Today’s Inauguration

I’m glad that I got the opportunity to watch a good amount of today’s historical Inauguration on the television. They provided us with a TV at work, so that we would and could watch the events that were being televised, instead of on our computers that have Internet access, which I figured was a pretty smart move on their part. We continued to be productive at our desks while being given the chance to see history in the making during normal working hours.

Kudos to management for today’s effort, something that I generally don’t’ get a chance to say about most of them.

Personal Safety Devices

I’m thinking that it may be a good idea for either me or my parents to look into and buy pepper spray for my now teen aged kid sister. She only last week turned 13 and is just starting to get into the social scene, going to the mall with friends, attending a few parties here and there, well chaperoned I’m sure. But none the less I think that she should really consider carrying some type of personal safety device and know when and how to use it, if necessary.

I’m sure that we could find something useful online, and will look into it and speak with my mother about it next time we talk. I’m not there to keep a good eye out on her and it is a wacky world out there and she is a prime target at her age.

Flea Marketing, Even in the Coldest Weather

For a free copy of “Retailers Forum Magazine,” which sells discounted wholesale items for small businesses, flea marketing and online sales, you can go online at RetailersForum.com. They have been helping people earn money through the recession of the 1980’s and the 1990’s and are still there during this “Depression” that we are experiencing now. People are turning to making extra money and flea markets are the way to go.

Even during the coldest weather I see people at the local flea market, I like to go but I prefer warmer weather conditions, so that I can see everything, take my time, stop and talk and get some exercise all at once.

IP Addresses and your computer

I have to tell you that I am pretty familiar with computers, we have had a PC in the house for over twelve years, at least, but who is counting? Hubby and I both use computers and work and of course we use it quite a bit a home for all kinds of reasons, email being the most important.

But when it comes to the complicated issues over and above are basic needs neither one of us really have a limited knowledge of a lot of things. I do have a brother who is a computer whiz, if any family member needs assistance, he is the one that we call.

Over the family Thanksgiving dinner, that was held a few weeks ago, we heard my brother discussing computer issues with another family member, which caught my husband’s attention and he ended up sitting in on the conversation, which included the topic of IP addresses and the like.

It appears that the IP address is very important to some people so that they can identify their visitors geographical location, their country, their zip code, time zone, connection speed and much more. This is fascinating information that hubby and I were completely unaware of and has us wanting to learn more. My brother instructed my hubby to visit Ip2location.com, a website dedicated to IP address information, and it is full of good information that I think is worth while to pass on to others here.

The 2008 Olympics have fantastic gymnastics

I love it when the Olympics come around, the gymnastics portion always seems to keep me on the edge of my seat and are so fun and exciting to watch each time.

Today when I checked my email I found the same old, same old, but I was happy to see that the Kodak Company had enclosed this wonderful picture along with their weekly emails that end up in my mailbox time after time in an effort to have me purchase more merchandise from them ever since I bought my digital camera and had to go online so that I could download my pictures into my PC and now they just love sending me weekly reminders to let me know that they are still around in case I need them. Anyway, hope you enjoy the picture and I hope you enjoy the Olympics as much as I do.

Mexico is this year’s reunion for sister to attend

My sister has all the luck, it seems at times anyway. Her hubby’s family meets every single year for a reunion of sorts, and they move around to a different location every year. The family usually gets a fantastic deal through a friend or a family member, for their accommodations, this is a huge family that has plenty of connections all over the world so they get to go to some really awesome places for their get togethers.

This year they are holding the event in Mexico, at the Rocky Point beach area, she tells me that this year they are looking into some Rocky Point rental homes for their use this time around and she sent me a couple of links to some web-sites about the area, so that I can share in her excitement of this years fun in the sun!  I can’t help but be a bit envious of them all.

I hope that it all works out well and that none of her kids, her husband or her get sick at the last minute and end up missing this years fun. One year they couldn’t go at the last minute because a couple of her kids and her hubby caught a bug the day before leaving and so the whole family had to miss that years fun in New Orleans. And as I have always told her, if one or two of her kids get sick she can bring them here to recuperate, I can look after them so that the rest of them would be able to go and enjoy themselves without worrying about the sick kids and all. That is what sisters do isn’t it?

Son is passionate about his games and game guides

My youngest is so totally into the video games, whether it be Nintendo, PlayStation, XBox or any other ones that have come out lately that I haven’t yet learned about through listening to him go on and on about with such excitement and joy. He is really good at them and I do believe that their is a learning value that goes along with the entertainment part of it, but we won’t go into all of that right now.

I’m glad that he is passionate about these things and happy that he has found something that will keep him busy and happy for some time.
