Surprise!

September 27th, 2011

One time when I was a little kid, my shower was broken so I had to use my parent’s shower.  I was walking back to my room with a towel wrapped around me when my brother who was in a room I was walking by said, “Hey! Get in!” and opened a big plastic bin.  He said he would close the lid and take me down the hall to the kitchen where our mother was cleaing.  There I could jump out and surprise her naked.  Of course, I got it.

What you don’t know about my brother is that he was a terror and his goal in life was to torture his younger siblings, which includes me.

When I popped out naked, I was in the front yard!  I grabbed my towel and ran back in where my brother was laughing so hard…

If you have delicate materials that you would like to store safely and securely consider purchasing a Safety Storage Chest from First Place Supply for a bargain price of $2,374.79.  With a width of four feet, a depth of two feet, and a height of just under three feet, the amount you can store is considerable.  This chest has UV protected paint and cover support welded to reinforcing channels for extra strength.

Sensear Ear Muffs

September 6th, 2011

Imagine, just for a moment, that shoes protected your feet, but they prevented you from walking. Or if gloves protected your hands but prevented them from grabbing things. What if glasses protected your eyes but prevented you from seeing?

The fact of the matter is that most ear muffs protect your ears but they prevent you from hearing and communicating!

That logic is what drove Sensear to successfully find a solution. Sensear Ear Muffs protect the ears and use what is called SENS (Speech Enhancement, Noise Suppression) Technology developed to amplify human voices and suppress background noise. This unique feature allows workers to communicate easily, while keeping their protection and productivity at an all time high!

The bottom line is that hours upon hours are wasted for a number of reasons:

  1. 1. Moving to quiet areas to communicate
  2. 2. Dealing with the complexity of communicating in high noise situations
  3. 3. Taking hearing protection off to communicate
  4. 4. Dealing with missed cell phone and two-way radio calls

If one worker, who makes $60,000 per year, wastes a mere 10 minutes per eight hour work day on any combination of these time wasters, that is over $1,500 per year down the drain. Multiply this by however many workers you have, and we’re talking about serious loss.

Sensear Ear Muffs help save your company thousands of dollars guaranteed!

GAS!!!!

August 22nd, 2011

In today’s economy with gas prices as high as they are, I think I’m not alone here when I tell you that I try to not pull into a gas station until I absolutely have to.  Some of you may ask, “But Frederico, aren’t you afraid that you’ll run out of gas sometime?”  The answer is yes.  Yes, I am.  Which is why I’ve taken it upon myself to buy a gas can to keep in my trunk for just such an occasion.

I’ve chosen the Blitz Enviro-Flo™ 5 Gallon Plus Can in Blue.  The handle on top and back grip makes it easy to carry long distances when hiking for a gas station.  Also, as a 6’2″, 110 lb male, I have trouble steadily carrying five gallons of liquid.  Because of the advanced spout design and pouring lever, gas only comes out when you want it to come out.  The extension tube makes it so I never spill on myself when pouring.  Finally, it is environmentally safe!  So, for $16.63, if you run out of gas, this is the can you want to have!

Top Ten Ways to Avoid Allergies

August 19th, 2011

1. To avoid allergies, you need to find out what you’re allergic to

If your symptoms occur in the summer, you are probably allergic to grass and weed pollens

If your symptoms occur in the winter/spring, then you are probably allergic to tree pollens

If If your symptoms occur at work, then you are probably allergic to your co-workers…

2. Check your local weather reports for pollen counts. If pollen counts are high, stay inside

3. Leave your doors and windows closed

4. Mow the lawn as often as possible

5. Avoid mold. Don’t go outside too much on rainy days

6. Talk to your doctor

Well, unless this is your doctor…

7. Start eating healthy! Put down the cheeseburger and pick up a salad! (Not one from a fast food chain because those are just as unhealthy as most burgers!)

8. Exercise regularly. Don’t be a couch potato!

9. Avoid these cities (10 Worst Cities for Allergens)

Number 10: Madison, WI

Number 9: McAllen, TX

Number 8: Richmond, VA

Number 7: Dayton, OH

Number 6: Birmingham, AL

Number 5, Chattanooga, TN

Number 4: Jackson, MS

Number 3: Charlotte, NC

Number 2: Louisville, KY

Number 1: Knoxville, TN

Already live in one of these cities? I don’t know what to tell you…



If your city looks like this, avoid it!

10. If you are inside and your allergies still persist, then you may want to purchase some high-quality air filters. Without proper air filters, your home is subject to more allergens entering the air in your home or workplace. Check out these Aeolus Filters. They are dedicated to providing durable products combined with superior air cleansing technology. Also, HEPA AIRE Scrubbers are a great way to rid the air of allergens! With both of these products cleaning your air, you will get better results!

