A New Home Town for My Aunt in the Carolina’s

It used to be that people were flocking to Florida for the sunny weather. Then they started heading out west to Arizona and New Mexico, but it appears that the Carolina’s are the place to go now a days. I keep running into people that have moved there or about to or visiting someone that has moved there. North and South Carolina are both a great place to live.

My Aunt Betty just announced that she is planning on heading south and has been looking at Lexington SC Homes For Sale online at columbiascrealestatesales.com. It is a beautiful area and I’m sure she will love living there. The homes are affordable and easily accessible to water, which is a plus since my aunt grew up on the water and wouldn’t want to be far from a body of water. I can’t wait to visit her and see what all is around her new hometown.

Crazy how the family just seems to keep moving farther and farther away over the years. As much as I try to keep positive about the whole ordeal, it really does break my heart.

Paid Online Surveys

Both of my sisters have been looking for various ways to make an extra buck during this economic crisis that we have found ourselves right in the middle of, with no light being seen at the end of the tunnel. My youngest sister has started walking dogs for a working neighbor that just purchased two adorable German Shepard puppies that are being kept in their crates all day. It’s not much money, but it all adds up and she really enjoys dogs, so it is a win win situation for them both.

My oldest sister has taken to doing paid surveys online, which sounds pretty interesting. She has found a website by the name of Getpaidtotry.com that has you take surveys of 250 words plus in order to be paid from 20 cents up to $50, which is nice chunk of change, wouldn’t you say? So my sister is spreading the word around for others to check out this offer to complete surveys, which can be done at your convenience right from home, and I’m thinking of registering myself. I have been known to cooperate with most surveys that I’ve been asked to participate in, so I might as well get paid for my efforts along the way. And since I spend a good amount of time at my computer it wouldn’t be an inconvenience for me one bit.

I’ll let you know what I find out and how it is all going. Wish me luck!

Zenni Optical Online

I love how the Internet makes it possible to research products and compare prices, at my convenience and letting my fingers do the walking on my lap top’s keyboard. I just got back from the eye doctor and it seems that I need new eyeglasses. Not just any type of eyeglasses mind you but bifocals, ugh……………In my mind I’m way too young to be needing bifocals, but the doctor knows best, right?

With money being so tight I was leery of going next door and purchasing my new glasses at the optical store which is so conveniently located right next store to his office. I wanted a chance to do some comparison shopping to see what types of deals I could find on my own. I’ve heard good things about Zenni Optical so I took some time this afternoon during my break at work and checked them out. When I Googled Zenni Optical I found an article that enlightened me about Zenni Optical. Did you know that they start their eyeglasses at $8.00, now how cool is that to be able to get good quality glasses at a nice low price? I’ll let you know how it all pans out and I might even post a picture of me with my new glasses on…………………….

Sexual Harassment Attorney In The San Diego Area

It breaks my heart to keep hearing the same old story from my youngest sister, who moved all the way across the county and eventually landed in the San Diego California area. She has had the worst luck finding a job. Nothing comes cheap in the entire state of California, much less the San Diego area and if you don’t have a decent income, things can spiral deep down before you can even bat an eye. You want the great weather, you got to pay dearly for it!

Once she finds a job, it doesn’t last long. Each time she is complaining that it is some form of sexual harassment. She is a beautiful girl and she does bring a lot of attention to herself, but a girl has got to draw the line some where before she ends up searching online for the best san diego sexual harassment attorney that there is and take this nonsense to an entire different level for once.

I say a prayer for her every night before I lay my head down, along with a long list of close family and friends.

Home Security Issues

With crime on the rise, as usual, it can be a bit scary some times being single and living alone. The economy being such a total screw up, people are turning to crime in order to meet their monthly billing deadlines. My mother has been after me for some time to check into checking some type of security system for my place. As for me I’d like to get a big dog to keep me safe, but alas I’m really set up to take care of a big dog at this point and time in my life. I all ready own a gun, and I know how to use it, but in all reality a security system does make better sense. I just hate it when my mother is right!!!!!

I’ve been doing a bit of research online lately and have found that adt alarm systems seems to have the best value for my money. They have been around and in business for over 130 years and I sure see a lot of their adt security system signs in people’s front yards these days, so they must have an Indianapolis ADT office close by. They must be doing something right. I’ve found that their All-Inclusive Monitoring Bundle would suite my needs, so I’ve submitted my contact information on their web site and am a waiting a call from one of their representatives in order to discuss with them some of the details before signing on the dotted line. I really don’t need anything fancy, but I do some sort of peace of mind, ya know what I mean?

