There was another break-in in the neighborhood over the weekend. I don’t know the family all that well and thank goodness no one was at home when it happened. That is one of the many scary aspects of having someone break into your home, you can always get more stuff, and hopefully you are insured for your stuff, but if you were to be hurt or worse killed that is something that just can’t be replaced.

It is a “sign of the times” is what everyone keeps saying, since the economy tanked out many years ago, folks are getting more desperate as the days go by for money and the amount of break ins done by people who have little else to fall back onto is increasing like crazy. With all of these break ins more folks are having come and install security systems in their homes, properties and businesses to try and prevent these tragedies from happening and if it does happen they might have a better chance of catching the crook and bringing them to justice and maybe even possibly get their stuff back. There have been a lot of new yard signs being placed in people’s front yards announcing that they have an adt security system in place, which is supposed to be a deterrent to break ins in itself.

I’m glad to know that people all over the world are doing wonderful things in a huge effort to save our Mother Earth. Being “green” is certainly the way to be these days and rightfully so, says I. I have always done all that I can possibly do to recycle at home and at work. When I worked for a major insurance company I started and coordinated a recycling program that I hope is still be continued today even though I haven’t worked there for over a decade. It gave me something to sink my teeth into and it was a positive energy that I put to good use and was proud of the way it all turned out.

I’m now learning about e-waste recycling, which I am beginning to think is very interesting. Veolia Environmental Services, a waste management and industrial services which is located in Australia and their web site, Veoliaes.com.au, is one that I stumbled on the other night while looking up some information concerning waste management in Astralia.

I’m thinking on suggesting that the company that I work for now look into a program for their e-waste recycling items that are currently just getting tossed into the trash, thus landing in our precious land fills. I think I’m up for the challenge, it worked well with the last office, years back, so it only makes sense to try again.

I have stumbled onto an interesting concept today called video classifieds, which allows you to attach a video to your ad, I thought that was pretty cool. The web-site I was browsing around at is listasaurus.com and it has quite a lot to offer if you take the time to check it all out. What caught my attention was on their home page it states: “Get Paid To List Your Ads and that certain ad categories are eligible for cash rewards-we pay you for listing with us!” And I love the name of the company Listasaurus of which the definition is: 1. A dinosaur that loves to collect things and list them on-line. 2. Any dino who keeps his community from being extinct by supporting local merchants and individuals. Sounds interesting and cute doesn’t it.I cornered and showed a friend the site and he asked me to email the link to his email so that he could get a better look at it, he loves these types of sites, he is always buying and selling things on eBay and a few others too. He liked the idea of being able to attach a video to an item being listed, it would be a very useful tool indeed.

They are advertising that auctions are coming soon, that is something that I have never participated in in real life or online, but I’d like to try sometime either way. So I’ll keep checking back and see when they get that up and running and see what that is all about.

I’m so glad to that Joe, once again is offering applications for assistance for people that are struggling to keep their homes heated and warm with oil. You can go to Citizensenergy.com and found all the information necessary.
