• My Contest Entry

  • From: venomking420
  • Description:

    I am a 41 year old legally blind , diabetic father of two young and two adult children. I have been legally blind and received Social Security Disability since 1995. I have been living paycheck to paycheck since then. We have somehow managed every month to pull through. I am tired but I REFUSE to give up for the love of my family.

    I have much computer skills and were all self taught. I love computers and will continue using them til the day I die.

    Here’s My Story:

    One night I dreamt that my family and I were walking on the beach and in the distance, my youngest daughter finds a magic lamp (this lamp I call, The Disability Digest) My youngest son tells me to rub the lamp and make 3 wishes. The skeptical person that I am, I did it anyway. Low and behold, A Genie pops out of the lamp (the Genie is Brian Therrien). He grants me 3 wishes.

    I first wish for $$$$ MONEY. The Genie tells me he can grant me this wish but I have to work for the money. So he directed me to use my computer skills to become an affiliate for The Disability Digest. I listened to his training videos and joined in his webinars and became an affiliate. I sent emails to friends and family and the next day, I started receiving commissions. I started to think of my second wish.

    My next wish was to be able to create a steady income and still spend time with my family. The Genie granted me my wish but in order to achieve my wish I had to check my email. I did this and the first email I opened was a very promising contest from The Disability Digest. The winner of the contest would receive a one year membership to SBI. I researched the SBI company and found that it would be perfect for me to create and start my own internet business. With the help of SBI’s membership and all the easy to follow tools, I had everything I need to have a very successful e-business. So I entered the contest and thought about my final wish.

    My third and final wish is to be a winner of the contest so I can start showing my family how to be successful in anything they choose to do in their lives if they put their minds and abilities to it. The Genie’s voicemail came on and said he would be out of town until December 2^nd. He also stated that he would possibly announce me as one of the four winners of the contest. So, Do You believe in Genies and Magic Lamps? I DO!!!

    Winning this contest WILL get me back on my feet to create a steady income supplement. I do have high hopes and dreams to make enough money for my family to live comfortably so that I do not have to be on disability for the rest of my life. All I need is to be a winner of this contest because living check to check does not get my foot in the door to all our hopes and dreams. Someone once told me…….

    “YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE UNIVERSE, LET IT SHINE!!!”

• Tips for Avoiding Summer Migra

  • From: geekygranny

    by Teri Robert, Lead Expert

    Don't let yourself get dehydrated, even a little...

    

    This is important all year, but especially in the summer. You may hear or see news reports warning about dehydration and heat stroke. Heed them. Dehydration is a major headache and Migraine trigger for many people. WHAT you drink can make a difference, too. Large quantities of soda or regular iced tea, although summer favorites, have a great deal of caffeine. Lemonade is super unless citrus is a Migraine trigger for your or your stomach is sensitive to all the acid. Water is always a good choice! Also see Dehydration - An Avoidable Migraine Trigger.

    Be respectful and careful of the sun...

    

    Summer sun can be one of our worst enemies, and I'm not talking about sunburn, even though that can be a problem. Too much time in the summer sun is another serious headache and Migraine trigger. That doesn't mean we have to stay indoors. Try hats with broad brims that keep sun off your neck and upper chest and back as well as your face. Beach umbrellas can be great at ball games and the like. You can also cool yourself down with a spray bottle of water or a cold, wet bandanna around your neck.

    Be ware of fragrance in summer products...

    

    Are you sensitive to fragrances and/or other odors? Remember that when shopping for sunscreen, insect repellent, and other summer products. Look for fragrance-free products. If you're not sure about chemical names listed in the ingredients, your pharmacist may be able to help you.

    
    Don't get caught without your sunglasses...

    

    Summer can be tough on the eyes. Invest in some good sunglasses. Polarized lenses are great because, in addition to darkening, they cut glare. If you can go for optical grade lenses, do. They aren't as likely to produce distortion as inexpensive sunglasses. Still troubled by light from around your glasses? Try a baseball cap or another type of hat to block out the sun that comes in from above the sunglasses. See Good Sunglasses - Vital for Migraine and Eye Health .

