4 Commonly Asked Questions About Cialis

Capsule

When most men are first diagnosed with erectile dysfunction, or ED, a doctor or physician may begin to recommend different medications in order to help their patients remain sexually active. One of the most commonly prescribed medications is Cialis.

Most men never look into or understand the differences between ED medications until after their diagnosis. And it can be easy to feel confused and intimidated by the multitudes of opinions, dense terminology, and various lists of side effects when beginning to take Cialis.

Going on Cialis doesn’t have to be a scary and complex experience—in fact, Cialis is commonly prescribed, widely used, and generally quite safe for men with erectile disfunction to take. If your doctor has prescribed Cialis to you, or would like to know more about the medication, here are the answers to four of the most commonly asked questions about Cialis:

1.    How can I expect to feel after taking Cialis?

Perhaps the most common question for men that are prescribed Cialis is what they can expect in terms of sensation or feeling. Given the relative obscurity of open conversations about ED in greater society, it’s perfectly understandable to be unaware of what exactly Cialis does to your body.

According to the official Cialis website, the medication is typically prescribed and designed to be taken daily, as opposed to just before you would like to attempt intercourse. Of course, the goal of the medication is to eliminate common symptoms of ED and allow you to complete successful intercourse whenever the time is right—and Cialis is available for use as needed as well.

Common side effects and unintended consequences of taking Cialis includes headaches and indigestion as well as possible muscle aches and a runny nose. More serious but rare side effects can include an erection lasting longer than four hours and impaired vision. As with any medication, if any unexpected happens or serious side effects begin to appear, consult a doctor or physician immediately.

2.    How much does it cost to take Cialis?

Adding any new medication or prescription to your regimen will certainly have an effect on your finances, and Cialis is no different. Unfortunately, the daily cost for Cialis may be higher than you were expecting.

Even when compared with several vendors, the average cost of Cialis can be hundreds of dollars for a bimonthly or monthly dosage. Even with assistance from your health insurance provider, these pills can be pretty pricey.

If you’re concerned with the financial burden of taking daily Cialis, or you simply want to save money if you can, don’t put your health at risk by personally lowering your recommended dose. Many reputable sources for savings and discounts on Cialis are available. Utilizing one or more of these services can serve to help you keep costs down and help you afford to continue your fight with ED.

3.    Will this affect my other medications?

Adding another medication to your daily regimen is not as simple as an extra pill per day. Extraneous chemicals ingested orally can have adverse effects with each other, so be sure to consult with your doctor to ensure both of you know exactly what’s going into your body each day.

Aside from professional consultation, many helpful pieces of information about taking Cialis alongside other commonly ingested medication can be found on the Cialis website. Many of these recommendations are logical, and are to be assumed when taking medication—such as the need to avoid other ED medications, and ingesting too much alcohol.

But these aren’t the only things you need to avoid when taking Cialis. Those who suffer from hypertension (or high blood pressure) need to be especially careful when introducing Cialis into their bodies. Since both medications lower your blood pressure, taking both at the same time can result in a drastic change in blood pressure that can be hazardous and potentially fatal.

Alway remember to follow your doctor’s instructions when taking Cialis, and to never take hypertension medication at the same time as Cialis, unless otherwise professionally told to do so.

4.    How fast does Cialis work?

There’s a common misconception around ED medication and their effects on the body. And while it can be easy to assume that Cialis must be taken immediately before attempting intercourse, the truth is, the active ingredients in Cialis don’t need a heads up.

The Cialis website dictates that most prescriptions of the ED medication recommend a daily dosage that should last you all day. Or, in other words, there’s no need to take an extra dose if you’re planning to be sexually active immediately.

Alternatively, if you’re prescribed Cialis for use as needed, a 20mg dose can work as quickly as half an hour.

Regardless of how often you need to take Cialis, remember that the effects of Cialis last for up to 36 hours. If you find yourself sexually active more than once in such a time frame, there should be no need to take an extra dose.

Compared to many other ED medications on the market, there’s no bypassing the half hour it takes for Cialis to enter your bloodstream and take effect. In fact, much of the draw for men to use Cialis specifically is due to the freedom it grants, and the elimination of a need to plan around your pill for intercourse.

Conclusion

There are many misconceptions out that can be found about erectile dysfunction, drugs like Cialis, or the results and side effects that you may experience. Luckily, there’s a wealth of information online to be found that to inform you of how often you need to take Cialis, what to expect when on the pill, and different ways to seek discounts on your medication.

