Live a Fruitful Bachelor Life


                                      
There are very many reasons associated with being a bachelor. Some men live the bachelor life out of their own liking while others are driven by experiences and circumstances to becoming bachelors. The bachelor life is associated with a very care free and irresponsible life which does not necessarily need to be true. A bachelor never uses the frying pan nor does he do his laundry or dishes. A bachelor has no set of rules related to life. Most of the bachelors love this life and have a phobia of letting go this life for a committed life governed by rules and responsibilities. All in all you can be a bachelor for whichever reason and enjoy your bachelor life by laying out a lifestyle trend that is much involving, happy and adventurous.


The first and very important step is to get involved in a physical activity that you love. You can get involved in a sport or a game that you love. Physical fitness does not come with weight loss only. Physical fitness is not meant for those who want to loose weight only but to all who want to enjoy a healthy lifestyle. Rather, you can enjoy the activity and fresh air as you participate in the physical activity. Another important step that you can take to improve on your bachelor life is organizing your house. A bachelor is associated with a messy house, dirty floors and a much disorganized house. It is of essence you shed that impression and organize your house and make it neat. It pays especially when a visitor pops in and finds that you have a tidy house different from the perception of many.
Getting involved in an activity that you have always aspired to do. You can learn a new sport or join a new club. With this you will have stepped out of the borders related with the bachelor life. By taking up such a lifestyle you will be leading a happier life focused on your own growth rather than pleasing the people around you. Any time the name bachelor comes up a negative thought comes with it and it is essential that you shed the tag and live your life to the fullest. It is possible to live a responsible bachelor life full of life. When you focus on personal development you get relationships coming your way which can end up to a fruitful marriage.

Myths Surrounding the Bachelor Life


                             
There are a number of mysteries surrounding the bachelor life. Many people also have had misconceptions about the same and the bachelors are lowly rated as losers in the society especially by the women. Do not think that because one is a bachelor he is not involved in any relationship. That is wrong because the lack of a marriage certificate should not be used to rate one as a bachelor. Bachelors have a unique lifestyle consisting of various attachments and hobbies. This lifestyle is always unique and through one way or the other it becomes an attraction to the ladies due to the unique and free lifestyle without any attachment it comes with. Many single ladies are always on the line trying to woo the bachelors out of their lifestyle to get hooked up. On the other hand, women have a very negative perception on bachelor life and they believe some men choose the lifestyle because they can not woo a woman or they fear commitment and responsibilities that come with marriage to a certain extent. The perception is because of the distance and caution the bachelors keep over the single ladies to avoid snares that can come with it.
It is not understood where the myth of bachelors living for few years than the married men came from. This is not a certified claim with neither grounds nor facts associated with it. The married and those who enjoy the bachelor life have the same mortality rate. It is not in order to claim that bachelors have very many health and social problems. These are unsubstantiated claims aimed at tainting the image of the bachelor life. Although research has been conducted on the claims, we have no statics to back the claims because the divorced hide under the bachelor’s umbrella. Another myth surrounding the bachelor life is that they are immature in their social life thus they are not hooked up .Their bachelor life is based on being a social misfit who has had issues with his social life which is not a fact.

All these myths cloud over the bachelor life and any time a bachelor comes along the way there are very many questions that are brought up of his status. The claims and negative myths are not substantiated and have no facts seconding them. Most of these are myths brought about by women who have a negative attitude of the same. There is nothing to worry about for the myths have been with us since time in memorial.

