Check Out This Cool New Clothing Line

At muzeclothing.com you'll discover a clothing brand called Muze, created by people who believe the right application of a classic movie line is a great way to get your point across. Tax time comes every year, a perfect time to break out "I can't have my wages garnisheed" (Fletch). Your buddy smashes a 290 yard drive on the golf course...you can't help but say, "Big hitter the Lama...long" from Caddyshack. Your boss badgering you about a task you've been assigned to might result in "Harry...I took care of It" (Dumb and Dumber). And what woman out there, after a long day at the office (or a bad date) hasn't said to herself... "I want the fairy-tale", a classic line from Pretty Woman?

We've created a clothing line that taps into the culture of those who relate movie lines to real life scenarios, a practice we call "Muzing". Each one of our shirts is created by starting with a popular "Muzing", and designing great graphics around the line to be printed on the highest quality tees we can find. Muze is a lifestyle brand for those who feel that a classic movie line and a great t-shirt are two of life's finer pleasures and to have them combined into a one-of-a-kind garment means we are in fact, "The ambassadors of Quan" (Jerry Maguire).

We've even created a maternity line for the expectant mother who wants everybody to "Say hello to my little friend" (Scarface). "Muzing" and maternity clothing go together like pickles and ice cream and by wearing one of our tee's, new moms everywhere can let the world know that "this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship" (Casablanca).

Come check out our collection at muzeclothing.com and see how we've put our knowledge of movies and love of apparel to use. You'll find a clothing company that strives to unite the sub-culture of those who practice the art of Muzing. When wearing one of our shirts, be prepared to discover just how many people think like you and offer to buy the shirt off your back. See you at the site, and "Stay Classy" (Anchorman).

You want to be me?

We have all heard horror stories of innocent victims who have had their identity stolen from thieves. Credit cards charged to the max, bank accounts tapped into. My own mother had her credit card used by a fraudulent user a few months ago. I’m not sure if it will ever be straightened out.

My husband is compulsive about records and numbers. Nothing can go in the trash with a number, name, or account. I try to make a joke about it with my husband “really, no one wants to be you.” We have 2 shredders – just in case one breaks down :0 I realize that this could potentially be a serious problem, but the likelihood of it happening to any one person is low. It has been called a nightmare by many for the person who has their identity used. Therefore, we are vigilant with our records and “numbers.”

The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) offers a PowerPoint presentation, streaming video, and multiple downloadable brochures to educate the public about ID theft. There are also various resources to help those who have had their identities stolen. These include what to do and how to file reports and complaints.

Educate yourself, family and children about Identity theft … I’ve heard that someone may want to be you!

Messages we send to children

In my house watching TV is a privilege that must be earned with good behavior and completion of all school work and chores. The reward is 1 hr of “screen” time. Our child can choose between computer, TV, game system, or supervised Internet play. Very rarely is TV chosen and as parents, we are elated that this is “given up.”

Pre-teen programming has many issues that send our child into rages. Violence, disrespect for adults, picking on other children, and the list continues. This is just speaking of the programming and not the commercials. The commercials promote a “want” atmosphere with a sedentary life of playing games via “screens”, eating and drinking unhealthy products filled with high fructose corn syrup, dyes, and other substances that a growing mind and body can do without.

Britain is taking a step in the right direction by discontinuing all commercial that promote Junk foods with high fat, sugar and salt. Below are a two UK links on this topic:

What lead up to this ban? Who is responsible? We need to bring those people into the US and strive for the same outcome. We would still have to deal with many other issues surrounding poor children’s programming and commercials, but promoting healthy eating for this young generation may enable these young people to live a longer and healthier life.

Many schools are stepping in the right direction by banning junk on campus. Again, Britain is taking the lead and banning all junk foods in all schools across the country.

Students are still able to bring junk food to school with them. In reality, this problem needs to be more closely monitored by concerned parents who are striving to raise emotionally and physically healthy children.