Don’t let Cialis and ED stop you from living your life or hurting your ability to have successful intercourse. We hope that these answers about the function and necessity of Cialis have given you some piece of mind when implementing Cialis into your daily routine. Soon enough, you’ll forget that you ever even worried.

How to Get Your Kids to Stop Begging

kids


Children can be very demanding. When they want something, they expect to get it, and will not take no for an answer. There are so many kinds of parenting styles; some parents are strict and others are pretty liberal. It is extremely important for parents to find a middle ground; to know when and how to discipline their young ones. Every house must have one basic rule: “No means No”. However, it can be really difficult to be firm with kids when they are constantly throwing tantrums to get things their way. Throwing tantrums does not make them greedy children; they just don’t know how to control their desires. It is hard not to say no to those adorable puppy-dog faces that they make, but parents have to be firm and consistent with their decisions. I remember this one time when I noticed a colleague hesitantly giving her daughter candy before lunch. When I questioned her about it, she admitted that she does so only because she was sick and tired of listening to her daughter’s tantrums. When parents give in to their children’s demands, not only do the kids get what they want, but they also gain knowledge for future reference that their parents can be easily convinced. It can be difficult to handle such kids, but with a few tricks up your sleeves, you will be able to finally get your kids to stop begging. Given below are a bunch of situations starring Parent and Child, where Child begs for something, and how Parent deals with it. Good luck!

SCENE ONE: The Departmental Store

SITUATION: Parent and Child are out grocery shopping. Finally, they reach the much dreaded candy isle. The Parent tries to divert the attention of the child, but the child runs right over to the tall rows of candy. The excited Child asks the Parent to buy a candy. Like all good parents, the Parent says NO. The Child asks again and again, but when he realizes that the Parent is trying to be firm, he falls to the ground, in public, and starts bawling. Embarrassed, the Parent has to buy the candy to make the Child stop crying in public. Child gets what he wants.
REMEDY: Saying NO over and over again does not put an end to the conversation. Initially, when the Child asks for candy, the Parent can say no. When the Child tries to beg, the Parent can just simply say “Asked & Answered”. It lets the Child know that the conversation is over. If you are consistent with it, your child will eventually stop begging!

SCENE TWO: “Parent, there’s this party tonight…”

SITUATION: The Child nervously approaches her Parent. Gathering up enough courage, the Child asks the Parent if he can go for a party tonight. After asking for details, the Parent says no and justifies their decision. The Child asks again. The Parent says no. The Child begs, and tries to emotionally blackmail the Parent to let him go. Feeling bad, the Parent gives in, and allows the Child to go.

REMEDY: It is extremely likely that a child will try to emotionally blackmail a parent to get his/her way. The Parent must stay firm no matter what the Child may say. The Parent takes the decision knowing what is best for the Child. When the Child asks for the first time, the Parent can say no and justify their decision. When the Child asks again, the Parent should say,” We have already spoken about it. This conversation is over.” Saying this dialogue over and over again like a robot will teach the Child that the Parent’s decision is final, and there is no point begging.

SCENE THREE: Grounded

SITUATION: The Child begs the Parent for permission to watch the television while having dinner. The Parent refuses, and reminds the Child that it is against the rules of the house to watch the television while eating dinner. The Child starts throwing tantrums and refuses to eat the food. The helpless Parent is forced to let the Child watch television, so that the Child eats his dinner.
REMEDY: It is really important for parents to remain firm with their decisions, so that the child understands that the parent cannot be taken advantage of. In this case, Parent should have really stuck to her decision in not allowing Child to watch television and eat dinner at the same time. By allowing the Child to do so, the Parent is letting the Child know that the rules of the house can be easily bent according to the demands of the Child. The Child will feel that throwing tantrums is the easy way to get what he wants. Instead, the Parent must be consistent with her decision, and stay by it no matter what. When the Child asks initially, the Parent can refuse and remind the child that it is against the rules of the house. When the Child asks again, the Parent can say,” The decision has been made. If you ask again, there will be consequences.” If the Child dares to ask again, the consequence will be that he will be grounded for a week. The Child might initially throw a lot of tantrums, but he will soon realize that nothing can make the Parent change her mind. Eventually, all the begging will stop!




How to Transition Your Elderly Parents into Your Home

Many people decide to move their children into their own home to provide love, care, and support as they age. Your parents have been there to love you and watch you grow up, and now you want to give back. If you’re considering moving your parents into your home, follow this guide to make the process easier.

parents at home

  1. Be Realistic About how Much Care You Can Provide

You want to give them the world, but you have to be realistic about the type of care you can provide. There are several factors to consider, including:

  • Your Budget

Your budget will affect how much care you can provide. You’ll need to factor in your parent’s lifestyle needs and medical costs to create a proper living situation that accommodates both of you.

