Hansen Wholesale offers Guaranteed Lowest Prices on ALL Gas logs by R. H. Peterson

Been thinking about  turning to Gas Logs sometime in the near future. From what I can tell R. H. Peterson Real Fyre Gas Logs are right up there on top and that they have a great website with a lot of good information to take in on the subject. So I’ve been taking a gander around the Robert H. Peterson gas logs site to find out more about the world of Vented Gas Logs and Ventless Gas Logs, I didn’t know that there would be such a variety to choose from and many things that are factored into the decision of which way to go. But I’m sure that Hansen Wholesale is the place that I’m going to be purchasing my choice from.

This old farm house is going to be needing upgrades in so many areas and I can only do such much with so little time and money, but if I keep on steady like I might be able to see and feel a difference and feel good about what I’ve been putting so much blood, sweat and tears into. It’s not like it’s a money pit, my parents took real good care of the place but it is old and it needs to be kept on top of so it doesn’t start going downhill because that can turn into a real nightmare.

WebHostingBuzz

A good New Year’s Resolution to adhere to these days is to try and make a better effort to become as “green” as humanly possible. Living on a farm most of my life I have learned many ways to help our Mother Earth in various ways. The good lord knows that we have been into recycling before it was the “in” thing to do. We have always tried hard to replace anything that we have taken from the land and have been open to ideas and suggestions.

One thing that we can all do is give our business to companies that are doing their part in the “green movement”. Did you know that there are website hosting companies that are making a huge effort and are doing wonderful things in order to participate in these practices. WebHosting Buzz is doing a tremendous job with their efforts. You can read more about them here at http://www.webhostingfan.com/reviews/webhostingbuzz-web-hosting-review/. 

I’d like to really encourage as many folks as possible to check this out and see if they would be willing to switch over to a web host that is doing things such as WebHostingBuzz is doing. You can find reviews and ratings as well as a lot more information on a ton of web hostings at webhostingfan.com.

Hannah Montana Presents Disney

Contributed by Milford Woods

My favorite television station is Disney that I catch on satellite tv. Hannah Montana is a character on Disney with her own show starring herself and her Dad. Her brother occasionally gets to make an appearance but the highlight of Hannah Montana is the actress herself. She has an obvious air that her popularity is due to her own charms which include her singing voice and her blond wig. Sometimes, I catch Hannah Montana just to see her quizzical look into the eye of the camera while she is acting as if to say, you want me to act with you looking? Notwithstanding her less than theatrical qualities, her singing voice is well trained and adds a little bit of music to a program that has expected plots in story.

Hannah Montana is one of my favorite television actresses because she is a very hard working actress. Her program is proof that hard work still counts in making a series popular on Satellite TV Packages. Hannah Montana writers must spend a lot of time with the stars of the show to keep the interest level up for them as well as for us, her viewers.

Die Hard Series Among My Favorite Movies

Thanks for the article from Jermaine Haynes

I have been a true Die Hard fan since the first movie hits the theaters back in 1988, I love Bruce Willis an believe he is the reason the Die Hard movies have done so well. No other actor could do justice to the part of John McClane so brilliantly.

The original movie center around Christmas Eve where McClane, who is a police officer with the NYPD, and he decide to travel to Los Angeles to try and work out the problems in his marriage to Holly Gennaro played by Bonnie Bedelia. Of course the arrival of thirteen terrorists put a damper on his plans for reconciliation with Holly who is taken hostage along with other party goers.

McClane is not taken hostage and roams through the building become a nuisance to them while attempting to foil much of their plans. The story ends with the good guys winning of course and the hero McClane reconciles with his estranged wife in blissful harmony once again.

Now I am told that Die Hard 5 is in production and I am happily waiting in anticipation for its release, but I am going to have to check my satellite TV guide to find out when Die Hard 4 is playing, as I have yet to see the movie. That’s the best thing about having Cable TV channels, we can catch reruns of all our favorite movies.

