Vehicle Issues

Gone are the days of spending hours on the phone with your local yellow pages in one hand, pen and paper in the other hand and writing pages of information down in an effort to find the best car insurance quote from insurance agents in your neighborhood.

All this takes place after you have spent many hours hopping from one car dealership to another finding the perfect vehicle to purchase. This process could takes days, weeks and even months to accomplish, what a time consuming task that was, back in the day!

Today you can spend what time you have and need comparing vehicles and car insurance cost offers and issues on web sites like what thecarconnection.com web site has to offer. It’s a geat one stop shopping web site for just about everything concerning new and used vehicles. Ratings, articles, reviews, photos, prices, etc. Just about every type of vehicle can be found here, lincoln, dodge, chevy, ford, honda, mazda, toyota, vw and a whole lot more right at your finger tips. They really have done a boat load of legwork on this site folks, they couldn’t have made it any easier, even financing issues can be found there.

Gift Cards

Gift Cards and Gift Certificates have become a very popular gift giving item. Too many times have we all purchased a gift for some one only to find out that they all ready have one, or don’t need or want one and it turns out to be a waste of time and money for everyone all the way around. With Christmas coming about in short order I have been spending some time online looking for gift ideas for the folks that I need to buy holiday gifts for and I’ve decided that I will purchase gift cards for many of these folks that are on my Christmas gift giving list.

I have found a site at globalsportsstore.com that have some great products that I’m sure several of my friends and family members would enjoy. They have tons of outdoor and sports related products, like Air Rifles and Guns, along with the ever popular GPS systems that just about everyone owns or would like to for the majority of their vehicles. GPS has become very specialized and the prices are coming down just a bit each and every year. So I’m going to go ahead and order several gift cards from this site and get a few names checked off of my list nice and early like.

If you want to see a cool online sports store give globalsportsstore.com a look see and see if you get any gift giving ideas for your holiday gift giving options.

My Cousin’s Time of Need With Multiple Sclerosis

I know a few people that have Multiple Sclerosis, but to tell you the truth I don’t know a whole lot about MS but I’ve been doing a bit of research on the Internet and learning what I can. A cousin of ours has been experiencing Ms Symptoms and was recently diagnosed with MS so I figured I’d find out what I can and pass the information along to other family members as well. Knowledge is power and the Internet can provide us with a lot of knowledge, it’s unfortunate that my cousin doesn’t have Internet access, but most of the rest of the family does.

When I find good information I’m printing out what I find and will mail my cousin with what I can find that I think will be useful for him and his wife to use. His doctor wants him to follow a Multiple Sclerosis Diet and to exercise as much as possible. So I found a website allaboutms.com and found a Ms Diet and printed it out and put it in today’s mail to them. It’s a start and I’ll be finding out more as I go along and see if there is anything else that I can do for him in any way that I can. I’m just glad that they don’t live too far away from the rest of the family and I so that we can be there for him in his time of need.

TV

The new fall TV season is here and there seems to be a lot of good shows that are hitting the air waves. I’m trying to remember all the ones that I want to check out. All I can say is that I’m grateful for my DVR so that I will be able to record a lot of the ones that I can’t be home to see.

LA Ink

Kat is a trip on the television series “LA Ink”  this isn’t the type of show that I would normally watch, but for some reason I keep ending up watching LA Ink here and there. It is a drama filled night time soap opera laced with leather and tattoos and foul language and some really freakie people!

End of The Month

I’ll be so glad when the end of September gets here. That is when I can switch to another cell phone provider. I hate the one that I’m currently stuck with and have been for the past two years. There are better deals out there and I’m researching the different providers out there to find the best one for me and my needs. I’m due for a new phone anyway.

Class Rooms

I have to say that I think that it is pretty cool that these days you can find Math answers on the Internet. Today’s students can now get high quality Online tutoring for just about any subject out there from K-12 and all the way up through college. There is a great site at tutornext.com that you can find all kinds of school help. Wish we had something like that when I was attending school and struggling with Algebra 1 and Algebra 2.

I used to be able to help my nieces and nephews with their homework when they were in elementary school. But as soon as the started middle and high school I have to tell you that became pretty useless, especially in the math area. If I don’t have a calculator in hand I’m pretty much in hot water these days.

On day I’d like to be able to take some college classes, but they will be on subjects that I have an interest in, like history. Too bad I wasn’t interested in history back in my school days because history is fascinating to me and I’d like to learn more in a formal class room setting one day.

My Love for Real Life Murder Mystery

Guest post of the week by Bradley Guthrie

I’ve never been a real fan of true crime television. I didn’t want to hear about armed robberies, murders, and kidnappings at the end of my day. Then one day my brother introduced me to The First 48. In this show real life homicide detectives take us through 48 hours of a murder case. The catch being that if a suspect isn’t found within the first 48 hours of the investigation then the chances of solving the case are drastically cut.

The draw in for me was the fact that they show the true range of emotions of the investigators. You can tell they have a real emotional tie to the case and more than anything they want to see the grieving friends and family get closure. They are passionate about their jobs and it shows through in all they do. The interrogations are also shown, as well as witness interviews.

I find myself actually seeking the show out when I flip on my free satellite tv. I’ve spent hours trying to solve the cases along with the investigators, even crying along with friends and family members when interviewed. When they catch a murderer I chalk one up for the good guys. Maybe a change of profession is in order for me.

Hopes & Dreams

I’ve always wanted to have a nice back or side yard all fixed up with all of the trimmings that are available these days for outdoor use. A nice 2 person hot tub, with a fully stocked bar, a nice sound system is a must. But what would be really awesome would be an outdoor TV to really top it off with. Of course it would need one of those outdoor tv enclosures that would protect it from all the elements that go with being outside. It is amazing what they have come up with, right?

It isn’t like I get a lot of company around the place but one day I’d like to be able to entertain the way I’d like to. Right now there is so much that needs to be done around this old farm and the house and all of the out buildings that it doesn’t leave much time or energy to hook up with many local folks. But I’ll keep trucking along as best as I can, who knows what the future will bring to me or to the home stead. Hopefully I have a few good years left in me to offer someone special.  LOL
