Safe driving

With the advent of the cell phone, millions of Americans are using them. The problem is that many Americans are endangering others by driving while texting or being on the phone while driving. There are some laws in some states to prevent this, but they are difficult to enforce.

A new study shows that use of a cell phone while driving dramatically increases the chances of an accident. I think that further education on the matter will help prevent the problem and save lives.

The debt

As an ordinary American, I am less than thrilled with congress and the job they are doing. Our national debt is out of control and the congress seems unable to do anything about it. To me, the answer is simple. We must cut spending as well as increase certain taxes. Other words, both sides must give a little.

The president is doing what he can to solve the issue, but he needs co-operation from both sides of the congress. I hope congress will let go of their party politics and work to solve the issue.

Staying slim and fit

One thing we love to do around our house is to eat. It seems that every time I go into the kitchen, somebody is cooking something up. While it seems a good idea at the time, I have found that we are all eating too much. The problem is that this leads to my families overall weight problem. Everyone in our family has always been on the heavy side and it’s a constant battle to stay slim.

Luckily, there is a solution to this problem. There is a product called Herbalife that can help you shed the extra pounds that are put on. There are many other extra benefits to this product as well. It can help you increase your energy levels as well as help reduce the stress that comes with daily life. I have tried this product and have been very happy with it.

The answer to this type of problem is simple. All you have to do is to find your local Herbalife Distributor. The good news is that there are Herbalife Distributors all over the country so it’s easy to find one near you. I really believe that taking care of your body is a key to a happy healthy life. I believe that everyone should consider giving this product a try.

Tough work ahead

The congress of the United States has some tough work ahead. The budget is busted and there is much debate over how to fix it. Some want to raise taxes and some don’t. Some want to slash spending and some don’t. What everyone can see clearly in my opinion is that both things must be done.

The constant fighting between democrats and republicans is getting old. I think they really need to learn how to work together and deal with the issues at hand. Their decisions may be unpopular, but the country needs it!!

New projects

I love my house. I like nearly everything about it. It is also well known by all my neighbors that I really enjoy working in and around the house. One idea that I recently came up with was to install window boxes on the street side of the house. I knew that once we planted flowers in them, the house would look so much better.

Once that was done, my wife liked them so much that she wanted more of them. We decided to put some window box planters on the side of the house that is opposite of the garage. That worked out really well and we now have a nice selection of plants on that side. We thought so much of the idea that decided to see what we could do in the backyard.

The back of our house consists of the patio, a small area for the kids to play in, and the rest is dedicated to the garden. We thought that adding some garden window boxes would be a good idea. It would certainly fit in with the general theme of the backyard. So far, things have worked out really well. We are all happy with the results of our labor and are ready to move on to the next project for the house.

Traffic cameras

There seems to me that there is a problem with the traffic cameras that are in place in my city. I believe these cameras are triggered way too easily. I recently received a ticket for supposedly running a red light over a month ago. I have no recourse but to pay the fine and it really makes me angry.

I am a safe driver and have never knowingly run a red light. While it’s possible a light may have turned yellow as I approached it, I have never placed anyone else in danger. I think that as more and more people receive these tickets, the more unpopular they will be.

Financial futures

One thing that everyone needs to be doing in these tough economic times is making sure that they take care of their finances. These days, every penny counts and it’s important to use the money you have to make money. This is especially important for those who plan to retire at some point in their life. The good news is that there are ways to do this easily and cheaply.

For those who are in this position, there are some good sites on the internet to help with the task. You can find some Do it Yourself portfolio management tools that will steer you in the right direction. By using the information obtained from these sites, you can almost guarantee yourself a bright financial future. Many experts have done much of the legwork for you and that gives you a leg up on everyone else.

You can use an Online Portfolio Manager to help you as well as using Portfolio rebalancing software to ensure that you are on the right path to a secure retirement. This is serious business as your future depends largely on how you manage your money in the years before retirement. For those who wish to retire happily I believe this is good advice. I hope everyone will take this advice to heart and look into the situation today.

Idiots

Some people are just not too smart. Sometimes not being smart can end your life. One such person was 55 year old Philip Contos. He was riding his motorcycle in an organized protest ride against a law that requires motorcyclists to wear helmets. During the ride, he lost control of his vehicle and crashed. The crash resulted in a fractured skull that caused his death.

If this idiot had been wearing one of the helmets that he was protesting, he would probably be alive today. Some people just don’t have any sense!!

Education is the key

There is some good advice that I always give to young people. That advice is that they get a good education. Those who have college degrees are sure to get ahead in life and be able to hold better jobs. A good job will lead to higher pay and a solid foundation for life. The problem that most people encounter is how to pay for it. I always say to them that they should start working on the problem as early as possible.

When it comes to financial planning for college, there are some great resources you can use on the internet. I think all parents should notice these sites as well as the child involved. No matter what age the child is, planning will help you save money in the long run. This will enable the child to gather the required monies needed for college.

One way to take advantage of some good advice is to get college planning tips from sallie mae. There are so many ways to plan for the future and they all are good to get to work on early. Since I am responsible for hiring the people who work under me, I know the value of education. I hope everyone will look into this resource and benefit from it.
