Web Hosting Issues

My brother has been urging me to switch my web hosting to Web Hosting Hub. He says that they offer reliable web hosting and that he has been happy with them for some time now.

My brother is a total computer whiz and I’m grateful for all that he has done for me over the years with my various computer issues and needs. He hasn’t steered me wrong yet, so I guess I’ll consider switching over. I don’t think that making a major decision or move right now would be in my best interest, but after the hot and humid days and nights are over and done with I’ll be back on track with most things and I think it would be the best time to make a change such as this.

I’m hoping that I’ll be getting a new laptop for my birthday, that would be awesome. My mother has been picking my brain for a few weeks now trying to find out what the perfect gift would be for her to give me on that morning and I’ve told her time and time again that I have everything that I need other than a new laptop. I don’t want to get my hopes up but it really would be a great if she did do that for me.

Mom’s Advice for Me

My mom told me about bank card processing when I was first opening my wedding gallery and it was good advice. I wasn’t sure how to go about all the logistical elements of having a wedding dress store but I knew I needed to figure it out – I had a ton of dresses and a great place to display them but no real method for running a business.

My brides come to me now because they know they’re going to get the best care and attention on their biggest purchase – that’s what I provide. I’m also a bit cheaper than some of the girls in the area and though I think it’s great that they can sell those couture dresses I always want there to be an affordable option. I don’t understand how some people can afford to spend five thousand dollars on one dress but God bless them. You won’t find them here in my store, though, that’s not how I work! I’m all about a great dress for a great price.

Flash Freeze

Spent so much time looking at the fresh fish counter that someone from the grocery store’s fish department actually came over and started talking to me. He asked if I was looking for anything special, and I told him I was looking for tilapia.

He pointed out the section of frozen fish that was displayed in a freezer section right next to the fresh fish counter. There a big bag of tilapia in the freezer, on sale for only $4.99 and he told me that the frozen was a better price than the fresh.

When I wrinkled up my nose at the idea of frozen instead of fresh, he explained that the fishermen catch the tilapia out on the water in big nets, and then they clean and flash freeze the fish right on board the boat. So, the frozen are actually fresher than the fresh ones that are taken back to port, cleaned on land and then put on a truck and driven for a couple of days to the stores. Isn’t that ironic? But it does make sense!

Important Stem Cell News – Re Posted

I remember reading this article, can’t believe it has been six years since this was announced. I thought enough of this information to post it here on May 1, 2009 and am still excited about it and wanted to re-post it today.

Press Release:
Taking Control: Future Therapies for a Host of Serious Diseases May Be Found in Women’s Menstrual Blood July 07, 2008: 01:28 PM EST

OLDSMAR, Fla., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ – With today’s hectic lifestyle, where most women are juggling careers, family, relationships, and a host of activities, the idea of possibly facing a serious illness in the future is not something that readily comes to mind – especially when a woman is in the prime of her life. But what most women don’t know, is that the key to treating a number of possibly life-threatening diseases that she, a parent, a sibling or even her children may face in later years, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, blood clots, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, may be found within her own body – in vital stem cells, which can now be harvested from her own menstrual blood.

Now, thanks to the revolutionary research and technology of C’elle, a service dedicated to providing women with a safe and easy method of collecting and preserving stem cells found in her menstrual fluid each month, even the busiest woman can take control of her future, right in the privacy of her own home. With C’elle’s non-invasive collection process, menstrual cells are processed and cryo-preserved (stored at a very low temperature) for potential cellular therapies that may be used in the future. These self-renewing cells one day may even be used for sports medicine or cosmeceutical treatments, such as anti-aging therapies.

“C’elle enables and empowers a woman to take control of her future health, and possibly of those genetically closest to her, in a fast, painless and stress free way,” said Michelle Kay, Marketing and Sales Manager for C’elle. “We live in exciting times, as science and technology are discovering how extremely valuable menstrual blood stem cells really are, and the enormous treatment potential they represent for future therapies. C’elle’s ongoing research is supporting these promising findings.”

Going Green, It’s Every Where

I find it interesting that going green has become such a big issue. Don’t get me wrong, I think it is great and I try my best to do right by our Mother Earth when possible. I have always been into recycling and have turned a good amount of people onto recycling through out the years. So I am happy to see such a big push these past few years.

