Since my wife suffers from adult acne, I am always taking a look at different acne treatments. From time to time, I actually run across what could be termed an acne cure. It’s important for those who suffer from acne to get the help they need to have clear skin. It can be tough for those who suffer through acne on a day to day basis. I know it can tough, but lately, there are new treatments that are great.

I used to be involved heavily in the TEFL industry,but now that I am back home, it means that I do not pay attention much to it. Because of my previous adventures, I always get asked how I was able to live the lifestyle that I was able to live. Frankly, I really have time to spend the hours needed to help each person individually, but luckily there are some great resources out there where you can find answers to any question.

Here are some TEFL websites:

The TEFL News Network has news and information for TEFL teachers.

Great TEFL Jobs has some great job listings.

ELT World has a great blog and set of forums that give you everything you need to know to teach abroad.

Moving Here And There

When I was growing up, my family always moved around. My dad’s work was such that frequent moving was a normal part of life in my family. That’s ok, moving services were our best friends. It seems like we knew them on a first name basis.

We would always do out best when were moving and it was always great to see someplace new and experience life in a new location. I guess that wanderlust is still with me today.

Time To Buy A Digital Camera

I am in the market for a new digital camera. When I first bought our Sony Camera two years ago, it was state of the art and was top in its class. Now, two years on, it is kind of looking old and not quite as interesting. It still works fine, but its features are kind of lacking compared to the newest models.

This means that I will delegate the old Sony to be a backup camera. What will the new camera be? Well, I’d like to go with a Canon digital camera just because I like their quality and they have a lot to offer. Maybe it’s because my very first digital camera was a Canon. Anyways, I know my next camera will be a great purchase.

I guess we will just have to see what we will get.

A Funny Joke

Ok, normally I am not into jokes on this blog, but I have to admit that this joke is pretty good. I t got me laughing almost uncontrollably earlier today. I don’t know why it really affected me, but it did. My wife came running in to see what happened to me. My kids thought I had died or something. Anyways, here it is:

Morris and his wife Esther went to the state fair every year, and every year Morris would say, ‘Esther, I’d like to ride in that helicopter.’
Esther always replied, ‘I know Morris, but that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.’
One year Esther and Morris went to the fair, and Morris said, ‘Esther, I’m 85 years old. ?If I don’t ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance.’
To this, Esther replied, ‘Morris, that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.’
The pilot overheard the couple and said, ‘Folks I’ll make you a deal. I’ll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say a word, I won’t charge you! But if you say one word, it’s fifty dollars.’
Morris and Esther agreed and up they went. The pilot put the craft through all kinds of manoeuvers, but not a word was heard. Up, down, back and forth, even sideways, he did his daredevil tricks over and over again, but still not a word.
When they landed, the pilot turned to Morris and said, ‘By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn’t. I’m impressed!’
Morris replied, ‘Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Esther fell out, but you know, fifty dollars is fifty dollars!’
