Alpha Zulu Bracelets is run by two of my very good friends, Adrian & Britney. These bracelets are paracord survival bracelets.

from wikipedia:

Parachute cord (also paracord or 550 cord) is a lightweight nylon kernmantle rope originally used in the suspension lines of US parachutes during World War II. Once in the field, paratroopers found this cord useful for many other tasks. It is now used as a general purpose utility cord by both military personnel and civilians. This versatile cord was even used by astronauts during STS-82, the second Space Shuttle mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope.

The same properties which soldiers appreciate in paracord are also useful in civilian applications. After World War II parachute cord became available to civilians, first as military surplus and then as a common retail product. While some commercially available paracord is made to specification, even when labeled as such a given product may not correspond exactly to a specific military type and can be of differing construction, quality, color, or strength. Particularly poor quality examples may have significantly fewer strands in the sheath or core, cores constructed of bulk fiber rather than individual yarns, or include materials other than nylon.

Paracord has also been used by many since the 1970s for whipmaking. The durability & versatility of this material has proved beneficial for performing whip crackers & enthusiasts. Since nylon doesn’t rot or mildew, it has become known as an all-weather material for whipmaking. Nylon whips have grown in popularity over the last few decades, more so in the last several years

There are many places on the internet where you can find these bracelets, but I of course, choose to buy from Alpha Zulu. I’ve found some on the net that cost around $25 but I don’t think I’m willing to pay that much for them. Anyway, AlphaZulu has decided to start picking a charity to donate one weeks profit to. For a week, started Monday, Novemer 9th, they will donate 100% of their profits to the Breast Cancert Research Foundation. For information about sizing and colors check out their  facebook page.

Mac passed these to me in an email. I’m glad he accepts this because it is entirely true hehe..

1.)Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right
And you need to shut up.

2.)Five Minutes : If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five
Minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to
Watch the game before helping around the house.

3.)Nothing : This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and
You should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in
Fine.

4.)Go Ahead : This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!

5.)Loud Sigh : This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement Often
Misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and
Wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about
Nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6.)That’s Okay : This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman n can
Make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before
Deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7.)Thanks : A woman is thanking you, do not question,or Faint. Just say You’re welcome.

8.)Whatever : Is a women’s way of saying to hell with YOU!

9.)Don’t worry about it, I got it : Another dangerous statement, meaning.This is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now Doing it herself (again)

I got this video from a blog called Heather’s Hot Mess. The blog belongs to fellow twitterer, Heather. I must say that it is pretty funny and most moms will agree that life is like this. I hope you like!
