Mother’s & Father’s Day

This year these two up and coming dates will have a tremendous impact on the whole family, since the death of both of our parents is still so new. No holiday is or will be the same for some time to come, but we are all trying our best to deal with the bitter sweat memories that holidays deal us that are dealing heavily with our loses.

A Good Debt Consolidation Opportunity

There are ways to overcome your debt situation that our economy has made the majority of us step back and take a hard look at. A good debt consolidation loan such as the ones being offered at Fastdebtfreedomnow.com is an valuable option, to assist with cutting your debt up to 50% and lowering your monthly payments by a huge amount.

Taking advantage of a debt consolidation opportunity is a much better way to go, filing for bankruptcy isn’t always the best route, which can ruin your credit ratings for many a year. With home ownership and credit checks not a requirement, it seems a realistic way to go for most of us who are struggling with over whelming debt issues.

Wow Game Cards

My teen aged nephew is really into play games online. His favorite right now is World Warcraft. This game is so popular that they state that over 11 million people are now subscribers to this popular game and turn to Buymmoaccounts.com for all their gaming  and their wow game card needs.

Last time I visited with them he showed me this ever growing game, it is a pretty cool concept, with non stop action and excitement. He is pretty good at it and it keeps him off the streets, so it’s all good for $29.99 a month.

Joke of the Year

This joke was nominated for best joke of the year.

A Russian arrives in New York City as a new immigrant to the United States . He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, “Thank you Mr. American for letting me into this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and a free education!”

The passerby says, “You are mistaken, I am a Mexican.”

The man goes on and encounters another passerby. “Thank you for having such a beautiful country here America .” The person says, “I not American, I Vietnamese.”

The new arrival walks farther, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand, and says, “Thank you for wonderful America !” That person puts up his hand and says, “I am from Middle East .. I am not American.”

He finally sees a nice lady and asks, “Are you an American?” She says, “No, I am from Africa .”
Puzzled, he asks her, “Where are all the Americans?”;

The African lady checks her watch and says, “Probably at work.”

Gold Made Easy

It can be a challenge trying to keep up with all that is going on with the economy crisis that we are experiencing, what with bail outs, stock market fluctuations, factory closings, layoffs, and the value of a dollar going up and down, here there and every where. I think we are all on a overload at this point, so this nice spring weather should help ease the pain, even if it’s just a little bit, we all need and deserve a break at this point.

Gold is something that has always been a good investment and still is today, along with other precious metals. Gold has always been considered and used as a safe haven investment, which can bring a much desired peace of mind with an unstable market, much like the one we are experiencing now and will be for some time to come. Right now owning gold is a beneficial thing more than ever due to the markets and currency fluctuations. And I’ve found a great website that addresses the issue at Goldmadeeasy.com/shop. Their site has a ton of beneficial information that is kept current and update with the latest in the gold market. Something that you might want to check out at your leisure.

Bushari Group Real Estate

The Boston area is one of my favorite places up north. I have several relatives that live there and I have visited them many times in my youth and would like to go again some time, it has been way too long since I took a trip up that a way. There is something about Boston that just gives me goose bumps, so much history was made there and they place has so much to offer all year round.

One of my distant cousins just purchased one of the really nice Boston Luxury Lofts that Boston is so well known for. He did his homework with the Real Estate in Boston and got himself a very nice deal and sent this pictures via email to prove it. The Boston Real Estate market is full of wonderful homes and deals are there to be had with the economy in such a mess, it is a buyer’s market, no doubt about that.

He was originally looking at the Boston Condos that are going for so such low prices these days, and then discovered Bushari Group Real Estate which assisted with his Boston Luxury Real Estate search, in which landed him in one of the nicest Boston Lofts that was on the market for the taking, as he did and his now proud of and one that I am eager to see when I do get a chance to visit up north again.

Bailouts Explained

Why are bank bailouts required? Here is a simple explanation…
Heidi is the owner of a local bar.

In order to increase sales, she decides to allow her loyal customers – most of whom are unemployed alcoholics – to drink now but pay later. She keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers loans). Word gets around and increasing numbers of customers flood into Heidi’s bar.

Taking advantage of her customers’ freedom from immediate payment constraints, Heidi increases her prices for wine and beer, the most-consumed beverages. Her sales volume increases massively.

A young and dynamic customer service consultant at the local bank recognizes these customer debts as valuable future assets and increases Heidi’s borrowing limit. He sees no reason for undue concern since he has the debts of the alcoholics as collateral.

At the bank’s corporate headquarters, expert bankers transform these customer assets into DRINKBONDS, ALKBONDS and PUKEBONDS and then further into derivatives. These securities then are traded on markets worldwide. No one really understands what these are and how the securities are guaranteed. Nevertheless, as their prices continually climb, the “securities” become top-selling items.

One day, although the prices still are climbing, a risk manager of the bank — subsequently fired because of his negativity — decides that the time has come to demand payment of the debts incurred by the drinkers at Heidi’s bar. However, they cannot pay back the debts.

Heidi cannot fulfill her loan obligations and claims bankruptcy for her bar, retiring to her Swiss chalet, bought with the salary she paid herself from bank loan proceeds.

DRINKBOND and ALKBOND drop in price by 95%. PUKEBOND performs better, stabilizing in price after dropping by 80%.

The suppliers of Heidi’s bar, having granted her generous payment due dates and having invested in the securities, now have problems of their own. Her wine supplier claims bankruptcy and her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor.

The bank is saved by the government following dramatic round-the-clock consultations by leaders from the governing political parties. The funds required for this purpose are obtained by a tax levied on the non-drinkers.

You may think you just have read a joke. If so, why aren’t you laughing? Yes, sadly enough, the truth is that this is exactly what is going on with the banking bailouts. But, the truth actually is much, much worse, because the government functionaries engineering the bailouts are bought and paid for by the bankers … with your bailout money, of course.

Earth Hour

I can’t believe that I wasn’t tuned in with the rest of the world concerning “Earth Hour” which was held all across the world last night, March 28th between the hours of 8:30 and 9:30pm.

The first I had heard of it was on last night’s news, I have to say that I’m impressed that so many people all across the lands participated in something like this. Just wish I had known in advance, but I guess I can’t be on top of everything that goes on all the time.

Today’s Skate Boarding

Oh to be young and agile again. I am in pretty good shape for my age, what with all the hard labor that the farm demands from me each day, I do fairly well for my age, but I’m no spring chicken anymore to be sure.

Skateboarding has become such a popular sport these days, it takes a whole different breed from back in my day. The tricks and stunts that these young whipper snappers can do on these skateboards are simply amazing and I have to give them credit for their guts and their talent.

Skateboards are much more complicated and diverse then the ones that I grew up on. I was looking at the new Bacon skateboards online at warehouseskateboards.com and I’m impressed with how much they have advanced through the years with today’s technology. Makes me wish I was young once again and able to participate in this exciting sport that is all the rage these days.
