Women are always going to beauty shops, or salons as they call them now, and talking about what else, their hair. Sure, they talk about their husbands and boyfriends and neighbors too probably but the biggest reason they are there is their hair. For a guy it’s an entirely different experience. We go to a barbershop and we talk about sports. We talk anything we can think to talk about other than our hair. We don’t discuss colors, highlights, and certainly not any balding that seems to be rapidly spreading across our scalp. So when I made an appointment to meet with a Seattle hair replacement consultant to talk about my hair – or rather my lack of hair – it was the first time for me and I was nervous.
I didn’t need to be nervous at all but I didn’t know that. I’m sure women don’t get nervous when they’re talking about their hair but this was entirely different. This was me at my very first hair consultation. And so it went that not only was I having my first consultation I was also having my first talk with anyone about my hair loss. Until now I just pretended like either I didn’t notice or it wasn’t really happening to me or it was completely intentional.
The Seattle hair replacement consultant I talked to at William Collier Design was thoroughly knowledgeable about hair replacement methods and what was available to me. I felt pretty comfortable. I met with William Collier himself and he gave me some ideas of different ways I might wear my hair just in case I wanted to go in that direction. By seeing a Seattle hair replacement consultant I learned a whole lot about my hair and my options that I never knew so I’m really glad I went and I recommend you go too if the time comes.
My Very First Hair Consultation
These Jet Ski Rentals Saved the Vacation
Some friend and I were renting a house in Sunset Beach, North Carolina, during a vacation break and at one point my buddies were getting a bit restless. They have the entire ocean and beach to have fun on but they wanted more, something different. I started searching around. I was looking for a Sunset Beach jet ski rentals dealer when I came across Ocean Isle Fishing Center.
Let me tell you that turned our vacation around in a hurry! Not only did we find Sunset Beach jet ski rentals but as it turned out they have pontoon boat rentals too, and fishing charters of the type we’d only ever talked about. Imagine their surprise when I printed out the information on the Sunset Beach jet ski rentals that I’d found and tossed it at them.
The jet skis are actually Yamaha Wave Runners with 4-stroke engines and it’s was like riding a motorcycle on the water. They seat up to 3 people each but we each got our own. The equipment was brand new! They told us they buy brand new equipment every year at the beginning of the season to be sure of reliable operation of all the jet skis.
The icing on the proverbial cake was that we were able to get some coupons from their website and save $20 on each of our rentals! We really had a blast.

