Great Site for Gadgets and More

Like I have told you before, I love gadgets. The only problem is I hate to buy them when they first come out because that’s usually when they have all the ‘bugs’ in them. Then you’ve spent your hard, very hard sometimes, but hard earned money on a dud. I work to hard to buy a dud, know what I mean? I like to find reviews of new products so I have a little better idea that they’re what they say they are. You know, they do what they’re supposed to do and are worth going out and buying it.

I came across this web site that gives you a guide on the Hottest Products. It’s called PLR Membership Sites and even though you have to be a member, it’s worth it to get an accurate product review. There are sites on just about everything from A to Z. Some that caught my eye were Alternative & Renewable energy, Customer Service Software, Dating on the Internet, Foreign Languages, and even Grants Directory.

A secure feeling

Anybody who knows me knows that one of the most important things to me is my family. I feel obligated to make sure they always come first in my life and are protected from any harm. That’s why I decided to get insurance. I want to be certain that if anything happens to me they will be able to go on without having to worry about financial issues.

I looked over the various possibilities and decided to purchase whole life insurance. This type of insurance will allow me to be covered for the remainder of my lifetime. I am also glad to know that the policy will build up a cash value over time that can be withdrawn if an emergency arises. I think it was a wise decision.

The best part about purchasing insurance is that it is easy to do. In most instances, you can get on the internet and receive an online quote. When you think about it, the cost of insurance is fairly cheap if you understand the security it provides. Knowing my loved ones are taken care of even if I’m not around allows me to sleep well at night. That’s a feeling that can’t be beat!

Battery Blues

One item that was recently in the news was all about button batteries. This type of battery is round and looks similar to a penny or other small coins. These batteries can be found in a number of products such as toys and cell phones. The problem is that they can be very dangerous to children.

Everyone knows that kids can get into everything. They also like to put things in their mouths. The problem is that these batteries can be a choking hazard to kids. They also pose a serious threat to your health if swallowed. Acids in the battery can become caustic and actually burn a hole right through your body. Notify authorities immediately if you suspect someone has swallowed a battery!

You’re Choice

One of my favorite things to do is to keep track of all the cars that are available. I love cars and trucks and like to keep tabs on the best ones. I have been doing some research into this area and have a few cars and trucks I’d like to mention. The first one is the cadillac escalade hybrid. This is a beautiful car that has a lot to offer. Not only is the gas mileage great, but it is a well built hybrid. Anyone who has concerns about the environment would be well satisfied with this vehicle. I like its looks and I know that the cadillac quality is contained therein.

The next vehicle that I would like to mention is one of my old favorites. It’s the hummer h3t and the new model is coming out this year. While in many ways it is steeped with the same old qualities we have come to expect, there are some new changes. This year’s model will have the capability to run on an up to 85 percent blend of ethanol. They also have some new color schemes to please the eye. All in all, it’s the same old standard but with a few improvements.

Whenever I want to have a nice vehicle for getting some work done, I turn to the gmc canyon. With its v8 power, it has all the pulling power I need to carry the loads I have. It is fairly fuel efficient and comes with many standard options. It is also one of the safest vehicles on the road as it has received the five-star crash tests scores. It is a likeable little truck that will grow on you over time.

The last thing I want to say is that all of these vehicles are very nice. You just have to determine what your needs are going to be. You can always go online in order to find out more info when necessary. Whatever one you choose, I am confident you will come away feeling good about your choice.

Houses and Homes

When it comes to a house, there are many important parts. Of course we think of walls and a roof and doors and windows. There are some parts to a house that are often overlooked. One thing that is really important is your mail box. Even though this item is not always technically part of your house, its one thing that makes your house a home.

We started trying to improve our home by doing some remodeling and other repairs. The one thing that we were missing was that personal touch that would make our house stand out from the rest. I began looking at mail boxes as a way to add a touch of class to our home. I thought it would be a great way to show our character.