  • Your Time

If you want your parents to move in with you, it’s time to make room in your schedule. If you have a job, a family, and other responsibilities, making time can be tough. Rearrange your schedule with you and your partner to determine what you can both handle.

  • Your Space

Your parents will need their own room if they’re to live with you. You may need to move your kids to the same room, or add a bedroom downstairs to accommodate them.

  1. See if Your Parent can Contribute

If your parent has a retirement savings, ask them to contribute to their new living situation. Together, you can combine resources to pay for home renovations, cost of living, and a better living environment for everyone in the home. If you have other siblings or close family members, ask them to contribute to your parent’s care to ease the financial burden.

  1. Prepare Your Home

If your parent has a specific medical condition, you’ll have to adjust your home to accommodate them. Major modifications include stair lifts, hand rails, sit-down showers, slip-proof floors, and padding the corners of countertops and coffee tables.

Hire an occupational therapist or contractor to assess your home and suggest any modifications. They’ll take into account your parent’s special needs, including whether they use a wheelchair, a walker, or have another physical limitation. They may compile a list of changes like an entry ramp or brighter outdoor lighting to make your space livable for your parent.

  1. Speak with Your Family

Before your parents move in, you need to talk to your family about the changes they’ll face. Have an open discussion with your spouse and kids about what they can expect, and ask them about their needs. Negotiate together what you can accommodate within the family and establish a new routine for everyone to follow. If you have young children, talk to your spouse or partner about splitting the family responsibilities between the two of you.

  1. Set Up Family Activities

You need to make the most out of the remaining time you have with your loved one, so plan activities that the whole family can enjoy. Cook a Sunday dinner together, or have a game night once a week. Engage your parents by having them share their memories with the whole family, and take them on a day trip once a month. Create family memories together that you and your kids can look back on for years to come.

family activities

  1. Consider a Caretaker

You love your parent, but you may not be able to shoulder the responsibility on your own. Lack of time and unforeseen circumstances may require you to rely on a caretaker for help. A professional home caregiver will allow you more time to tend to your responsibilities without leaving your parent alone.  Additionally, home caregivers provide medicine reminders, basic housework, and personal care.

If your parent suffers from dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, or another neurological impairment, consider installing the best medical alert systems to help. With a medical alert device, you can track your parent using a built-in GPS. Should they get confused, have a fall, or suffer another unforeseen circumstance, they can click a button and alert an emergency service right away.

If you’re planning to move your parent into your home, consider these steps to arrange the right accommodations for your family.




How can you be a Great Networker?

become a better networker

Networking basically involves interacting with others, something that is absolutely necessary to be a successful entrepreneur. Taking note of others’ expectations and adjusting our behavior accordingly, to leave a positive impression isn’t something that everyone is equipped with. This article is going to list down some qualities you could work on:

  • Good Listener: Success comes to those who listen and learn. When you listen to your customer’s requests and queries, you’re able to gather all the information and then make the appropriate changes to fit your customer’s need. Listening skills also improve a company’s interaction with customers.
  • Positive Attitude: Having a positive attitude and greeting your customers with a wide smile certainly pays-off, because believe it or not there’s a lot more to business than pushing your product. Have a “Can-do” attitude. If you believe, only then can you convince the world to believe in it too. Enthusiasm is a contagious energy. When you are enthusiastic about something, you increase the positive energy around you. It relaxes others, and people are more receptive to you and your message.
  • Be collaborative: Get out of the ‘doing-it-only-for-myself’ zone and have a willingness to help others. Helping others shows you care and it builds trust. Trust is important for every transaction- business or personal.
  • Sincerity and Authenticity: People in this field when you are faking it. Faking it isn’t sustainable — and it doesn’t work. Clear your head of the distractions and try to focus on the speaker and less on what’s going around you. Listening demands full attention as difficult as it may sound. Try to shut off your own agendas and listen to what the other has to say.
  • Communicate Clearly: A conflict can arise when an individual feels misunderstood or mistreated, so try to ask more questions to clear everything out.
  • Follow up: You can’t have a great first conversation and never catch up again. The real game lies in the follow ups, most people lose the ball when they don’t follow up.
  • Trustworthy: Competence is nothing but simply the ability to do something. And there is no doubt that competency arises from guaranteeing your work. No one will work with you if they are not able to trust you.
  • Approachable: Allow people to feel comfortable around you, and they will never forget you. Effective deals and networking start with approachability.



Unbecome Everything That Isn’t You

Be you

“Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.”

