Hey everyone, just a quick update on one of the gifts I got for my wife this Christmas which has been a huge hit: Cuisinart ICE-100 Compressor Ice Cream and Gelato Maker Don’t let its small size deceive you. This is a great little ice cream maker. First a little background. My wife is pretty difficult to please when it comes to ice cream. For the most part, Haagen Daaz, Ben & Jerry’s, and the […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Recently, I’ve been talking about Sleep Hygiene, mostly in regards to Sleep Apnea. However, today I wanted to talk about something a little different — Weighted Blankets. Weighted Blankets? Yea. As long as I’ve known my wife, she’s had problems sleeping for any long period of time. Over the course of any given night, she wakes up at least a few times, and it usually takes her awhile to […]

For example, if I get at least 5-6 hours with the mask, I don’t feel horribly tired. If […]

It’s the first experience of this where you do a few weeks in multiple different rotations. Just when you think you’re finally beginning to […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays… on Tuesday. Today is just a short post to explore “What is gustatory rhinitis?”. Gustatory Rhinitis? Yea. It’s kind of funny, but ever since I can remember, whenever I ate too much I would start sneezing and my nose would start running. I never really understood why. It’s kind of becoming a running joke between my wife and I because whenever I start sneezing after we eat she would know […]

Oahu Real Estate
Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today I’m just going to talk about “What’s the Deal with Real Estate?” What’s the Deal with Real Estate? Whenever people talk about “where to put their money” the usual echo’d answer is “Just buy real estate”. They may even throw in this quote: “Buy land, they’re not making it anymore.” – Mark Twain They will extol the virtues of passive income and downplay any issues they may have […]
