Gonna Be A Bit Pro Active Here Folks

I can’t even begin to imagine what it would be if I had to deal with a case of identity theft. What a nightmare that would turn out to be. That is why I am trying the 30 Day Free Trial that Identity Hawk has to offer. I found this offer while surfing the Internet a while back and I was interested enough to book mark their site while contemplating the subject for a time and now is the time to go ahead and take action before something like this happens.

Identity Hawk numerous ways to protect people from identity theft protection and I would anyone to go to their site and see what they have to offer and if it is something that could help you or other people that you know and love. This is a growing problem, one that I don’t believe is ever going to go away, what a crazy world we live in today folks. It isn’t as if we don’t have a million other things to worry about and deal with, like right now Mother Nature is taking it’s toll on us that are living on the east coast. My poor sister is really freaked out and wants me to come over there, which she knows is so totally out of the question. I mean how could I possibly leave the farm and all the animals to go hide out with her and her family.

McDonald’s Sweet Tea

I have not been a big fan of McDonald’s for some time now. After eating so much of their food for so many years I got totally burned out on it some time back. I do have to say that their sweet tea is the best iced tea ever and you just can’t beat the price anywhere else, a large sweet tea anywhere else will cost you at least double that and if you dine in you can have free refills as much as you like. Just don’t purchase it through the drive through or as take out because trying to get a refill that way is a real non-no. So as much as I like zipping through drive through it is worth it for me to go in and order and eat in the cool air conditioning and get as many free refills that I can guzzle down before heading out again into the summer’s heat.

It’s All About Getting The Best Bang For Your Buck

We are all looking for ways to cut back on our expenses these past couple of years. There is a lot of information on the TV about ways to reduce your expenses, but for folks like me that don’t get to see much TV, we depend on the Internet for information and tips instead. I just watched a clip on a new book, “Living Large in Lean Times”, that was just recently released by Clark Howard, a money expert, who is famous for giving us all kinds of advice on how to get the best bang for our buck and how to avoid being ripped off in the process. I don’t have much time for books these days but hearing short clips like this that let you know that you can get prescription eyeglasses for $7 at ZenniOptical or that you can extend the life of your razor just by drying it after each use, I can take in small doses and not get over whelmed with too much information.

Shopping online is the way to go these days, especially for people like me that don’t live right in town, the nearest town to me is over 35 miles away, so running into town is a time consuming chore and takes a lot of gas just to save a couple of bucks on something that is on sale. With so many companies catering to the ever growing online shopping population you can find great deals all over the Internet and if you stick with only the companies that provide you with free shipping you can really make out on top. Let them bring it to me, yes indeed, that is what I’m talking about.

Virginia State Car Inspections

Here in Virginia we have to have our vehicles inspected once a year. It is a pain the rear, but I can understand the reasoning behind this mandatory law. If your vehicle isn’t able to pass this state inspection then you are putting yourself and everyone else that is on the roads with you are are in danger as well and that just isn’t cool. So I believe that for $16 a year it is well worth the time and money that it takes to have this done. I just wish more automotive service centers offered this for their customers and that more of them stayed open on Saturdays to do the job. For some reason a most of them close at noon on Saturdays and apparently it is against the law to do these inspections on Sunday, which makes no sense to me what-so-ever and I have never found anyone that can explain to me why this is the case.

GREEN Rubber Mulch – The Way To Go Folks

What can I say? When I think of mulch, rubber is the last thing that comes to my mind. But apparently there is a new fangled type of mulch that is being manufactured out of old tires by a company called Rubberecycle. This is the same company that provided the White House with the playground that the Obama’s daughters and their lucky play mates get to play on. I’m assuming that when a new president moves into the White House that the playground will stay right where it is, but who knows what the future will bring when that takes place when all of that comes about. But for now it is good to know that the Obamas are doing their part in going green in numerous ways that are all good to know about.

