Muscle Cars – Making A Come Back

My good friend, that lives only a few miles from me, it totally into restoring cars. Many the old muscle cars that we are seeing more and more of on the roads these past couple of years. You can be that the driver of the car will at least be in their 40’s and most likely having a mid life crisis, much like the guys you see driving the old souped up Corvettes all these years that we have all laughed at watching them cruise down the road.

It is so cool that so many of the older cars are making a come back. Mustang’s right now seem to be ruling the road, once again, and now I’m seeing some pretty cool Chevy Camaro that are making a come back. These newer models are great to see making a comeback and it appears that there are plenty of parts available. CARiD is one of the places that you can find the chevy camaro accessories. They have been in the business since 2003 and are based out of Edison, NJ. My buddy relies on them a lot when he needs custom and OEM parts for his many projects that keep him busy day in and day out.

oldies are goodies — Muscle cars are making a big come back

It’s All About Gold

Since I live and work on a farm there is no gold IRA or gold 401k for me in the near future. From what I’ve been reading online, the big thing now is gold being the number one alternative for the Pension Plans that most white collar workers have at their disposal through their employer. Times are increasingly becoming more uncertain, while gold is always a good investment and always has been.

Gold Coins Gain has a very informative website that has a ton of good reading all about gold. Their History of Gold Coins is something that everyone should read and learn about. It is well written and an easy read that can be found at the bottom of all of their pages, so you can’t say that you can’t find it anywhere! They also offer a free Gold Guide that I have all ready ordered for myself, that I can’t wait to receive in the mail soon.

Did you know that the central banks of the world, governments and other institutions have been hoarding gold, along with increasing their gold holdings, getting away from the paper assets that have been around for a good long while. People are being advised to learn all that they can while stating that gold will add stability, growth and protection in your portfolio of investments.

So even if you don’t have an IRA gold or 401k gold option there are other ways to get your hands on the world’s oldest asset of choice and Gold Coins Gain has the information that you need to jump on the bandwagon, there is still enough gold to go around. I for one don’t want to miss out on a great opportunity, so I plan on reading my free gold guide cover to cover and find the right option for me, because I don’t think that there is a hidden stash of gold around here that I can count on keeping my head above water for the next couple of decades, believe me I have looked!

Looking Into Health Insurance

Now that Brandon is turning twenty four he has started looking for health insurance in nc. As most of us know, the health care system has turned into a huge nightmare all across the country. It seems like every month we are being told that there are cliches in the Affordable Heath Care act and their website, which isn’t helping the general population one bit.

One has to wonder when this will all be straightened out. As hard as it is on people looking for health insurance, I have to imagine how hard it is to be in the health insurance business. I have a good friend that is in the life/home/auto and health insurance business that I just might have to call and see how he is fairing throughout this whole mess.

He is a good guy, who opened his agency in 2008, right when the economy went south. He has two young kids, a new house with a mortgage and a business that he sunk everything he had into, that is just barely hanging on. It would be good to hear his voice again.

Hands-On CPR

Did you know that a victim of a cardiac arrest could die within four – six minutes if they are not treated the right way and in a timely fashion? And that today’s studies show that by providing CPR to an adult that has collapsed due to a sudden cardiac arrest can more than double or triple a person’s chance of coming out of type of arrest alive. What really bites is that less than 1/3 of these people, that are not in the hospital at that precise moment, don’t even receive CPR.

I know that way too many people are not comfortable performing CPR on anyone – especially on some one that they don’t know for a various reasons. Since the 1980’s what with the AIDS/HIV epidemic people are really scared about getting that close to anyone and have really shied away from the whole CPR idea, big time and not just because they are afraid of doing something wrong. It is such a shame.

I’m so glad that there is a big new ad campaign going on right now with the American Heart Association and the Ad Council that is introducing the Hands-Only CPR technique that hopefully will have a positive impact on people and get people to start saving lives and reducing the number of people that are dying each day because of heart failure. This Hands-Only CPR is a simple 2 step process, the first thing you do is call 911 and the second being to push hard and fast on the chest, right in the center of it, until help arrives.

Reader’s Digest

I have always enjoyed the monthly Reader’s Digest that manages to find it’s way to my mailbox each month. With not a lot of extra time on my hands to spend reading any books, it’s nice to be able to pick up a Reader’s Digest and find something interesting and entertaining to read that doesn’t take up a lot of my time.

I’m surprised that I haven’t received a bill from them yet telling me that I need to send in more money to renew the subscription that my parents had forever and day. They must have paid way in advance or Reader’s Digest has just forgotten about us, either way I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth at this time.

Security Equipment

Once again my oldest sister is sticking her nose in my business. This time around she is concerned with all of the home break ins that are on the increase, due to the economy and people becoming more and more desperate for money. She has been doing a lot of research on the computer and is trying to convince me to purchase one of the new security systems that people are turning to in order to protect their property and their loved ones. I’ve told her that I don’t need a fancy security video camera around here, I have plenty of weapons here that will do the trick just fine.

My Dad left me a large weapons collection, when he passed and I am a very good shot, always have been. I keep all of the guns cleaned and ready for action. I target practice almost on a weekly basis as well, so I’m really not that concerned about it all. And it isn’t like I leave the place very often, plus all of the dogs would scare anyone from getting too close to anything around here.

She sent me the link to ADT Security last night, she particularly wanted me to read about the backup battery and equipment guide so that I would know as much as possible about what they have to offer. They have a good product to offer and I don’t have a problem with them, it’s just that I’m already up to my neck in debt and I don’t need to take on anything else at this time. A lot depends on this year’s harvest. With so little rain this year, it could possibly turn out real bad and I’m not looking forward to that.

Got Milk?

Was watching the news yesterday morning (I’m thinking it was The Today Show) and they were running a story about how within a short period of time milk is going to cost $6.00 a gallon! They were blaming the increasing cost of fuel for the increase, which is the reason that the price is rising on just about everything.I think that is horrible! Milk is going to become a luxury item at that price! For many years there has been a huge campaign about how healthy milk is, but I think that people will end up drinking more sugary fruit flavored drinks like kool-aid instead of drinking milk if it gets that expensive! If milk gets that expensive, I imagine the milk related products like cheese, ice cream, butter and yogurt will rise in price as well!

Again, I think that is going to be driving people towards eating the cheap junk food instead of dairy product.

Virtual Servers

From what I have recently researched and found, mainly online, is that RapidSwitch is a leading server hosting company over in the U.K., with well over 4000 servers that they host for a wide and ever growing range of clients and have been in this business since 1999 and still growing by leaps and bounds. It was only three and a half years ago that they were very happy to announce their launching of virtual servers, and that they are still offering promotions in honor of that launching that folks could be taking advantage of.

Virtual servers are an interesting method of partitioning a physical server computer into multiple servers in a way that each has the appearance and capabilities of running on its own dedicated machine. Each virtual server can run its own full-fledged operating system, and then each server then can be independently rebooted. A good thing to have and to know about. RapidSwitch has an interesting website that is easy to understand, which can be a challenge for me sometimes. Always being busy with the farm, always in a hurry, no time to really focus and get good quality time to try and learn things and then find the time to process the information.

Farming sure has changed a lot in the past couple of decades.
