Claimed or not

The government has a long memory in many cases. You would be surprised how much information they have on the average citizen. This info is written down somewhere and it can come back to haunt you when it is brought to light. There are other times however when you can do well just by knowing the truth.

The truth is that many people have money owed to them by the government. Unclaimed tax refunds are one area where the government owes out a lot of bills. I believe that those who don’t always file their taxes should check out the situation and see if they are owed money. It could be a very good day for some.

A look at bulletin boards

The office I work in is very large. That has a down side as you might not see all the people you want to on a daily basis but it also has an upside. If you have a hobby that you like to share with others, you can always find someone who is interested in what you are doing. The problem is finding that person. That’s why we have installed enclosed bulletin boards in the break rooms of our office.

It’s nice to read all the different things that people put up. The enclosed cork bulletin boards are very nice as you can easily pin up a note about whatever you want. It might be a notice of someone’s birthday or a fishing trip that will be scheduled for the next weekend. Of course there are always a few comic strips about working in an office, but that is to be expected. A little humor never hurts anyone if it is in good taste.

The hallways of our office need to be a bit fancier. We have customers who come through there and we want the place to look nice. That’s why we use enclosed fabric bulletin boards in those areas. They are usually a bit more formal than the ones in the break room, but they serve an important service as well. The whole project is working well so far and we hope to have more good ideas like this.

Beware of scams

Every morning when I get to work, the first thing I do is check my emails. Sometimes I have as many as thirty or forty of them. It takes a little time but I start to get the idea of what is going on with the company. Of course I also get quite a bit of junk e-mails that I just delete. The problem can be telling apart the good ones from the bad.

Some e-mails are obviously junk, but on occasion a very well written e-mail can fool even the best of us into thinking that it’s real. This is how people who are up to no good take advantage of innocent victims. I just wanted to remind everyone to be careful of what you are doing when dealing with unknown sites. It can save you a lot of trouble in the end.

Concert Tickets

Post contributed by Leonard Phelps

My husband’s and my favorite band came to our neighboring city recently, and we were so excited to snag some tickets! The concert venue offered online ticketing, fortunately, since we heard that a lot of the people who showed up to purchase tickets were turned away. Evidently our favorite band is a lot of other people’s favorite band too, and a huge crowd gathered. I would have been so upset if I’d driven all the way in to town just to be turned away. Luckily, a few simple clicks delivered some tickets right to our email! I don’t know what I would have done otherwise. A while ago that wouldn’t have even been an option for us—until recently we didn’t have a home internet connection! Based on our location, which is very rural, we did not have many options for the service. Luckily my husband discovered hughesnet installation specialist in our area, and we were able to sign up. It’s made our life so much more convenient. It seems like such a small thing, but having access to the internet when you need it is huge!

Economic theory

President Obama has unveiled his new plan for the coming years. He has maintained that the need to serve the poor while taxing the rich is the right way to go. His latest plan includes tax hikes on the wealthy while keeping programs for the poor and those who need medical care going.

Many republicans have already opposed the plan calling it bad for the economy. They want tax cuts instead of tax hikes. Either way, the government still owes trillions of dollars to foreign countries. I guess we will have to see how this turns out.

Adoption

One thing that every American should consider doing is adopting a child.
There are thousands of children throughout the world that need a good home. While adoption is not for everyone, there are many people who have the time and money to help a child. It is just the right thing to do.

Our world depends on individuals doing the right thing. While a single individual cannot solve all the worlds’ problems, we can still make a difference by helping out where we can. Just think about what I am saying.

Old technologies made new

All across the United States, it seems that the economy is getting worse for many people. The services we are used to are beginning to be unaffordable for many people. Everybody is looking for ways to save money while keeping the things we want and need. One area that this can be easily done is by taking advantage of a technology called dsl. It is a service that provides internet service over the phone lines that are already installed in your home.

Typically, the average dsl service is cheaper than the high rates a cable company would charge you for using their service. The internet is a critical service for many these days and using dial up has come back into fashion. The rates are low and it is very reliable. There are a few companies that you can rely on to help you get what you want for less. One company is called copper.net and they can give you the internet service you need quickly and efficiently.

It used to be that only people who live in rural areas used dsl. That is no longer the case. The price of your internet service has now come into play and many people are taking advantage of the lower rates that dsl employs. Some say that dsl is to slow. I have found that this is not the case in most instances. New technologies are being employed everyday to speed things up for the average person. I believe that this technology should be looked into again. I am sure that you will be glad you did.
