Man Dives into Croc’s Mouth

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

A man on vacation in Australia recently decided to swim at sunset. He waded out to waist deep water and plunged into a wave.

He said the sensation was like diving and then hitting rocks, but that this rock was moving. He was drink at the time, and knows he got off lucky. The croc let him go.

He went to his campsite and slept for 7 hours, then woke up and got to a hospital. He received 40 stitches around his eye and cheek.

I think he has a new lease on life and recognizes it.

Mold Removal

Saturday, October 20th, 2007

This is a damp, cold wet time of year. Some basements are damp or wet as well, and is often the case in older homes. If you have a leak , please get that taken care of, it will not get better on its own and the problem will only become compounded with time.

If your basement is unsealed it may become damp, and we know that darkness combined with moisture and dampness will produce mold. Mold is definitely undesirable and in a few cases downright harmful, one of the worst molds is a variety commonly called “black mold”.

If you got mold, deal with it immediately! It spreads, and fast. Have professionals come and look and give you at least their opinion. You certainly do no want this to overrun your home. You will notice it first by smell. Do not rely on your eyes. If you do indeed smell it, contact a New York mold removal specialist to come and assist you in purging your home of this foul fungi.

Deer 1.5 Miles from Shore

Saturday, October 20th, 2007

These guys rescued a deer that was swimming 1 and a half miles from the shore. What on earth was a deer doing out there?? They think he was swimming all night.

At first they mistook it for a seal and wondered what a seal was doing out that way, after watching it for a time they recognized it for what it was and the deer made a beeline for the boat, presuming it was a bit of land. Once it got close and recognized there was humans there it shied away. But one of the men tossed a lasso on him and reeled him in the boat where the deer collapsed from exhaustion.

They made for the shore and deposited the deer there, with a promise to come see him on “opening day” .

Blinds

Friday, October 19th, 2007

Blinds are in season right now, something about autumn I suppose. Maybe people feel like they are fortifying against winter when they do that. My mother does it too. She gets new Blinds annually. This particular provider of blinds has a great selection and several options depending on your taste and budget. They are the only provider of blinds used on the show Extreme Makeover, so I urge you to browse the site, as you will see the blinds found in the episodes.

I prefer blinds to shades myself, for both the way they look and they way they work. I like the directional ones best as they let in as much light as you let them, and sometimes in direct sun I have real problems seeing my computer screen but, I prefer natural light to electric light, so having the ability to adjust is something I really like.

If you are a fan of blinds too, do yourself the favor and at least look. I guarantee you will find a “must have” on their site.

Lost Autistic Person Found

Friday, October 19th, 2007

Jacob Allen the autistic man who wandered away from his family during a camping trip in the West Virginia wilderness was found. He was missing for four long days. His family has been terribly worried, and many many people searched for him.

The problem was compounded by the fact he does not speak, so searchers were told he would not likely call out to them, and they worried they may walk past him. The searchers called out “Come out Jay, we have ice cream for you” in the hope he may come out of anywhere where he may be hiding.

He is 18, but has the faculties of a 4 year old. His mom felt bad they promised
ice cream, but obviously they didnt have ice cream in a remote location. So shes throwing him an ice cream party when they get home.

He was found in a clearing, asleep. He was hungry and weak, but seemed okay other than that.
Rescuers gave him peanut butter sandwiches and candy bars before heading back down the mountain.
