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!

Nubz Dental Treats

I have been a member of our local Costco for as long as I can remember. Every now and then I’ll go into town and take a trip to Costco and fill up with all kinds of goodies. They do have great prices if you don’t mind buying large items and items in bulk.  I always come out of there with a few hundred dollars less in my wallet, but I’m usually stocked up pretty well for my effort.

The dogs here really enjoy the  Nubz Dental Treats that they sell there, they even have coupons for these healthy dog treats in their monthly publications that I always take advantage of.  These treats are all natural, good for the teeth and there dog breath that can some times knock a buzzard of off a manure wagon!  I like that they are made in the U.S.A. and are made with real chickena and are even Gluten-free, which are both a big deal these days.

Meet The Brides

Ever since childhood I remember hearing tales and references made in regarding to the mail order Russian Brides, but I don’t know that it was still a common belief and practice in today’s world. My sister has been known to try and play match maker for me, she insists that I need a wife, or at least a live in companion, to help around the place, that is so very overwhelming for one person (that would be me) to deal with on a daily basis. So she continues to look around both on and off line for various ways for me to connect with other people, with a heavy emphasis on the women, and has forwarded the link to Loversplanet.com to look into the meeting of “available” Russian women.

Russian dating is seems is still alive and well and we have the Internet to thank for making the whole process an easier task and a whole new twist on the matter. It seems that there is millions of people in the U.K., Canada, Australia and the U S. that are meeting and marrying Russian women.  Russian woman are known for being good looking and have high family values already in place, and have a track record for success.

Shut up and drink your beer

This is a terrific recording by the old country singer Doye O’Dell from the late forties. I found the record, a while back at a flea market paid $1 for it and took it home because I liked the funny title, then I went to YouTube.com and found it there!  It’s a great tune, inspired by Irish music.

Customer Satisfaction Surveys

With money so tight, all the way around and across the board, as consumers we are all looking for ways to save money, while businesses are searching for ways to drum up business and bring our hard earned money into their bank accounts. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not dissing anyone running a business, just stating a hard fact.

It seems that customer satisfaction surveys are a growing way for companies to hear how they are doing as well as finding ways to bring their current customers coming back. I don’t mind taking these surveys if there is something in it for me, not just the promise of being entered into some sweepstakes that the odds are completely stacked against me winning anything at all.

There are a few places that if you complete one of their customer satisfaction surveys that you will be given a code to write some where on your receipt so that you will receive some type of discount on your next purchase, those are surveys that I have no problem taking the time to complete. I always don’t mind a quick survey that only takes a few moments online since I’m on a computer some where most of the day. The kinds that I really refuse to complete are the kinds that come in the mail, no time for that and I don’t appreciate them junking up my mailbox with such trivial concerns.

North Carolina Furniture

One of the things that I am determined to keep around this place is the north carolina furniture that my mother worked so hard to find and to purchase. Back in the day when there wasn’t the Internet to find and order items from, a person would have to travel a long way to find some things that you just could find locally.

My parents took several trips down to North Carolina to pick out the perfect living room furniture for mother to decorate this old house with. At least it wasn’t too long of a drive for them to handle and sometimes that would incorporate a visit with some distant relatives that lived down around that area as well.

Mother was looking forward to taking another trip down south to pick up some new furniture for the dining before they both passed on. One day I’ll get around to replacing the very old and well used and worn furniture in there myself. But right now I have other things to deal with and besides that old dining room table holds a lot of memories that I’m just not ready to part with.

Nady-HM-10U Headset Mic

With the Nady HM-10U being marked down to such a decent price, as well as getting the headset without having to pay for shipping and handling, just makes sense to go ahead order it. My nephew has his 13th birthday coming up next month and I think, no I know, that he would be thrilled with this gift idea that I have managed to come up without having to do much asking around and/or digging.

I hope the look on his face when he opens this gift, will be an exciting one. Hopefully it will be a Kodak moment that could possibly be captured by someone with all the cell phones and iPads, that everyone has on their person most of the time.

The Old Swimming Hole

I haven’t been swimming in a few years and I’m about fed up with that. I just remembered that there is an old swimming hole that we used to go to, not too far from here, that is sounding real good to me about now. So far his summer has been a real killer, with the temperatures in the 90’s and into the 100’s each and every day, over and over and over and it is only the month of May. So I’m planning on taking a trip there tomorrow to see if it is still there and if there is any water in it since we haven’t had much rain this year. It could very well be all dried up. And if there is any water in it, it will most likely be warm, but that is O.K anything would be better that what I’ve been dealing with this season.

Anything Else Is Just Your Ordinary Grille

I’ve decided that this year I will do what I can in order to fix up my 2002 Dodge Ram pick up that has been neglected these past couple of years since having to take over here at the homestead. I don’t think I’ll be able to afford a new pick up any time soon, the prices that I’m seeing and hearing on new pick ups are just down right outrageous. I mean a person could buy a house for that kind of money for goodness sake.

I don’t have a lot of money to throw around but the time has come that I do need to work on and do something for myself so I really want to do a few things for “Ol’ Betsy” as she is my one and only and I want to keep her around for a long time to come.

Having the Internet makes looking around, researching and comparing what is out there. I’ve found an awesome site, carid.com, that is an online automotive accessory superstore. They have been in the custom and OEM accessory business since 2003 and they have a great selection with really decent prices for all types of accessories for all types of vehicles. I’ve got my eye on a sweet looking billet truck grill that will be first on the list when I start purchasing the items that I want and need in the next couple of months. When I’m done I’ll make sure to take a picture and download it here for the world to see.

Good Quality Tarps

I could have sworn that there were plenty of tarps in the back shed that I was counting on using in a month or so, but I’ve looked time and time again and they are no where in sight, so I’m counting on using the Internet to find the best deals possible on a few good quality canvas tarps. I can’t stand those cheap cheesy looking blue tarps that we all see in a lot of folks drive ways and yards, they just stand out like a sore thumb, when I really think they should be blending in instead of being an eye sore to their neighbors.

Running this farm along with the house and all, it is always good to have plenty of tarps on hand. My father always bought good quality tarps, he refused to buy them from Home Depot or Walmart because he said they were not worth their salt in weight and so I would like to continue with his ways and wishes as much as I can. So I am going to take advantage of some of the promotions that are out there for online shoppers like myself and see what I can come up with, soon like.
