What Drug Companies Don’t Want You To Know: A Treatment for Allergies and Sinus Headaches Is Salt Water

On June 24, 2009, in Health, by Trent Lapinski

I know it sounds simple, and that’s because it is. Almost everyone I know suffers from some form of sinus problem, whether it is allergies, a constantly stuffed nose, sinus infections, ear infections, or simply reoccurring common colds. I too suffered from most of the above, and used medications, and allergy sprays until they started [...]

Obama Says Screw You to California and Budget Crisis

On June 16, 2009, in Drugs, Life, Politics, The Bowl, by Trent Lapinski

I love how Obama has no problem bailing out his buddies at GM, AIG, and has completely reversed his opinion on pork barrel spending. Worse yet, he’s even trying to potentially cover up meeting with executives at coal companies. The White House on Tuesday dashed hopes that the federal government would help California overcome a [...]

Why I Have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, And Why You Might As Well

On February 26, 2009, in Health, Life, The Bowl, by Trent Lapinski

Note: I am not a doctor, nor do I claim to be. These are simply my opinions. Lately I’ve been recalling some rather painful childhood memories for reasons unbeknown, but they have brought some potential insight into why I feel the way I do. For those of you who don’t know anything about IBS (Irritable [...]

Ouch

On January 20, 2009, in Health, by Trent Lapinski

Yes, that’s my thumb. And no, that’s not nail polish. Note to self: Don’t close the window on your thumb at 2am while sending out resumes and not be able to sleep because it hurts so much.

So now I’m sick with a sore throat and I’ve spent the last 3-days in bed. This sucks.

Dear Barak Obama, I’m 22 I Just Got Laid Off, and I Can’t Afford College – Please Help

On October 16, 2008, in Health, Life, Politics, Work, by Trent Lapinski

Dear Barak Obama, My name is Trent Lapinski, I’m 22, and I use to be from the middle class. Instead I’ve lost two jobs this year. In fact, I just got laid off on Oct. 15th. I’ve had to move several times this year because of the unstable housing market. I can’t afford to go [...]

I Was In A Car Accident [Updated]

On September 23, 2008, in Health, Life, The Bowl, by Trent Lapinski

Update (9-26-08): I ended up seeing a doctor, and just found out the x-rays are clean. This means the accident only caused minor soft tissue damage and there shouldn’t be any long term issues. Monday September 22, I was driving home from work on the freeway in heavy traffic traveling at around 25mph, the second [...]

STOP Voting For Taser Stories On Digg and Reddit!

On July 25, 2008, in Health, Tech, by Trent Lapinski

I’m sick and tired of seeing all of these “tasered” stories on social news site such as Digg and Reddit. I really don’t understand what the fuss is about. Tasers have never been known as safe, or 100% non-lethal. I’m pretty sure the police officers using them know that there is a risk of death [...]

On July 25, 2008, in Apple, Health, by Trent Lapinski

There has been a lot of discussion lately concerning Steve Jobs health, given his slim appearance at WWDC some have even suggested his cancer might be back. While I don’t know whether or not Steve Jobs cancer has returned, I do know weight loss is normal for anyone who has undergone the kind of surgery [...]

R.I.P Tegan

On May 31, 2007, in Health, Life, by Trent Lapinski

Update: Tegan had to be put down just three weeks after we got her due to canine distemper. We believe she had it before we purchased her. She was a happy little wiener dog, and luckily she got to spend her last three weeks with us, and not in a pet store. She didn’t die [...]
