Comment on Me!

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

It’s true – you don’t see a lot of comments posted on this blog. At first the ability to comment worked well and then we changed formats and somehow that feature disabled itself – except to spam posts from machines who didn’t understand proper grammar or even how to spell and who apparently had a stuck ’shift’ button because some posts were just thousands of question marks. Well now the comment ability is fixed (hint hint to all humans) and we’re getting a higher quality of spam post (woohoo it’s only their email address that refers to Viagra!) but I could still stand to see something that seems like an algorithm didn’t write it….

Western U Online

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

There are a number of online universities that have grown tremendously in popularity over the past decade since the explosion of the internet. Many of these universities are merely extensions of the existing schools without a significant online focus.

For those in the market for an online university, you need to make sure that the school fits into your needs. The most significant difference for Western Governors is the focus on WHAT you learn as opposed to how many hours you’ve taken. This focus on practical learning may be just the perfect thing for professionals going back to school and looking for an online mba.

Axe Cop – The Movie

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Who says that all of the great ideas have already been done? It’s time for the world to meet “Axe Cop”. Just keep Michael Bay away from it. There’s nothing that man can’t ruin with just a glance.

Merchant account

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Our society has ceased to be based on cash. Most can remember a time when paychecks had to be cashed or money retrieved from a teller at the bank. Even more can remember waiting in line at an automatic teller for cash. Now virtually every transaction is electronic. That just means that if you want people buying stuff from you, you’ll just have to have the best and most affordable way to get the money. A sell merchant account from the right place will save you money and make you money.

Magic Genie

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

I found a fun little game on the internet the other day that is a fun waste of time. http://us.akinator.com/ asks series of questions to find out who you’re thinking about. Just pick someone famous, real or fictional, and in a few questions, it will give you a guess as to who it is. The database must be pretty intensive because it has picked out every character that I’ve tried on it so far.

Have fun

Stretch Marks

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

For those of you out there who don’t know what stretch marks are for, allow me to explain.  When a person gains weight, the skin will sometimes get ugly dents that kind of run in lines.  They start out red or purple and often fade to a silvery white.  For most people, these are permanent even after weight loss.  The weight gain doesn’t have to be from fat – it can be from an increase in muscle too.  That makes the cropping up of stretch marks especially insulting.

Different products and treatments have been produced to help prevent or diminish the appearance of stretch marks and one of the most common is the use of cocoa butter creams on the stretch marks.  Of course then you can have cocoa butter stretch marks because this doesn’t always work.  Asking your doctor for ideas is always a good way to go.

Horse Gear

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Horses can be quite expensive. We’re not talking about just what you need for the horse, like food and shelter. We’re also talking about what you need to ride the horse like a saddle and helmet and even breeches. Getting the longest lasting materials for the lowest price should be your goal so make sure to look long and hard and even ask your fellow animal lovers about their experiences and recommendations.

What’s fair’s fair

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

If you can’t work anymore, and you’ve paid into some sort of disability program, it’s only fair that you receive the benefits that you deserve. Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re not disabled or that you can really work if you can’t. In order to get a successful disability appeal, all you have to do is contact someone who’s qualified to win that appeal for you.

Outage at Ebay

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

Annoyed is the word for my husband right now who is fuming a bit at eBay. Seems their search engine has gone down today. Of course this is the day his listings are ending. And these are the first listings he’s had in about 2 years. Apparently the nexus of the universe and intersected with the SNAFU universe and resulted in him having a 9 minute wait time to see if he can cancel an auction that has 21 minutes left on it.

Here’s hoping…

Christmas Cards

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

You may be thinking that right after Halloween is way too early to be thinking about Christmas. There are a couple of more holidays in between. But if you’re going to be sending out cards for the holidays, you may want to consider holiday photo cards for all of your friends and family. They’re not too expensive and a great way for everyone to see you and yours without traveling across the country.
