The Hunting of Phone Area Codes

A good tool that technology has provided us with is the Phone Number Hunter, where you can go to see what area codes are for what city and state  This information is also listed in most phone books, but with the majority of people turning to the Internet for their information, such as this, it is good information to have access to when the need arrives.

Reading Glasses, a Necessary Way of Life

One of the fun parts about getting older is that you get to wear glasses for reading. I first noticed that I was having trouble reading when I was doing some cooking and had to read the preparation measurements on the back of the box. I couldn’t tell the difference between the fractions numbers because they were so small. So, I realized that I needed to get an eye exam and find a nice pair of eyeglasses.

There are plenty of places around here to do an eye exam for only $39, so I made an appointment and had my checkup. They gave me the prescription for reading glasses and I went shopping. Frankly, I don’t understand why some of these places are charging $400 and up for a pair of glasses. That’s ridiculous

Eye wear for any occasion online

Free UPS for orders over $29.95, can be found for discount sunglasses and plenty other eye wear Brand Names, right online at Opticsplanet.net, which you will find the leading eye wear and sports optics for your prescription and other eye wear related pages for your review.

Going to the local Mall a few years back and seeing what they are charging for their “Designer Sunglasses” products makes me think twice about purchasing anything from them and start taking advantage of using the Internet for better much better deals,great customer service and along with their top of the line selections.

I’ve located a good set of golfing glasses here at this website, some thing that isn’t easily found just anywhere, might make for a nice Christmas present to myself this year. Every year I end up finding something that just reaches out and touches me so that I end up purchasing a gift for myself, at least I end up with at least one present that is perfectly matched with my individual taste and budget needs that I know that I will like, enjoy and use, which is always a nice treat. Something that I can’t always say occurs with the majority of the present that I’ve received through out my adult life time.

So if you are in need of some good quality eye wear, take a look around and see for yourself, a nice set of glasses would be a great Christmas gift for a good amount of people.

Ninjutsu Lessons – a good and positive move for my niece

My brother and his wife have gotten my favorite niece into taking Ninjutsu lessons and they tell me that she is enjoying it immensely and shows promise in keeping an interest in this Japanese type of Martial Arts. She has only been taking these lessons for a little over 2 months and has just last night earned her green belt and can finally put away the bright white belt that all beginners are keenly aware of the “newbie” status that it implies.

I have taken the time and looked on the Internet and found a web-site that specializes in Martial Arts Equipment and have found a book that speaks of The Ninjutsu: History and Tradition, that I am thinking of ordering for her as one of her several Christmas presents that I will take over to her this year. She is an awesome kid and I adore spoiling her at every chance that I get. She does like to read, thank goodness, because so many kids these days hate even the idea of picking up a book, so I feel comfortable in giving her some type of book or two every Christmas, along with other items that she has on the top of her Christmas wish list each and every year, and she always counts on that tradition between the two of us since her very first Christmas experience.

Magazines

Curious about the health of magazine publishing. The checkout stand at the grocery store is loaded with different magazines and new ones appear every once in a while. I know there are regional differences in the magazine selection, as well. For example, in the the South you can buy a very popular and successful magazine called, “Southern Living.” But out West you cannot find that magazine.

There is a comparable magazine in California called “Sunset,” but it is not as nice as the Southern Living. I suspect they may be produced by sister companies. In that case, Southern Living is the pretty sister and Sunset is “the other one.”
