Pleasant Creek West Virginia

-

 We took the time to visit Pleasant Creek West Virginia only to find the lake mostly drained. The only thing I could imagine was that the Tygart River Dam had been fully open and drained the back side of the Tygart Lake. Pleasant Creek, although not a state park is a wildlife management area and includes boating, skiing, swimming, fishing, gun ranges, and more. This little area is a local favorite for fishing and swimming. 

If you are driving down RT119 and come to the Taylor County Barbour County line turn into the Pleasant Creek area for a nice little day trip if you'd like a picnic and swimming with the family. All are welcome to visit this little beach and I recommend it. I think I'd rather visit on a weekday as it can be very busy on hot weekends. 


In the video I show you the entire lake and how low the water levels are. From where I am standing you can see the parking area and the beach area. Hope you enjoy the video and please subscribe to the channel and the blog.

ONN 7 inch Tablet Review

-

The Surf Onn Gen 2 7 inch tablet from Walmart is exactly what you'd expect from a Walmart tablet. The screen is decent but not great and the apps tend to crash from time to time. I bought the base model for $49 and got 2gb of RAM and 16gb of internal storage that was actually 11 from the pre installed apps.  As for usage the tablet performed well enough to be considered a nice entry level tablet and I feel the kids could use this as a cheap dedicated YouTube machine. Although folks who already have a taste for the big boy toys like the iPad or Samsung tablets may find this to be a toy.  Would I recommend this for anyone? Yes, surprisingly I would. This is a perfect entry level tablet for those who have a tight budget and need a machine to get online with for school, entertainment, kids enjoyment, or to simply apply to jobs, email, and other personal needs. This tablet will get the job done as long as its light work.

I’m Attending Southern New Hampshire University Online

 Hello friends. I’ve been doing some thinking lately. Although I do have a job it’s just a part time job and that leaves me with some free time. The job that I have isn’t the job that I’d like to retire from for sure. I just haven’t been happy with where my life has taken me. I felt it was time to make a few changes. Well I got online and looked for the best online colleges that I could find. I found a few and even tried one that didn’t work out.  Southern New Hampshire University seemed to be a good fit. The cost was dramatically less than other online schools. It does have a brick and mortar school that can be attended. And the reviews for the school aren’t all horrible. In other words it isn’t a diploma mill.  I’m only in my first class so far and it is a class about cultural diversity. I guess that’s a pretty good class for someone majoring in psychology. I’ve learned all about communicating with someone from a different culture than me. Culture could mean anything from race, sexua

Overcoming Depression

This week I decided to continue a series on depression. There are ways to help relieve some of the symptoms of depression. Finding a hobby or simply petting an animal can help overcome severe depression. In this video I discuss ways to overcome depression and help relieve some of the symptoms. I am no doctor nor am I a therapist but I live with chronic depression and bipolar disorder. I've lived with this since I was fourteen and I am now forty three. I know what depression is and I know what helps me. Sometimes depression wins while other times I can manage to force myself into doing something. I feel better after I use the tips from the video. Please watch and don't forget to subscribe.
