Tools and Their Accessories

Well considering that I really don’t know all that much about the many tools that are available to us these days. I do have a nice, well stocked toolbox, but it only contains the basics that are usually found in a toolbox with nothing fancy or expensive about it. So when I was asked to go online and find reid supply vise accessories I really didn’t know what it was that I was looking for.

It didn’t take much time to find these vise accessories on their friend user website and they were easy enough to order. They should be here by next week and I’m anxious to see if I actually ordered the right ones. If not I know that they have user friendly return and exchange policies that I can always turn to. But hopefully I will have gotten it right the first time around.

I’m a “Big-Baby” Adult and I’m Proud of It

I am a college-educated 25-year-old who puts in a 50-hour work week and volunteers with a domestic violence hotline on weekends. Ask anyone who even remotely knows me and they will tell you that I am a big kid at heart, however. Life is way too short to be taken too seriously. When I am home, I unabashedly cast off my professional persona and revert back to a simpler, more innocent time.

The little time I do get to myself is, more often than not, spent in my living room, laying on my leather couch, watching children’s television programs. I sure do love me some Sponge Bob Square Pants. That Patrick Star always manages to make me chuckle and I just love Sandy Squirrel’s overdone southern accent. I could write a tome on how I consider the show more for “big-baby” adults than for the child audience for witch the show is truly intended.

Sponge Bob Square Pants is not the only program I adore. Thanks to the satellite i got after seeing this Direct TV Satellite Comparison, I have a plethora of options at my fingertips. South Park is a riot and the Boondocks is a welcome late-night distraction. I think everyone should indulge the child with in from time-to-time.

Good Insurance Is a Must

Times are seeming to get any better these days. I’m still hearing way too many hard luck stories from everyone that I talk with, from all walks of life. I know things are still extremely tight with my budget issues, so a lot of time is going into finding the best value for the money when I’m researching any of my purchases online and off. I’m even going to start looking a bit at what types of deals I can found for my insurance needs, I know that they are ways to find the best home insurance online, I’ve just got to make time to sit down and take the time to do some browsing.

I’ve always realized how important having a good insurance company and a good insurance policy is, but I’m sure that I can find some online specials that will help loosen up the purse strings a bit. Christmas is coming up sooner rather than later  and I don’t want to be broke for that occasion. So if a fire starts and all my Christmas presents burn all up I want to know that I can turn to my insurance company for replacement satisfaction.

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!

Fun With Photos

I’ve always been a bit leery of sites that offer you to make funny pictures of the photos that we all have stored on our PC. I’ve been using the computer and the Internet for many a years, but I have my strong points and my weaknesses as well and photos are one of my weaknesses. I mean I know how to take a picture, but then having to download it to my PC is another story, I can never find the right cable and then to top it all of with I can’t seem to figure out where the best place to download the buggers into. Something so simple can really mess with my mind, silly but true.

Anyway, once I’ve downloaded them they usually stay right there, but since my good friend Judy came over last night and showed me a great website that allows you to create funny pictures from your photos store on your computer’s hard drive, I think that I finally have the whole thing figured out and under control. I’ve got a lot of great pictures that have been sent to me throughout the years and I came up with one that was taken of me a few years back at an office party that I decided to play around with and I came up with a few fun photo effects that I thought were playful enough to continue messing with!

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?

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.
