Newly Uncluttered and Unclogged Laptops

My days seem to get cluttered with more and more to do every second that goes by lately. I already have so much to do considering I have a farm to run, so I have been on the search for different ways to declutter things. One thing that is in desperate need to get uncluttered and unclogged, is my computer and my two laptops I have in the house.

We use these computers for so many things, not only for searching the net, or social networking, or playing games, but to also keep all of our personal and business information. Our computers over the years have gotten entirely to slow, and was ridiculous how slow they had all gotten since we had purchased them.

One night I actually had a few spare moments, and I took full advantage to find a solution to this problem we had with these computers. It didn’t take long at all for me to find a great and affordable way to do this in such a easy way. Click on clean up computer and you will be amazed at how easy it really is to unclutter and unclog your computer systems.

Mother’s Dining Room Table

The Dining Table that has been standing and serving the many generations of this family, for so many decades, is something that I would never dream of taking out of this old house. My father had this table made for my mother for one of their earlier wedding anniversaries, and my mother treasured this wonderful piece of furniture that was made with dedication and love.

The chairs are another matter, my father never ventured to get the many needed chairs that were needed, as the family started growing every time he turned around. I believe that they picked the chairs up at a lawn sale, they go very well with the table, don’t get me wrong, but it really isn’t what a would call a “good marriage” and I’d like to find some, one day that will look and feel much better along the way.

Dining Room Tables are abundant on the Internet, as I have recently found while searching online for the chairs that I am looking for. I have seen some very nice Dining Tables, and at some very reasonable prices, good thing that I don’t have to make a decision on purchasing a new Dining Table, finding the chairs is challenging enough, but the thrill of the hunt can be entertaining as well as educational!

Ordered the Wine Barrel Spigots Online

I was hoping to find the spigots that I needed for the wine barrels that we use out back somewhere in town, since I bought the darn things in town many years ago. Alas, that turned into a wild goose chase and I finally decided to go online and find the right ones. I should have just done that from the get go.

Sometimes trying to support local businesses is not worth all the extra time and gas to find what you need. Since it costs me at least $6 in gas to go to town and back, I can afford to pay shipping and handling up to $6 for anything I buy online and come out ahead. My new wine barrel spigots should be here by Monday, at the latest.

Nemo Tents and Sleep Systems

For many years, more than I wish to confess to, I have been wanting to go out with some friends and go hiking, camping and fishing like the good ol’ days, but had just been too tied down with work and spending time with loved ones. This year I felt was a brand new year, and was a perfect time for me to get out there and so something I had always wanted to do.

Like I said before I had been wanting to go camping for a long while, and I found myself scavenging my garage for supplies and camping gear I needed to go. I found so many things I used to use while camping, but couldn’t find my tent I used to use. While searching for it, I realized my tent is very out of date and probably needs an upgrade even if I did come across it.

I took a night to sit in the office and just search around the net for some good deals on tents. I came across a nemo tent sale, and had found great deals on all types of tents, but the one that stood out to me the most was a 3 season tent, something I’ve always wanted to own. I ordered it right away and had it shipped to my home, and in no time at all I was camping out by the lake the following weekend. I am so grateful to have found such a sturdy tent to spend many of nights in while by the camp fire enjoying nature.

Playing A Game or Two

I’ve been know to spend some time on the PC playing games, only the free ones though. Sometimes it is nice to just kick back and relax by yourself and play a game or two, when time permits. At Playitontheweb.com they offer over 8000 free online flash games that I check out and play once in a while and think enough of their selection to share their information here.

One that I just finished playing and enjoyed was their free star trek flash game, I’ve always been a fan of the hit show and the following box office hits of the movies of Star Trek and I like seeing the variety of games that they come out with it as the theme, most are really shameful, but I like their version and urge anyone to give it a try.

