The Fil-Am Scene

I am visually challenged and that is why I need to wear prescription eyeglasses, especially when I am behind the wheel. I can’t see things clearly and I feel like prescription eyeglasses are now a necessity for me. At Zenni Optical I can get $6.95 prescription eyeglasses. Zenni Optical is the #1 online eyeglasses store offering high quality and stylish prescription eyeglasses. I already bought two pair of prescription sunglasses from them in the past couple of years and will be buying more soon. I need to buy new prescription eyeglasses because the ones that I bought in the Philippines six years ago are now falling apart.

I had heard about Zenni’s online store but was really skeptical at first. I could not believe that I could get a good pair of eyeglasses at such a low price until my hubby told me to give it a try. Losing my $100 pair of prescription sunglasses that I bought from a nearby store turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

I recommend Zenni to anyone that needs prescription eyeglasses. If you are looking for inexpensive prescription eyeglasses, you should check Zenni first before going somewhere else. You can’t go wrong with their products and services. They have Valentine’s Day special styles and the ones pictured above are my favorite.

My sister in-law’s dining table looks like the one shown in the picture. I don’t know if it is an amish dining table but her dining table sure looks like an amish one. I like a double pedestal table. My dining table is a double pedestal one and is already old but it is still functional. We seldom use it because most of the time when my hubby and I eat, we use the table in our living room.

The Pimp My Cube Contest is an online search for the worst, most pathetic and messiest cubicle or office ever.  They want people to make a humorous, messy, video of the worst or cubicle ever containing bad furniture, old technology disorganized space or anything else that would make it a terrible place to work in.   

I know for a fact that my hubby could easily win that contest if it weren’t for the fact that he has a really powerful computer with a 24 inch LCD monitor.  He needs that for his engineering CAD work.  Otherwise his space is a disaster. I keep nagging him to clean it and organize but if he does it is back to the old mess within just a few days.  Then he says “why bother to clean it up when it is going to get messy again”.  

If you have a really messed up work space, you should think about making a video and submitting it.  The grand prize is cube make over worth about $1200.  There are three choices for your prize package:  

o New high end computer system
o New Desk, Chair and Decorations
o New Entertainment Package with high end stereo, espresso machine etc.

Right now noone has uploaded a video so the chances of you winning are very good.  Maybe I should give it a try after all.  You should check out the PMC site and give it a try yourself.  The contest runs through January 31st, 2012 so I think I will give it a try myself.  If you think you can beat my hubby’s mess, you should go to the PMC site, register and upload your own video.

My hubby has an acetylene welder that he bought to use in his engineering business about ten years ago. He hasn’t used it since I got here and he doesn’t have any oxygen or acetylene tanks at the moment. He had leased them before but the lease ran out and he did not renew it because he wasn’t using the welder. He has thought about getting some small tanks that he would own but he hasn’t had the need for it recently and he would probably wait until he comes up with a good use for it. I came across this blog requirement for smith equipment welding accessories and I will have him check out the link when he has the need for welding accessories.

I recently found out that Walgreens and Express Scripts have parted ways.  For the past year, Walgreens has negotiated with Express Scripts to continue to be the pharmacy’s provider network.  The negotiations were unsuccessful and the contract expired.  As a result, Walgreens is no longer part of the Express Scripts network as of January 1, 2012.  This means that all Walgreens pharmacies and Duane Reade pharmacies in the New York City area are no longer included in the Express Scripts pharmacy network. 

This situation forces many pharmacy customers to go elsewhere to use their in-network pharmacy benefits for their meds.  This change of network coverage reportedly causes disruption to a lot of people, not to mention the hassle they have to go through when getting prescriptions filled at pharmacies with less convenient hours or location. 

One of Express Scripts’ clients in particular that is affected by the split is Tricare, the health prescription drug program for the US military.  In an effort to support our troops, Walgreens took the unprecedented step of offering Express Scripts guaranteed prices that would match or beat the average costs per adjusted prescription of all other pharmacies in the Tricare network.  This was done in an attempt to prevent the military personnel from being caught in the middle.  Both of these proposals were rejected by Express Scripts. 

Over the years many Express Scripts patients have developed a trusted relationship with their Walgreens pharmacists.  To minimize their disruption and convenience, Walgreens is offering a special discount on annual membership for the Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens.  If you are affected by the network change, let your voice be heard by following Walgreens on Twitter and by subscribing to Walgreens on Facebook.

I logged onto www.clearwirelessinternet4g.com and scheduled an appointment to get a new internet service provider. I have recently decided to work from home and I need a really good internet connection. I recently quit my nine to five to pursue a career where I work on my hobby. I love to sew. I have loved to sew since I was a little kid. My grandmother taught me how. I have started a business using the website Etsy.com. I make custom cocktail dresses from vintage patterns. I have been collecting patterns for years. I get orders from women through the website. They send their measurements and describe the materials and patterns that they want to use. I usually charge anywhere between two hundred and four hundred dollars per custom creation. So far, I have been getting a lot of business. My customers and clients seem to be really satisfied with all my work. I truly go to work everyday and don’t feel like I am going to work. I feel like I am having fun. I am glad that I decided to work from home, it is liberating!
