My Paranormal Life

Detox your body - SP

2008-07-16T00:00:00.000-07:00

Orovo detox combines multiple ingredients including superfoods that help to detoxify the body of toxins and poisons that have built up.

They say a major contributor to weight gain is the build up of toxins in the body, they say their product van help combat this and help one to loose weight.

I myself wouldn't know if this product would help detoxify the body, but it sounds pretty interesting anyway.

DNA Testing - SP

2008-07-09T07:00:00.000-07:00

For the life of me I have no idea why I would ever go through DNA testing, maybe to trace my heritage or something or maybe that future Mrs is a bad girl, maybe I'll be a bad boy, beats me.

I sure hope there's no serious crime in my future, that would suck, so back to my first point, I have no idea why I would.

Ellipticals - SP

2008-07-09T06:53:00.000-07:00

So that's what they call them, ellipticals, I always thought of them as walking machines or something.

Could be nice, low impact workout and all. I find them fairly hypnotizing, round and round they go, it's almost like your not exercising at all, though I'm sure that's not the case.

There's actually some pretty affordable equipment on that page, I thought they'd all be very expensive.

A good buy - SP

2008-07-09T06:45:00.000-07:00

I have very little experience with buying stuff online, I know how to sell items through online shopping services though. Looking for the best buy could probably help, easy to cross check items from many source etc.

Well actually before I go to a shop and buy anything I always do my research first online, that way I know what I want and don't want upon entering a store.

Old and New Meet, what's up at paranormal Activities

2008-07-08T10:54:00.000-07:00

Was just checking some stats and it was funny to see that MPL and Paranormal Activities are competing with each other for keywords lol.

Anyway, it feels like I've got my groove back, I'm starting to post more regularly again, I hope that continues.

Other than that I've been trying to get an integrated forum up and running over at PA, but for the now it's a little tricky for my understanding. I'm also slowly adding sections and features and organizing everything, also working on some graphics for the site.

I'd just like to remind everyone that I won't be posting to much to MPL from now on and if you want to follow me over to my new venture please do. You can subscribe to Paranormal Activities feed here. Also I'd just like to mention to all the bloggers and webmasters who visit MPL that you add your site/blog the PAs paranormal directory, you don't have to return the favor at all.

Well to finish off below are the latest blog entries over at Pa, just click on the thumbnail image to be taken over.

Cleansing - SP

2008-07-03T20:11:00.000-07:00

I'm sure I've done one for a colon cleanser before, oh well. It's gotta be good to detox, but can it be done trough taking pills?

I guess if it had the right stuff in them it would work, but I have no experience detoxing at all, at best I retox every time I have a night on the booze.

Thought to get over my hangover I usually drink lots of water, sometimes with lemon in it, works pretty well. Another thing I do is to get active, go for a jog or something, seems to work to, though at first it be pretty painful.

Label Stock - SP

2008-06-25T19:46:00.000-07:00

I have pretty much no idea what Thermal labels are, so I guess it's time for some brief research.

Ok as far as I can gather they're stickers that come out of a label maker machine which transfers an image onto the material using a ribbon, I guess like a typewriter. There also seems to be multiple stock materials, the main two seem to be paper and synthetic, both with different levels of durability.

On another note, I learned that it's not "make ends meat" rather it's "make ends meet"

Certainly makes more sense.

Treatment - SP

2008-06-20T06:04:00.000-07:00

I really don;t know what to say about pharmaceutical companies, a simple course of antibiotics can relieve so much pain, eye drops can make people see again.

The problem I see is that just like water and regular meals, every one needs them and what better position than to profit from it.

Surely there's companies out there with peoples best interests as their core, there's got to be right?

Well, when the fight against HIV/Aids is quite a battle, it can't all be about profit can it?

Paranormal Activities Features

2008-06-18T05:36:00.000-07:00

I'm starting to get a little confused, I'm adding new features to Paranormal Activities everyday, but I've calmed down a bit and I think it's time to review.