The Need for Ink

I know that everybody that owns a computer with a printer at some point needs some type of new printer ink cartridges, even people in the U.K (of course, we all know that they do) according to the web-site of 999inks.co.uk which is where I somehow stumbled and fell across last night.It was interesting to see all their products that they have to offer, most of the brands I have heard of, but there was a few that I did not recognize so I’m under the impression that they are native to the U.K. like under the laser tone category I see that they have Brother, HP, Epson, Lexmark and then they have what they call “Tally Toner”, I couldn’t resist I had to take a look and see what it was all about. I don’t know what I expected to find really, it was just a toner, it looked like any other toner, but I was confused about what they mean when saying VAT and Free Delivery Included, I wonder what VAT is. I’ll have to make a point of finding out about that one.

Then I got the bright idea to see if I could order from them, being as I am not in the U.K., but of course in the good old U.S. of A. I have no idea what the rate of exchange would be for the money issue, but I was thinking that maybe after placing the order and all that it would give you a way to change the monies over, but I didn’t get that far. While plugging in my name, address and all that to set up an account with this company, it wouldn’t let me put in the United States as the country, only the United Kingdom was listed and no way to change it, so I guess that answered my question about ordering out of there. Too bad because I was really interested in seeing how they handled it, but that is O.K., it really was interesting to see their selections of ink cartridges and office supplies, they do sell a lot more than just inkjets. They have all the usual home and office supplies and I looked under the category of home and office supplies when I see that they have something called a pritt stick, my curiosity got the better of me and I had to see what that was, come to find out it is a glue stick!

All in all it was an interesting experience that I’m glad that I took the time to do and find out about, that is one thing about the Internet, you always have an opportunity to learn from it.

Sisters

I love that fact that I am so close with my sisters, and it seems the older we get the closer we become and I realize how truly blessed I am to have them in my life, and my brothers also, of course. My sisters and I talk on the phone only on occasion, we mainly converse via email and recently using the Instant Messaging, at night when we are most likely all to be on-line. Isn’t it so great how Email has made it possible for so many people to keep in touch, who otherwise never would have taken the time or trouble in an effort to communicate the way we do now with the Internet and all.

My one sister and I have been talking about Facial Plastic Surgery over the past several years and I think that she is getting close to taking the plunge, as she has been talking about it more and more between us all lately. She has sent me an email recently about a Minnesota cosmetic surgery company that she has been communicating with online for some time now about a few surgical options. She wants to start with what she calls a “simple little brow lift” which is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia, and see how that goes before doing any other kind that they are qualified for at their practice.

A friend recommended this place and my sister has apparently spent a good amount of time communicating with them online and on the phone, she says that they are very nice and has been treated well. She tells me that she has made an appointment for a in person consultation, but not until late July, where she will finally meet their staff and hopefully make her decision to do it or not.

I’m pretty confident that she will have the procedure done. I hope that she does well with it and will be happy with the result. She is a braver women than I at this point and time.

Website Designed for My Sister

I have been exploring the possibility of designing a website for my sister to have and use, so of course I have turned to the Internet for assistance. I remembered my brother telling me about a web-site of Hosterio.com which he tells me is an affordable way to have a great web-site with 20 MB of space, a free on-line site builder, free pop mail I.D.s, free sub domains, a free shopping cart, front page extension, a FTP user account and a cpanel.

What is cool is that I actually understand most of it now since I have started learning about this process.They have expert web designers available to assist you with your Website Design, whether is be for personal or business use and have several packages from which to choose from according to your individual needs and unique characteristics. I have looked at several web hosting sites and have learned what to look for when looking for a web host and I put what I learned to the test when researching this site and I think that it will do just fine for what her needs are. No need for her to spend her hard earned money when I can do the same and/or better for nothing.

Magnetic Name Badges

The word at my sister’s work is that they are ordering a magnetic name badge for everyone to wear and folks aren’t all that thrilled with the idea. It will be helpful for their customers/clients but a drag for them to have to keep remembering to wear them and not losing them. Unfortunately you gotta do what you gotta do these days to keep the boss man happy. They way I look at it, it certainly could be a lot worse, they could be receiving pink slips and jobs aren’t easy to come by these days.
