Tactical Gear for Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse or End of the World

 If you fear the Walking Dead and want to know what would prepare you for a zombie apocalypse or other end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it disaster, the following gear should help you get ready. Some of it might also come in handy if you are into Airsoft.  With alarming headlines, pandemics, a loss of faith in the government and partisan, racial and economic lines being used to split out country, many people are concerned about more than zombies. We called in our tactical gear expert who is also into Airsoft to help us put together this list of recommended tactical gear.  First, you will need some weapons, but what good are weapons if you cannot aim accurately and can't take care of them? Also, you will need to communicate with other survivors. Here are some suggestions on how to get started. All items found on Amazon. Weapon attachments: Red Green Dot Holographic Sight 551/552 Tactical Airsoft Scope Sight AIRSOFT 553 Tactical Hunting Holographic Red Green Dot Sight Rifle Scope Ta

The Top 5 Christmas Movies of 2020

Image
  I admit it--I am a Christmas movie junkie. Every year I watch as many of them as I can. Starting in mid December, it is my goal to watch at least one a day and maybe 2 or 3 on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. 2020 has been no exception. With Coronavirus lurking in the background and a still-undecided election not quite behind us, holiday cheer is perhaps more needed now than ever, so I have happily watched at least one Christmas movie a day since Dec. 13.  While I enjoy most of the holiday movies, some Christmas movies as better than others. To make the top five list the movie has to be family friendly and have a moral a little deeper than "they fell in love and lived happily ever after." A good story, at least decent acting, and traditional values are are required as well as an abundance of holiday cheer. Christmas music is a definite plus. The movie also has to be easily available for viewing on Netflix, Amazon Prime, or other channels during the 2020 holiday season. Here

Skechers Shindigs Women's Boots-- a review

Image
  As my regular readers know, I am a big fan of Skechers shoes. When I started walking, I was slew-footed with flat feet and weak ankles and had to wear casts for 6 months to try to straighten my legs and help my arches.. In middle school,  my mother put me in orthopedic shoes. Needless to say, they we re a big hit at school.  The point is, I have always had trouble finding comfortable shoes for my feet. Even in flats and tennis shoes, my feet always ache after standing or walking for a little while. However, someone gave me my first pair of Skechers last year and it changed my life. I can now walk and stand for long periods of time without crippling foot pain.  Amazon has a good selection of  Skechers Shindigs  women's boots at reasonable prices, so I ordered my last pair of hiking boots there. I was very pleased with the results.  These boats are light-weight, attractive sturdy and comfortable. They are wonderful for hiking.They absolutely live up to their 5-star rating on the Sk

Thanksgiving 2020 Thoughts

Image
  Thanksgiving dinner photo (c)2020 by Kathryn Darden 2020--it was the year that promised to give us all clearer vision. Maybe it did. We have seen our media, election process and political systems for the shams they are, and seen through the politics of social media. 2020 has certainly opened our eyes about many things. Beyond that we have had a pandemic to cope with, BLM/Antifa riots, some police departments shut down, as well some cities, not to mention business that could not withstand the ravages of a pandemic and riots. If that's not enough, we were are mandated to wear masks and hold small family gatherings for our national day of Thanksgiving. So what is there to look forward to for Thanksgiving 2020? I take a look at some ways to make Thanksgiving a day of thanks in 2020 here: Happy Thanksgiving Eve from Christian Activities!    Thanksgiving 2020 is perhaps the most unusual Thanksgiving we have had since the November following 9/11...  More Thanksgiving Articles: Thanksgiv

Massage and Therapy Equipment: Reviews

 Relieve Pain with Massage and Therapy Equipment  Chair Back Massager: The Comfier Shiatsu Neck & Back Massager   featured 2D/3D kneading full back massage with heat and adjustable air compression. The massage chair pad is supposed to work the shoulders, neck, back, waist, and hips to provide full-body pain relief, However, it is limited in the shoulders, neck and hips, predominantly working on the back. Still, it is a very good massage chair for the back and something I can recommend. Compressed Air Massager: The AirCINCOM Leg Massager improves circulation. It features air compression calf wraps with two modes and three intensities. The leg massager is helpful for RLS and edema. Elbow Vibrator: The Myovolt Wearable Elbow Vibrator features recovery technology for the arms, wrists, and elbows. It relieves pain by providing vibration therapy for sore, stiff, painful arm muscles and joints. The device provides relief from golfer's elbow, tennis elbow, and hand injuries. We used

The Satin Sleep Set by Kitsch-- a Review

Image
  This luxurious satin pillowcase set from Kitsch ($36), with pillowcase, eye mask and scrunchie,  makes a lovely gift or a personal treat for yourself. Gentle on the skin and the hair, the pillowcase aids the skin in retaining moisture instead of absorbing moisture and wicking it away like cotton and cotton blends. The pillowcase is smooth and soft to sleep upon and the eye mask is the most comfortable one I own. My eyes are sensitive to light, and I own several eye masks, and this one is by far my favorite with its sturdy adjustable strap and comfortable cushioning. The satin scrunchie doesn't crease or break hair and can be worn both day and night. Each package includes 1 standard size pillowcase ( 26"x20") , 1 eye mask, and 1 scrunchie. Satin Sleep Set by Kitsch Review I give the Kitsch Satin Sleep Set 5 out of 5 stars for comfort, attractiveness, effectiveness and value. ***** More Reviews: Skechers Beverlee Delighted with Luxe Foam, Cute but a Little Big--a Review W
