Second City Cop

Cops see the worst of humans every day. From the streets to the courtrooms to the jails, they are surrounded by people behaving badly. It has to wear on you and affect the way you see the world.I think most cops also see the world as strictly black and white. There is almost no grey area in their world. You are either good or bad. You are either right or wrong. You are either guilty or innocent. And honestly, I don’t think they believe many people are innocent – I think they believe everyone is guilty of something and its just a matter of time until they get caught. And some of them will make it up just to get you a ticket or if you piss them off. So when talking to a cop, mind your manners and say very little until you can get a lawyer to sit with you. If you talk to cops without a lawyer you are an idiot and deserve to be thrown in jail to protect the rest of us good citizens from having to suffer having you out on the streets to mess up our lives.

There’s a blog I like that is written by a cop. It is full of sarcasm and barbs and I love to read it, so what’s wrong with me? Anyway, if you have an interest in what a cop sees and thinks, you might want to read Second City Cop.

Sin City

Picked up the DVD called “Sin City” from WalMart’s $5 bargain rack. I really only got it because it has Bruce Willis in it, and most of his movies are pretty good. I’m a big fan of the Die Hard series – those movies are good to watch over and over.So last night there was nothing worth a hoot on the tube and I decided to watch Sin City.

OMG! What a stupid movie. I can’t believe I watched the whole thing. It was so boringly stupid. I guess you have to be the kind of person who reads comic books to appreciate the story line, the bizarre characters and the special effects. I’ve never been much of a comic book reader after the 3rd grade, so all that was wasted on me and my $5 was wasted in return. Not to mention the 2 hours of my life that I will never get back.

Thumbs down on Sin City.

Credit Cards & All Their Offerings

Credit Card Offers really need to be checked out thoroughly before signing on the dotted line in today’s world. A good place to find information on different credit card offers and companies is provided on line at CardHub.com. I have found it to be a valuable tool in my search for a credit card, one that I can use specifically for gasoline purchases. One that will provide me with some type of reward each time I use it, and with as many trips as I take to the gas stations these days, I should be able to rack up some nice cash back or rebates if I take my time and educate myself with the numerous credit card companies that are just begging for my business. Once I clicked on & selected each category option preference that was provided me on this site, it narrowed the search down to 7 different types of cards being offered for me to check out and review.

It was a pretty easy process, for someone who knows what they are looking for, such as myself. Visa, Discover, Master Card, American Express, all have offers right now, and I finally decided on going with the Capitol One, Orbitz Visa Platinum  that offers a variety of rewards, that will make me a happy consumer each time I use the card at gas stations, restaurants, rental cars, and gift cards, as well.

So, with that said, if you are interested in finding good credit cards with the best offer, this really is a nice, user friendly set up website, and be sure you check out the Editor’s Picks while you are at it. Please note that CardHub.com has worked hard to put all this information together for your convenience, but they do not guarantee the accuracy of the information listed, and that they urge you to go to the individual credit card companies website and double check on the information before applying.

Web Hosting Geeks

You and I can find web hosting reviews, ratings and at an award winning site, since 2004, at Webhostinggeeks.com. A very user friendly site with many things to offer someone looking for webhosting information.

I still consider myself pretty much a “newbie” on my PC and the Internet, as well as my attempt to keep up on this blog. I certainly still have plenty to learn, since I’m pretty well secluded myself, here at the farm, the Internet has become a very valuable tool for my learning of such things and issues. The Web Hosting Geeks have a lot to offer and I’m grateful for what they have put out there for all the world to use and enjoy at our leisure.

Week end plans

The weather man is promising a nice weather week end, a couple of friends and family members have promised to come and lend a hand at the place during that time. My one sister is coming with her kids and are promising to lend a hand and keep everyone feed and well hydrated, maybe even a bar b que would be a good plan.

There is so much to be done around here, I’m glad to have the extra help, some company and some decent food for a change.

A Skin Brightener Offer

I’ve known a few people in my life that have had to deal with severe skin issues, such as scarring, melasma, age spots, liver spots and the like. So it was interesting reading at skinbright.com to see that they have products to help these types of issues. They are now offering a skin brightener that will help reduce the appearance of scars and discoloration at a discounted price. They even ship the package very discreetly for privacy concerns, and are currently running a promotion where you buy one and get two for free, that is a great value, an offer that you don’t get to see often enough.

This interesting product is made in America, it is a 100% natural product and they not use animals to do their testings on, which I would like to see more companies doing. As well as giving you, the buyer, a 30 day, risk free guarantee, you may return the bottle for a complete refund, even if the bottle is completely empty.

When you purchase from Skin Bright you are ordering directly from the manufacturer, there for cutting out the cost of the middleman, which in turn saves you and the company valuable time and money. An interesting product to check out and see if it can help with your skin brightening issues.

Area Rugs

I am now ready to start looking around for some nice area rugs to put the final touches on some of the home improvement projects that has been keeping me busy with as of late. I am basically leaving the final decision with my sister on what she thinks would look good with what colors in what room, but I do like to be able to browse along side of her when she does her browsing on the Internet.So far it looks like a company that is based somewhere out of Virginia has the best selection and best prices that we have found on our search. They have a website of Abingdonrugoutlet.com which I have spent a good portion of my time at these past few evenings during some of our my time. They offer rugs from a variety of dealers such as, Concord Global, Dynamic, Home Dynamix, Milliken, and Nourison, just to name a few right off.

They also have all the necessary accessories that are needed such as paddings and the like. And my favorite offering by this brilliant company is the Free Ground Shipping on all rugs sized 8? by 11? or smaller within the continental United States.
