This is good to know!!

A lot of kids have trouble with math.  One of my waitresses sons is one of those kids.  What he really needs is math help, you know, like a tutor. Tutors can be expensive though and this little lady is doing good to get by now.  As luck would have it, I found free math help online for the little fella.  No she does not have a computer but I sure do and would be glad to let him use it to better his math grades.  I had no idea that you could find online math tutoring but you can.

One of the great things about this online math tutor is they can help children from grades K-12.  Even college students can get online math help if they need it.   I once knew a lady that did reading tutoring and she charged $25 an hour.  That’s a lot of money for a tutor but that was also a long time ago.  It’s probably more like $50 an hour now I bet.  This is a great service for students and parents to have free online math tutoring if you ask me.  Our children need all the help they can get to have a good education after all.

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.

Halloween will be here before long

Living in New Orleans, we don’t really need a reason to dress up in a costume to celebrate.  It’s common place here as many of you know.  But since Halloween will be here before you know it, I thought I might let you in on something really neat I found.  Halloween is not just for children.  Adults like to dress up too you know.  Well I found some plus size costumes that look great.  Not everyone is a size ‘nothing’ you know and at least this site realizes that and helps us full figured girls out.

Everyone knows one of the most fun parts of dressing up for a celebration like Halloween, is getting to wear wigs .  You can be anyone you want with a wig on.  I have always wanted long blond hair even though my hair is almost black and you can even find a long blond wig on here.  Really I have always wanted to dress as Lady Godiva but that wouldn’t work at my age.  I’ll just have to stick with Marilyn Monroe or Mortisha is more like it in all reality.  Okay, I’ll come clean, Grandma-ma from the Adams family is more like what I would look like today but that’s okay.  I can still enjoy the costumes.

I love YouTube

Since I have discovered YouTube, I have been having a blast checking out some of the video’s they have on there.  One things for sure, if you need a laugh, you’ll surely find it on there or if you’re looking for your favorite song, it’s probably on there too.

Who ever came up with YouTube must have loved AFV because there are a lot of video’s on there that you might have seen on that TV show.  Anyway, check it out sometime and I bet you’ll be hooked too.

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.

It’s almost September!!

Holy cow, I just realized that it’s almost September.  Before you know it, Christmas will be here again.  I better start looking for photo Christmas cards because I always send them out to my family, friends and favorite customers.  That’s the good thing about the Internet, you don’t have to wait until a certain time to start looking for seasonal things like Christmas Cards.  I love the selection they have at this company.  You are more likely to find something you really like here than any other web site I have found.  In fact, if you know of a better one, let me know.  The hard part for me is narrowing it down to just one style and one picture.

You gotta love these kids

I swear I have never seen so much Bling Bling as they call it as I have this summer with this group of college kids.  I had to ask one of them where they find jewelry like that and they told me that they found it on the Internet.  It seems this one company has been around for quite some time and is responsible for a lot of the ‘Bling’ we are seeing most everywhere now since they were the pioneers to begin with.

Nothing like a geek when you need one

I know that some people take offense to the term ‘Geek’ but I sure don’t see why.  After all, if you are a Geek, chances are you make a lot of money or have the potential to make a lot of money anyway.  I would much rather be a ‘Geek’ than any of the other names kids call each other.  Well, here’s one Geek you will definitely want on you side if you are looking for web hosting.  They have done most or all of the work for you so that saves you time, and lots of it.  By the time it would take for you to find out the information they already give you on this one site, you would probably be so mixed up that you wouldn’t remember which one was the best for what.  I would be anyway.

If you’re looking for a dedicated server, they’ll let you know who is the best.  One things for sure, I wouldn’t even know where to start looking for one of those because I don’t even know what that is.  That’s one of the reasons I keep my own personal computer ‘Geek’ around.  He knows more about computers and the Internet than I would ever be able to learn.  That’s one of the ‘joy’s of youth’ you know.

Anyway, did you know that you could even find green hosting?  It’s true.  You all know that ‘Going Green’ is the huge thing now and how in the world a web site host can be ‘Green’ is beyond me but I think that’s wonderful.  When I need a new host, I think I’ll got with a green one to.  After all, we all gotta do what we gotta do for our planet since we’re the ones that messed it up in the first place.

Dating just ain’t what it used to be!

Back when I was a young lady, you would go to a local function, meet a guy, and he would maybe call you sometime through the week.  Now the only local functions there are it seems are at the unemployment office.  You can’t even go to church to meet someone.  Some of the young people here at work told me I needed to find someone to date or a new friend. I told them I have plenty of friends thank you very much.  Well it seems that’s not the kind of friends they meant.  I haven’t dated in years so what makes them think I would want to start now.

They even told me I needed to maybe check out an online dating service like Perfect Match.  Me go online to find a date?  They must be out of their minds but then they told me about eHarmony and how they really try to match you with someone that is right for you.  They said that there is even a dating site called Chemistry.com.   The best thing they told me was to check out the site where they tell you all about all of these sites so you can choose the one or two that you think you just might find Mr. Right.  Isn’t technology amazing?

I love to read

I don’t just mean books either. Magazine subscriptions are what fill most of my reading needs. If it’s something I’m interested in, I have a subscription to a magazine that relates to what ever it is.  No I’m not one of those old ladies that only reads magazines about health or decorating or even cooking.

In fact, this is where I found my absolute favorite magazine.  “The Economist Magazine Subscription” is the best subscription I have ever gotten but that’s my opinion.  I have really learned a great deal about what’s going on in Washington and around the world as far as that’s concerned.  There’s some very interesting reading there.
