What I Look For In My Skin Care Product

Choosing a skin care product for myself is a little bit of a process. Even though I tend to be a simple person, I do like a variety of things. When it comes to shampoos, conditioners and body creams, I go crazy over the fruity scents and organic moisturizer ingredients. I mean, come on, why do they have to make so many different types of beauty products for a wom Read the rest of this entry »

Living in a virtual world is cheaper than a sex change.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a lady, but don’t really want to pay out for a boob job? Well now there is a solution in the world of the internet. You can now have all the benefits of being a lady without the expensive surgery.

Did you know 83% of all the women* on the interent were born as men. Yes billions of people who were disatitfied with their gender have made the switch for little less than the cost of a PC and a internet connection. These people carry on useful productive lives in forums, chat rooms, dating sites and online games. They don’t have the costly cosmetic surgery usually required and they have no scars or odd manly features; hands that are just too hairy to be a woman’s. They look just like they were born that way.

It’s not just gender changes that are available either, now on the world wide

To work, or not to work, that is the question

07 14th, 2008 Author: Administrator

Live to work, or work to live, that’s really what I’m talking about here. This blog is called the Idle Tymes – yet that is exactly what I don’t have a lot of at the moment – Idle times! In the last few years as I have become more and more embroiled and committed to work, and I’ve found myself with less and less leisure time. I’ve always been a believer in not living for the Friday evening. If you just live for the weekends, you find that your weekends go too quickly and you are left for five days waiting for the time to pass. This isn’t life! This isn’t the way to live.

I find myself more and more doing things online, and that isn’t just because I find it more convenient, it is because I don’t have time to go to the shops. I’m not talking about things that are cheaper and just as good through the internet, such as buying your car or horse insurance, I’m not talking about using internet banking to save a trip into the branch. I’m talking about not having time to go to the supermarket in order to buy food, so instead shopping at Tesco online and having things delivered. I’m talking about needing a new shirt, so just getting one online from the marks and spensers website, again to arrive through the post without me ever having tried it on. It’s even got to the stage where at work, we needed some banner stands done for a presentation we are giving next week, and we are just emailing across the completed image files to the company, who are delivering it directly to the venue the morning of the presentation because we don’t have time to look at print samples first.

It is a cliché that we are all part of a ‘time starved generation’ at the moment. I’ve always just ignored it, but I’m starting to think it’s true. Perhaps we need to reassess how we live and what we do with our time, because once it is gone, it doesn’t come back.
