A Wrist Watch, Valentine’s Gift

It has been a few years since I’ve had a “sweet heart” to celebrate and buy gifts for on Valentine’s Day, which comes each and every year on February the 14th. But I do remember, years back, right out of high school, I had been dating the same girl for 3 years, things got pretty hot and heavy, marriage was discussed a few times, but it fizzled out and we broke it off, right after Valentine’s Day, and I had bought her a very nice watch, one of the well known Bulova watches, that she thoroughly enjoyed receiving on that day for lovers.

She always had an issue with being late, but never wore a watch, although she owned several of them, so I thought that a nice looking watch, presented to her with love on Valentine’s Day would encourage her to start wearing a wrist watch, therefore giving her the opportunity to get to places in a more timely fashion.

It was totally strange to run into her a few years back, she is now married with children, I noticed that she was still wearing that watch and she told me how she is still known as arriving late to the majority of her appointments and functions in her now extremely busy life with the kids and all that is involved with that lifestyle. Guess some people never change!

This two tone ladies Bulova watch is very similar to the one that she is hopefully still wearing to this day.

Vacation Time at The Bahamas

Unemployment Issues

My sister’s husband was laid off of his job a few weeks ago and at the time he thought that it wasn’t too big of a deal, thinking that he could find something by the end of that week. Well surprise, surprise, things are rough all over and they are by no means in this boat all by themselves.I hope that they get their unemployment check soon, because with kids you never know when you will need to haul them off to the doctor or the E.R. and those bills can add up quick and who needs that extra added worry? Mothers and dads have enough to worry about these days with the price of gas and food and everything else for that matter.

Small Businesses

Something that I recently discovered that I wasn’t even aware of was the opportunity for a business to take out a business/merchant cash advance and then have the ability to pay the loaned amount back by the taking of the funds from their future credit card transactions a little at a time, just as easy as that. What a good opportunity for today’s small businesses that are looking for a way to get their hands on some extra cash for what ever reason or need, with no credit check and a secure on line application process. With today’s tough economy every one is looking for a way to help with their financial situations and issues.With minimal paper work required and a 7% payback over a 12 month period, with flexible funding options, Onlinecheck.com is America’s Small Business Funding Experts, and can be a valuable tool for any type of business looking for assistance.

I have a friend that has just recently opened his own business and is all ready looking for ways to expand and that takes money, just like anything else. I was just talking with him the other week about his thoughts on taking out a loan, this type of loan wasn’t mentioned and I think that I will pass this web-site on to him to see if he thinks it would be something that he would be interested in. I think that it is something to definitely check into, you won’t know unless you try.

NYC Looking for Alternative Energy Sources

New York Mayor Bloomburg announced a plan to pursue alternative energy sources for NYC. The major thrust of this plan is to put wind turbines on the tops of buildings and bridges, and along the coastal shores or water of the Atlantic. The City has issued requests for proposals from interested companies and organizations to make this happen.The power grid servicing the NYC area has been overburdened and faulty over the years, with brownouts and blackouts happening more frequently as demand for electricity continues to increase.

New York experimented with wind power several years ago when it put a turbine on city-owned land at 34th Street and the East River, but found that technology at the time was not efficient enough to expand to other properties and it was abandoned.

Proposals can include plans to build wind-based, solar-based and water-based energy sources in New York and offshore as far as 25 miles into the Atlantic. this would be a great model for other major cities to follow. We will be following this closely to see if the results are worth adapting for this area in the future.

Online Savings for JCPenney

As much as I like to do a good amount of my shopping online, since a drive into town takes me away from the farm for too long for me to feel comfortable with, I do at times drive into town, mainly for groceries and gas needs. We do have a mall in town, pretty small in comparison to the big city ones that are multi leveled with scads of retail chains galore. I really am not a mall going person, I don’t like crowds, too many unruly and unchaperoned kids hanging about, looking for trouble and I try my best to stay away from going there as much as possible.

JCPenney has been an anchor department store there for as long as I can remember, my mother bought most of our school clothes from Penneys, and had a credit card with them that she was very proud of having and using. So I continue to purchase many things from JCPenney and am glad that they have JCPenney coupons available for their online shoppers, such as myself, it is all about saving precious dollars at this point, and shopping online saves time and money all the way around.

Spring Break is Near

Students these days have so many options for celebrating and partying on their up and coming spring break vacations. With spring right around the corner, plans are now being made by most high school and college kids for this annual event. The Internet has made this process so much easier by providing us with sites that allow you to plan the entire trip online. You can now take care of air fair, car rentals, hotel/motel reservations and numerous spectacular party packages to enjoy all over the U.S. and surrounding areas.

Things have certainly changed since my days of spring break festivities, but most things have changed dramatically, due to the availability of the Internet to the general public to use, for just about anything these days.

Went to See Iron Man

I’ve been a big fan of Marvel Comics Super Heroes, and I enjoy going to see the movies based on the characters when they come out.  A friend of mine and I went to see the Iron Man movie last night, at the $2 theater in town.  The movie was awesome!  Iron Man rocketed me away throughout the whole movie.

I don’t know any character that could have played Iron Man any better than Robert Downy Jr.  There was talk that Nicholas Cage might play the lead of the Iron Man movie when I first heard about it but Downy really took the character all the way.  I can’t wait to see the second one that comes out!