The world is a very pretentious place. We are everything, but ourselves. From Instagram filters to fake nails, from wearing uncomfortable high heels to keeping up with the cigarette smoke, from hiding behind mushy comfort zones to locking up our emotions. We’ve built these walls, covering up our flaws, trying to play safe, and over time suffocating ourselves as those walls push us to the edges.  But why have we built these walls? What is blocking you from seeing your true reflection? Why do you do things you know you don’t like? Do you want to impress someone? Are you embarrassed that no one likes the real you? Do you want to fit in? How would you define yourself in your own terms? Who are you really?

When you look at a sunset, you don’t find yourself suggesting corrections. You can’t control a sunset. Each morning it’s different. You just sit there, with an overwhelming feeling of reverence. People are the same as sunsets; everyone is different, yet beautiful in their own way.

Have you looked at your face in the morning, right after you’ve woken up? It has bizarre glow. That tells you what you actually are. The scars, freckles, moles, tattoos, birthmarks, are all exposed. These are evidence, reminding you that you have lived, you’ve grown and maybe you’ve fallen down a few times, but you haven’t given up, because you are still there looking into the mirror, before you are ashamed of all that truth and you decide to cover it all up with makeup. If you are ashamed to face yourself every day, you are not living it right.

Cultivate yourself. Just be yourself. You are not what you pretend; you are much more than that. You are different, you have your own cracks, and that how your inner lights comes out, blinding the whole world with your glow. You are talented, you are powerful, you are beautiful. You are enough.

Strip away all the filters that is hiding the raw you. Come out of your skin, and don’t let anyone try to put you back in. Dance, even when the world is stepping on your feet. Like a dandelion, lose your mind into the wind, and scatter into a thousand seeds. Break free of the chains that keep to inside the four walls. Your grief would become a window, when you would be able to see what you couldn’t before, through a glass of your most battered dream.




10 Tips on Surviving Pregnancy Number 2

second baby

You made it through one pregnancy, so a second should be no problem, right? Although this seems like common sense, it couldn’t be further from the truth. Experienced moms with multiple pregnancies, deliveries, and babies under their belts can attest to the fact that every pregnancy is different. Predicting how pregnancy number 2 will play out is impossible: That’s where these survival tips come in!

Be prepared for new sensations.

As much as you might be dreading them, it’s a good idea to reacquaint yourself with pregnancy symptoms. At the same time, note that there are likely to be some differences between your first pregnancy and your second. For example, the Mayo Clinic reports that your breasts might show fewer changes, but your bump might show earlier. You might feel baby’s motions earlier too!

If you had complications during your first pregnancy, know that they might return.

If you had gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, high blood pressure, or any other complications during your first pregnancy, it is possible that they might return during your second pregnancy. The good news is that you now know what to watch for, and that you have developed strategies for coping, if necessary. Reduce associated stress by sharing your concerns with your doctor before any problems arise.

Remember how you coped during your first pregnancy.

How did you deal with your sore back? What helped keep your feet from swelling? Which foods made you feel good? Recalling some seemingly insignificant details can help you feel more comfortable throughout your pregnancy.

Prep your body for labor, delivery, and postpartum demands.

Many women find that their bodies recover more slowly from the second pregnancy than from the first. Ask your doctor if it’s OK to exercise, and then enjoy the process of building your strength. You can take your current child on walks with you or even get him or her involved in your prenatal yoga routine, making fitness more fun and for the second time around, a dual girdle should help you even when exercising isn’t an option, that’s why so many turn to a postpartum girdle from Bellefit.

Consider taking a refresher labor and delivery course.

If it’s been a while since you had your first child, consider signing yourself and your partner up for labor and delivery courses. Be sure to practice your breathing and kegels just like you did during your first pregnancy.

Plan for childcare ahead of your expected due date.

Make plans as early as you can, and you’ll alleviate some of the third-trimester stress that comes with adding a new baby to an already-busy household. Grandma, an aunt, or even a family friend might be willing to stay with your first child while you’re at the hospital.

Let some things go.

Let your toddler watch more TV so you can relax. Let up on the housework (just a little) if you’re exhausted, or hire someone else to help out once a week. Allow your first child to eat more convenience foods, or pre-pack snacks all at once so you have a little less work to do each day. Cutting a few insignificant corners can help a lot, so consider easing up!

Look forward to shorter labor.

While it’s not always the case, your second visit to the labor and delivery department might be shorter than the first. This is definitely something to look forward to!

Know that love is an unlimited resource.

Many second-time moms are worried about whether they’ll have enough love to share with a new baby. Love is something that expands and grows. Your second child will be just as precious as your first – and it will be a lot of fun to share all the new experiences together.

