An Old Gamer

Way Off Topic No Comments »

As an older gamer, I have many aches and pains that I didn’t have when I was younger. One I have recently developed has been a sore thumb that flares up especially when I play Guitar Hero. Moving hasn’t helped my condition with all the repairs we have been doing. Luckily I can use Freeze It to help get some relief from the pain. Freeze It works for hours and a little goes a long way.

Freeze It is a topical pain relief product that comes in either a tube or a roll on. I have the roll on since even though Freeze It is non-greasy and not messy, working it into a muscle or joint can cause the gel to work on your hand. Using the roll on means that I just apply Freeze It exactly where it needs to go. Plus the roll on travels better in my purse. Here is my testimonial for just how much I like this product for pain relief.

The best part of Freeze It is that it is long lasting. It’s been a few hours since I applied Freeze It and I can see feel it working. As an older gamer, I have less time to game, so I can’t let an injury stand in my way of playing my favorite games. Thanks to Freeze It I can enjoy Guitar Hero even after a day of painting.

Wii at Wal-Mart

I had to run to Wal-Mart and of course had to run through the game section. They had in stock two Nintendo Wiis. I had to get out of there fast before I charged it. Oy Vey. I don’t know how much longer I can last.

It was easy before to want a Wii and not have one since you couldn’t find them in town at all. My friend bought one at Sear’s earlier this year. I didn’t even know they had games at Sear’s. That’s probably the reason they had one since no one knew they carried that type of product.

These last few months I’ve seen Wiis popping up everywhere. It’s so difficult to keep passing them by. Hopefully I can hold out until closer to Christmas when we have the cash to buy. Being a grown up is so hard sometimes.

To never move again..

As readers know, I just moved to a new house the beginning of September. It was a long process and took us about a week to get everything out of our old place. We battled rain, had to buy boxes on the fly, and other obstacles stood in our way to getting moved in a timely fashion.

I know for us movers no matter how much you prepare, there is always something that you forget about. That’s where Homebulletin.net comes in very handy. Not only can they help you find movers, but they offer tips and advice for those preparing to move. For the lower 48 states, you can get moving quotes that will help you to find the best service. I just wish I had found them a few weeks ago because their resources could have made our move less stressful. Next time I will know better.

For movers, there is so much to take into account. Your stuff always takes up more room than you think. I was amazed at just how many boxes we need just to pack games and video game systems.

Hopefully it will be a long time before we move again. When we do, I will be checking with Homebulletin.net for moving tips since I’m bound to forget the moving lessons I’ve learned the hard way.

Christmas Planning

Way Off Topic No Comments »

I always like to start planning for Christmas the first of October. I like to layout a gift budget so I know exactly how much money I will need. This year will be challenging even though we are living in a cheaper place. It will be challenging because just our Christmas lists are quite expensive.

With a Wii and a 360 on the list, that pretty much wipes out my whole budget. Therefore, we won’t be getting both systems. One system might not be that hard to swing. It’s just deciding which one. I’d like a Wii, and the husband would like a 360. They both have advantages for right now. Family gaming would be so fun with the Wii, but Halo 3 just was released for the 360. It’s a tough call.

I wonder if relatives would just take an “I owe you” for a Christmas present, then we could get both.
