			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I heard on the radio that YouTube isn&#8217;t even 5 years old yet. It will be in November though. It seems like it has been around for much longer than that. It certainly has made a major impact on millions of people. You can access such a variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging along with short original videos. And all of this is free, you just gotta love that.</p>
<p>Once I discovered all that you can experience on YouTube.com and started composing my &#8220;Favorites&#8221; list, it didn&#8217;t take long to get up to triple digits which can be time consuming and a good amount of them are stating that they aren&#8217;t available any longer, that really bites. But all in all YouTube.com is awesome and I can&#8217;t imagine computer life without it there, along for the ride.</p>
<p>I have a good friend Donna who moved over to the U.K. years ago. We keep in constant contact with emails, Face Book, IMing and cell phones, I&#8217;m so grateful for all of today&#8217;s technology that is making it easier to keep in touch with so many people in so many ways, it is so enriching all the way around.</p>
<p>Anyway Donna on occasion will send me a picture or a joke along with her emails, but she has never sent me a video before and we decided that it was time to try and attempt it. So she went onto YouTube.com and found this video featuring <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi3Mm12T89k">Digby Jones </a>and got it to me with the first try. It can be a bit overwhelming learning some things on the computer, especially when you are on your own and have no one close by to ask for help. She lost her husband over 5 years ago and is still on her own, but she is doing pretty well all things considered.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know that we all have to abide by rules, laws and regulations, but my goodness these can make for some dry reading. With that being said let me back track to why I am stating this. I have been looking around online to see if it would be in my best interest to switch from cable to satellite. I hear good things about <a href="http://www.directsattv.com/packages.html">direct satellite tv</a> from numerous people, I also understand that if I do sign up and tell them that one of their subscribers referred them to me that both of us can receive a nice chunk of change for the referral, and I like that offer.</p>
<p>At <a href="http://www.directsattv.com/">directsattv.com</a> there is a good amount of information to read over and that is where I found the <a href="http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/consumerdish.html">government rules for installing a dish</a>, that I found so frustrating to read, but I understand the need to have this information available for review. I guess I just like more interesting and a lot more entertaining reading to take up my free time. Silly me.</p>
<p>But anyway I do believe that I&#8217;ll be signing up soon with direct tv and see how it goes for there. I&#8217;ve had cable so long and I&#8217;m due for a change and now seems to be a good time as any. My folks have had direct tv since forever and I&#8217;ve always enjoyed what they have to offer when I watch television over there. I&#8217;ll be using them as my referral and we can both walk away with some money for the effort.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This darn mess that our government has gotten ourselves into with the economy issue is mot improving one red cent for anyone that I know or am related to. If anything, things are getting rougher and tougher for most of us. So many of us will not even watch the evening news anymore since it is full of such depressing and horrible stories surrounding us. It is no wonder that so many newspapers are going under, what with the Internet bringing us all we need and want to know and nothing but negativity being talked about, who wants to spend any of their hard earned money just read that kind of nonsense?</p>
<p>Instead of spending money on newspapers, more folks are using that money on <a href="http://www.homesecurityteam.com/home-security-equipment.html">security systems</a>. The crime rate is steadily climbing with more people becoming desperate to make ends meet and to keep a roof over their head and food on the table.  My folks just had a <a href=" http://www.radioshack.com/pwr/product-reviews/Home-Office/Home-security-safety/Video-cameras-lenses/RadioShack/p/2199258-Color-Security-Camera.html">security video camera </a>installed at their place and they are even considering purchasing a large dog in order to ward off the bad guys. They haven&#8217;t owned a cat or a dog in years. Once us kids moved out the welcomed not having any responsibilities to deal with!</p>
