Shrinking Jug Keeps Milk Fresh For Another Week

Check this out from Dvice.com

Shrinking Jug Keeps Milk Fresh For Another Week

That is so cool!  I want one.  All you do is pour your new gallon of milk into it and then close it.  When you want some milk you just push the button and the milk pours into your glass or cereal bowl and the container shrinks in the process.  Since we always buy 2 gallons of milk I think it would be appropriate to buy 2 of these.  Although if one of these containers cost $20 - $100 then perhaps 1 will do lol.

It works by keeping the air out so when you open the milk it starts going bad because the air does something to it... just read the article, it makes more sense when they say what it does.

Obama's Beef with Cambridge Police

By now everyone who has a television or reads a newspaper or even surfs the internet (and if none of those you at least have a friend who told you) you know about this whole thing with Obama saying the word "stupidly" about the Cambridge police about their arrest of the Harvard professor in his home.

Well little did you know, Obama has a reason to be so spiteful.  Check this out:

'Scofflaw' Obama Grudge Against Cambridge Police?

Now, I would think that you, as a president, who wanted to hide this before running for president would want to keep quiet about all of your deadbeat years.  But nooooo you just had to say something that made people dig up your past showing us your true colors.

I don't talk about certain things in my blog that would offend anyone such as religion and politics but I just had to add this article.

Back Meds

I went to the neurologist today for my regular appointment for my carpel tunnel syndrome and I mentioned the problems with my back and they gave me a steroid and a muscle relaxer.

I have to take one of them every 8 hours and the other one I have to take 6 pills today, 5 tomorrow 4 day after, 3 day after that, 2 day after that and then 1 on the last day.

I really hope this pain is gone at the end of this because I really want to resume my exercise.  I'm going to add strength exercises as well because I think that my back muscles just were not prepared for this new seat.

Back Pain

Well apparently this back pain is a bit more severe than I thought.  I just called the chiropractors office that I used to go to in 2005 and had to leave a message so I hope they get it by tonight so I can make an appointment to hopefully come in tomorrow morning.  I have a doctors appointment with the neurologist for my carpel tunnel syndrome near where they used to be but they aren't too far from there so I will be able to walk there from my neurologist.

I was thinking of bringing my bike with me but I don't have the proper locks and I'm afraid that my new seat and/or my wheels will get stolen.  I don't have the money to buy 2 new locks/chains so I'm screwed and have to walk there from the bus stop in pain lol.  Maybe I can think of something though, we have some padlocks that maybe I can borrow from what they are locking and look for some chain that I can use.  Now that I think about it I'm going to start looking for those so I can at least chain up my seat for now.  I really don't feel like walking all that way tomorrow especially with this back pain.

Cyclone Diet

cyclonediet2I don't remember when I bought this, maybe 2002 or 2003.  But it's supposed to help you lose 10lbs in 48 hours.  I'm not sure if it worked or not, I highly doubt it though.  I think that you are supposed to drink 3 packets a day for 2 days and nothing else for the rest of the time and you will lose 10lbs.

It's basically something that will clean out your system.  You know when you have to get prepared for a colonoscopy?  You have to drink this liquid for a certain amount of hours the night before your test and you are going to the bathroom every 5 minutes.  It's basically the same concept except I don't exactly remember going to the bathroom as much.  Then again it was so long ago.

The best thing I liked about this diet was that it comes with a cup that has a blender in it.  It's not a blender in the respect that it crushes ice but more like it just blends a powder into a liquid.  I use it for mixing my slim fast when I'm not using ice when I just want to mix the powder into the milk.  I suppose you could do the same thing with your iced tea lol.  Just add your ice and your tea then put your sugar or sweetener and press the button and it mixes the sugar.  No need for a tea spoon.

Since this product has been discontinued what else am I supposed to do with the cup?

Stackable Fridge

unifridgeGot roommates who just won't stop eating your labeled food?  Here is a solution.  This is a really good thing for roommates especially ones who are in college.

They don't have locks on them and that's probably a good idea to put on them but other than that it's a pretty good idea.  It also saves energy because it has 1 power source which is on the bottom.  When you open 1 little compartment you aren't letting out all the cool air.

I just wish that I was in college because I wouldn't mind having one lol.  This would actually be great for work, you could have your own cube fridge with your name on it at work so you can leave your lunch in there and maybe even some other food and not worry that someone is stealing your food while you aren't at work.
