Chimps circulars chiropractors and computers

Well, I got back from another sessions on the rack at the chiropractors, aches a bit afterwards but then I feel great, everything is aligned and I don’t feel like a bent-over old man. Doctor is still trying to get me to go several times a week, but I am sticking to once a week. I was in the office, adjusted and out within five minutes, co-pay is $15.00 I wonder what the insurance pays.

I added a little something in my sidebar between the “Recent Posts” and “Recent Comments” sections Some advertising space for charities and non-profits organizations to promote themselves in free of charge. So if you know of a charity or non-profit organization that needs some extra promotion space let me and them know. I just added one that I saw via a post on our electronic bulletin board at work.

It is for the Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest, they are a new place that has built a shelter and safe haven for chimpanzees. Their site says:

CSNW is a sanctuary for captive chimpanzees who have been exploited by the entertainment and biomedical industries, one of only nine such sanctuaries in the United States. The organization was founded in 2003 on a 26-acre farm in Central Washington, approximately 100 miles east of Seattle. In four years we have made several major accomplishments.

They have some chimps due to arrive there in Spring 2008 and I quote again:

We are excited to announce that the first residents at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest (CSNW) will be seven chimpanzees from the Buckshire Corporation, a laboratory in Pennsylvania. Annie, Burreto, Foxy, Jamie, Jody, Missy and Negra will move to Cle Elum in spring 2008, where they will share an 18,000 cubic-foot indoor facility. The chimpanzees, six females and one male, range in age from 24 to 34 and will live the rest of their lives–up to 60 years–at the sanctuary.

This sounds like an awesome place and a chance for these chimpanzees to live out the rest of their lives in peace and safety. I suggest checking them out and they are looking for volunteers, supplies and donations.

Before I heard about them I had come up with a rating system on my Blogger blog for when I do reviews and am using chimps instead of stars and have an imaginary chimp helping me out. Now I need to check if I will fall foul of CSNW for exploiting a chimp, albeit imaginary!

But seriously, I think they are doing a wonderful thing and I wish them every success and hope the new arrivals thoroughly enjoy their new homes.

I came home and Carolyn was sifting through the circulars and other junk mail, she keeps the coupons and ads from the groceries, we seem to be getting a lot of car insurance crap. Note to same: We have no vehicle. All manner of other insurances like term life insurance are in abundance. These aren’t too bad right now as we are looking for some new life insurance coverage anyway. She starts swearing, and I go over to see what at. She is bemoaning all the stuff we are getting about seniors and retirement, I am turning 50 next year I’m not quite a senior yet!

What can I say I like older women LOL.

As my Sony computer is still a heavy paperweight we are looking for a new computer for me, trying to decided whether to get a laptop or another desktop. I’m erring on the side of the desktop then I can link the two 17″ flat screen monitors together and be really geek like.
