I never thought I’d say this, but I’m thankful for grammar. You heard me right. I’m thankful for grammar. I guess maybe I should say that I’m thankful that I learned grammar. It’s really true. As an author, I learned quickly to be grateful for those years of elementary school, junior high, and high school grammar class.

Do you remember sitting through those dreadful grammar classes? I sure do. I remember being asked to memorize the function of a noun, pronoun, verb, adverb and adjective. And I remember learning the difference between the subject of the sentence and the predicate of that same sentence. I have no real memory of how the concepts of grammar made it off the pages and from the teachers’ mouths into my head, but they did. I never intentionally paid attention during grammar class because at that time I was years away from deciding to be a writer. I guess the grammar I needed to learn somehow came to be through osmosis. Think about our what our society would be like without the existence of grammar.

Basically, grammar is the thing that allows us to communicate the same kind of English. Sure, you and I both know what a dog or a tomato are, but what if you thought that each sentence that ended with a period was really a question. Wouldn’t that be confusing? Or what if I decided to write my next novel uses sentences like this: “Told Billy to Sarah loving a mother being a.” Does that make sense to you? Of course not, because that sentence was not written with proper English grammar in mind. If we’re lucky or just have a good imagination then we can determine that Sarah is telling Billy something about loving to be a mom. But without grammar, understanding even the most common English words just isn’t easy.

Do you love to sit down and read a good book? Or perhaps relaxing in front of a movie is your cup of tea? Do you enjoy surfing the internet for the latest facts and news? If you enjoy any of these things, then you better appreciate grammar. It is proper grammar that allows you to read a book or to understand the script of a film or even to make sense of the internet.

If you still are not convinced about the importance of grammar to your life, trying having a conversation using mixed up sentences like the one I wrote for you earlier. It is pretty hard to make it through a day when no one understands each others thoughts or questions.

Fortunately, because we have grammar, we never have to worry about miscommunicating with people because of the way we arrange our words. So be thankful for grammar because I guarentee it has made your life a lot easier.

A lot of people love their tattoos and keep them forever. But others decide a couple of years down the road that they really don’t like that rose on their ankle or snake on their bicep anymore. Or maybe that name that is tattooed on your arm is no longer valid, and needs to be changed? For centuries people have been following many traditional methods to get their tattoos removed.

Here, it is important to note that many cases of tattoo removal have resulted into scars, skin diseases and wounds. All this depends on several factors including size of the tattoo and its location as well as the length of time it has been on the skin.

There are several excellent methods of tattoo removal available today.

Laser treatment is one of the most common methods. Different wavelengths of light are used for different pigments. The laser beam passes through the skin and is absorbed by the ink. This causes the ink to break down so that it can be removed by the body’s lymphatic system.

Excision, where the dermatologic surgeon removes the tattoo with a scalpel and closes the wound with stitches (In some cases involving large tattoos, a skin graft from another part of the body may be necessary.

Dermabrasion is another removal method, which involves freezing the skin, then sanding the surface with an abrasive instrument. Because the pigments are located in the middle of the skin, pain, bleeding and or discomfort can be expected.

Salabrasion, in which a salt solution is used to remove the pigment, is sometimes used in conjunction with dermabrasion, but has become less common.

Surgical removal sometimes involves the use of tissue expanders (balloons inserted under the skin, so that when the tattoo is cut away, there is less scarring). Larger tattoos may require repeated surgery for complete removal.

Regardless of which method of tattoo removal is used, some scarring or color variations are likely to remain. And last but not the least - tattoo removal can be pretty expensive. Depending on factors like the size and design of the tattoo, removal can cost significantly more than the actual tattoo.

I received a gift basket from my mother-in-law several months ago, who told me in advance she was sending it. My traditional view of gift baskets is not necessarily a good one. The phrase “gift basket” conjures up pictures in my head of summer sausages and Florida fruits that eventually go bad for a lack of being eaten. I can now say, unequivocably, that the stereotype I held in regard to gift baskets is no more.

When the gift basket arrived, I was taken aback and somewhat pleasantly surprised by its contents. It was a spa products gift basket, with bath salts, body, face and hand lotions, bubble bath, cocoa butter rubs and soaps, exfoliators, facial products and body mist. I decided there was no time like the present to see if I might like any of the products, so I decided to give them a try. I’m usually very particular about what I purchase in regard to bath products, so I was skeptical that I would enjoy any of these, all of which I had never heard of.

Let me say that without a doubt, these were the finest bath products I have ever used. Not only did I enjoy them, I wanted to know more about them and where they came from. I found out the name of the website where the basket was purchased through my mother-in-law. Looking around, I saw that these were European spa products and with a little searching, could easily be ordered online. That was the information I needed, but the real surprise came from seeing all the different gift baskets available. If you can name it, there seems to be a gift basket out there for it. I simply had no idea how much variety there now is in being able to choose a gift basket.

Since my first great gift basket, I’ve sent several to friends and loved ones. I always get a lot of compliments on my choice of gift, as today’s gift baskets can be suited to any person or family. I’m really thankful that I now know what a great option these are for sending a gift.
