I Feel Better Using the Online Checker

I had to write a very important form letter that would go out to all 200 employees. I wrote it in my word document program that had a spell checker included. I am so glad that I had my secretary proof read it even though no errors were found. It turns out that I had typed in the wrong letters for a certain word and the spell checker did not see the need to correct it because it was not a misspelled word. If my secretary had not caught that, I would have had a lot of people laughing because the wrong word was actually a curse word that made the entire sentence very humorous under different circumstances. I decided I needed a better checker and found a great one at spellcheckonline.com. It is able to pick up mistakes like that a lot better! I still proof read everything just to be on the safe side, but I feel a lot better with this online checker.

Good Children’s Books Say I Love You

Poor Clare Colettines - Cleveland, OhioValentine’s Day is almost here! Do you have something special for the Valentines in your life? Those little kids and/or grandkids would love to get a little gift, and I have just the thing.

I found some good children’s books that I enjoyed so much I want to share them with you. They are a series of books called The Orange Chronicles. The first book is called Orange Down Under, about a flying pig named Orange and his best friend Jes. Of course you can tell by the title that they go to Australia. What you can’t tell by the title is what an awesome journey they have. By reading this book you will have so much fun traveling with them. You will share their adventure, excitement, and danger, and you will also learn a lot about Australian animals and culture.

The second book is called Orange in the Land of Lakes and Volcanoes. This book is another journey, but I won’t tell you where to. If you don’t know which country is known as the land of lakes and volcanoes, then know that that piece of information is one of the many things you will learn in this amazing book. And there are three more books coming out this year.

You and your Valentines will love this series. And what a great way to say I love you!

I Have to Make a Speech!

Oh no! My best friend is getting married and he wants me to be the best man at the ceremony. That’s not the real problem, though; he also wants me to make a speech at the reception. There’s going to be about four or five hundred people there and I’m already shaking like a leaf at the prospect of having to stand up and say a few words. I hate public speaking with a passion, but there’s no way to get out of this without looking like an anti-social chump. I went online just a few hours ago to look for best man speech structure in an effort to put something together in a coherent fashion. What I found online has helped put my thoughts together, and I’m hoping I can maybe put a few cards down on the table in front of me if I need the help. I asked my friend about maybe installing a teleprompter and he’s not buying it. Oh well. I’ll get through this the best I can.

Being Physically Fit: Bicep Exercises

I will be the first to admit, I have never been physically in shape. Ever. Blame it on my total and utter disinterest towards anything physical or any manual labor. I even hate breaking a single sweat. So sue me. Kidding aside, one of my major bodily insecurities is my puny arms. I wish I have the resolve to go to the gym right now and get the biceps of a male model. I checked a bicep exercises website and saw for myself how I need not go in a fancy gym and perform a complicated routine to achieve the kind of biceps that I want. It is mostly healthy eating, 2-3 days of exercising the biceps and such. It was indicated that the muscles need to recover from previous exercises so it should not be abused. And a lot of patience and perseverance are required. Obtaining your goal can not be achieved overnight; it should be coupled with the right exercise and attitude.