I was browsing online earlier today and found an interesting site that rates and reviews website hosting companies. After a few clicks I cam upon the 10 top rated Green Web Hosting companies, which really tickled me. I didn’t know that there was such a thing and was fascinated to see that these companies are doing what they can in becoming a respectable green web host.

If we all take the time to do what it takes to become greener in our every day lives, we just might have a chance in surviving a few more decades, at least I hope so!

Help For Our Elderly Relatives

Each year my brothers and sisters put our heads together to try and find a way to help out our Aunt Jenny and Uncle Dave, who are both now in their 80’s and they both have several health issues to deal with while living on small monthly fixed income. We used to just send them food and/or gift cards for Christmas, but as the years pass we feel the need to do more than that when we all can afford and can agree on something.

You see Aunt Jenny and Uncle Dave are two of the sweetest people that you would ever have the chance to meet and to get to know. Thank goodness they have been active in their church, so they do receive some assistance from the church from time to time, but we all know how humble they are and how bad it makes them feel to receive any help from anyone. There is a special place in heaven for these too special, well seasoned relatives, but we are in no hurry to see them go.

I came up with an idea that I shared with my siblings lately. I took the time to look at various Home Cleaning Companies in Fort Lauderdale and I think I found the perfect one that we can afford to pay for to come out and help Aunt Jenny with all of their house cleaning needs. In the mean time I would like to find a company that will come out and help Uncle Dave with some of the chores that are always needed outside of the house and the yard. Just the thought of him trying climb and balance on a ladder to check and clean the gutters leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth. And of course there are tons of other outside chores that he just isn’t capable of doing anymore either. Maybe I can get my younger brother to help out in finding a good and affordable company to come out before the cold weather hits us.

The Jetson’s Got That Right!

Today’s technology is really making things happen, we aren’t quite up to speed with what the “Jetson’s” portrayed the 21st century to be, but they certainly hit the nail on the head with so many things that it is uncanny to watch this show that is still on some of the cartoon channels that I get with my satellite programming package.

On thing that has become a reality is the video conferencing services , we became accustomed to seeing his boss, Mr. Beasley coming onto the home monitor to speak with George Jetson at any given time. That certainly was something that no one thought would be a reality any time soon, oh how little did we know.

Today we have the convenience of web and video conferencing at our disposal, thanks to the Internet and all it has to offer us all. One only has to launch their web browser and click on a link. No more waiting to get people in the same place at the same time, in a matter of minutes you can get on with your business at hand and get the job done with so much less hassle and expense.

Since webcams have become much more affordable and access to the Internet so main streamed, any business can have the ability to teleconference. This has become a much less complicated process that now allows anyone to start holding a secure online conference to use as a great communication tool.

Now I can’t wait to see when cars start flying as they pictured them doing on The Jetson’s!

Insurance Needs and Wants

Shopping for your normal every day life insurance policies online has become a lot easier these days. I remember way back, years ago trying to do some comparison shopping for my auto insurance using the computer and it was a real hassle. I finally got so frustrated that I just about tossed the stupid laptop out the living room window and gave up. That left a real bad taste in my mouth, a taste that I just can’t seem to get our of my system for way too many years.

I was watching a friend go online the other day and it didn’t take him all that long to get some decent quotes for his home and auto insurance needs and wants. He finally hooked up with an agency don allred insurance burlington nc and couldn’t be happier, so I have decided to give it one more try for myself. I mean it shouldn’t be all that bad. I do spend a good amount of time on a computer at work and at home, so I shouldn’t have too much trouble figuring this whole free online quotes and get a much better bang for my buck.

According to all the TV commercials that we end up watching year after year put out by most of the well known top 10 insurance companies, I should be able to save at least $300 a year on my auto insurance policy, if I take my time, follow through and do it right. There is so much I could do with saving $300 a year!

Pieces of Gold

It seems that gold is all the rage these days. The newspapers, television and the Internet are busy advertising companies that are willing to pay you some darn decent money for your broken, unused and unwanted gold pieces. Wish I had more of that to take advantage of, but I’ve never been much into jewelry.

I have a friend who has been up on the subject of gold bullion and is learning what it takes to make a buck or two by seeing what it takes to buy gold bullion. Once again the Internet has been most useful, it really is a great resource for us to take advantage of in this 21st century. I wouldn’t know the first thing about how to buy bullion, but I guess all it takes is to Google “bullion” and take it from there. But I think that I will let him do the legwork and see where it leads him and then maybe I’ll jump on the bandwagon! We will see how this all pans out.

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?