    
    Try not to stray too far from your routine...

    

    It's easy to get off schedule in the summer. It gets dark later, things seem a bit lazier. Don't let that lull you into getting off your schedule for meals and sleep. Even on vacation, be careful not to skip meals, and try to resist the temptation to indulge in trigger foods. Try to keep your sleep schedule regular, too. Remember that too much sleep can be a trigger, too, so watch out for sleeping in! See Transformed Migraine Related To Sleep Problems .

    Take care of your meds...

    

    Be aware that medications have storage temperature ranges that can easily be exceeded by summer temperatures. Prolonged exposure to higher temperatures can make your meds less effective. When traveling, keep your meds in your carry-on rather than letting it go with the luggage on a plane and in the car with you rather than in the trunk in your luggage. At home, keep your meds in a cool, dark place. Your bathroom is not the best place because of the heat and steam from the shower.

    Check your exercise routine...

    

    If you exercise outdoors or don't have air conditioning, you may need to modify your exercise routine for the summer. Summer offers options for exercise that aren't available in the winter. You may be able to swim, walk, hike, or play sports such as tennis or volleyball more in the summer. If you have questions, check with your doctor. For some easy ways to get some exercise, see 10 Ways for Migraineurs to Sneak In Some Exercise .

    Plan Ahead...

    

    Plan ahead so stress doesn't bring on tension headaches or exacerbate your Migraine triggers. When cooking, cook big batches and freeze meals. Make lists. Delegate chores to family members. Make travel reservations well in advance. Be sure your car is serviced before traveling. Mark prescription refill times on your calendar so you don't run out of meds. MAPP your Migraines and put your Migraine bag together so your headache and Migraine needs are already put together for easy traveling. See MAPP Your Migraine for more tips.

    
    Don't skimp on time for yourself...

    

    Too often, we're so busy taking care of our families or thinking about our jobs that we put off taking time for ourselves. Please take a few seconds to consider this -- If we're not at our best, how can we give our best? Take time to relax. Look around your home to see how it could be more " headache and Migraine friendly ." Do your best to take at least 30 minutes of me time each day to meditate, pray, journal, or just be quiet -- whatever you need. This will help you stay healthier, and staying healthier will help your body resist headache and Migraine triggers.

    Wrapping it up...

    

    There's no sure way to avoid every headache or Migraine, but we can take steps to minimize them and their impact. Summer is a time with many opportunities for family and fun, vacations and get-aways. When we take care of ourselves, we can keep more of the fun in summer. Enjoy!

• Is Travel Insurance Necessary?

  • From: gottitravel
  • Description:

    Do you need Travel Insurance?

    Is Travel Insurance necessary?
    
    This is one of those topics that nobody likes to discuss but everyone needs to discuss. Let’s face it. You need travel insurance when you go on a trip. Buying it before you leave is a necessary part of travel planning. Travel is an uncertain activity that can often go wrong. We are fallible, fragile human beings whose lives can never be entirely uneventful, and who sometimes fall ill while traveling, or need to cancel a trip for a dozen reasons, or interrupt it in mid-course. We need travel insurance and it’s easy and inexpensive to obtain. The most basic type of coverage costs about $5.50 per every thousand covered. However, prices will vary by the type of coverage you choose and the traveler’s age. All travel vendors offer some type of cancellation or trip interruption insurance and those policies can be included in the cost of the trip whether you book them on line or directly with the vendor.
    
    Think you don’t need insurance. Think again. These are some typical situations all covered by various policies. Without insurance, what would you do?
    
    It’s 10PM and your family arrives at the airport for a connecting flight only to find that the flight has been cancelled. How do you get your family home?
    
    Your traveling companion’s bag was lost with his insulin inside. He needs help to locate his bag as soon as possible and his emergency prescription filled. Who do you call?
    
