I was looking online for a cool project to do this spring and I came across a video on making a very simple boat out of plywood. Yes, a plywood boat! It’s actually very interesting to say the least. I thought I would put it up here in this blog to see what you all thought of it.
So what is the deal? Do you think I could do it and have some fun this summer with it?
My sons are really into music a lot. It all started with a harmonica for my youngest and my oldest discovered the keyboard. My youngest has progressed onto the the guitar now. My older son is now interested in the bass. I don’t know if I should go with an electric bass or an acoustic bass. Both are really cool, but I am more inclined towards the acoustic bass since I am not so much into electric instruments. I like the more natural sound that comes from acoustic instruments. I guess it all depends on what you are into.
I just wish I could make a good decision for the kids. I want them to get an instrument that they can have with them for years to come and enjoy the music that they can make. Music is one of the best ways to express yourself through art. I want my kids to have that gift for life, even though I never got it when I was younger.
I am trying to learn Russian. I know that may sound crazy, but I’d really like to learn Russian for a trip I am planning to take to Russia this summer. It’s been a long time dream of mine to visit Russia and finally it will be coming true.
Russian is very difficult to learn, but I found a Rosetta Stone course online and it has made it a little easier. It’s not perfect but it’s a good stepping stone combined with learning the Cyrillic alphabet. I am trying to make sure I can read Russian so that I can at least get around with all the signs.
Any suggestions for learning more Russian?
I have recently gotten into hats once again. I’ve always wore a cap but when I was younger, I had a good collection of different hats. Once again, I have embarked on the same thing. I recently picked up a Russian type of fur hat as well as a winter Mao cap. Now I am looking at getting a good cowboy hat and that means looking at Stetson Hats. Why? They are the best.
I guess I just now need to get some pictures of me in my hats and post them here. That’d be a good idea, right?
A friend of mine was asking me about different hair transplant myths so I came up this for my friend in order for him to understand more about the myths of hair transplant. When looking into getting a hair transplant, you might hear information about the procedure from many sources, and some of them will be myths. In order to avoid being sucked into these myths and not getting the full story, here’s 10 myths that you might hear about hair transplants.
1. Hair transplants are expensive.
Hair transplants are not expensive when you look at the long benefits of them. Once you get a hair transplant, it’s permanent and you will benefit from the hair regrowth for the rest of your life. It turns out that having a hair transplant can be cheaper than taking medicines for years in an attempt to keep and regrow hair.
2. It’s easy to tell if someone has had a hair transplant.
It may have been true that it was easy to tell if someone had hair plugs put into them in years past. Now, with the new techniques, it is very difficult to tell if someone has had a hair transplant or not.
3. A hair transplant isn’t permanent.
A hair transplant is a permanent surgical procedure that will last the rest of your life. It’s as permanent as the hair on the sides and back of your head that is transplanted.
4. It’s better to get it done when your baldness first starts.
Actually, research has shown that it is better to wait until a pattern develops so that the doctors are able to be better tell which hair is more likely to be good candidates for transplantation.
5. A hair transplant is painful.
All surgical procedures are painful. Thankfully, new advances in surgical technology have reduced considerably the pain associated with hair transplantation.
6. Everyone can get a hair transplant.
Not everyone is a good candidate for a hair transplant. First, you do need an acceptable hair donor area that has enough hair area to be grafted. Secondly, you need to have a healthy scalp.
7. A hair transplant is reversible.
A hair transplant is not reversible without a lot of surgery and why would you want to reverse it? Remove your great looking hair? You don’t have to worry about your hair going away. It’s there to stay.
8. Someone else’s hair can be used in the transplant.
No, a hair transplant just transplants healthy air from one part of your scalp to the area that is balding. The hair continues to grow in its new home and you have a healthy head of hair. No worries about getting someone else’s dandruff.
9. Hair transplants can fall out.
Hair transplants do not fall out. Since it is a surgical procedure, the hair grafts are surgically put into place so that they are permanent.
10. Hair transplants are maintenance intensive
Hair transplants are no more maintenance intensive than your normal hair. You will probably want to take care of your hair better than you have before, but that choice is up to you.
You are now equipped with some information to help you make a good conscious decision on getting a hair transplant.
