While it is proper etiquette to dance when asked, there are appropriate times when it is all right to politely decline. In other words, it’s OK, to say no. Generally you wouldn’t say no, just because someone is less experienced than you, or you don’t like the outfit they have on, or even if they have bad breath. (although you might want to share a mint or two) But it is perfectly acceptable to say no if someone has had too much to drink, or if they are inappropriate in any way.

I have had the good fortune to experience both of these happy occasions. One night, not long ago, down at the local honky tonk, a “regular” asked me to dance. Now this particular dude, is a fan of seeing just how many rotations he can get a lady to do, during one song. Kind of like the tea cups at Disneyland. The first time I actually danced with him, I got off the dance floor and was so nauseated that I had to go home. Now however, I can spin like a top. But back to the valid reason to just say “no”: Within a few seconds into our dance, I realized that Mr. Twirly Man was having a bit of a problem standing on his own two feet. Fortunately for me, I figured this out rather quickly and was able to do damage control and self preservation well enough to walk us both off the dance floor in one piece, no injuries.

Ras #2 (Cindy) was not quite so lucky………..I saw Mr. Twirly Man heading right towards her, before I could maneuver my way across the room to warn her, it was too late, and there they were, right in the middle of the dance floor….. I feared for the worst and was not disappointed (ok, evil side of me)….. Once, twice, three times around and then *crash*, she was on her rear, legs up, for all the world to see…… Not a fun dance had by all!

Needless to say, this is the perfect example of when to say no, which we both did, for the rest of the evening. And yes, we warned all of the other girls, too. Seems Mr. Twirly Man had a bit too much fun at “Alive After Five”, in Boise, before he came dancing. So, I guess the moral to this story is to bring a breath-alizer?

Another really good time to say no is when a “gentleman”, ( I speak the term loosely) is just a bit to “friendly”, dances just a bit too close for comfort, and/or has wandering hands or eyes. If keeping a stiff frame does not seem to do the trick, I’ll share a little tip that I use. I break free from his iron clad hold and say, “This is my dance space, this is YOUR dance space, now, Let’s Dance”! Thank you Baby Houser, (Dirty Dancing, in case you were wondering). If this does not work, I have been known to just simply turn and walk off the dance floor. Ladies, you do not have to put up with inappropriate behavior on, or off, (for that matter) the dance floor!

It doesn’t take too long to establish the un-dancables, and after saying no, three, four and sometimes even five times, they will eventually quit asking and leave you alone. They are a relentless bunch, so do not cave, or they will never leave you alone.

Luckily, this is not a common occurrence since most dancers’ generally drink water, but if you are out, in a bar, on a Friday or Saturday night, be mindful…… you can’t say that you haven’t been warned!

Of course men, I am speaking from my experiences as a “girl”, I am sure you all have your own horror stories, too. Please feel free to share, I would love to hear just how out of control we girls can be. Maybe it will help us keep our P’s and Q’s in check.

Happy Dancing!

Dieting seems to have become a way of life. Everywhere I go, I run into someone that is on some “new” diet. Whether they are taking HCG drops of eating low carb foods, the word “diet” always creeps into our conversations. From what I understand, there is a great website, in Canada, that offers nothing but low carb foods.

They are actually called The Low Carb Grocery and offer everything from low carb foods to actual low carb diets. I love that they actually have information on the Atkins Diet, Dr. Poon’s Metabolic Dies and even the Glycemic Index Diet readily available on their site. They explain what excess carbs in your body do and how you often put yourself on the blood sugar roller coaster by eating too many high carb foods.

They have recipes for low carb foods and other general information along with some really great fitness tips. I personally love the section on “Burning Calories Around the Clock;” eating protein and drinking milk, fiber and green tea are a yes, and alcohol is a no and of course, exercise is a must.

So, if you are looking for low carb foods in Canada, then you really should check out The Low Carb Grocery; they have everything in the world that you could ever want. They carry cheeses, chocolates, pancakes and waffles, crackers and chips, soups, spreads and even salsa and dips. There are nuts and seeds and oils and sauces. You can truly find whatever it is that you are looking for, so if a low carb diet is for you, and you live in Canada, then you may wish to check them out.

For the past several years West Coast Swing has been on a tear around the globe. New Zealand is no exception. West Coast Swing instructors have been flying all around the world teaching West Coast Swing and now that the dance has become so popular, other countries have begun to hold West Coast Swing Conventions, just like we do here, in the United States.

Right now there is a swing event going on in New Zealand; I have several friends that have the good fortune of attending the convention and then touring New Zealand. I am so jealous and can hardly wait to hear all about their trip!

