My friends and I meet at a local coffee shop, the Whistle Stop Cafe, each morning for coffee and conversation. We spend a lot of our time laughing and just poking fun at each other. Always being friendly is the best why to have a lot of friends.

All the guys are my age (68) or older and I’m the only one with a smart phone, so each day someone wants me to look something up on the Internet.

I do have another group of friends who are triathletes or training to be one. This morning I didn’t want to ride my bike to the YMCA in the snow (19 degrees) for swim training at 4:30am, so Paul, my training buddy, picked me up on his way to the Y and then dropped me off at the Whistle Stop on his way to work. Friends are great, aren’t they?

BJ Gallagher has put the wonders of friendship into a book full of original poems and quotes all about friendship. Sometimes it’s hard to put into words how much our friends mean to us. Friends comfort us in our times of need, celebrate our triumphs, laugh with us, forgive us and love us. Luckily you don’t have to come up with the words! You can use the words BJ Gallagher put together for you in the below movie.

There’s no arguing the fact that flat stomachs are sexy.

Whether you’re wearing a bulky sweater or a bikini, a flat stomach improves your appearance. But there’s more to a flat stomach than the apparent physical benefits.

A flat stomach eliminates the danger of deep-hidden belly fat around your organs which can increase your risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and some types of cancer.

A flat stomach means lower cholesterol, lower triglycerides, lower blood pressure and optimal insulin levels.

According to a report on ABC based on a study conducted by Lynda Powell, Ph.D. Rush University Medical Center, Doctors say 30 minutes of physical activity, whether it be walking or even dancing, can have a positive effect on visceral fat, this hidden belly fat. And losing as little as 5 to 10 pounds or trimming 2 inches from your waist can make a difference.

And while the ultimate goal is to have flat sexy abs, the first step for men is to get their waist circumference under 40 inches and for women to get their waist circumference under 38 inches.

The question is how…and that’s when a structured diet and exercise program can be a tremendous help.

If you’re interested in both improving your health (living a longer, better life) and trimming your abs so you can wear your clothes with confidence, take a look at the truth about a Flat Stomach!

 “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.”

-Jim Rohn

Here is a test question. Which political party was responsible for the 100,000 plus workers who lost their jobs building carburetors? And of course the answer is neither, it was fuel injection. A new technology. I believe technology plays a larger role in the loss of jobs than either political party and conversely the creation of new jobs. Sure some regulations or lack of certain regulations may play a part, but it’s technology.

Remember the movie, The Graduate, when Mr. McQuire tells the movie’s main character, Ben Braddock, that there is “a great future in plastics”. Well, that is what needs to be said today about technology, that there is “a great future in technology”. Technology and owning your own business where technology plays a large role.

Such as owning your own news publishing business in the form of a blog, make money with Adsense.

You can have your own hosting business with GVO for as little as $9.97 a month. You have hosting, with cpanel access, autoresponder, blogger builder, Easy Video Producer, Video Conferencing and Live training all for only $9.97 per month.

Here is another business option, 7 Minute Workout, check it out. It’s a great workout program for yourself, especially if you are busy and it is a great business opportunity for people who are on a low budget, only $9.97 a month.

A third option would be a nutrition business. Here’s the one I have been with since 1995, take a look it could be just what you are looking for.

In any event, don’t wait until technology does away with your job, look towards technology as your friend and use it to set you free from the uncertain world of politics. Nobody cares more about you than you, so don’t wait, take charge right now.