This particluar company offers several products that are long lasting, safe and extremely environment friendly, not to mention economical. I would urge anyone to check out their website of rubberecycle.com and see all that they are about. If I had kids and was looking into having a playground for them to enjoy I would certainly be interested in having this company come out and see what they could come up with for them. We all want our kids to spend time outside having fun, but safety is a big concern, right? The numbers are startling when it comes to injuries that occur on playgrounds all across the country, nothing new really, just more media attention is taking place on the subject these days. I know that I would feel like a real dog if one of my kids or one of their friends or another member of family’s kid got hurt on something that I paid for and allowed them to play on. So it sounds like this rubber mulch is the way to go folks, if you have the need.

Netflix

My sister gave me a Netflix coupon that I just activated, last night, that just gave me one month’s worth of movies for free. I don’t have a lot of time for movie watching, but when I do have the time to sit down and enjoy some TV time it will be nice to be able to pick something that I really want to watch and to be able to watch it when I want to.  There are tons of movies and TV shows to choose from, more than I expected to find. So for the next month I’ll be catching up on as many movies as I ca

Save Time and Money, Shop Online

We really have become a society that expects and demands instant gratification in so many ways. We have gotten to where when we find we need or want something we run right out and get it as quick a we can in order to move on to the next thing. With us growing up and living out on a farm, things move a little slower, but by having the Internet available makes it possible to speed things up just a bit and save us money along the way.

Since money is so tight everywhere alot of folks are starting to take a step back and look around for the best deal on many of the items and services that we require and have become accustomed to, before just jumping in with both feet and buying the first thing available. There are numerous websites devoted to finding deals and one of my favorite ones to check out before buying anything is http://www.savings.com. It is very easy to use and has a wide variety of ways to save money for online shoppers. This site has an “Ask, Answer & Save” page that provides you with answers from their community of deal experts to your questions that you submit, which is pretty cool. There is also a blog that you can read for useful information on savings as well.

Before I purchase anything these days I take some time to look around for the best deal that I can find. Online shoppers have so many ways to save money, the first thing I look for is free shipping, that in itself is a money saver. With gas prices once again on the rise, I don’t want to go into town for anything that I don’t have to.

Gas Money

Today the sign, at the Sheetz that I go to, is saying that gas is now $3.49 a gallon for unleaded. It cost me $84 to fill up the tank in the “Farm Use Only” pick up truck that I had to drive to town in order to run some errands that needed tending to before the weekend began. This isn’t getting any better any time soon, I’m afraid. With the coming of spring and summer we go through a lot of gas around this place, this isn’t sounding promising at all folks.

Discount Scrubs at Blue Sky Scrubs Online

I’ve decided to find some nice looking discount scrub sets for my sister’s birthday gift, for her up and coming birthday April 21st. Seems she is always looking for new clothes to wear to the hospital where she has been working at now for all most a year now. I’m so proud of her for going back to school and doing what she knew she had to do in order to gain employment in the medical field like so many other people have decided to do in these hard economic times. Since there will always be a need for medical professionals on this earth, it is a pretty safe bet to get the education needed to get your feet wet and stay in the medical field.

I remember that she found some pretty great hospital uniform suppliers online that she was excited about. One of them was blueskyscrubs.com, she was telling me is a company that started out with the manufacturing of scrub caps. Then their nursing scrubs, medical scrubs, and hospital uniforms were added six months later  in December 2005 and they have been selling like crazy ever since. I would love to get her one of those scrub caps or a couple of their nicer discount scrub tops. I’ll have to check and see what all they have. It is so nice to be able to just jump in the computer and check on things such as this. If I had to get in the truck and drive all the way into town to find her something my options would be so limited. My sister deserves something nice that she wants for her birthday, she does so much for the entire family while taking care of her own family, and then taking care of people at the hospital as well. My sister – The Care Taker – who would have thought that 20 years ago when she was busy being a tom boy and beating the tar out of the neighborhood bullies that were terrorizing her brothers and her sisters alike.
