Aloe socks helped my dad's feet

These aloe socks and gloves have helped my dad's dry cracked feet become smooth.  I have removed dry skin due to the socks.  At 9.99 it is  good buy at bed bath and beyond.

Why Norweigens laughed at Trump after shit hole comment


Why Norweigens laughed at Trump after shithole comment.



A reporter asked a random Norweigan woman what she thought of Trump calling African nations and Latin America a shit hole and how he said they needed more Norweigens coming into the U.S.  The lady had no comment and started to laugh. That was the reaction of most Norweigens as they heard the news.  Why would they come to America, if their country provides universal health care, free education, pensions,and social security and other benefits.Norway has gun control laws so they are not killing each other off on a daily basis like in America.This nation of 5 million has a social welfare state that allows for Capitalism but believes in providing its citizens benefits so they can progress.There is little unemployment at 4%, most work to pay the high income taxes to provide these universal services.  So Norweigens may consider the US to be a shit hole country thats why they laugh.

How to turn an unused lanai into a third guest bedroom



How to turn an unused lanai into a third guest bedroom.



When creating a third guest bedroom from an idle lanai, you must first decide if room is large enough and will be comfortable.Many vacant lanai's are not climate controlled meaning that they are not insulated so when remaining room is hot in the summer due  to the sun or very cold in the winter due to frigid temperatures.  If it is in the budget  insulation should be added to ceilings and windows to make room more climate friendly.   But if you're like me who doesn't have the budget to add insulation, here are some other steps to take to turn that unfamilar lanai into a third guest room. First weatherstrip all windows by caulking the out side of windows.   Secondly, caulk the baseboards and the outlet to weatherproof room a little.If unaccounted room is large enough assess if the vacant room can serve dual purpose. By making it into a bedroom slash exercise/craft room like i my case.  I added two twin beds a dresser and a nightstand on one side half of room than on other half of room I added a tall cabinet as my craft center and a thread mill for exercise.  I added a screen to separate both spaces.  I added a rolling closet for clothes as well.   I added a space heater and a fan for comfort and now I have a brand new space.    Here are photos