Do not allow water damage to affect your lifestyle



Water damage should be taken seriously and if dealt with quickly enough it should not affect your lifestyle too much. All of your personal possessions and more importantly your home can be restored to its former glory through the process of water damage restoration. 
A professional water damage restoration company will inspect your home and tailor their restoration process to suit your individual needs and this can range from drying carpeting to having to renovate the whole house.
If your home has become the victim of flooding then the renovation process needs to start with freeing your house from the flood waters. Once this has been completed then you need to take stock and inspect your personal belongings for damage, keeping your furniture and valuables will depend on the severity of the damage. If the cost of repairing the item is more than the item is worth then you will need to replace the items with newer ones.
One of the main dangers to your home is structural damage caused by the water seeping into cracks and weakening the structure and this will need to be dealt with by a professional water damage restoration company.
Removing water and moisture from flooring, carpeting and the walls is not an easy task and can only be completed by using professional water removal equipment and expertise you can’t hope to dry out carpet and curtains by hanging them out in the sunshine. Even if you do manage to remove the moisture but it is unlikely that it will look like it did before the water damage incident took place.
Water leakage can get into all kinds of places and damage electrical appliances and wiring, if you suspect that water has got into electrical equipment or wiring then do not attempt to tackle it yourself as this could result in electrocution and death. Make sure that you use the services of a professional to deal with the problem instead.
Even a minute quantity of water may bring about a huge amount of damage if it’s overlooked. If you require a comprehensive refurbishment job, it will be a good idea that the job is handed over to water damage renovation companies who are qualified and prepared to cope with water damage calamity situations. Don’t waste any time the more you delay the worse the problem will get and the more money it will cost you.

Is Single Life a Better Life?


When a long term relationship comes to an end, it can be difficult to adjust to a new bachelor life. For me personally I have found that although being single is a massive change, it has plenty of benefits which lead me to believe that the single life actually is the better life for me. I actually recently read a report which said that 43 percent of adults in America are enjoying the bachelor life citing benefits such as career flexibility, social freedom and extended personal time with fewer distractions.


 Married life is great when it works. However, marriage, and indeed any long term relationship, brings with it lots of distractions both from personal time and from work. There is the constant need to consider someone else. Can I work late or will the wife be annoyed? Can I go for a drink with the boys after work or has my girlfriend made dinner reservations? None of this matters when you are                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               single. You are living your own life and can take control of it. The same goes for career options. If you are working towards a promotion or to a dream job, often you need to put in long and sometimes unsociable hours. If you are unattached then this can be easier as there is no balancing act between work and relationships. If I had to I could pick up and move across state for a  job, knowing that I wouldn't have to worry about anyone else.
 Now I am not saying that no-one should ever get married. In fact when I got married it was exactly what I wanted at the time. However, for right now it seems that the single life is right for me!

A guide to earlobe stretching

Hey guys are you thinking about some kind of body modification in the near future? Maybe you have thought about getting a tattoo, or a piercing somewhere on your body, but have you considered the body modification known as ear stretching?
 
You may not be aware of ear stretching but it is a type of body modification that has been around for centuries and has been practiced across the world by people from all walks of life. In fact ear stretching has even been discovered to have been practiced in ancient times with mummies being discovered with stretched earlobes! The kind of materials that were used to stretch earlobes back then include, stone, wood and bone, which were carved and sculpted specifically for ear stretching, however even other items were used such as seashells, teeth and even claws.
So now that I have fueled your interest in earlobe stretching you are probably wondering how you go about it and what it entails. Obviously you will need to get a standard ear piercing first, and then wait for this to heal, and then you can begin the stretching process, which is also known as gauging.
The standard size to start with is usually 0.8 to 1.0 millimeters in diameter, although you can sometimes start with a 1.2 to 1.3 millimeters.
Once you are under way you can begin to use larger and larger gauges until you get to the size that you require.
Here are a few tips to help you with your ear stretching body modification.
Firstly don’t begin the process until the original piercing has fully healed as it will be too painful to endure as well as being at risk from infection.
In order to prevent infection it is a good idea to use an anti-bacterial soap to wash your earlobes before and after inserting the gauge. Also try soaking your earlobes in a solution of warm water and 3 tablespoons of salt to further reduce the risk of infection.
Rotate the insert every day in order to prevent the insert from sticking or crusting over, and never try to make the process shorter by skipping a size, as this can cause significant damage to your earlobes.

Painting your Wooden Wall Panels




If you are using quality paint to paint your wooden wall panels, it always appears an easy task. The only hard job comes in while you are removing the paneling but then nothing is so hard as long as you need some good outcome in the job that you are doing. Always remember that there is nothing good that comes out easily, you really have to work hard for it. If you are looking forward to do some painting, it is important that you first prepare the surface by dusting it thoroughly. It should be clean and dry, ready for the paint.


