Other People’s Kids

There are places that little kids should not be. Some of it also has to do with the time of day – after certain hours, little kids should be put to bed and not be out on the streets. I used to love going to Las Vegas and feeling like it was an adult playground. You never saw families on the street – it just wasn’t a family oriented place. But some greedy casino owners decided to make Vegas more family friendly. They wanted to encourage all the convention goers to bring the little wife and youngsters and have them spend money while daddy does his convention. Well, as far as I’m concerned, they ruined Vegas. Now there are kids in strollers on the streets even after midnight. I don’t even want to go back there any more – I’ll find a new place that wants adults.

Job Search

At least one in every ten people who live around here is looking for a job because they don’t have one. I am sure that another 1 in every ten is looking because they are miserable in their current job and desperately need a need work environment or bigger paycheck.

Those are some scary numbers to have hanging over our heads. I sure Obama gets busy and find a way to turn this economy around to the way it was 6 years ago.

I have been known to dabble a bit

Since the stock market is so crazy lately, a lot of people have shied away from investing in the stock market.  Well I have been known to dabble a bit in the stock market but now I do my dabbling through online trading.   They guy that used to handle all of my investing in stocks went out of business because of the deep drop in the stock market and the Bernie Madoff mess.

You can find an online broker that works better with you than a lot of other brokers I have known.  If you know anything at all about stock trading, then check into it online and you might be better satisfied with your outcome.  This online brokerage will allow you to trade stocks, options, and even Mutual Funds at competitive costs to you.  Not too bad huh?

Just a bit of redecorating to do

I think my bathroom needs something.  With that in mind, I have just a bit of redecorating to do.  In all honesty, about all it really needs is a new shower curtain.  I found some perfect shower curtains online.  Now I just have to figure out which one I want.

I love shopping at SHOP.COM because just about anything you’re looking for can be found there.  I have it marked as one of my favorites so when I’m in the mood for a little shopping, that’s where I like to start.  It’s a huge help and really saves you a lot of time because they have already done the looking for you.  Know what I mean?

These are so very awesome

Here I was one minute looking for baby shower invitations online and found myself totally engrossed in wedding invitations instead. I had no idea that anyone would or could print such amazing wedding invitations.  Some of them were the cutest things I have ever seen and others were so very proper for the occasion.

One things for sure, IF and when there’s going to be a wedding around here, I already know where to look for invitations.  Perfect invitations I should say.  Oh and they have a lot more but those invitations were what really caught my eye and made me look more into the site.  Bet you’ll love it too if you just check it out.

Don’t you just love good T-shirts?

I’m a T-shirt and jeans kinda lady most of the time.  One of my favorite is my collection of Nirvana T-shirts. Does that surprise you? Well I like all kinds of music and T-shirts.  You just have to make sure that what you’re getting is of high quality or they won’t last.

Baby will be here soon

I swear I’m having more fun buying things for this baby that will be here soon than I have had in years.  Sure I love to shop for myself but this is more fun than I imagined it would be.  Have you ever heard of Jellycat?  They have some of the cutest toys I have ever seen but then again, I never did so much shopping for a little one before either.  It’s about like having a present and waiting to unwrap it waiting for this little one.

Barefoot Dreams makes some of the cutest baby wraps and blankets you could ever imagine.  Let’s not forget the adorable cardigan and caps they have too.  If you’re looking for clothes, Appaman has perfect clothes for the little one too.  Their onesies are absolutely darling.  I had no idea just how much fun it would be buying baby things.  I sure missed out in my younger years = but not anymore.

I love clothes

Speaking of plus sized clothes, I love clothes.  Yes I’m a plus size girl but if you look around, there are far more plus sized women than there are those tiny little things.  Men used to prefer a woman with a full figure because as my grandfather used to say, ‘You don’t have to shake the sheets to find them.’  He must not have had to ever do that with Grandma because they had 10 children.

 

Sometimes you just need a Payday Loan

I haven’t always been so self sufficient.  There have been several times in my life when I had to live from paycheck to paycheck.  Those days weren’t much fun either.  God help you if an unexpected expenditure came up like you got sick and had to go to the doctor and miss work.  What if your car breaks down?  That can really cost a small fortune to repair.  Trust me, I’ve been there and done that.

Luckily I don’t have to worry about it so much today but I know plenty of people that still do.  I have told several of my employees about payday loans when they hit those hard times that they didn’t expect. Oh sure I help them out some but they have to learn to save and be responsible just like I did back in the day.

One of the best things about online loans like this is there usually a pretty easy process.   This one doesn’t do a credit check and you can get immediate approval or disapproval if it turns out that way but from the experiences I have had, they usually approve you pretty quickly and you have the cash before you know it.  There’s a lot to their site too that might help you in some form so maybe you should check them out with any credit questions.

Serves this doctors office right

Boy do I hate to go to a doctor and end up feeling like a number or like I just got my pocket picked.  Unfortunately a lot of doctors have lost their sense of humanity and here’s a prime example for you I got in an email:

Those of us who spend much time in a doctor’s office should appreciate this! Doesn’t it seem more and more that physicians are running their practices like an assembly line? Here’s what happened to Bubba:

Bubba walked into a doctor’s office and the receptionist asked him what he had. Bubba said: ‘Shingles.’ So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.

Fifteen minutes later a nurse’s aide came out and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, ‘Shingles.’ So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Bubba to wait in the examining room.

A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, ‘Shingles.’ So the nurse gave Bubba a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Bubba to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.

An hour later the doctor came in and found Bubba sitting patiently in the nude and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, ‘Shingles.’ The doctor asked, ‘Where?’ Bubba said, ‘Outside on the truck. Where do you want me to unload ’em??’

I’m still laughing!!