Allergies can strike anywhere – industrial, rural, or urban areas alike. Allergies can cause problems for children and adults, so stay safe!

Triple Digit Temperatures…The Best!

August 10th, 2011

I always get so excited when the temperature reaches triple digits! It’s something about the way it feels on my skin. Yes sometimes the heat gets to near dangerous levels, but come on! It feels so good!

I mean, if the heat index dips below 100 it’s the worst! What am I supposed to do at that point? How could anyone live like that?

Water?

No thanks! Who likes to be hydrated? I’ll usually go weeks without it. After all, water cools you down, and who wants that?

Sometimes I will sit out in the sun for hours. Doing nothing. Just basking in the sun.

It’s always cool (no pun intended) when you can get so incredibly hot without even moving a muscle!

So for me, something like a portable cooler would be a huge waste of time! Those things can reduce the temperature by up to 30 degrees, and they can keep you cool for hours on end! That’s no way to live!

I mean, look at me!

This is the life!

Power to the People!

August 5th, 2011

So I went into my bathroom this morning to grab my phone so I could leave for work.  I find the charger has been unplugged from our 6 outlet converter… my battery is dead.  My wife has a hair dryer, curling iron, and a straightener plugged into the strip.  Why she needs to use a curling iron AND a straightener at the same time I’ll never understand.  She tried to explain it to me once… something about her bangs… I don’t know.  She also has a space heater and a fan plugged in… IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER.  Apparently her feet get cold when she gets out of the shower but she likes a cool breeze on her face…  Also, she has a mirror plugged in.  A mirror.  Don’t get me started on the mirror.  So, now I don’t have a phone until I get to work because I lost my car charger.  Here’s hoping I don’t get in a wreck…

This could have been avoided if our Charging Charlie had bought an X-Treme Box® Power Center from First Place Supply.  With the GFCI technology and over-voltage protection, it is safe to use in the bathroom and gives his wife several more plugs for all her bathroom needs while still letting his phone charge.

Rain, rain..

Rain, rain

Come Today

When I buy rain wear at First Place Supply, I hardly pay

As the time of year when a simple wind can send a chill through your spine so deep you can’t shake it the rest of the day is slowly creeping our way, it is never too early to prep for all the elements that come with it.  Those winds often bring rain.  No one likes getting caught in the rain, so why let THAT happen?

No matter what you’re wearing, we have rain gear to cover it.  Coming in 9 different sizes, the Anchor Brand Rainwear come in classic raincoat yellow with a detachable, protective hood for the coat.  To keep you toasty in cold down pours, each neck is lined with corduroy.  The gusts of wind are no match for the trusty chin strap.  With the rainsuit’s added bonus of the overalls continuing over the chest, you could strap your cell phone to your breast and stand out in a hurricane without worry.  The traditional raincoat comes passed the knee and has two outside pockets for easy access.  The riding coat has a badge, or cell phone or wallet holder, and straps that turn it into chaps, or a fancy suit so you look sharp in the rain.

Don’t you want to look as happy as this guy when you get caught in a storm?

This Little Light Of Mine…

July 27th, 2011

Sometimes you need a big one.  Sometimes its not the size that counts.  Sometimes you want one that looks good. Sometimes it doesn’t matter what it looks like as long as it does a good job. When you least expect it, the need for one could pop up.  There are some that know exactly when they will need one and come prepared.  No matter what, one that performs well is essential.

A flashlight.

Everyone needs a good flashlight.  At First Place Supply, we have such a broad range of lights and flashlights, it would be difficult to NOT find what you’re looking for.  In every size and 15 colors, the possibilities are almost endless.

Looking for a handy lantern for those scary thunderstorms?  They have bright orange lanterns that are perfect for finding in the dark and have a circuit breaking mechanism so that if you knock it over while you’re stumbling around, it won’t waste batteries while you struggle to find a new bulb.  Or go with the traditional Sportsman Lanterns, a symbol of strength and durability since 1949.

Needing a flashlight to keep with you all the time for the unexpected?  They have a countless number of different sizes for any style pocket.  They have bulky personal lights that won’t crack, an added bonus for this option is they are 600% brighter than your everyday personal flashlight.  They have more slender, pen lights for the guys that love to wear their skinny jeans, and if your jeans are too tight to put anything in the pockets, this one also clips to your belt loops.  Ladies, they have Super PeliLite Flashlights that come in safety yellow for you to easily find it in your over sized purse.  And, of course, sleek black is always a good choice.