Have fun preparing child number one for life as an older sibling.

It can be a lot of fun to share your pregnancy with your first child, and bond over how much your family will love having a new baby to care for. Read special stories to prepare for baby’s arrival, teach songs, and make this time special. It’s one of the best things about pregnancy number two!

All Good Things Must Come to an End

adventurous

Why do things that feel so right end? Why does your best friend need to move to another country? Why does the college trip have to end? Why do we all need to graduate and take up a job, instead of staying in college all our lives? Why do we need to move to a job which pays better, leaving the one which was so comfortable? Why can’t we simply continue our life the way it is right now?
Nothing lasts forever. Not even your best experiences. Things we embrace, times we enjoy, people we love, all come to an end. What eventually stay are the million memories we’ve made all along. A good book, school, college, a movie, your favorite TV show, all end at some point.
Remember your past in a glorious manner, instead of cribbing about the changes in your life. Let us rejoice our memories and be glad about it.

All good things must end, because there is always better, which is yet to come. There is always a more adventurous experience waiting for you at your doorstep. You need to accept the fact that this is now over, and instead of being sad about it, you should be excited about the new beginnings. As they say, every end is another new beginning.

Sometime you need to let go of things simply because you don’t want things to go bad in future. At times things that were good go sour only because you held on to it for far too long. At times things which are good right now are disrupted by unfortunate life events which leave a long-lasting negative effect. All of a sudden, something that was a source of joy and comfort is gone, leaving us with a bewildering void. Realize the right time. Leave before things go south.

Maybe at this point you are complaining about why it ended, but there would be a point in life when you would be mature enough to understand why it was necessary. You would realize that whatever happened was meant to happen and everything you are today, you are because you let things go at the right time.

‘The light is more powerful than the dark; and perhaps, in some sense, knowing those moments in our past that still glow are enough to enable us to let them go.’




Cat in the Hat for President on Board the Carnival Pride

About a month after returning from a cruise on the Carnival Sunshine (more on that later) our family was invited to visit the Carnival Pride in Baltimore, MD for a day of fun, food, friends and fanfare.Cat in the Hat for President

We were invited to help Cat in the Hat win the Presidential Race along with Thing 1 and Thing 2 as his running mates.  In case you  haven’t noticed it’s an election year. You and your family may have noticed some commercials on television.

Along with his recent presidential announcement, The Cat in the Hat released a new book, One Vote, Two Votes, I Vote, You Vote. Perfect timing don’t you think? This book is meant to teach children why we vote, how we vote and who can vote.  Of course this is done with the whimsy and fun that other Dr. Seuss books brings to childhood literature. Carnival Cruise Lines wants kids to know they have a voice and it should be heard loud and clear.  Maybe this is why Carnival is called the Fun Ship. The kids get exactly what they want and end up having an amazing vacation.

Kid Friendly Cruising with Carnival is easy with all the amenities on board to keep kids occupied for days.

  • Camp Carnival, Circle C & Club O2
  • Seuss at Sea
  • Sweet Spot
  • Waterworks
  • Hasbro the Game Show
  • SportsSquare
  • Dive in Movies
  • Mini Golf
  • and so much more on and off the boat

After a loud parade led by Schwartz, an amazing brunch of Green Eggs and Ham, Froot Loop French Toast, some photo ops and chatting with old and new friends we were given the freedom to roam the boat and see how it measures up to the other ships we’ve already seen.

The Carnival Pride has recently gone through a renovation to include fan favorite dining/drinking options such as Guy Burger Joint, Red Frog Pub, Alchemy Bar, BlueIguana Cantina and more.  

What I found was a very romantic feel as soon we got above the belly of the boat. I’m not sure what was new but I fell in love with the lighting, the bold furnishings and all the hallways.  Those gave a secret, tucked away feeling.

Overall we’ve decided that the Carnival Pride is the next ship we’re boarding for a cruise. We already love cruising and with the amenities added in recent years we know we’ll  have a wonderful time.

Follow us on Instagram to see more of this day and our recent cruise through the Caribbean, Melinda on Instagram and Rob on Instagram.




Carnival and Carrie Underwood Support Operation Homefront

You’ve heard me talk about Carnival Cruise in the past. While they are truly one of the best vacation adventures our family has taken they are also an amazing supporter for communities in need.  They recently announced an initiative with Carrie Underwood and Operation Homefront to help raise funds for military families.

During her The Storyteller Tour, Carrie Underwood will treat selected military families, chosen in partnership with Operation Homefront, to personal meet-and-greets 10 different concert appearances.
