Fix and Repair

Doesn’t anyone, anywhere, have some good news to share? I have to wonder this since every single person that I speak with has such sad and depressing stories to tell. The need for money has driven people into such desperate times and so many people are finding themselves in need of some type of credit repair due to the economy crisis. The trickle down effect has been devastating and lives are being destroyed left and right with credit becoming a “hot topic” indeed.

If something doesn’t break soon, and it certainly doesn’t sound good at this point, people are really going to be upset and even more depressed and stressed out and we will really be in a pickle. one that will leave a bad taste in every one’s mouth. I know of so many folks who are looking for ways to repair credit issues and have gone online to find relief. There are opportunities out there to fix credit, which is such an important aspect of today’s needs and lifestyles and ways to consolidate debts as well on the Internet.

I’d love to hear a good story, if one would care to share it here, it would be graciously received.

Cement Trivia

I enjoy learning new things all of the time. I guess you could say I’m a trivia buff. I’ve just got a curiosity that can’t be satisfied! So I do a lot of browsing on the Internet, to satisfy my curiosity! Today I was learning about Ordinary Portland Cement. I did not know that there were five different types of Portland Cement. I also did not know that cement is different from mortar or concrete – I thought they were just different words for the same product!

So today I learned that cement is one of the ingredients used to make mortar and concrete, but is NOT mortar OR concrete! And I learned that different types of cement are used for different purposes. Some types harden quicker than others, some can be buried and some can’t be buried. Cement really is a remarkable product!

Organizing and Event Management

Advertising has always been and always will be an issue, you need to get the word out about what you have to offer in order for people to know to come to you for your goods or services. We all know how the Internet has made this issue a much easier task to take on in so many ways. And it’s only getting better and better these days.

I’ve found an interesting site at Eventish dot com that I wanted to spread the word around about here. This is a unique site that assists in the marketing of various events. This is where companies, organizations and individuals go to to make their fundraising, workshops, meetings, classes or even birthdays, anniversaries, and reunions known to others and where you can go to get tickets and other pertinent info as well.

With the population ever growing and so much going on around us we can all use something like Eventish to make things like this an easier process. If you are interested and have a moment to check this site out to see all that they have to offer I would urge you to take a bit of time and see if it is something that you can use for yourself for some type of event that you are trying to promote or if you are trying to find out information about an event that is all ready scheduled. I think that you will find it a most useful and handy tool to have bookmarked.

Recycled Bottleneck Guitar Slides

This bottleneck guitar slide is really made from an actual wine bottle. Whenever I discover a product and/or service that is offering something that is recycled or any of the other various ways to help keep our earth as safe as possible, I get a bit excited and try to spend my hard earned money that I earn on this piece of dirt that God has allowed me to utilize to survive.

Looks like I’ll be buying one of these babies here real soon. The farm is going to get real busy here real soon. Spring is my favorite of the four seasons, but it is a lot of work to get everything around here done and ready for the hot summer months.

Protecting Mother’s Wedding Dress

I’m thinking of digging out my mother’s wedding dress, that has been in a chest, at the foot of the bed, in one of the upstairs bedrooms and giving it to my sister to have and to hold. While I am in there I am going to look for platinum wedding rings that I was told were in there as well. We have already agreed that I will keep these rings, at least for now. They will be placed in mother’s jewelry box, along with a few other key pieces of jewelery that we want to keep in the family.

But before I do all of that I want to look at some different types of garment bags, so that I can give the dress to her fully protected, safe and secure.

I never knew that there was so many different types of these protective products to choose from but I think I found the perfect one, made specifically made for a wedding dress such as this one is and have ordered it this afternoon and am guaranteed same day shipping, so it should arrive promptly for me to turn over to her the next time she visits me and the farm.

Web Hosting Options

I have learned so much about computers and all that the Internet has to offer us all these past couple of years since taking over the house and the farm. I don’t know what I would have done without my handy dandy laptop, gone completely insane I would imagine. With not much extra time on my hands most days, my social life is a joke and I don’t get much company, besides family, so the computer has become my best friend and I have still so much to learn about my new best friend.

I have been looking into switching to a new web hosting provider. There are several out there that have been doing their part in the “green movement” that has become so popular with everyone these days and I would like to do what I can to help as well. So I found a good web hosting reviews and rating site that lists the top ten Green Web Hosting providers that has helped me sort them all out to find the right match for me and my needs and wants. GreenGeeks advertises that it is 300% Green Hosting, that is a pretty high percentage, wouldn’t you say.

I’ll take my time and see what I can figure out the next couple of days.

Thank God For Pam

I really don’t know what I’d do with out my Pam cooking spray. I used it every single time I start to cook something and I can’t imaging cooking without it. I love that it comes in so many varieties.

Tooth Paste

I’m getting to the age where my teeth are getting sensitive and I’ve had to start buying the type of toothpaste for folks like me that don’t like pain. I have to be careful with hot things, sweet things and cold things that I try and place in my mouth which is a real drag. I’m glad that they (the toothpaste industry) have something that helps prevent such agony.

The Perfect Pens

It just seems to me that if you are going to spend money to advertise your business that you would give a little thought into making the decisions on what you want to say about you and your business. There are so many marketing options out there in today’s highly competitive business world.

One concept that has been around for ever is giving away pens that have your company’s information on them. I have so many pens and pencils here that my parents collected over the years that they lived here on the farm. They were here for a very long while and got to the town grow throughout the years, so it’s no wonder they accumulated so many writing utensils from all over the county. I have weeded out the real old crappy ones these past couple of years. It amazed me to find so many that didn’t work or were of very poor quality that it made writing with them a real chore.

Many of the ones that I seem to enjoy keeping and using are found online at http://www.penfactory.com/ at some very appealing discounted prices. If you want to give away decent pens I would encourage people to send a few more pennies and order the ones that are clearly a much better quality like the ones pictured below. But that is just my opinion.

Cheap Ink

Since I don’t the chance to go into town as often as I’d like to. I don’t want to go anywhere if I can help it. It’s a good thing that I can get a lot of what I need delivered right to my door by ordering items via the Internet. I don’t do a whole lot of printing here at the farm but just like anyone else, it seems that our inkjet cartridges are always running out and we are always looking for cheap ink to keep our printing needs in check.

I have found good deals at inkgrabber dot com and right now they are having two winter coupons for their online shoppers like myself. So if you are looking for good deals on just about any type of printer ink, inkgrabber dot com is a good place to check out and see if they have what you need and are looking for at a good cheap price. Word of mouth is still one of the best advertising after all, just passing it on.
