What would you say if someone told you that your doctor got his degree online? Many people assume that this is a bad thing but it can actually be a really great thing.
Reasons you should be glad to find out that your doctor got an online degree include:
- It means he is dedicated to his work. You can’t complete a degree online if you’re a slacker. There’s no one there to motivate you to get it done. Your doctor has a proven ability to commit to the job.
- It indicates a high level of intelligence. People who get online degrees often tend to be people who are really smart.
- It could mean that he has a specialty. Maybe he has an online occupation therapy degree or perhaps he attended one of the many online physician assistant programs. This can be done after completing a general medical degree.
- It suggests that he’s flexible and open-minded. The online degree is still new enough that students have to be out-of-the-box thinkers to do well in this type of setting.
- It definitely means he’s good with paperwork. Online degrees are writing-based degrees. Your doctor can do the research necessary to find the answers that you are seeking.
Now aren’t you glad your doctor might’ve gotten his degree online?

Thinking About College
Filed Under Education | Leave a Comment
It seems that the older that I get, the more I think about my younger years. It may sound silly, but back in my early twenties I really lived my life and was not burdened with the responsibilities that come with having a family.
It seems that my college diploma frames that are hanging on the wall in my office are the culprit when it comes to daydreaming about my days in college. Looking at those papers on the wall really gets me thinking about my life journey and how I ended up sitting here in the first place.
I suppose the biggest disappointment about the whole experience is that I didn’t realize how important those days were going to be in shaping me into the person I am today. If I had known, I might have paid more attention to the world around me, made better friends, and gotten more out of the experience.
But those days are gone, and even though I could go back to college, I would never have the same experience again. That makes me sad since I had so much fun there, and all that I am left with is a graduation picture frame with a younger me staring at me with his whole life ahead of him.
Sometimes I sure wish I was young again…

The Acronym HGH
Filed Under Education | Leave a Comment
Most people know what is being discussed when the term HGH is used. However this acronym might actually stand for something other than what you think it does. That’s because it is a fairly common acronym that is used to represent many different things.
Here are some of the different meanings of the acronym HGH:
- Human Growth Hormone. The most common way to use HGH is as a short name for human growth hormone. If you hear people talking about side effects of hgh or benefits of hgh then they are probably using the acronym to refer to this.
- Airports/airlines. There are actually two different ways this code is used in reference to airplanes. In France HGH is a code for the airline Atlantic Air Lift. In China it is the code for the Hangzhou Xiaoshan International airport.
- Hospitals. There are several hospitals throughout the world that are abbreviated HGH. One example is Hatinh General Hospital.
- Hollywood Ghost Hunters. HGH may also be short for this film production company that specializes in filming the supernatural.
- Hybrid Geothermal Heat. If you work in a specialized industry that utilizes this then this is what you would think of when people start talking about HGH.
What other meanings are there for the acronym HGH?

Going on a Road Trip
Filed Under Travel | Leave a Comment
It seems like it has been forever since my wife and I went somewhere alone, but this year, it looks like it is going to be a possibility. With the kids all busy with their own families this holiday season, we finally have some time that we can spend together.
So we are going on a trip.
Alright, it isn’t just a trip, it will be a getaway for us to a ski resort. My wife has always wanted to ski at Banff in Canada, so I thought I would take her there. She has made a number of sacrifices during our marriage, especially when it came to our kids, so I thought it was her turn to be first for a change.
But before we go, we need to pack. My wife is a bit of a list person (whereas I hate them), and she includes everything on there including our hearing aid batteries. Even though I don’t care for the lists, as long as she organizes the packing, we rarely forget anything.
Really though, I am not even really thinking about the packing, but instead I can’t wait to have some time alone with my wife. It will be nice to reconnect with the woman that I fell in love with so many years ago.

10 Clients of a Lighting Business
Filed Under Business | Leave a Comment
I recently did some research into the business of lighting. I was researching an article about high pressure sodium lights. However I ended up learning about the business end of being in the lighting industry.
On the website for Fulham Ballast, I found a lot of information about the types of clients that a lighting company might have. Ten of the types of clients listed there were:
- Customers who manufacture their own light fixtures but need bulbs and other specific lighting solutions to finish off their products.
- People who work with display cases that need to be lit up in order to show off the items within them.
- People who need lighting for making movies or for doing other types of entertainment.
- Signage companies that are interested in adding lights to their signs.
- The POP business.
- Businesses that work with pets that require special lighting (such as places that sell snakes which need terrarium lights).
- Various clients in the medical industry who might need special lighting.
- Fun clients like those who make or restore juke boxes and arcade games. The lights on these things are cool!
- Clients who are in the restaurant business or who work in the manufacturing and distribution of industrial refrigerators.
- Government agencies and business owners that need lights for streets or parking lots.
This all makes a lot of sense but I never stopped to think about how extensive this industry is!
