The end of the year is almost here. If you have a flexible spending account make sure you’ve used it up. Some things that may qualify that you might not have thought of include prescriptions and weight loss products including gym memberships and exercise equipment. I paid for an exercise bike through my health insurance this way many years ago. I don’t have one any more. If you were getting a product for home to help you get in shape what would it be?

One of the things that plagues so many people is acne. Treatment has really evolved since I was young. Growing up people would always share the acne treatment they’d used or heard of. One of the first ones was cleaning your face with alcohol. I’ve heard of people using food products like honey, apples and oranges. I’ve heard of others using baking soda or garlic. Not into using food on your face? What about baking soda or toothpaste? Some folks prefer over the counter or prescription treatment? What’s your preference?

Everyone takes pictures on vactaion, and many people take them at and around home. Want to brighten up your pictures? Get people smiling more. A good visit with a good dentist can help you do that. My brother doesn’t smile as much as he could, because his teeth are not in the best shape. One of his teeth broke yesterday and the root is exposed so he’s got to get some work done. His fiancee called his dentist and the dentist shrugged it off and said he’d get him in in a couple of weeks. My brother is now going to get  anew dentist. She checked out his coverage and it seems to be very good so she’s checking how much he can get done. When I saw the before and after pictures on the site of a Plano Cosmetic Dentist I was amazed at the difference - it doesn’t even look like the same person. I hope he can get everything done so we can see him smiling again.

Getting ready to take a summer vacation? Been reading diet pill reviews?
I’ve never gained weight on a vacation. Not a pound, not even on our trips to Disney or on the Disney cruise, when we all ate a lot because the food was so good. We were talking yesterday and I realized why I’ve never gained weight while vacationing. It’s because we keep very busy and are always on the go. It’s the exercise. So eat if you want to eat. Just make sure you do lots of sight seeing and you’ll burn off whatever you eat.

Over the past year the grocery stores and mass retailers in my area have taken numerous cold products and put them behind the pharmacy counter. I mean anyone can walk into certain stores and buy diet pills but they can’t buy cold medicine. I understand they don’t want to make it easy for people concocting things but sometimes people want to buy a product so they can use it as intended.