First off the homepage, first thing you'll probably see is the features gallery, it looks like a slide show, this is for blog posts that I feel need a little extra attention. Then we have the blog excerpts, quick snippets from blog posts along with thumbnails for easy browsing, click on through to read the rest or watch the videos, the rest should be pretty self explanatory.

Next is the image gallery, makes things easy and pretty and I'm looking forward to adding to it and playing around.

Lastly is the paranormal directory, located through the nav-bar link "links". I was going to use a blogroll on a page, but I found a pretty powerful wordpress plugin that makes it easy to create and maintain a directory.

It's fully automated, there's a drop down form where you can add your links, it has categories and for me is far more exciting than a blogroll. If you have a paranormal blog or site please feel free to add it to the directory.

Well that kind of helped, I still feel a little lost in the options, but hey I'm gonna let it settle in for a few days and work on getting some blog posts out.

See ya at Paranormal Activities,

Rand

Micro Cards - SP

2008-06-18T05:30:00.000-07:00

I think my computer takes these micro sd cards, I don't have one myself but I have plenty of other makes, it just so convenient having a card for my camera with big space that I don't have to worry about storage when I go on vacation, just my camera, pull it out and snap away, I have really good batteries to.

The sad thing about all this digital storage is that sooner or later film will become a specialty item.

Wine Refrigerators - SP

2008-06-18T05:24:00.000-07:00

It's the same every year, every winter the media goes crazy over New Zealands energy crisis, it's the same with news fluff about whether coffee is good or bad for us, ever 6 dang months.

The latest media rush is for NZ to get rid of their old beer refrigerators, I guess that's a good thing really, why not replace them with wine refrigerators, I could fit a fair few crate bottle in one of these.

Introducing the new site

2008-06-16T07:52:00.000-07:00

In my last post I asked if I should share the new site with everyone, well I got a comment that clinched it, I'd never looked at it the way the commentator put it "Let us in now...it's kind of cool to see a new site from the beginning. :)".

I've been very stand offish with my blogging, I've never gotten out of the mindset of being a blogger that no one reads, I never really ask for help and most of the time I feel I inconvenience people, I don't know.

Anyway I think it's time to let some of that go, time to move forward and time to let you fellas have a say.

I'd like to introduce everyone to Paranormal Activities, the unfinished paranormal site that's fully operational, well for blogging anyway.

As it stands it's a blank canvas that I hope will form with the input of it's visitors. There's so much that could be added to it, the only thing is I don't know what y'all will find useful, so we'll start here and see what happens.

So please visit, leave a comment and tell me what y'all think. It's been a lonely few weeks that's for sure.

Do you guys want to see the new site?

2008-06-13T07:06:00.000-07:00

So basically I think the new site is ready, minimal at the moment but ready for posts, I still need to do some drawings for the design of the site and also have to add a lot of content.

I could probably tinker with the site for months before it's properly finished, but man that's just to long to wait, but then again, maybe I should hold back. So should I share the new site or hold off until it's a little more complete.

What should I do?

More Memory - SP

2008-06-13T06:58:00.000-07:00

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you want to play the latest PC game you'll need a lot of system memory for your computer.

Even if you want to work faster on your computer more memory will help. Now I don't have heaps of RAM on my computer, but it is still very fast, in fact a couple days ago a friend was using it and they were amazed just how fast it was.

I don't know, I think it may be time to get off of this gravy train, I'm starting to sound like an ad.

Ipods - SP

2008-06-13T06:49:00.000-07:00

My brother has one of those video ipods, it was actually mine but I didn't use it so I gave it to him.

It was pretty nifty, dump my music on it along with home movies and videos, but really, my cell phone does just as good a job. These days it seems I'm getting overloaded with gadgets, so I think I'll wait for a gadget that has it all with a very long life.

Update new site

2008-06-06T09:03:00.000-07:00

Just a quick update on the new site, every thing's coming together nicely but the little tweaks are taking awhile to get right, though it shouldn't take to long.