Credit Issues

Who would have thought that our credit report would have so much impact on our daily lives? I used to think that credit was only important if you wanted to buy a house. But over the years I have learned that credit affects buying a car, getting credit cards, and even getting life insurance. So I decided to find a place that could help and discovered  The Credit People have a web site with lots of good information.

There are web sites to help people with credit repair service as well as giving information to people just learning about credit and getting started, such as new college grads and even people newly widowed who never handled money before. I’m hoping that this type of information might help some one else out in their time of need and these are certainly needy times that we have gotten ourselves in.

My credit got all messed up a few years back, before my parents passed away and I took over the farm and house. I haven’t had the extra time or energy to deal with credit issues but due to my sister’s urging I have been looking around a bit online researching the different “Repair Your Bad Credit” options and offers that are out there today. You can imagine how much easier the Internet makes this task for me. The last thing I need is to be tangled up with numerous phone calls or playing phone tag throughout my busy day.

I have managed to pay off most of my credit card bills, but there are still two of them that have some pretty high balances on them, with some pretty steep interest rates being charged each month. I’ll be able to breath a bit easier once they are done and over with, and I’m so looking forward to that day.

Keeping Up With The Kardashians

While surfing channels I seem to keep seeing bits and pieces of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians, a show that I have never had any intentions of watching. I keep seeing a guy that looks familiar, but his voice isn’t quite right and his hair is just butt ugly. Come to find out – this guy is Bruce Jenner, a former Olympic athlete but something just didn’t seem to fit so I Googled his name and found out that he is one of the many victims of some plastic surgery done bad.

The 2010 National Geographic Photo Contest

National Geographic has always been known for their great photographs. I’m glad that I ran across this photo on Yahoo. Most of us have a soft spot for dolphins and this photo depicts the seriousness of what man’s trash is doing to so much of our wildlife.

Dolphin alert?- The archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil is considered a wildlife sanctuary, but today, even in this isolated archipelago dolphinsare victims of the bad habits of consumption.

Los Angeles Kings

Post contributed by Josue Durham

The Los Angeles Kings have returned to their regal origins with a great start to the season, all of this without the talented defenseman Drew Doughty, and I can only assume that once Doughty returns the wins will continue in perpetuity. Okay, maybe not in perpetuity, but this team will be very impressive for a long time, as they are excellent in all facets of the game, and their defensive prowess will only further improve with the addition.

Doughty hopes to return Thursday, but regardless of whether he does or not the Kings have shown they can win without him. This team is a juggernaut, a majestic team which I have pledged my undying fealty. Last night we booed Kovalchuk relentlessly as our stifling defense held him to only two shots on goal. We made the former King realize that joining up with Satan’s army was a mistake, as the mighty monarchs taught him who wears the crown. It is no secret why we continue to be perfect at home, as home is the palace where the king feels most comfortable. I suspect we will win like 80% of our home games this season, that is how talented and impressive this team is. Since I moved far way from Southern California, I like rooting for the Kings via NHL Center Ice available through Direct TV satellite.

Too Pooped To Pop

I have a good friend that is confirmed bachelor just as I am. But where I am pretty quiet and laid back he is pretty wild and crazy and considers himself to be one of the best pick up artist in town. Me, I don’t even know how to text a girl with a pick up line and not sound like a complete idiot much less looking at one right in the eye and spewing out some outrageously witty line in an attempt to get her undivided attention.

I generally just go up and introduce myself, offer to buy her a drink (if at a bar) and hope that my smile gets to her in a positive way in an attempt to hook up with nice and interesting female. Not that I have a lot of time to spend bar hopping these days. There is always so much work to be done around here, come night time I’m usually wiped out and not in any mood to clean up, dress up and go up town for an evening out on the town. A quick dinner and a nice hot shower is more my speed then an hour or so on the computer before kicking back on the sofa for some television, if I can find something decent to watch, works out well for this tired and lonely puppy.
