Air Duct Cleaning is it worth it?

I was thinking about getting my air ducts in my home cleaned. I found a pretty good information page which you can read

http://www.air-techinternational.com/homeprep.html

I think it is a good idea but I did not realize it would probably cost 500 dollars or so. Also it is kind of scary thinking how much damage a bad person could do. I guess they need to be licensed and such. I guess I am lazy also because I dont want them taking off all the painted air vents I currently have.

Extra Deep Queen Fitted Sheet from Preciousbedding.com

So I need only the fitted sheet not the whole set and I do not want to pay a ton of money. Those over 21 inch deep pocket sets queen size run over $150 usually. Anyway so I think I found the solution over at http://www.preciousbedding.com/ They seem to have fitted sheets that fit up to 22 inch deep pockets and for pretty cheap also.

UPDATE: Got my sheet from preciousbedding.com fine. I would give them a good review, the sheet came quickly and the price is right. I would use them again.

You search for that on amazon and order and you are golden.

So I have a little fungus on my nail, my toenail that is. It is from all those antibiotics I had to take for a while. It is not that bad but I hate having any sort of fungus on my nail so I need to find out about this tea tree oil nonsense.

What to do if you win the lottery aka megamillions

What would I do if I won the lottery, it got a few of us thinking at work. So of course I had to go to the web and google up some information.

I thought this article was a good place to start.

Scabies from a massage?

Well it is possible I guess. I got scabies from a massage at an upscale place in Chatham NJ. After my wife finally realizes I did’nt cheat on her to get this, we track it back to a massage person that also worked at an old person’s home and had come from there right before giving me a massage. Scabies is one of those really nasty things, but the itching it gives you is out of this world. My wife was also pregnant, but at least they did’nt make her use the lotion. You can find great information about scabies at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dpd/parasites/scabies/factsht_scabies.htm and information about the Permethrin Lotions at http://www.medicinenet.com/permethrin-topical_cream/article.htm. Didn’t take too long after the lotion to go away and after waiting a year I finally got another massage, but I always ask the massage lady if she works with older people at a home before getting a massage.
