Lately I have been getting way too much spam here on my blog. Each day I log in and I usually find more than 30 spammed comments. That might not sound like much to you but I’m certainly not used to it. I’m not sure what to do about it. Might have to talk with my brother (the family computer geek) and see if he can give me any tips. I’m still learning all that is involved with WordPress and my blog, but I’m enjoying the ride!
Helping Out Family
I promised my mother that I would do some research for her on some of the Undermount Sinks that I can find on the Internet. She still is a little gun shy when it comes to the Internet, besides sending her emails out to friends and family, so she turns to me on occasion to assist her for things that she is interested in. I don’t mind really, she has been having a really rough time of it since my dad passed away 3 years ago, anything I can do to make things easier for her is good with me.
I’m going to find her the perfect Undermount Sink and my kid brother will install it for her. I had no idea of the variety of sinks that are available these days. In looking around I have fallen in love with the glass sinks that I’ve seen lately and I’ve bookmarked a couple of sites that have the ones that really float my boat for when I get into the remodeling mode for my own place. So far mrdirectint.com
Getting better at bar trivia
Guest post written by Anna Bishop
When I first moved in with my roommates after college, we didn’t really have a whole lot in common. I guess maybe it was beacause we all only had mutual friends or mutual friends of mutual friends. But since then we’ve found something that unites us, bar trivia.
After a long day at work in the middle of the week, there’s nothing more that I love than totally beating a bunch of strangers with my knowledge of useless trivia. But I like to find different bar trivia places to go to each week. I was online looking up some of the better trivia places in Chicago when I ran across some info on Chicago wireless internet providers. After I looked through it some, I shwoed it to my roommates and we changed over our home internet service to it.
I think that our bar trivia skills are getting even better. It just so happens works that we all have a different area of expertise, so we know the answers to a whole bunch of the answers. If anything, it’s ecnomical because we win free drinks when we win!
It’s Always All About The Money
I’m glad that I was sent a link to a web site that explains the risks of day trading. I have been hearing a lot about online trading, but it has all been good and positive things about it and not one word of caution about it at all. Not that I have any money to do any investing with at this point and time. But one day I hope the economy will let up and we can start enjoying life the way we used to before our government screwed it all up for us.
If you want to read about the risks of day trading you can go to daytradingcenter.net and read about it there as I did.
Disaster Date
I have been watching MTV more than usual lately. For a long time I had nothing to do with MTV or VH1, since the days of them playing music videos have long gone by the way side and the shows that had taken place of videos were pretty lame. But since I’ve started to watch The Jersey Shore on MTV I have seen a couple of pretty decent shows that I enjoy. My favorite being Disaster Date. These poor people are set up by their friends on a blind date and then they let the fun and the games begin.
Money Saving Tips On Prescription Eye Glasses
I just got back from getting my annual eye exam and now I armed with a prescription and searching for a cheap pair of prescription eyeglasses. My eye doctor told me that Ican get good quality prescription eyeglasses online at ZenniOptical.com so I’m going to take his advice and take a look and see if I can find a pair that I like there.
I’ve actually heard about Zenni Optical before. I saw a clip online not too long ago about a book that was recently written by the money expert Clark Howard, who spends his time finding ways to save money and passing those tips along to consumers. I remember that one of his hot picks on that clip was Zenni Optical and their massive selection of eye wear available for online shoppers. And since my eye doctor seems to think that Zenni Optical is OK, who am I to argue?
With money being so tight still for so many of us we can all use money saving tips. I think that I will take a look and see if I can find the book by Clark Howard that I saw on that clip. Maybe they have a copy of it at the library that I can check out for free for a couple of weeks.
Say Yes To The Dress
I’ve had the opportunity to watch TLC’s new hit TV show “Say Yes To The Dress” What I can’t understand is in these horrible economic times with the economy totally in the toilet how these people are coming up with the thousands of dollars that they are spending on a dress that is only going to be used one time. Some of these dresses are well over ten thousand dollars, that is a lot of money that I think could be better spent in so m
“EYES ON THE PRIZE” TOUCHES THE SOUL
Thanks to Roman May
What started out as a typical movie night at a girlfriend’s house, ended up in a historical lesson neither of us will ever forget. That night the Public Broadcasting Station began the airing of the documentary “Eyes on the Prize”. This is an award winning documentary about the American Civil Rights Movement and covers the period from 1954 to 1985.
The documentary is a series lasting 14 hours. My girlfriend would record the program from her directstartv.com and we would parcel it out over seven viewings. Be prepared, it will hook you and you will find a way to watch all 14 hours.
There were so many aspects of the documentary that fascinated the history buff in me, naming one is impossible. The power of one to ignite action as shown through the footage of the Montgomery Bus Boycott sparked by the arrest of Rosa Parks for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white person was inspiring. How can you forget the footage of the hanging of Emmett Till, a 14 year old boy, because of his color? The documentary is filled with various aspects of the movement including the Freedom Rides, passage of the Voting Rights Act, and, of course, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Eyes on the Prize” leaves an impression on your soul. That’s why it is my favorite.
Totally Wacked Out Jerry Fans
Who still watches Jerry Springer after all the talk about how his show is all a bunch of B.S. Even before I knew the show was totally stagged there was nothing appealing to me about these totally wacked out people, airing their dirty laundry in front of the whole country, that typically ended the show in a physical free-for-all. There has to be something seriously wrong with the millions of Jerry’s fans that still faithfully watch this totally useless 60 minutes of air time.
Martha and Conan in the Potting Shed
My sister loves finding, watching and sharing videos off of YouTube.com. This video with Conan O’Brien and Martha Stewart is totally off the wall, not something that you would expect to see Ms. Martha involved in, Conan on the other hand, who knows what will be coming out of his mouth!
