A Secure Feeling

One thing that bothers me is the fact that my kids get home from school before I get home from work. While it’s true that we live in a pretty good neighborhood, you never know what could happen. A few weeks ago there was a break-in down the street and it honestly scared me. I can’t help but wonder what if my kids were home when a break-in occurred.

I decided to take action right away. I started to do some research online into the area of Home Security Systems. I found a site called homesecurityteam.com that had the answers I was looking for. I was glad to find that there are experts in the field of Home Security that can help you find the best ways to secure your home. They are a reputable company with many years of experience in the field.

In the end, I decided that protecting my family was important. I wanted to be sure that my children would be safe in case I’m not home. I was fortunate to be able to purchase an ADT Security System that was easy to use and quickly installed. Now I feel so much better knowing that I have done all I could to keep my family from harm.

Fun for the kids

One thing that my wife and I agree on is the fact that we love our children. We are always looking for new ways to make them happy. Whenever they do things well, such as a school project or test, we like to reward them. Sometimes this is a special meal or a movie. Other times, we get them their favorite toys. When we buy toys, we usually do it online.

There are many advantages to buying toys online. They are usually cheaper than a toy store and many times can be delivered free. You can also expect to find a variety of toys such as Action Figures. Our kids love them and there are always new ones coming out. Another area to find excellent deals is in the Classic Toys department. My wife and I love buying these toys as it reminds us of the toys we used to own. There is nothing like a reminder from the past to make us open our wallets!

As much as we like to buy our favorite toys, the children are usually taken with the latest Kids Electronic Toys. They are always attracted by the flashing lights and noises that they make. Some of these toys are really fun to play with and I wish we had them when I was young. All in all, whatever kind of toys we buy; the kids always appreciate them and spend hours playing.

Cell Phone Woes!

The other day I noticed something flying off my car as I turned a corner. It turns out that it was my cell phone. I turned around and retrieved the phone from the street. The bad part was that the entire screen was shattered. I knew I was in for a lot of wasted time trying to get it fixed. I went to the Verizon store and wanted a replacement. They informed me that I would have to call in for one and send in the broken phone as well.

I had insurance on the phone, but it still cost me $50 dollars to replace it. I sent it in and I must say that I was happy to receive my new phone in a couple of days. I went back to the store and had them move all my settings from my old phone to the new. I was glad they were able to and now I am back where I started except for the fact that I am out fifty bucks!

Solving the problem

One thing that everyone knows about me is that I am a notorious printer hater. Every time I go to use a printer it seems to run out of ink. I get so angry that some people think I might throw the printer out the window, as I almost did more than once. After much frustration, I finally caught on to a site that has made my life so much easier. The site is called castleink.com and I’m so glad I found it!

I have a HP printer that I use all the time. I really like the printer as it works very well. It’s fast and prints good color. Now that I have found out the best way to buy HP ink cartridges, I have no problem keeping a supply of ink on hand for when it’s needed. The best part is that I never even have to leave the house. I can order online and receive free shipping with a big order.

I hope that everyone who reads this will take advantage of this great service. If you find yourself in need of an HP ink cartridge, you can order it online and rest assured that you will have it when you need it. I promise you that it will make your life a lot simpler and you will never regret it!

Google Earth Rules!

One of my favorite websites is Google Earth. I really like having the ability to travel to almost anywhere on the planet right from my living room. I was checking out how the city of Rome looks, and also went to Naples as well. I really like the street level feature that it has. Seeing how things really look in another country is so cool!

I also like to check out my house as well. I have been able to scout out the surrounding area and found some shortcuts I may take when riding my bike. I also found a patch of woods that I may check out as well. I am always drawn to this site for some reason, I don’t know why, but I am!

Goodness it’s cold

Man is it ever cold up here on this mountain.  It’s even too cold to go skiing if you ask me.  I was going to go home for the weekend but decided against it because I was afraid the weather would turn bad up here like they were saying it might and then I would have to drive back up here in lousy weather.  Today is a good day to just stay inside, play my Nintendo Wii and chill out inside instead of freeze your rear end off chilling to the bone outside.  Besides, I can get a lot of exercise playing my Nintendo Wii.  That’s one of the things I love about it.  It gets you up off of the couch and makes you move.  Way cool game system!!!

Slipped and fell and broke my cell phone

Up here, there’s the chance of snow and or ice somewhere.  Well I was in a hurry to get to class, slipped and busted my a$$.  Of course I landed on my back side and rolled over on the side that had my cell phone on it without thinking.  My cell phone fell out of the case and when I got up, I stepped on it and broke the darn thing.  Now I have to go to Verizon and get another one.

I think I have the insurance that will give me a new phone.  I hope I do anyway because if I don’t, then every bit of the good tips I got the other night will go to getting a new phone.  Such is my luck!!!!
