Finding quality restaurant furniture has to be quite a challenge. I admit, I’ve never done it…but I fear that my taste and what I would want might put my budget in the red if I owned a restaurant.

A California state advisory panel has recommended that the state conduct an investigation into whether caffeine poses a risk to unborn children.

The recommendation from the Science Advisory Board Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee is nonbinding, but the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment promised to “give it heavy weight because this is a panel of scientific experts.”

If the state determines that caffeine poses a risk to unborn children, it would have to place warning labels on certain caffeine-containing beverages.

Studies have linked caffeine consumption to miscarriages, premature birth and low birth weight. However, a variety of health groups including the College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the March of Dimes and the Mayo Clinic have given the green light to consuming up to two cups of coffee or seven caffeinated soft drinks per day for pregnant women.

This ambiguity is part of why the board concluded that further studies are needed.

I live in an older home with a unattached garage. My garage, believe it or not, is as big as a house. I’m not sure of the square footage, but it is a triple garage with a full attic second floor. I believe what we call our “garage” in actuality was originally a barn for our house about a hundred years ago.

We are fortunate to have our house sided, but our garage is not sided…and painting this huge building is a project we are going to be dealing with in the not-too-distant future. Let me just say…I do not like painting. A paintbrush in my hand is not really a good thing…I am an unbelievably SLOPPY painter. It’s pretty scary how sloppy I am with a paintbrush. I start out all well and fine, but that doesn’t last long. I have stories I could tell, but I digress.

This is why, when it does come time to actually get our garage painted, my vote goes to hiring a good student painting company. This just makes sense to me. We get a job done that we don’t want to do ourselves, and we give our business to a company that employs students who need the money and experience.

I’ve looked into Collegepro before, and I liked what I saw - this company gets two thumbs up from me. If you have a painting job that needs done but you don’t relish the task, check out Collegepro!
