Cleaning Anilox Printing Rolls

Posted in Random Thoughts, Website Reviews on December 9th, 2009

My company does a lot of printing. We have a small crew that does all of our Anilox roll cleaning. We buy most of our Anilox roll cleaning supplies from FlexoCleaners and one other company. We used to use Baking Soda blasting to remove old and dried up ink from the cells of our Anilox rolls, but now we’ve switched to a different cleaning method and it seems to be much more effective.

Talking About Life Insurance

Posted in Random Thoughts, Finance, Website Reviews on November 25th, 2009

Life insurance rates is a topic that most avoid but it is necessary especially when you want to ensure that your loved ones are provided for. Not knowing too much about life insurance I was lucky enough to have one of my neighbors explained everything to me. He told me that term life insurance would be the better plan to get since it is cheaper than the rest. And since I’m saving money to purchase a house I’m glad that I would be able to help my family someday without having an exorbitant monthly bill.

Colonix Wasn’t That Great

Posted in Tips, Random Thoughts, Health, Shopping, Website Reviews on April 19th, 2009

Many people with stomach problems often have to make appointments to see a specialist on a regular basis. Some of them have to have a colonoscopy performed, while others only are directed to do a colon cleanse. One of the colon cleansers that has been on the market for several years now is Colonix. It is not very highly recommended, as others are. It is very overpriced and has some ingredients in it that can cause a lot of poor side effects. If your doctor suggest that you do a colon cleanse, this is not one of the best rated on the market and there are many others that have no side effects and much cheaper in price. Everyone should read reviews on such products before they make the poor decision of purchasing colonix.

Barcode Scanners

Posted in Random Thoughts, Shopping, Website Reviews, Technology on March 20th, 2009

A local store was having a huge sale because they were going out of business. It seemed like one of the checkout lanes had customers lined up and were having to wait for such a long time. Some of them only had a few items and it took a long time to check out for them, just like the ones with a lot of items. Nobody could figure out why. Finally the supervisor walked over to her to see what the problem was. It was caused by the barcode scanner that the cashier was using. She was hired part time only, to help out during this big sale. She has very much experience, too. She had never used the barcode scanner that this store used. There are many different barcode scanners. She had used many of them, but this specific barcode scanner was not one that she had used before. It was a hand held one. After her supervisor explained how to use it, the line began moving faster. It ended up being very easy for her. Since she had experience in many stores, her and her boss both just took it for granted that she would know how to use this one. Since there are different kinds, which many have been new to the market, a person should take a test, or make sure they can operate the barcode scanner used, before starting a new job using one.

Mig Welder Comes In Handy

Posted in Random Thoughts, Gift Ideas, Website Reviews, Technology on March 20th, 2009

My sister was at an automotive independent repair shop last week getting some work done on her car. She was told that she was going to have to wait two to three hours before it was ready, so she called me to pick her up and take her home. When I arrived there, she had been in the garage where they showed her different parts needed to fix her car. She noticed a welder that she wanted my opinion on, because she was thinking of buying one for her husband for Christmas. It was a heavy duty mig welder. We both talked to the mechanic about the features it had on it and if it was worth the money it cost. He said he would only buy a mig welder and his was a heavy duty one. He has had it for a few years now and has never had a problem with it. He also said depending on what type of job you would be using it on should be considered before buying one, but he said he would definitely buy a mig welder. They come in different brands which have different features.

Industrial Parts and Supplies

Posted in Random Thoughts, Shopping, Website Reviews on March 1st, 2009

My uncle has his own business at his home where he works with large sheet metal forming dies. One of the tools he has always invested in is spring plungers. They come in different types depending on the type of job you are doing and how you need them. I had never seen one before until he showed me the different ones he has. He frequently orders supplies from a business on the internet. He was showing me more spring plungers that he has never needed or used. He said using these devices often makes a job much simpler.

Taking Care of Cattle

Posted in Random Thoughts, Website Reviews on February 18th, 2009

My wife’s family owns and lives on a farm in the country on ninety acres. They currently have thirty head of cattle. They are not a big job to take care of, but you always need to be sure that their water tanks are clean and full and feed them everyday at the same times. There is also other care to them. They shop for cattle supplies once or twice a month. They usually go to a store that sells livestock and pet supplies and equipment. You can usually find everything you need in stores like them. Some of the places they shop at also deliver purchases to their farm.

I’ll Stick With My Transcend SDHC Card

Posted in Random Thoughts, Gift Ideas, Shopping, Website Reviews, Technology on November 22nd, 2008

Last week I picked up an SanDisk 8GB Cruzer Micro USB flash drive and I’m really not that impressed with it’s read and write speed. It takes about three times as long to transfer data as my Transcend 16gb SDHC card through a Transcend USB card reader and that’s not really acceptable to me. I think I’m going to return it and just put a few bucks with it and get anothr Transcend SDHC card and card reader combo.

The Diet Pills Didn’t Work

Posted in Random Thoughts, Health, Website Reviews on November 19th, 2008

A couple of days ago I wrote about diet pills. Well, my brother in law started taking Lipozene about two months ago and said that it hasen’t been worth the money at all. He’s going to stop taking it and try Lipovox or Alli like I recommended in the first place. He doesn’t really even need to lose much weight, he’s just really self conscious about his appearance. My girlfriend is always giving him a hard time about wanting to lose weight.

The Best Diet Pills

Posted in Product Reviews, Random Thoughts, Health, Website Reviews on November 17th, 2008

Every diet pill advertises itself to be the best diet pill ever made and promises that you’ll lose tons of weight (maybe not literally tons), and most of them are garbage. I could sell tylenol and call it diet pills if I wanted to. Most of them tell you that you’ll only lose weight using the diet pills if you curve your eating. Well, you’ll naturally lose plenty of weight just by cutting your normal food portions in half. The only diet pills that people I know have said work, are Lipovox and Alli. I can’t say that I’ve heard many good things about other diet pills.