While you are doing the cleaning, it is important that you use a good solution that will enable you to have ease in your work. The solutions that you are supposed to use are like sprays. Use of sprays on the wooden wall panels some minutes before you start cleaning helps in faster removal of dirt. After that, take a sponge and rub the surface wiping all dirty areas off. Make sure that you take good care of the electric switches on the wall to avoid the risks that can be caused by electricity. It is even much better if you switch off from the main switch.
After you are done with the cleaning, it is better if you leave the wooden wall panel to dry for some time before taking the next step. The next would be none other than priming the walls; it helps in putting away all the parts that may appear to have stains on them. Do not forget to test before priming since it would help you be sure that the cleaning was thoroughly done. The way of testing is by simply put a tape test and if you find spots on it, know that more cleaning is done.

The meaning behind prison tattoos

English: Dead Man Incorporated tattoo.

Like other body modification trends, the number of prisoners getting tattooed is on the increase but what do they varying designs actually mean, and why do some convicts have certain tattoos and others do not?
The history of the prison tattoo can be traced back all the way to ancient Greece, where convicts were marked in order for them to be easily identified should they escape, leading to their incarceration once more.
Nowadays the main reason behind a convict being tattooed has nothing to do with easy identification in case of escape, but more to do with status and social ranking within the confines of the prison. There is a lot of gang culture in prisons these days with an almost military style ranking system present in some of the gangs in some prisons. Other tattoos can also denote how long a prisoner has been incarcerated, how many convictions and what kind of skills they believe they have etc.

It can be quite interesting to discover just how much symbolism is present in prison tattoos and how they vary from nation to nation, although there are some tattoos that are to be found in prisons all over the world.
In Mexican prisons for example, their convicts tend to have more tattoos the longer they have been incarcerated although if someone is found to have a tattoo that the others feel they do not deserve, the other gang members may actually remove the tattoo themselves.

The majority of tattoos that are completed inside prison are done without too many complications; however, there can be situations where problems arise, such as infections that can lead to further complications such as blood poisoning. There is also an increase chance of catching a virus such as Hepatitis and even Aids than there would be if the tattoo had been done by a professional tattooist. It seems that many forget this is a permanent bodymodification.

The Positive Side Of Divorce

some part of me died with it. (6/52)
(Photo credit: judie uffe)

I recently became single again and I have to say that I am actually enjoying being back in the bachelor life! It is surprising how easy it was to slip back into being single again after a few years of marriage. Now I have to jump in and say don't feel sorry for me, the break up was the right thing. We didn't have kids and we had grown apart. It was very amicable and we are still friends. I think the issue was that we both got married because it was expected! If we had just stayed dating we might still be together, but I have come to realise that I am not marriage material and to be honest, neither was she! We got along great as a dating couple, but once we got married and lived together it all seemed forced. I am glad that we were able to just admit to each other that it wasn't working as it saved a lot of pain and heartache.

When we broke up, a lot of people were quick to point out the negative side of bachelor life, but you know what? There are some pretty great points to consider too! The first major point is that being a bachelor gives you much more freedom and independence. You can be spontaneous when it comes to an impromptu night out or a last minute road trip and no-one is going to make you choose between football and DIY! It's not that I am anti-relationship, but being single definitely gives me more choices in day to day life! This also leads to having more control over my time. I am a busy guy, my work life is demanding. When I had to worry about coming home at a reasonable time for my wife I often had to cut my work day short. Now when I have a big project on I am able to work through it knowing that no-one will get on my case because dinner got cold. It also gives me more time to enjoy my own hobbies. Fishing can be a weekend activity instead of a once a month treat! Of course, one major advantage is money! It is actually much cheaper to be a bachelor than it is to be a married man! No expensive dates or gifts for Christmas, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Valentines and so on! I also have the opportunity to blow cash on frivolous things like video games completely guilt free!

I'm not saying I will revert to the stereotypical college bachelor life, sitting in my underpants eating cold pizza for breakfast with not a clean plate in the house! If anything, my ex-wife trained me in cooking and cleaning and I am capable of fending for myself! Maybe that was the purpose of our marriage? To turn me into a successful single? One thing is certain, I am going to make the most of my bachelor life and not dwell on the negatives of divorce. After all,it was the best choice for both of us and it allowed us to remain friends instead of becoming bitter and twisted shells of ourselves who loathe each other.
