creating and promoting products. Women are known for their generosity and naturally supportive natures. As an older woman, I see that females have come a long way in this world, but there are still women struggling to find or promote their goods or services, especially online. That, along with health tips, recipes and great deals, is what you will find here at Grandmas Online. I want this to be a place where you can come for sharing, and also a place where you can come to enhance yourself in some way.

That being said; I came across this tea set that includes not only the teapot and the infuser, but also a specially formulated tea created by a woman in Chicago. This tea has so many wonderful ingredients, including Rose Hips,  Fennel, Raspberry, Chamomile, Green tea, Red Clover, and more. Each one of these ingredients has health and beauty promoting benefits for women. Tea sets, in and of themselves, are a dime a dozen. A tea set AND tea made especially for women is a rarity. Oh, and the tea is chemical free. It's the real deal. It's called eSutra Womens Tea Set.

Icy Hot~Unsolicited Review!

Several weeks ago, I had gotten a free sample in the mail for Icy-Hot XL medicated patches. I threw it in with some other samples I have and didn't think much about it, until the other day. As some of you know, I had double emergency surgery last January and have been having trouble ever since. I have a huge surgical wound hernia which is about the size of an 8 month fetus. Anyway, I took some Tylenol w/Codeine for that, but since I sit at the computer so many hours a day, my rights shoulder and down to my shoulder blades starts to hurt like the dickens. (Yes, even after I've taken a pain pill for the stomach)

Anyway, I was looking on my desk for something, and I saw the Icy Hot package in the sample box. I figured it couldn't hurt, so I tore it open and applied it. It took a little doing, since the pain was in an awkward place to be self-applying the patch, but I managed it. Within a MINUTE, I felt this cool relief that just swept over the area. I'm telling you, I was in heaven. If I could have, I would have put one over my entire body. It felt marvelous, and the pain was GONE! For about 7 hours after I applied it, there was no pain in my shoulder. None, Nada, Zilch. I have to admit that I didn't think this thing was going to do any good at all, but I was so pleasantly surprised. You can bet your bottom dollar that I WILL be buying some of these, probably a lot of them!

If you suffer from muscle or joint aches, and need good, over the counter relief, do yourself a favor and get Icy-Hot medicated patches. You will be amazed at how well they work!


 

Why I don't "Do" Black Friday

 

It seems every other post on the social networks lately has been about Black Friday. The biggest shopping day of the year, and in many instances, the biggest savings of the year. Well, on Black Friday, I'll be working on my holiday lenses and writings, and trying to find great deals to show you on my blogs. Why, you may ask, don't I participate in Black Friday?

I realize that with blogs, owners are supposed to be cheerful and upbeat, and I usually am! Even in the case of Black Friday, I think it's wonderful that businesses enjoy one day of sales unlike any other. I think it is wonderful that people save money on the items they want. I think it's great that a lot of people enjoy the thrill of the hunt. That, my friends is where it stops.

Too many times I have seen otherwise kind people actually fight for parking spaces. We are talking straight out of "Fried Green Tomatoes" here. TOWANDA! Only, it's not always funny. I have seen elderly people have to walk from the back of parking lots while young, healthy people take advantage  of the "good" spots. By the same token, I have seen handicapped people pushed out of the way so that someone could grab that last popular gaming system. One of the worse things I have encountered too many times is the crying young child who is dragged along through stores with his mother angrily saying "COME ON!" As a grandmother, I can tell you that this memory is going to be as important, if not more-so, than what they find on Christmas morning.

So, my friends, I will take advantage of Cyber Monday, but you all are welcome to Black Friday. If I may impart some advice to everyone braving the conditions on Friday; Relax, it's not the end of the world if you don't get exactly what you want. Saving money is not worth losing integrity and thoughtfulness. Are you eye-balling a gift, maybe the last one in stock, along with someone else? I would humbly suggest that you grab the gift, look at the other person, smile, and hand it over to them. Yes, you may lose a fantastic deal, but the feeling you will get may very well be a better start to the holiday season than Black Friday itself.

That being said, if you are going out on Black Friday, have fun, enjoy the hunt...but don't make it more than it is! Enjoy your day, regardless.

This is funny!

I was surfing around finding ways to improve my blogs and I snagged this right from blogger help:

Twas the Month Before Christmas...

Where does the time go between the end of September, and New Years? Zooooom, it's gone. It seems to go quicker the older I get. This year, it really has been flying by. Of course, the whole year until recently has been a blur. After the surgeries in January, I developed an infection. About 4 months into recovery, I suffered a surgical wound hernia. That has caused some real problems.Not the least of which is I look 8 months pregnant. Now, THAT has started a few conversations!

I should be able to have surgery to repair it sometime around the end of the year, or beginning of next. In the mean-time, the pain has been incredible. So much so that I have gone to the doc twice now requesting pain medication. That is SOOO not me!

On a happier note, I have been quite active with my writing. For those coming over from Thrifty Home, I began this lens out of inspiration through my fellow "lensmasters" at Squidoo. If you like to write, (and if you blog, you qualify!) and you have something to share, teach, or just write about, check out Squidoo. The community is very helpful, and if you need extra help, I and my fellow "squids" would be happy to offer assistance. You can check out some of my lenses by visitng my lensmaster bio. Squidoo is also a great partner with your blog. The link love is incredible!

It seems we "boomers" (not the Oklahoma type) have become quite prolific. The journey is incredible, and if I've learned anything, it's that in succeeding, it's not so much trying to be better than anyone else, it's trying to be as helpful as we can.

So, members of GO, meet the members of the Thrifty Home. Thrifty Home fans and friends, meet the GO team! There is so much we all have to share with each other, so let's get started!

Wow...the lines are crossed!

What an exciting week! I won a couple of give aways, and when I entered, I thought I was entering through my other blog Thrifty Home, but nooooooo, It was linked to this blog! Well, good excuse as any to get this one rolling again, no?

I feel so much better now that I know what is going on!

Be back soon!
