Dead Money

I was shocked to read today that the U.S. government has been sending out checks to those who are deceased. It was found out that over the last three or four years; more than 20,000 checks were sent to dead people. This is the kind of waste that makes Americans angry. That’s not all of the news. Some checks were sent to convicted felons as well as deadbeat contractors.

The Obama administration is vowing to rectify the situation by creating a database that list the dead as well as felons and contractors that owe the government money. I hope this new system will save the poor taxpayers some of their hard earned money!

Every House

Every house that I know of has one room that is always used. That room would be the kitchen. It always seems to be one of the most central locations for people to cluster. That’s why I think it’s important to ensure that it is decorated nicely in order to make the house a home. Recently, we decided to install wine glass racks in our kitchen in order to make it look nicer.

One problem that we had in our kitchen was a lack of space. We found that we could squeeze out a little more room by taking advantage of a hanging wine glass rack. We got all the glasses off the shelf and out of the way. That gave us other opportunities to use the space we made available. Not only that, it has enhanced the look of our kitchen.

We were very happy with the results we had in the kitchen and so we thought we would try it in the basement. We have a den in the basement that has a small bar. We thought that adding bar glass racks would help our décor there as well. I am glad to say that it did and now our bar looks great. We had a small party recently and everyone liked the way it looked. I guess we will be able to throw a few more parties now, knowing that we have what it takes!

Indian Elephants

The land of India is home to many endangered species. While the tiger is probably the most famous, the elephant is high on the list. Male Indian elephants have valuable ivory tusks. This has caused poachers to target them instead of females that don’t have them. The ratio of male elephants to female is in some cases as much as 100-1.

Another problem the elephants are facing is the growing loss of habitat. Development has interfered with their traditional traveling corridors. Efforts are under way to help the elephants through a variety of methods by the Indian government. I hope these efforts will work and these wonderful animals can be saved.

Girly Things

Sometimes it is nice to step back and appreciate the girls for being girls. When you grow up with sisters, you probably take a lot of things for ranted. Then when you  just around a lot of guys, like in a college dorm, you start to understand that girls do a lot of nice things and you start to miss them.

I like the way girls fuss with their hair and makeup. I especially like nail polish on their fingers and toes. And they smell nice. I would much rather breathe deep and take in a nice floral fragrance from a girl than the smell of a dorm room with a bunch of guys dirty clothes, leftover food and stale smoke.

The House, Our Home

The wife and I have been working to fix up the old homestead. We have had a wonderful time working together on various projects around the house. This year, we have concentrated a lot of our effort on the outside of the house including getting our lawn and gardens into shape. We think that the outside of the house is just as important as the inside. We have worked hard to find ways to improve the view of the house from the street.

One thing we are really happy about is the addition of an address plaque. We put the plague by the street and surrounded it with plants. We also added some rocks and figurines around it. It looks great and makes it easy to find our house. We didn’t know about home address plaques before, but now that we do, we are glad to have found one that fits our style.

One of our neighbors commented on the plaque and asked for more information about it. I told him to get on the internet and type in address plaques and he would find a place to get one for himself. I am sure that over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be seeing one in front of his house as well. While I am sure that our house will never be perfect, I am glad that we made this one fine addition.

Cell Phone Spies

I was listening to an interesting story today about a lady who was being spied on by a former boyfriend. The man had secretly installed spyware on her cell phone and was able to listen to her conversations as well as tell where she was. The technology is widely available online and works very well.

Anyone who thinks they may be a victim of this spyware has a few options for removing it. One way to do so is to reinstall the operating system of the phone. This will eliminate the spyware. Another option is to get a new phone entirely and that will end the threat. In today’s society you can never be too careful and knowing about things like this can help keep you safe!

They Fall So Fast

When the recession started to really take hold last year, the McDonald’s corporation was delighted. People started to flock to their stores as their low prices made them an affordable place to eat. They were high on the hog for awhile and were happy with their sales.

The bad part was that they had to offer incredibly low prices on their products which left them with little wiggle room. At this point, the economy is starting to recover but their sales are once again slipping. The company is hoping that the slow recovery of the economy will drive up sales and restore their profit margins. I hope they get what they want, not that I like anything that comes from McDonald’s except maybe their fountain drinks, sweet tea and their french fries. Other than that I have no use for the majority of their products.

Good Money Tips

There are literally thousands of ways to make money. People do it all the time and there is no limit on how much you can make. Some ways of making money are easier than others. One of my favorite ways is to use money to make money. That’s why I think highly of investing in bullion. While there are no guarantees in investing, the track record of making money with gold bullion is proven.

Throughout the ages, people have taken advantage of the unique characteristics that gold provides. It is durable, timeless, and always in demand. It has been used as currency in every nation on earth and has been the envy of kings and queens. It has caused wars as well as provided jobs and security for millions of people. It is a part of the history of earth and its people.

For those who wish to grab onto a piece of something solid, I highly suggest looking into the possibilities it offers. Go to any computer and punch in buy bullion and see what it can offer you. I am sure that my own financial security is enhanced since I have added it to my portfolio. Just remember that when you buy gold bullion you will be another person in a long line of people who made a great decision!

Good Vacations

There are a few times in life when you really get to enjoy yourself. I am planning to do just that when I go on vacation this year. I have been looking forward to this year’s vacation as it’s been so cold here lately. I am ready for some sunshine and green grass. That means staying at one of the Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resorts that have all the amenities I need to enjoy myself.

One of my passions is the wonderful game of golf. I know where to go when I really want to play. I usually check in to a Myrtle Beach Resort in order to be close to the many courses that are in that area. The beach is one of my favorite places to visit when I’m ready to play a few rounds. The best part is that there are many other things to do at Myrtle Beach Resorts at any time.

No matter what time of year it is, the beach is always a fun place to visit. The sun and surf always put me in a good mood and I am able to relax. By staying at an Oceanfront Myrtle Beach resort, I ensure that I will be close to all the action on the beach. I enjoy the shopping as well as the nightlife. My vacation is very important to me and I am sure that I have made a good decision.

Great Jobs

There are many things I like about my job, but one of the best things is that I get to travel all over the country. The only problem with that is that it can be boring when you are stuck in a strange city with no-one to talk to. That’s why I was glad to find out about a site that can get you cheap seats. They were able to help me find tickets to some events like the New York Ranger Tickets I was able to purchase.

There was another time when I was able to find the hard to get Toyota Center Tickets so that I could view one of the WNBA games that was held that night. I certainly enjoyed that show and still remember it to this day. I had a great time and can’t wait to see the girls play again.

The best time I had was when I was able to score Ohio State Buckeyes Football Tickets. I got a great seat near the field and saw all the action. My friends were jealous and they all wished that they could come too. I guess that some jobs are better than others and I am glad that my job is a good one. I hope that you will take advantage of this great website whenever you are able to travel out of town!