Promotions for Online Shoppers

I was telling my sister how fed up I have become with the way that my laptop has been acting. It has seen better days and I’m just not willing to sink any more money into at this point. A newer one would be so nice but I’m leery of spending any amount of money these days with the economy in the toilet the way it is these days.  I’m worried about my cash flow. She suggested that I take a look around online and see what deals can be found.

One of her favorite sites that she uses any time she considers purchasing anything online is bestonlinecoupons.com, they have a large variety of coupon codes, free shipping offers, special promotions galore for today’s online shoppers. So I took her up on her suggestion and have found several great deals on computers that I am considering right now.

They have listed several Dell discount coupons and Newegg promo codes that sound very tempting. I’m surprised at the numerous merchants like Best Buy and Office Depot to name a few that are advertising and providing links for some serious savings. I hate going shopping, out in the real world, so finding deals for online shoppers is perfect for someone like me and a great way to go.

Good Bye to The Yellow Pages

With car and home insurance being a must these days (and rightfully so) it only makes sense to find and to get the best bang for your buck. The Internet has made shopping around for prices so much easier, the days are gone that you had to call around from one agent to another in order to receive quotes from various companies. The good old Yellow Pages is becoming a thing of the past, online is the way to go for the majority of people these days.

I’ve been wanting to find some good quality but Cheap Van Insurance for my van. I need to try and tighten my purse strings a bit and have been utilizing the Internet to find the best deal possible. I want a low deductible, low premiums, but great customer service as well. My parents used to always say that you get what you pay for, and I have found that to be very true. So I’m asking around with some friends and family members as well to find out what they have to say about their insurance agents and companies. Hopefully I’ll be able to find something out in a few weeks, so that I can go ahead and make the switch before Christmas comes around and I find myself in a cash crunch.

Carpet Cleaning and More

My house was an absolute mess, a complete disaster last spring. I couldn’t take it anymore after my daughters friend came to stay with us for a weekend, and had made a comment to my daughter about how much of a wreck our house looked. It hit me that it was time to give my home a deep cleaning. So I scurried around a few local store for cleaning products to use around the house, took them home and started my cleaning spree.

My daughter even pitched in, and we had gotten a ton done. It just didn’t seem to be enough, the air in our home smelt a bit musty and the carpets still had stains on them from spills and accidents from years prior. I spent a night to myself in the house one night, while my daughter went to stay with a friend, and did some searching n the net for any good deals I could come by to have my carpet cleaned, deep cleaned. I came across a site that offers carpet cleaning for a great price that I couldn’t say no to.

When the carpet was done, I invited old friends and relatives over to enjoy a nice afternoon gathering n our newly felt home. We got so many compliments about how nice our home looked and smelled. I owe to carpet cleaning holly springs nc, I couldn’t have done a better job myself, they really made the difference.

That Darned Check Engine Light

I’ve noticed that my check engine light has been on for the past few weeks and I guess I really need to get it checked out in case it is something serious. God I hope not. It drives me crazy when that light comes on, I don’t always have time to take my Ford R-150 to an auto shop to see what is going on. Although most shops are not as busy as they would like to be, due to the economy, so the waiting time isn’t as bad as it used to be, but I still hate taking the time out of my busy schedule to tend to things such as this. It is never a quick fix and even with an appointment you still can end up waiting for way too long.

I’ve a friend who just started working at a nice local auto repair shop that tells me that busy has really slowed down and they are looking for business big time and is urging me to bring the truck to them this Saturday.  Since my friend is working there I feel confident that I will not be ripped off and will be taken seriously about the light issue and my financial situation at this point.

Virtual Yard Sales

The last time I held a yard sale I swore that I would never, ever do that again and by golly I meant it. There is so much time and work involved in pulling off a good prosperous yard sale, garage sale, lawn sale, moving sale, or what ever you want to call the reselling of your unwanted personal items to the general public.

Just collecting the stuff, cleaning and fixing what needs to be done in order to get $ for it and then having to figure out what price to charge and put a price tag on each and every piece of merchandise is enough to through me over the edge. You have to be careful on what type of price tag to use and where to put it in order to not damage the item and reduce the value just because the placement of the right type of price tag wasn’t thought out. I know I am a bit OCD when it comes to things like that but we all have our quirks right?

Dealing with the public is another issue. The early birds that come to get the best deal are a real pain in the neck. All you want to do is get your stuff out there and set up and you have these people digging around and asking you questions! And then there is the clean up and figuring out where to put all the stuff you didn’t sell, ugh.

It’s no wonder more people are turning to the Internet for deals at various virtual yard sales and other websites other than eBay and Craigslist.
