Trick or Treaters, I’ll Be Ready for Them

This year I’m going to play it smart a buy Bulk Candy to use for the trick and treaters that will be knocking at my door this Halloween. It is only a month away so I have time to find the best bargain that I can find, using the Internet of course. I am going to find the type of candy that I like to hand out so that all the left overs won’t go to waste, like the clark bar. Of course I can always take a good amount to work to share with the ladies there to snack on, but it would be nice if I could enjoy them as well. I like candy, but not all types.

I’ve received a few Candy Baskets before as gifts, throughout the years, and have only eaten some of the candy and the rest just goes to waste, which isn’t cool. It’s a good thing that most candy has a pretty long shelve life and keeps for a pretty long time. Nothing worse than biting into something that is stale and nasty!

We usually get a good amount of trick or treaters in this neighborhood, but you never know how much to buy, so it is a guessing game. And if the weather is bad and the kids don’t come out you can be stuck with a ton of icky candy to try and eat and get rid of, sigh…..

Jay Leno For A Good Laugh at 10:00pm

I am anxious to see how Jay Leno fairs in his new 10:00pm time slot that is scheduled to start next Monday evening, September 14th. We really need a good light hearted show at 10:00pm, I think that it will be a much needed success. Conan O’Brien just really bites, he just doesn’t measure up in my book.

One of the girls at work has just recently became engaged and isn’t wasting any time in the planning of the big event. Folks don’t waste much time these day with their engagements, the wedding is being planned for October 30th, the day before Halloween. The office is all the buzz with all that it entails with the planning of a semi-formal wedding. So much to do, so little time, as the old saying goes.

The new and popular save the date cards are what we are currently checking into. 123print.com has a lot to offer and has been a valuable tool for a good part of the planning so far.

America’s Got Talent

One of the shows that I try and watch each week is America’s Got Talent. I understand that Britain’s Got Talent is excellent as well, too bad that I can’t watch their version as well. But thank goodness for YouTube because I can see a good amount of their talent there on occasion.

Keeping Up With The Times

It is amazing how the Internet has so drastically changed the way we all are conducting our business. It is so very important to keep up with the times and having the best website design possible makes all difference in the world to the numerous online merchants and businesses. There is so much to offer in ways of website design these days that it really does pay to have the job well and the job done right from the start.

I know that I have been doing most of my research and purchasing most of what I need online and if the website isn’t up to par and user friendly, I go somewhere else. It’s amazing how some of the sites that I have run across don’t even post what type of payments they accept. Like if they accept Pay Pal, Visa, Master Card, Discovery, etc. I don’t like having to dig around in order to find something out that should be on the home page to begin with. And if they offer free shipping that should be stated up front as well. It only makes sense to me to let your prospective customers see information like so that they know right from the start if your terms are appropriate for them or not.

Spam

I’m so tired of receiving so many comments that turn out to be Spam! Each time I log in here I get excited at the prospect of seeing many comments, then to find out that they are always some spammer trying to get links to their sites that 9 times out of 10 are about sex and drugs! Arg……

Keeping Up With the Times

Find a match online is the way to go these days if you are looking for a partner in life. There are many dating and matchmaking sites available and it’s good that there are options out there with this in mind. A good online dating review site can be found at primedatingsites.com, they have taken the time to check out many of the dating sites and give you an insight to what many of them have to offer.

We have all heard of eHarmony.com, but there are plenty of other dating sites that are available out there that haven’t done all the marketing that eHarmony has done on TV. Yahoo Personals is well known, well because it’s Yahoo, but to see other services one only has to go to this review site to find detailed information on American Singles, Date.com, Match.com, Friend Finder and numerous others as well.

With so many online dating sites available it would be wise to check and see what you possibly could be getting into, I know I would if I ever went that route. Times are a changing and you need to keep up with the times, safely and using your head and common sense.

Pass It Along, It’s All Good!

I honestly thought I knew pretty much all there is about the different web hosting companies that are out there for us to choose from. But I recently stumbled onto a site, webhostinggeeks.com, that has a great amount of information concerning the many dedicated server web hosting” sites and I found that they have put together a list of 7 different  “Green Web Hosting Providers” that are eco-friendly and doing what they can to save our mother earth, now how cool is that?

These 7 listed providers use renewable and alternative energy, as well as recycling waste, the planting of trees, and they also purchase RECs in order to power their data centers, which I think are all great ways to make a difference in our soon to be maxed out world.

 Ireally have to respect these companies and I would encourage anyone to check this site out to find more information on them. The company that comes in as Number One in the list of 7 is SuperGreen, they have it listed as the most Eco-Friendly Host, with the provider coming in as Number Seven being GoodAvocado, with the boasting of being a wind powered hosting.

Pass it along, it’s all good!

A Good and Proud Redneck

DWI – DONE TEXAS STYLE
Only a person in Texas could think of this.

From the county where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes this true story. Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Austin , Texas . After last call, the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so apparently intoxicated that he could barely walk.

The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car and fall into it.

He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off.

Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off–it was a fine, dry summer night–, flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn and t hen switched on the lights.

He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patrons’ vehicles left.

At last, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out and drove slowly down the road.

The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and administered a breathalyzer test.

To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man had consumed any alcohol at all!

Dumbfounded, the officer said, “I’ll have to ask you to accompany me to the police station.”

This breathalyzer equipment must be broken.’

‘I doubt it,’ said the truly proud Redneck. ‘Tonight I’m the designated decoy.’

Giving Pirates a Bad Name

I hate to hear and see on the news about today’s pirates, they really have taken pirating to an embarrassing new height with technology and all that it and other new tactics, have to offer these guys.