I asked the opinion of everyone in the house. The wife and kids all chipped in and made suggestions as to the type of mailbox we should have. It was fun having everyone interested in our new little project. After much debate, we finally decided which one would fit our home the best. Now that our new box is installed, it’s nice to see it when I pull into the driveway. It’s worked out very well for us and we are all proud of the way it looks. It’s funny how a little thing can make a house a home!

Tiles

Whenever I get the chance, I like to work around the house. I am always looking for new tasks to do so that I can keep busy while improving my home. An excellent opportunity came up recently when my wife suggested that I try to install tiles on the bathroom floor. Our old floor was that cheap laminate that was getting pretty ratty looking. I thought this would be a great job to take on.

The first thing we had to decide was what type of bathroom tiles we wanted. I was lucky to find a site on the internet that was really neat. The site is called glasstilestore.com and it has a nice selection of tiles to choose from. I never knew there were so many types of tile. I even found subway tiles on the site. I knew it would take some time to figure out what tiles we wanted.

Another thing I liked about the site was the fact that we were able to learn all about the advantages of using tile in our home. That certainly made our decision to install tile much easier. I am eager to get started on the project and hope that we will soon have a beautiful new bathroom floor. I know my wife and kids will enjoy it as well.

Food safety

There has been some debate lately over whether or not farmers should need licenses to sell small amounts of food. Vendors at farmers markets are pushing for deregulating strict laws that put an unfair burden on them they say. Selling a few of mom’s apple pies takes a lot of government red tape that makes it almost impossible for mom to make a few extra dollars.

Those in the food safety industry are saying that controls need to remain in place. They say food borne illnesses are a threat to the public and not having the ability to inspect where food is produced will hamper their ability to maintain public safety. Small food processors also say that they could lose thousands in sells to those who don’t have to pay for inspections.

3D TV

One thing we have all been hearing about lately is the new 3D technology that has been spouted as the latest craze. Before we get too excited about it though, we need to look at some of its drawbacks. The first major drawback is the money that will be needed to purchase the new TV that is required. Our old TVs won’t be able to work with the new technology and will have to be replaced.

Another drawback will be the necessity of wearing 3D goggles to view the shows produced. That may be uncomfortable as well as a turnoff. There are still more problems with the technology that will occur. In order to redo the thousands of shows for 3D will be problematic for studios as the process to update the shows is difficult and time consuming. My opinion is that this is a technology that will not catch on anytime soon!

A Surprise

I was reading an article today about women drivers. The article stated that contrary to popular belief, most women are better drivers than men. I was quite surprised by this statement. I have spent most of my life believing the opposite. After living through many of my own experiences, I thought that girls were bad drivers. Surprisingly, according to the numbers women are safer drivers than men.

I was also unaware that in many cases, car insurance for women is cheaper. There are companies that actually seek out women drivers in order to get the lowest rates. I always say that the numbers don’t lie and I guess I’ll have to change my opinion. There are also other ways for to obtain cheap car insurance for women. By taking advantage of discounts and enrolling in driver education courses, women can get insurance that is very affordable.

I guess the battle between the sexes will go on for awhile longer, but I am certainly disheartened to find that men are on the bottom end of this deal. I will be glad to know that at least my wife will be able to afford the coverage she needs while driving around. I guess the insurance companies haven’t seen her driving yet!

Christmas party

I went to a Christmas party last night with my old friends here. It was amazing. I met a really cool chick, but unfortunately we wont see each other again as she is going out of the country to study in the UK. That is too bad. I haven’t met a chick that cool in a long time. We have decided to keep in touch though, through Facebook and email. That way whenever she does come back, we can get together and hang out.

The guys hadn’t changed that much over the last few months. Only one of them had anything different going on in his life. He got engaged and will be getting married next summer. He asked me to stand up for him in the wedding and of course I said yes. I wasn’t very surprised about that, since him and his girl have been together forever. They were high school sweet hearts and I doubt they will  ever change. I wish them the best of luck !

Anyway, I have to go and finish up the last minute shopping that needs to be done. I only have a few more things to buy, and mom has asked me to pick up a couple of things for her as well. I don’t want to be doing this on Christmas eve, because the stores are already packed and by then they will be a mad house. So, I will catch you on the flip side. Have a Great Holiday!
