Albatross – Pride of the Oceons

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

The albatross es, from the Diomedeidae family are one of the largest sea birds. They are found mainly in Northern Pacific and Southern Oceans. They feed on squids, krills and fish either by scavenging, surface seizing or diving.

Albatrosses are colonial birds, resting for most parts on remote oceanic islands. Pair bonds between male & female are formed that generally last for the life of the pair. The breeding season is the most suitable season with abundant food and water available for the hatchlings. Fledging is a stage in a young bird’s life, when feathers and wings are sufficiently developed for flight.

Albatrosses create large nests of grass, shrub, soil, peat and feathers. Both parents incubate the egg and lose as much as 83 gms of weight a day. After hatching, the chick is guarded with utmost care & aggrassion by the parents and fed as much as 600 gms of food a day. They are taught to thermoregulaye and feed for themselves over 280-300 days. Albatrosses are among the most caring parents among all species.

Putting the Relationship Back Together

Sunday, January 8th, 2012

Bay Area Counseling ServiceMy friend in Raleigh is going through a difficult time right now. She and her husband are talking about separation. They have been married for 15 years. However, my friend said that they have not communicated very well for many years. There is a lot of anger when they talk to each other. She does not really know why, but she just says that they hardly agree on anything anymore. She really does not want to separate, but she felt like she could not live with this lack of communication any longer. I suggested that perhaps they can find a Therapist Raleigh NC who can counsel them on their relationship. Sometimes it takes the perspective of a professional to help two people find the root of the problem. If the source of the problem can be identified, then perhaps their marriage can be saved. My friend said that she will discuss this with her husband. I really hope that things will work out between them.

We Found a New Church

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

We had just moved to Vancouver and we needed to find a church that we could start attending. There were several that were within walking distance of our house actually, but we did not want to go to any of them because their beliefs did not match our own. We wanted to go to a church in Vancouver where they believed in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. We could not accept anything less than that, so we were happy when we found a church that was only a few miles away that matched our beliefs. The nice thing was how welcoming they were. We have been going there only for a few weeks now and they have made us feel like family. It seems like a lot longer than just a few weeks! I am very happy that my kids seem to be happy there too, because their happiness means the world to me too.

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

We as parents we have to make sure our parental rights are not stepped on by anyone. parents rights to take care of their children in the way they see fit is a higher parental rights and you will find there are a lot of government agencies or even family members that will disagree on how you raise your children. One of these government agencies is your local school system, a lot of times teachers or the principal will think that they can raise your children better than you can and you cannot allow them to interfere in your rights as a parent so if you're unsure if your rights are being violated talk to someone that can explain to you what is going on. I had just happened to me one time with my older child, I knew she was needing glasses and had already gotten her appointment with a optometrist and he was already checking her need for glasses but then the school system had to send me a note out telling me that I had to take my child to do to optometrist and the optometrist had to sign the form before my child come back to school. I know my child problem and I was already taken. So why did they have to step in why couldn't they just talk to me first.

Care.com Has Excellent Search Results!

Friday, January 21st, 2011

One of the great aspects I really think sets care.com apart is actually its search function. A lot of times on these types of sites you just don’t have the user friendly interface. Well they take it a step further. They actually have bio’s too with pictures of who would be taking care of your children or loved ones. They actually even take care of your pets or run errands for you if you just don’t seem to have enough time in the day.

What else is great is that you can actually post a job and let certified caregivers respond to your request and then you can sift through and find one that you think is right for you. They say on average jobs posted on care.com tend to get 15 responses. So unlike other sites where you might post and never get a response, here you have multiple options from people who you can trust. I highly recommend checking it out.