I know that while they are there, they plan to take in as much of New Zealand as possible. They will be renting a car at the airport from Best Car Rental Auckland Airport, so that they can get around and see the island’s beautiful flora and fauna. Because of New Zealand’s high rainfall and abundant sunshine, the island is lush, with majestic evergreen forests, as well as other trees and flowers that you have never seen before. The island is famous for the yellow flowers of the Kowhai tree and the red flowers of the Pohutukawa tree.

There are a vast variety of birds, many of which do not fly; the once abundant Kiwi is now difficult to spot in the wild and may need to be viewed at a zoo or wild animal park. Some of New Zealand’s native birds include the playful kea, the lovable weka, the beautiful takahe with indigo plumage, the lovely singing tui and the morepork owl.

New Zealand is also known for its’ abundant sea life, as well as their many National Parks and Marine Reserves. So, needless to say, spending time in New Zealand will be exciting! If you are a motorbike rider, you will want to be certain to purchase New Zealand’s number one selling Dragon Goggles, fromMotomart Motorcycle Accessories ; you will be the envy of all of your friends when you return.

Luckily, the exchange rate of the United States currency to NZD will give you a few more dollars in your pocket. As of May 15, 2013, $100 US dollars will be exchanged to $121.22 beautiful, colorful New Zealand Dollars. Heck, while you are there, you may even wish to check out Home Loans New Zealand, as I am sure that your trip will end much too quickly!

Sometimes finding the silver lining in a poor situation can help to take the sting out of the very thing that that caused the poor situation. Take the recent collapse of the housing market.

When you have a medical condition or illness which requires medications taken on a daily basis, for long periods of time, it can become quite costly. Even if you have health insurance with prescription coverage, the copays may cause you a financial hardship.

Many people have chosen to start purchasing their medication online, from legitimate online pharmacies. These pharmacies can save a person a substantial amount of money. My advice to you would be to research the pharmacy prior to filling your prescription, thoroughly.

I find it interesting that Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin, also known as HCG, is now being used as a diet aid. HCG, as I know it is a natural hormone that is produce by pregnant females. I also know that it is an injection that is used by fertility specialists when a woman is undergoing infertility treatments, such as in-vitro fertilization.

In-vitro fertilization occurs when a woman’s ovaries ore overstimulated into producing many eggs. The medications that are often used during this process can be extremely expensive and many insurance companies do not cover these medications. HCG is one of them.

Often, whether a person is seeking an expensive medication either as a necessity, or a choice, they may have to look to other venues, in order to be able to afford that medication. Apparently, HCG is one of those medications that is now being used as a dietary medication. People are using HCG to aid in weight loss, along with a strict low caloric intake.

MedsIndia is an online pharmacy that offers HCG, as well as many other medications as a reduced rate. These medications can be ordered online and shipped directly to your home. Keep in mind however, that the FDA has NOT ruled that the use of HCG is proven either safe, or effective, as a weight loss supplement.

In this day and age, internet has become more of a necessity, than a luxury. That does not mean that we need to pay a luxurious price for it, though. With the overabundant use of the internet, the amount of choice that have resulted, allows us, as the consumer to choose an internet service that works into our budget and fulfills our needs.

With the availability of dial up service and DSL, the choice is ours. For some people speed is not an issue, so if you are only checking emails and staying connected with family and friends, you may wish to choose a dial up connection that is a bit less expensive than a DSL connection.

If you are looking for an affordable dial up or broadband internet service that is fast and reliable, you may wish to consider an American based internet service provider called Copper.net. Copper.net has a satisfaction guarantee policy with no set up fees and no contracts. They offer tech support that you can actually understand! I love that when I call them, I get an American speaking agent on the phone; it makes asking and answering my questions, so much more pleasant.

Copper.net services are available in the United States and Canada and start at the unbelievably low price of $9.95 a month for dial up service. The take pride in their service, their quality and their customer support, so if you are looking for internet service, dial up or DSL, then be certain to enter them into your equation.

My husband recently retired so for the past two years we spent hours and hours searching for real estate. We knew that upon his retirement we were going to relocate out of southern California to a place where the cost of living was not so high and where the population was much more spread out.

During one of our searches, we ran across a Calgary real estate website that looked extremely clean and well thought out. The Calgary real estate agents must have really done their homework on real estate websites because the very first thing that a person looking to purchase a home wants is a way to quickly search an area.

The last thing that they want to do is to have to search the entire website in order to begin looking at property. On their Calgary real estate website the “Quick Search” is right at the top of the page; no “searching required. The other thing that we loved about this website is the simple tabs at the top of the page. Whether you are buying or selling a home, the Calgary real estate agents have created drop-down menus that will direct you to everything that you need to know and to do, when buying or selling a home.

The ease of this site almost made me want to move to Calgary! We ended up in Boise, Idaho, so maybe someday we will just have to visit. From what I understand, the Calgary Stampede is a dance event that should not be missed! Country dance events are still my favorite, so maybe next year!