Little River Fishing Excursion
My buddies and I recently went on a Little River fishing excursion aboard a charter boat. They’d wanted to rent a boat and go out our selves, but I’d heard so many good things about Ronnie and his company, Fish Hook Charters, that my vote was on him. He supplied some pretty heavy duty tackle and bait and his 34’ Crusader with Volvo engines was pretty powerful. He has another boat too, a 43’ vessel that is also air conditioned. In any case, we went out to fish and catch some sun.
I’ve never taken another Little River fishing excursion that was as much fun as this one was. We had a lot of laughs and caught a lot of fish. I think the only reason I was able to get a couple of the bigger fish at all was because of Ronnie’s electronics to find them with and the tournament-grade tackle that enabled me to strong arm them into the boat. Had we taken our little boat out like my buddies wanted to we’d have been using fairly lightweight tackle compared to what we had this day.
Anyhow, a shout out to Ronnie and his Little River fishing charter company. He’s been fishing for more than 25 years and can take you out trolling, live baiting or bottom fishing. He specializes in inshore and offshore private charters along North Myrtle Beach’s South Carolina coastline.
I Found a New Dentist
Lots of people stick with the same dentist for 20 or more years without any concern with whether they could do better or cheaper. I confess that I was one of those people until my dentist retired and moved to Florida. That rather left me out in the cold, so to speak. Since I live in Ocean Isle I did a Google search for Ocean Isle Beach NC dentist. What I found to explore was a dental group in Shallotte, North Carolina, not far from here. The name of their practice is Atlantic Dental Associates.
I’m a little nervous about people who enjoy using sharp objects like needles on others so I asked for a consultation first. They were happy to oblige and I told them about my experience with my former Ocean Isle Beach NC dentist. I was quite taken by their kind manner and understanding nature from the receptionist right up through the ranks to the dentist. I felt reassured once my apprehension was addressed in a way that comforted me.
I made an appointment with the dentist that I’m hopeful will be replacing my former Ocean Isle Beach NC dentist. I look forward to a long and happy relationship with him in excess of 20 years. I don’t think I’ll be losing this one to retirement anytime soon.
FMCSA Says Size Does Matter
I found it puzzling to learn that the new FMCSA sleep apnea standards includes recommendations that only CDL holders with a body mass index of 30 or higher be referred for sleep apnea testing.
Granted, sleep apnea is a serious disorder that interrupts a person’s breathing during sleep, and I realize how serious that is. People with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly while sleeping. I get that. And it’s true that the lack of adequate and restful sleep can show itself during the day in various ways, putting people behind the wheels of automobiles in harms way.
They believe that certain physical features, such as excessive weight, are common to people with sleep apnea, although people who aren’t obese can suffer it as well. That’s what puzzles me about the FMCSA sleep apnea standards. A BMI of 30 or greater – 220 pounds for a 6-foot-tall person – puts people at risk for developing obesity-related medical conditions such as sleep apnea but how can they just select these people for testing and not everyone. Surely there are plenty of drivers who aren’t overweight that have OSA too.
The FMCSA sleep apnea standards support the belief that proper treatment of everyone with OSA will lead to significant health-care savings for trucking fleets. Even more importantly is that it will lead to a significant reduction in accidents and highway fatalities but only if all drivers are referred, not just a select group.
In Case of a Spill, Plug the Drains
We recently had an oil spill at my place of employment. We have a haz-mat team trained in how to deal with these issues directly but in general everyone has at least some training in spills. For instance, we know how to handle a spill in the immediate area of where we work. For me, I’m using liquids and there’s a drain near by. I know where the drain plugs are that is my first line of defense in the case of a spill — plug the drains.
Oil spills are hazardous to the health of people as well as to the environment. The hazards include fumes, ignitions, asphyxiation, burns, water contamination, soil contamination and fire. In case of an oil spill make sure you know what to do. Immediate measures can help the oil spill from spreading.
Emergencies can often be a confusing time. So to make it easier, they taught us to remember the 3 C’s of handling any accidental spills. These are control, contain, and clean up.
Here’s what to remember when you have to contain an oil spill:
1. If the oil or chemicals are near any type of drainage be sure to seal those with drain plugs.
2. Surround the oil spill with spill booms or socks. Enclose (ie. contain) the area of contamination.
3. Be sure you have secured all exit points for the spill.

elevated platform
With just 4 components that Erectastep had in stock our company was able to make our production facility and warehouse 100% accessible 100% of the time. That is simply incredible! Many of our needs required stairs and a elevated platform configuration. They had that.
They have a large variety of aluminum stair and work platform components from which we could make unlimited configurations. The components consist of industrial handrails, universal work platforms, aluminum stairs, and tower platform supports. I’ll tell you a little about each one.

Folding wheelchair ramps
When it comes to transporting wheelchairs and scooters, it’s important to choose ramps that have been specifically built for this purpose. Folding wheelchair ramps should be safety tested and be rated for a specific weight capacity.
Folding wheelchair ramps should be lightweight for easy handling. But it also has to be strong enough to hold a wheelchair or scooter, as well as the weight of the person in it, and possibly the weight of the person pushing the chair. Aluminum is strong and durable yet lightweight. Because wheelchair ramps need to be transported from place to place they fold conveniently.
Be sure the portable Folding wheelchair ramps you choose is wide enough to work with whatever wheel configuration the wheelchair or scooter has. The longer the ramp, the heavier it will be, so ramps are often designed to come apart into two separate sections, making them easier to use, carry, and store.

Aspen Colorado Lodging
My wife and I planned a trip to Aspen for our 18th wedding anniversary this past February. We needed suggestions about Aspen Colorado Lodging, where to stay, etc., as we had no idea about the area. Living in the south and loving cold weather and snow, I’ve always dreamed of going somewhere, sitting in a lodge by a nice, warm fireplace and seeing nothing but snow!! We searched online for places to stay, and ultimately settled on the Aspen Highland Residence Club. We don’t ski, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t enjoy the snow! Of all places to stay in the town of Aspen, I do believe we found our own little piece of heaven right there. We both highly recommend this place!
