Why Are People Fascinated With Celebrity Deaths?

Wednesday, March 31, 2010

Why are people so fascinated with the death of a celebrity? Is it because we feel a connection to a particular person through their work, or is it simply morbid curiosity? When a celebrity passes away, it seems that people come out of the woodwork to express their grief. Where were these people during this person's life? In some cases, we feel as if we know these celebrities through their movies, television shows, or music, so perhaps we feel like a part of our past is gone.

Unfortunately, the more gruesome the death, the more airtime it gets from the media. They talk about respecting the privacy of the family, as they continue to replay the events leading up to the individual's death. Obviously people are watching, because the Internet is flooded with people trying to get a glimpse of every detail. People say that celebrities are public figures, therefore, every aspect of their lives is in the spotlight. If it were our loved ones, would we want one of the most devastating moments of our lives replayed over and over again for everyone to analyze?

Why do people become more interested in celebrities after their death? If someone wasn't interested in a celebrity during their life, why are they suddenly a dedicated fan? There are celebrities who haven't done anything particularly noteworthy in their lives, yet they are adored by many simply because of their physical appearance.

You don't have to be a celebrity to make a difference in someone's life, and you may never realize the impact that your life has on someone else. Be thankful for the people who have made a positive impact on your life, and let them know how important they are before it's too late!

Hope For Tomorrow

Tuesday, March 30, 2010

When someone is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, they should be given the opportunity to explore every possible means of restoring their health in order to achieve the quality of life that they desire. The diagnosis of cancer often leaves people with a feeling of hopelessness, and mesothelioma disease is considered one of the more aggressive forms of cancer.

Hope is essential, and I found a book that will encourage you and show you how others are surviving, and where to find doctors who can help you. Paul Kraus was diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer in 1997, and is the author of the best selling mesothelioma book called "Surviving Mesothelioma". In his book, he offers practical advice on how he survived so that others will be encouraged to beat the odds.

Mesothelioma prognosis varies according to many different factors, and if you're entitled to compensation, you need to find a qualified mesothelioma lawyer. Be sure to find a doctor who is willing discuss all of your available options. This is your life, and you need to make sure that you have all of the available information possible. Don't be afraid to get as many opinions as necessary until you feel comfortable with a particular course of treatment.

Mesothelioma asbestos dangers are well documented, and finding a mesothelioma attorney who specializes in these types of cases is essential. There are three different types of asbestos with "blue" being considered the most dangerous. Regardless of the cause of mesothelioma, there are treatment options available. Learn how others are surviving, and don't settle for the first treatment options that are given to you without considering all of your options. You need to be your own advocate, and do what's best for you once you have all the facts.

Should You Use Antibacterial Soap?

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Antibacterial cleansers are designed for use in hospitals and clinics, not for use in the homes of healthy people. Dan Chang, PhD, a professor of environmental engineering at U.C. Davis, reports that antibacterial products may do more harm than good. Regular washing with soap and water is sufficient to wash away dirt and germs. Repeatedly washing with alcohol sanitizers causes skin cells to break down, allowing skin to become increasingly susceptible to harmful bacteria and other organisms. Chemicals in antibacterial soap such as triclosan and triclocarban have the potential to affect sex hormones and interfere with the nervous system.

Spraying counter tops and other surfaces with antibacterial cleanser causes some chemicals to linger, continuing to kill some bacteria, but not all of them. This allows the remaining bacteria to build up a tolerance and become resistant. Good bacteria lives on our skin, and antibacterial cleansers kill the beneficial bacteria as well. We need these bacteria to fight off disease causing germs and common infections.

The traditional advice is still the best. Wash hands with soap and warm water for at least 15-20 seconds. Make sure to scrub between your fingers and under fingernails. Always use a clean, dry towel to dry hands completely. Natural cleansers are best as many soaps may also contain harsh, drying chemicals. Last but not least...keep your hands out of mucous membranes!

I See What You're Talking About

I'm always looking for ways to save money, but I don't want to sacrifice quality. Low prices are no deal if you're not getting a quality product. Now you can have both! By cutting out the middleman, you can save money on a variety of products. After reading a rave review from examiner.com, I checked out a company that makes their own brand of high-quality, inexpensive eyeglasses. They're called Zenni Optical, and they sell complete prescription glasses from only $8.00. These are great glasses that come in a variety of materials including, titanium, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, memory titanium, and plastic or acetate.

Everyone wants to feel confident while wearing their eyeglasses, and children are no exception. Zenni offers a great selection of children's frames, and they come in an assortment of colors. I try to teach my children to take care of their posessions, but accidents happen. The eyeglasses from Zenni don't cost a fortune, so if something does happen to them, you don't have to save a few hundred dollars to buy another pair. Children's glasses range in price from $8.00 to $29.95.

Single vision glasses are typically delivered approximately two weeks after you place your order. Bi-focal and progressive glasses may take 2 and a half to 3 weeks from the date of your order. Additional options including tinting or anti-glare may be purchased, however, these glasses will add several days to shipping time. In order to bring customers these glasses at such great prices, they are shipped directly from the manufacturer overseas. So, if you want a great pair of eyeglasses and you're able to wait a couple of weeks for them to arrive, check out the beautiful frames from Zenni Optical.

Surviving Mesothelioma

Monday, March 8, 2010

I'm a firm believer in natural remedies and the body's ability to heal itself when given the proper nutrition. Why is it that natural healing methods using nutrients that our body needs are considered "alternative", while pharmecutical medications containing chemicals that are often dangerous are considered "conventional treatments"? I'm thankful for medications as a last resort or in an emergency situation, but I believe in using nutrition to help your body heal itself before running to the pharmacy. The diagnosis of cancer often leaves people with a feeling of hopelessness, and mesothelioma is considered one of the more aggressive forms of cancer.

We're Already Making Plans for Our Tax Refund

Tuesday, March 2, 2010

We actually got a tax refund this year, and my husband has decided that he's going to use some of the money to fix up his truck. He loves working on his truck, and I love riding in big trucks, but our truck doesn't always get the attention it deserves because it seems like it's always getting put aside for one reason or another. I don't get as excited as he does about cars and trucks, but this literider tonneau cover is pretty cool! This roll-up cover can open or close in seconds. It's durable enough to handle the heavy use that it's going to get at our house, and it looks nice on any truck. This cover is tougher and longer lasting than any other roll-up tonneau cover, so I thought I'd share it with any truck enthusiasts out there.