Once the sites ready there'll be a bunch of posts and content for everyone to explore.

Anoretix - SP

2008-06-06T08:46:00.000-07:00

Anoretix is a weight lose solution, who would have thought. I like the name, sounds like something from a sci-fi movie. I have no idea about the claim made on the page, seems almost to good to be true.

Though I guess along with regular exercise it may work, though exercise would probably work anyway.

RAM -SP

2008-06-06T08:41:00.000-07:00

If you want to play the latest PC games one thing you'll need is memory, decent RAM. I've got a pretty basic computer myself, with no graphics card, games come out looking pretty bad, though at least I have decent RAM and most games run smooth.

I think for my next computer I'll get a beast, I missing wasting all that time playing computer games.

I can has my own site.

2008-05-30T05:50:00.000-07:00

Blogger.com is probably the easiest thing in the world to use compared to making your own site, with blogger you don't have to worry about the back end, you don't have to worry all that much about compatibility, no worries about storage, bandwidth and lastly cost.

But with your own site comes control, you can add so much more to a site than you can do with blogger.com and that's what's taken me so long to get my head around, all the options. I hadn't realized why it was so hard to get used to or why it's taken so long, but that's it in a nutshell, with more options comes more work.

The new sites still not ready and it may be awhile before it is, I've decided to move My Paranormal Life's content onto my new Wordpress blog and I think that may take awhile, I'll hopefully be able to redirect the old posts from here to the new blog, so if you've linked to any of my posts it'll still lead to the same content.

Another thing is on this blog there's a certain level of commitment to advertisers that I'm pretty much running away from, so there will be a lot less advertisements on the new site or they'll be sectioned off so they're not in your face.

Other than that, still more set-up to do but I hope to be able to show it off in a few days, just need to get the design up.

Glass Sinks - SP

2008-05-30T05:41:00.000-07:00

Never heard of glass sinks before, they're actually pretty cool looking, I did think they'd be straight out clear glass though. I wonder if porcelain is glass, I may be barking up the wrong tree.

I guess if you're into designer glass then these will be right up your ally.

Man I've got to quit this soon.

Gyms - SP

2008-05-30T05:36:00.000-07:00

The problem with home gyms is I don't have one, I've always wanted a bench press and maybe something to help with my core, the thing is my home isn't very roomy and I don't have a garage.

If I did have a garage I'd have a punching bag for sure, get all those frustrations out and getting fit at the same time.

Great Wines - SP

2008-05-27T09:34:00.000-07:00

I'd definitely be into a wine club, I love myself a drop or two and I don't think I'd get sick of a deal like this.

It's really just a matter if the wines any good, though I guess with new wines to sample each month it really wouldn't matter.

Though I do remember that book club I belonged to, got myself some really good books, along with a bunch that weren't so good, though they made great re-gifts.

I'm still here

2008-05-27T09:27:00.000-07:00

This new site is actually a lot of hard work, I'm trying my best at learning php (I've been dreaming about moving code around) but right now it's still an up hill battle.

I'm thinking at the moment the main difference between this blog and the new one is that visitors will be able to go directly to what they're interested in as opposed to the messy system with blogger.com, plus a few more community aspects and stuff.

Hopefully it'll be time to reveal it in a few days, the bare bones that it is.

If you serve coffee make sure you have a table - SP

2008-05-23T05:45:00.000-07:00

Ever been a guest in a house where there are no coffee tables? I have been once or twice.

Well, you're sitting in the living room having a nice conversation waiting for a cup of coffee, your host arrives with a cup of up all night, it's pipping hot and it dawns on you there's no place to put it down.

What are the alternative resting places? well you could put it on the ground, though if you don't know them to well it could seem a little rude, what I usually do is a balancing act, I place the hot cup on my knee with my hand on the rim of the cup, though until it cools down enough there's a lot of knee swapping.

Now really who serves coffee without a coffee table.

On another note, I have no idea where the above came from, hopefully I'll have the new site all set by the end of next week.
