The Gadget Gandhi

Hello all!  It’s me again, your very lovable Gadget Gandhi.

I read a post on my Face Book page that caught my attention this morning.  It was a male friend inviting anyone who was interested to an Anti- Valentine’s Day Party last night.  He had quite a few responses to his invitation.  I think Valentine’s Day is truly a hard day to be single.  Sometimes it’s a hard day to be married too.  I do appreciate his good humor and his invitation to all the lonely hearts (and some not so lonely) on that day.  I’m sure all that attended had a fantastic time.  I wish I could have attended.  I love a party. LOL

It gave me an idea for a blog on Breathalyzers.  I want all those people out there to be safe and avoid the drinking drama.  I know first hand how 1 drink becomes 2, 2 drinks become 3 and the next thing you know someone’s buying  a round of shots.  I get it!  It’s very easy to enjoy “Happy Hour” (2 hours, 3 hours …)  with your friends.  I have enclosed photos of my 2  favorite breathalyzer by Domaine Consumer Goods.  I carry it in my pocket when out.

Stay Safe Rescue- FDA approved – MSRP $54.99

Stay Safe Advantage- MSRP $34.99

The goal here is to be safe.  If you have a breathalyzer in your pocket, it will give you a guideline of how well your really doing.   The most important thing is to NEVER, EVER DRIVE while drinking and to keep your drinking at safe levels.  There are many worse things that can happen beyond a hangover.

I found a great website that gave all kinds of information on the effects of drinking. I have posted information from the site below.   There is a link to the site on my links to the right.

Alcohol acts primarily on the nerve cells within the brain by interfering with communication between nerve cells and all other cells, suppressing the activities of excitatory nerve pathways and increasing the activities of inhibitory nerve pathways.

Alcohol enhances the effects of inhibitory neurotransmitters like GABA, and weakens the effects of excitatory neurotransmitters like Glutamine. Enhancing an inhibitor, or weakening an excitor, will have the external effect of making the person sluggish, which matches the behavior you see in a drunk person, and slowing down the overall functioning and reflex responses of the body.

The body responds to alcohol in stages, which correspond to an increase in BAC:

By all, I hope you find this good information and I will be posting soon!!!

Hello all.  It s me again, your very lovable Gadget Gandhi.

I have patiently awaited the release of the New Gen Z Power.  I have been told I have the patience of an ant but that’s another story.  It is finally happening.  I am alerting all the techno- junkies, like myself, of the release of The New Gen Z Power. This is a fantastic, must have item.  I can charge my cell phone, my iPod and my husband’s cell phone all at once without even looking for our chargers. I don’t need my computer to charge our  iTouch, and a Charging Station to charge the rest of my mobile gadgets.  I can do it all with The Gen Z Power.  Everything is built in.  This is the Next Generation in charging stations.

The company that manufactures this item is Domaine Ltd.  Domaine Ltd expanded its well known jewelry and novelty business in January 2010.  This expansion was the birth of a Consumer Goods Division called “Domaine Consumer Goods”.  Domaine Consumer Goods is devoted to bringing new innovative technology to the US market.  With their highly inspired and creative team, DCG’s  plans are to make an impact with the latest gadgets and gizmos for all the techno-junkies out there.   I can’t wait to see what they come up with next.

This item is being sold at Cable Organizers.  Once your to the website, type in GenZ

Valentine’s Day will be upon us in the next 30 days. I am writing to share some good advice and save all you guys out there from a night in the doghouse.

For most of the men in this world, I know life’s daily routines and responsibilities are your main objective. You work hard to provide the best life you can for your wife and kids. You want to be acknowledged once in a while for all that you do to provide the good life you created for your family. Those are some tough shoes to fill but you do it everyday without complaint or any expectation of reward. Most of the time you’re wondering if your wife and kids understand all that you do to provide for them. Do they appreciate what you do? You become the silent soldier.

Then, once a year, an unofficial holiday arrives that can literally wreak havoc on your life, “Valentine’s Day”.
1. If you forget it, you have a one-way ticket to the doghouse for an unspecified amount of time.
2. If you buy something that is not personal enough, you could be expecting the cold shoulder for at least a few days.
3. Or, one of the worst things, you buy her some household item she needs and she completely explodes telling you how utterly thoughtless you are. You on the other hand are baffled and try to understand what you did wrong and just try to defuse the situation.

I get it. That’s why I’m here to help!

Let’s start by saying, your wife, just like you, wants to be appreciated for the things she does. She might wash your clothes, make your meals, clean your house, tend your children and/or work a full time job too. She might do it all but whatever it is she does, it is done because she love’s you and the children.

The big “to do” about “Valentine’s Day” for women is this. This is the one-day your wife is recognized as an individual. Not for being mom, not for what she does for you but for who she is to you. It is the one-day that she wants you to acknowledge her as the women you pursued and proclaimed your undying love for. (Do you remember that?) Those were the days when you treated her like a queen.

Often, couples that have been together for many years loose passion in the relationship. It’s easy to understand; life’s situations kind of sucks it out of you. The best part is you can get it back and it’s simple really. Let your wife know how much she means to you. DO NOT just buy her a card. Write it, or say it. It was always told to me that a man wants to be king of his castle, as no man likes to be told what to do. Well then, elaborating on that thought, a good king (who doesn’t want to be overthrown) will lead his people with compassion and understanding. The key here is, “lead”. A man who can lead his marriage with compassion and understanding will be a happily married man. I can assure you that your wife will make you feel like a king.

So, I leave you with this. Start this Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2010 making your wife feel like your queen. It never really was about the gift you buy for her but how you make her feel about you and her. I have put up some links for some great inexpensive gifts so you’re not empty handed. But make sure you give her what she really wants and that would be you!
