A motor vehicle accident can range anywhere from a fender bender to a multiple car pileup with severe damage to cars and medical nightmares for those involved. A person getting in a serious motor vehicle accident could be looking at months, even years of medical procedures, physical therapy, and repeated visits to doctors and hospitals to make things right once again.

There is often a lot of time, money and energy spent on the rehabilitation process. The trauma of a bad accident can reach far beyond the totaled vehicle. If the victim has suffered severe injuries, there are more than a few decisions to be made. Once the victim has been medically stabilized, the plan for getting “back to normal” begins. Depending on the type of injuries sustained, this plan includes repeated doctor visits, trips to physical therapy, and may even involve plastic surgery, to repair and basically reconstruct a person’s face or limbs to make them not only functional, but acceptable to the victim.

In today’s world, plastic surgeons are highly trained surgeons, who continue on in their surgical schooling to complete higher degrees and more ability in plastic surgery. The “nose jobs” of yesterday have evolved into procedures requiring meticulous skill, where the plastic surgeon is well-trained. With new techniques and years of training, the field of plastic surgery is not only highly respected, but sought after by those who have had severe injuries to the face or other part of the body that they seek corrected.

The financial burden of a serious accident can be staggering. If the injuries are severe, the victim may not be able to return to his job for a long time, having to go on short-term or even long-term disability. The medical bills can pile up very quickly, not to mention the monthly bills that have always been there. It is very overwhelming. Taking care of the day-to-day things can give the accident victim some control over what appears an out of control situation. If money is tight the victim can consider a short-term loan from PayDay One Loans, a company that makes short-term loans available when a little more cash is needed. This type of loan can help get the bills paid, without having to rack up even more interest charges and long-range payment plans.

An accident victim who becomes a plastic surgical patient has enough to worry about. Finding ways to ease the financial burden, or relieve the anxiety that often accompanies these types of accidents, is the best way to guarantee a strong and safe recovery.

As for my sister, well, she is still working on her volunteer work tasks as of writing this, and I pity her because it is not just her eyes that is hurting now, but her back as well. I saw the work load and it is terrible. All data to be transferred and to be emailed right away when done.. Gosh.. They should have prepared this two days ago. I learned that it was kind of a rush because they are going to use the data for tomorrow’s meeting— well, shame on them. Hiring people to do their jobs at the peak hour.. Har work is not even enough for the allowance..

In case you are wondering, there are many people who actually report on not having seen themselves for two weeks. From that fateful night when Sendong struck the city, until after the New Year… Bad hair day or not, it’s good to be alive..

You can really see the smiles on their faces as they ate the food served, as they received their gifts and as they enjoyed the time spent with their givers. I am sure that if you are one of the few who gave support, whether it’s financial or in kind for this endeavor, you too will smile as you look into the happy details.

Above is my sister and Mommy Ruby, with some of the bags I gave away. Look at the smiles on their faces. The event is totally a recipe for happiness. Looking at the photos, I see that the guys who went there had a difficult time to reach the place, Besigan– the farthest point of the city of Cagayan de Oro..

They had to ride the bumpy road, trek through the muddy path, get dirty while walking under the rain with heavy load…but according to my sister, when they reached the peak, and saw the children who were waiting for them, all their tiredness vanished and they were all so happy to see them at last..

As a matter of fact, CDO Bloggers Inc shall go back there for more help.. Hopefully I can join them by then… I can’t wait to meet the kids too..

I wonder how it would feel to ride the dump truck– the only transportation to go there… I was told that this is provided by the city government to help the farmers transport their goods and products from Besigan to the market, and back.. My sister said the ride was quite okay at first, but halfway through it gets bumpy as the roads are really bad. I wonder why it was never given any attention..

Spritz cookies are sweet buttery cookies. To “spritz” them properly onto an ungreased cookie sheet, you’ll need a cookie press. Place the dough in the press and push out into various shapes, including circles and triangles. By tinting the dough with a bit of green food coloring, the circles become wreaths and the triangles Christmas trees. Both can then be decorated with red candies or decorations to complete easy Christmas cookies.

Spritz cookie dough is very simple. Cream ½ lb. of butter with ½ cup sugar. Beat in
1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually incorporate 2 cups of flour and a pinch of salt.

Place the dough in the cookie press and “spritz” it onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. These cookies are done just before they brown.

Springerle are traditionally anise flavored cookies with stamped designs on them. To maintain the integrity of the designs, they are often dried after being placed on the cookie sheets. This way, there is less moisture in the cookie to burst through the top and destroy the design as it is baking. If you are simply rolling and cutting out the dough with no design to worry about, or if you prefer a softer cookie, there is no need for the drying process.

To make springerle cookies, beat 4 large eggs until thick and lemon colored. Add ¼ cup softened butter, 1 lb. powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon anise extract. Gradually add 4 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt until the dough forms a ball. Divide the dough and roll it out. Cut out the cookies and place on cookie sheets. Bake at 300 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

Pfeffernusse, literally “pepper nuts,” are spicy little balls, traditionally finished with a sweet glaze or rolled in confectioner’s sugar.

For pfeffernusse cookies, warm ½ cup molasses and ½ cup honey over low heat. Add
½ cup butter and let butter melt. Cool. Add 2 large eggs. Mix in 2 ½ cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon allspice, 1 teaspoon ginger, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon anise extract. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour before rolling into small balls. Put balls on cookie sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Finish as desired.

Enjoy your Christmas cookies with the German accent!

Anyway, they are called Slap Watches. Well, for obvious reasons, when they are worn, all you have to do is slap them unto the wrist..

Simply bend the other side of the strap towards the wrist.. Put it securely in place to lock the watch strap..

And there you go..

They look so cute and come in trendy colors..

But what is it with diamond rings that it makes every occasion in a woman’s life truly special? I guess someone was right in saying that it is a woman’s best friend. Which is actually highly over rated! Hehehe

Hello Guys. This is quite an overdue post (I know that many obtain free content for their blogs and websites from Article Writing Services, but not me! I’ll make the time to write my own posts). See, I have not had the time to click a photo of me, until today. And guess why? I always forget. Hehehe.. Anyway, I got this shirt from TShirtPrinting.Net, which is actually one of the sponsors at Tomoson.

Since I got this a few months back, I have always loved wearing this shirt because of how comfortable it is. And look at that monkey design, isn’t it cool? If you visit their website, you can actually find other designs and also order from there if you wish to have one for yourself.

As for me, I alway wear it in traveling, or just about anywhere where I anticipate to be humid. This cotton shirt does wonders in making me feel comfortable despite the warm weather. I so love it! Thanks Martin for generously sending one my way..

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
