L.A. Police Gear

L.A. Police Gear; not just for police officers.

Originally founded by L.A. police officers, L.A. Police Gear has grown to serve the general public, military personnel, and security professionals as well as police officers. As a mom to a Sea Cadet and future Navy Officer this site is definitely getting bookmarked, shared and revisited.

I am sure both of my boys will enjoy exploring the products available at L.A. Police Gear. One example of the unique products available there is 5.11 Tactical Pants. These durable pants are available in four colors; coyote brown, sage, tundra, and walnut. Helping you be prepared for any situation, these are not just pants. They are a piece of equipment that has been used by federal, state, and local law enforcement for more than 15 years.

L.A. Police Gear offers a secure website with immediate encryption upon the entry of your credit card number. Never in the history of L.A. Police Gear has there been a breach in their security system. So you can feel safe placing your order knowing that you are doing business with a security minded company.

The site is easy to navigate. You will easily and quickly find the products you are looking for. Adding to your shopping convenience is an order tracking service. This allows you to follow up on the processing of your order once you have placed it any time day or night.

A few other great services offered by L.A. Police Gear are quotes for large orders with competitive pricing, GSA pricing, shipping to active duty personnel, fax or mail orders, and purchase orders for government agencies on orders of $500 or more.

Another great thing about L.A. Police Gear is that they are a small business that is woman owned. I am all for supporting both!

Big Pharmacy

I found this while dropping cards through Entrecard on the DorkChow blog. I actually do have a subscription through Dr. Mercola's website. As mentioned on DorkChow this is a promotion for a new book, but the information is real and true. What do you do to take control of your health care?

Our family has been without health insurance for years, and I am actually grateful. Sure this has cost us some serious cash flow now and again, but in my thinking it is totally worth it. No one dictates to us what doctors we can and cannot see, what type of care we have to have, or what type of treatment we are allowed to seek.

The amount of trust that is bestowed upon the medical industry always baffles me. We are afraid to speak to a stranger Online, leave our children in the care of a sitter, fly on an airplane, you name it, but we will let a complete stranger cut open our bodies and change the parts around like a mechanic on an automobile. What?

I am sure this short video will cause you to pause and think long after it's viewing:

Lost and Found

Well, as you know if you've read much here, our family is big. Over half of our seven children are off and on their own. In January we had an influx of kids hanging their hats here, so to speak. We had the uncomfortable task of assisting them in transitioning from one place to another on their life journey.

Anyway, in all the accommodating and moving around of things we experienced a few side effects that are just beginning to heal themselves. We keep finding remnants of those that transitioned here. I have three bags sitting in the office of said remnants waiting to be returned to their rightful owners.

The largest side-effect was the consumption of our garage by items that just seem to have planted themselves there. My big project for this summer is to go through the garage, return what is wanted by non-residents, sort and price the remaining items, and have a garage sale. Of course, we are all about simple living, therefor all remaining items will be donated to charity.

By far the most frustrating and puzzling side-effect suffered was the misplacing of my pictures from the living room. See our first set of transitioning individuals found their way to our home New Year's Eve. This means that Christmas decorations were still up, which in turn means that normal wall hangings and such were put away to allow for seasonal decorating.

You do realize that it is now almost SEVEN MONTHS since decorations came down, right? I could remember where they were before we changed everything around to accommodate unexpected residents, but where they landed after that has been a real mystery. I have searched high and low for these personal treasures.

I just love hidden blessings! We had to pull everything out of the office closet today to allow access to the space under our house for and unexpected meter reading for the city. See, here we have a water meter outside, and we have a water meter inside. Ours just happens to be located under the house in the old Michigan Basement accessed via the crawl space through the bottom of the closet. What at first seemed like a minor inconvenience became an unexpected brightener of my day.

Guess what I found? The missing pictures!!! I was SO happy. Remember, I said this was a personal treasure, right? My husband came home for lunch, as he always does, and he didn't even notice, despite that the living room finally looks all put back together! :-)
