I have a friend who has struggled through her whole life it seems. She is bright, smart, intelligent, attractive, friendly… I can think of a million good things to say, and everyone that knows her would agree.

There is only one problem, and that is her addiction… She has been struggling with addiction for all of her adult life, it started when she was a teen.

It has been a struggle for her, her family, and for her friends - because we care so much about her. It saddens us all whenever she hurts herself to feed her addiction.

The good news is that she is doing much better now. Her family was able to find a drug treatment center that did things a little differently. They way they implement their drug treatment program was more comprehensive than anything she had been privy to… and it really is working!

By combining detox, individual therapy, group therapy, depression treatment, and alternative medicine into one program their results have been excellent. As far as drug rehabilitation goes they do it the best.

I do not want to put my friends name out on the web - the people that know her reading this will understand… One thing I do want to say is how thankful I am as a close friend that for the first time in her life, she feels like she has a chance.

A chance at a normal life where she is in control of what happens, where she can be productive and live out her dreams, find love and eventually have a family.

So again - Thank You…

Christmas is right around the corner and we all have women in our lives that can be hard to buy gifts for.  For example, I have my Mother as well as my little sister, a new sister in law and finally my adorable niece.

Finding something they will all love is quite a task - not one to be taken lightly!  Over and over again though I hear one constant, universally, is that all women love jewelry!

So I went on a quest to find some great gift ideas for the women in my life.  For my Mother I found a beautiful selection of diamond heart necklaces.  I know she will cherish this gift!  For both my sister and her daughter I thought it would be neat to get something that matches.  So I went with gemstone jewelry.  This way I could have both their birth stones involved in the gift.  Not only is it unique to each of them, but also a similar gift that they can enjoy together!

Last but not least I have my new sister in law.  This is her first Christmas with our family and I want it to be a special one.

After looking all over for something she would just adore, I found it!  A blue diamond ring is exactly the right item.  The best thing about it is if she loves it as much as I think she will - then next year I can get her a matching pair of earrings or a necklace - or both!

I’m very excited about Christmas this year…  mainly because I know all the women in my life will be super excited when they open the precious little boxes that say “From Me” on them!

Christmas is right around the corner and it is time to clean up the old address list as well as start shopping for some nice Christmas cards.

One thing I like to make sure of is that I don’t send the same exact card to everyone on my list, or even to just friends that also know each other.

The reason for this is that I don’t want one of my friends going to visit another friend and then find out that they got the same exact Christmas card from me. How tacky!

So I went on a search, scoring the web to find the best place for me to stock up on cards for this year. They had to be unique, something that none of my friends would also be sending out.

The good news is I found the solution!

Minted.com has some of the coolest ideas in cards that I have seen in a long time. The cool thing is their cards are different from anything that you can find in say a department store. Some of their designs are exclusive only to them, so it is pretty certain your card choice will be unique.

Not only do thy have a good selection of Christmas cards, but they also cover other holidays and have special sections for wedding invitations and even have Hanukkah cards.

So this last weekend was much like other weekends, I met up with some friends to play cards.  A group of us get together and we always have a great time, it is something we all look forward to!

This weekend was different though, one of my friends bought a professional poker table.  So now instead of the kitchen table we had a real poker table to play on!

I never would have thought this would make a difference…  It really did though!  The felt surface was very smooth and held the cards in place perfectly, it really made you feel like you were playing in Vegas even though you are at your buddies house.

The table was very well made and had folding legs, so once you were done playing, you could collapse the legs and slide it out of the way.  This was why my friends wife said it was okay!  She didn’t want it in the living room all the time, and she was very pleased with how easy it was to setup and then put away when not using it.

So of course I had to ask twenty questions, including how expensive was this thing, where did he get it etc.

What I found out was it is very affordable, especially for someone who is serious about their card playing!  Not only that but it gets shipped straight to you, so no worrying about how to get it to fit in your car!  I have a sub-compact, so trying to get a large poker table to fit was out of the question.

So, after the experience of using a professional poker table, I have decided I need one at my house as well.  After all, when it is time to host the card games, I want to continue the realistic experience.

The only difference is I want a blue table where my friend got a red one.

So you are in India on your vacation getaway and have traveled throughout the different regions enjoying all the bountiful flavors they have to offer. At this point one thing is for certain - India is full of diversity and all sorts of tasty adventures for the palette.

One thing that also needs to be considered is what to drink while in India.

Tea is a popular choice in India, however like much of India, there is a spicy twist to it! Many times when drinking tea in India you will find hints of sugar, mil, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and also cloves.

Most likely unless you dine at the same place more than once you will not have two teas alike. Just the variation of spices or amounts in the tea can give it a very different flavor.

Here is a recipe for a nice cup of Indian tea.

• Place the water, cloves, cardamom, peppercorns and cinnamon in a saucepan and bring to boil.
• Stir in the tea leaves and continue to cook over a moderate heat for 2 minutes.
• Add the milk and sugar and boil, remove from the heat.
• Strain and serve piping hot.

Kerala food is very specific to its region and their food is unique. According to tradition their dishes are served on a green banana leaf. For special occasions or festive events the people of Karela to this do still utilize the banana leaf to serve food on. This frames the meal much like painting in a frame and really sets the tone for the meal.

Coconuts are abundant in this region of India and because of this are added to many of their dishes. The flavor this brings to the palette is a touch of sweetness which does well to smooth down and offset the spiciness.

As with many of the other regions in India, rice is part of their diet and is considered to be one of their staples.