    Your first trip to Europe, and your passport and wallet are stolen. Where do you turn for emergency cash, and how will you get your passport replaced?
    
    Your spouse is involved in an accident and adequate medical treatment is not available. Who will help arrange and pay for a medical evacuation?
    
    Your cruise line, airline or tour operator goes bankrupt. Who will pay for your non-refundable expenses? Who will help get you to your destination?
    
    If your sister-in-law becomes seriously ill and you choose to cancel your trip, what happens to your non-refundable deposits or pre-payments?
    
    You are at a beach resort in North Carolina, and are forced to evacuate due to an approaching hurricane. Who will help you evacuate and who will reimburse your lost vacation?
    Selecting the right type of travel insurance can cover all of these situations.
    
    If you are like most of us, you don’t just look forward to your vacations, you need them. Protect your vacation investment. Missing a vacation is bad enough. Losing the money you paid for a vacation is even worse. Everyone needs travel insurance for every trip. Don’t leave home without it.

• Cruising for the Disabled Trav

    Travel for the Disabled
    Carribean Cruising for the Disabled
    by Candy Harrington
  Cruising is often billed as the most accessible vacation option, but some cruise vacations are just more accessible than others. The key lies not only in selecting an accessible ship, but also in choosing an accessible itinerary. Generally speaking, Hawaiian and Alaskan cruises offer the best port access; however access is gradually improving in some Caribbean ports. Granted, accessible offerings are still limited in this region, but with a little research you can now enjoy a nicely accessible Eastern Caribbean cruise.

  The Ship
  Although many cruise lines sail Eastern Caribbean routes, Royal Caribbean International (RCI) continually tops the list access-wise. Today, RCI’s two Freedom class ships, the Freedom of the Seas and the Liberty of the Seas , sail Eastern Caribbean routes and offer excellent access on board.

  These sister ships each offer 32 accessible cabins with level thresholds, wide doorways and good pathway access. The accessible bathrooms include a full five-foot turnaround with a roll-under sink, grab bars in the shower and around the toilet, and a spacious roll-in shower with a hand-held showerhead and a fold-down shower bench. Access is excellent throughout the public areas of the ship too, with pool and Jacuzzi lifts, an accessible golf course, and even roll-in showers in the spa. And in true RCI fashion, a very attentive staff will see to your every need.

  The Freedom class sisters sail from Miami, and call on St. Thomas, San Juan, St. Maarten, and Labadee. Here’s a roundup of accessible shore options in those ports.

  St. Thomas
  For those passengers who don’t want to venture off too far, the Havensight Dockside Mall operates a free lift-equipped shuttle to and from the dock. Approximately 80 percent of Havensight's shops have a level entry. Alternatively, Accessible Adventures ( www.accessvi.com ) offers a 2.5-hour island tour in a lift-equipped, open-air trolley, while St. Thomas Dial A Ride (340-776-1277) conducts customized island tours in their lift-equipped bus.

  San Juan
  Wheelchair Transportation and Tours (800-868-8028) offers island tours in lift-equipped vehicles, while Victor of Countryside Tours (787-593 9014), can craft an accessible walking tour of Old San Juan. And if you’d just like to explore on your own, then check out some of the open-air vendors near the dock in Old San Juan, or try your luck at the casino in the Sheraton Hotel, directly across from Pier 3. Both feature level access.

  St. Maarten
  On St. Maarten, Louis Jeffers (+599-524 9204) offers island tours in his lift-equipped van. Alternatively, visitors can roll into Philipsburg on the accessible path from the cruise ship pier. Although not all shops and restaurants are accessible, some have level entrances.

  Labadee
  RCI’s private island offers roll-on tender access for wheelchairs and scooters. Over on the island, there are plenty of beach wheelchairs at the tender dock, with porters to push you around. There is also an accessible tram that runs around the island. A barbecue lunch is served at noon, followed by entertainment. Even if you aren’t a beach person, give Labadee a try!