<p>Any ADT Home Security Systems has gotten their attention. They did their homework and went online to find the who, what and wheres of what is going on in today&#8217;s security industry and they like what they found with ADT. And since they live out in the boonies where they tend to lose power once in a while, they were adamant about finding a company that provided them with a <a href=" http://www2.ucsc.edu/police/Home_Security_Handbook.pdf ">backup battery </a>and equipment guide features as well. I&#8217;m hoping that they will feel better protected now and that they can sleep better at night and feel good about leaving home for a few days.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>They say that a lot more people are going to be on the road this year for the Memorial Day holiday weekend. It seems that people have cut back these past couple of years so much that they feel that they need and deserve this long weekend and are going for it like it&#8217;s now or never. Wish I had plans to do something fun and exciting, but it&#8217;s not in this year&#8217;s cards for this gal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shopping sites such as Shopwiki.com are such a wonderful resource for online shoppers like myself. There are some of the best deals available for someone who doesn&#8217;t mind staying at home and taking a bit of time and letting their fingers do the walking all over the Internet. Shopping online allows you to focus all of your attention to the job at hand. No worries about crowds, parking issues, rude sales associates, all of the walking that is involved, bratty and unruly children and all the other hassles that go along with shopping at the local malls and other other retail businesses.</p>
<p>If you find that you want or need something you can usually rely on the Internet to bring it to you some how. Right now the <a href="http://www.shopwiki.co.uk/wiki/Home+and+Garden">Home and Garden </a>sections of Walmart are in complete turmoil and I can&#8217;t think of any other place that I&#8217;d hate to be at more these days more than Walmart. With spring comes all the <a href=" http://www.shopwiki.co.uk/wiki/Outdoor+and+Gardens">Outdoor and Gardens </a>madness that so many of us enjoy and rely on each year. I know that my Dad is up and ready to start with all the <a href=" http://www.shopwiki.co.uk/wiki/Workshop+and+Home+Improvement">Workshop and Home Improvement </a>projects and tasks that he has been thinking of all winter long for his place and a few things around my place as well. Thanks for keeping me in mind Dad!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Living close to New York City has so many benefits. I really enjoy all the events that are constantly and consistently being offered all year round there and the surrounding areas. And it&#8217;s so easy to get tickets these days with the Internet being the fastest, easiest and most reliable way to learn about the events. Everything you ever need to know about any of the events can be found online and then you can purchase the <a href="http://www.acheapseat.com/venue/landshark_stadium_tickets/miami_dolphins_tickets.html">tickets online </a>as well. All in one swift movement, nice and easy like.</div>
<div>My mother is talking about getting her hands on some <a href="http://www.acheapseat.com/celtic_woman_tickets.html">Celtic woman tickets </a>to take my sisters and I out for a &#8220;Ladies Night Out&#8221; soon. Sounds like a blast to me. Any time the four of us head out for the night you can count on some pretty funny stories coming out about it the next holiday get to together.</div>
<div>My mother has always been good about getting good tickets. When people come into town she immediately looks online to see what <a href="http://www.acheapseat.com/madison_square_garden_tickets.html">Madison Square Garden Tickets </a>will be available during that time frame.  People love going to Madison Square and they always have top notch entertainment going on there. Of course <a href="http://www.acheapseat.com/blue_cross_arena_tickets.html">Blue Cross Arena Tickets </a>are always a good bet as well. Hockey fans can&#8217;t seem to get enough of that place.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our 2006 <a href="http://repairpal.com/chevrolet-silverado_1500-2005">Chevrolet Silverado </a>seems to be in need of a <a href="http://repairpal.com/brake-rotor-replacement">brake job</a>, sigh&#8230;.More money being spent on transportation, will it never end? If it isn&#8217;t one thing it is another with the vehicles that we have at this point. It seems that each month one of our vehicles is in need of something or another. My husband is pretty handy with a wrench but today&#8217;s vehicles all need the attention of a computer and so many specific tools that he just doesn&#8217;t have handy, so it is almost impossible to do anything other than take it to the shop for the required work.</p>
<p>It depends on the vehicle and the credit card balance at the time of the required work. This time I decided to use the Internet and see if I could find a decent <a href=" http://repairpal.com/dallas-auto-repair">Dallas auto repair </a>shop online that might be able to assist us with this task. I found a website Repairpal.com that allows you to type in your required location, required service needs and the type of vehicle in need and then leads you to companies that are out there that can help you. It was pretty cool actually, I found a repair shop that I had never heard of, so I gave them a call and I have an appointment for the morning. We will see how it all pans out and I&#8217;ll keep you posted.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s pretty cool that you can go to HireAHelper.com to search and select the type of helper that you need. They are an Internet based service provider that has the ability to hook you up with day Laborers in many areas that we all find ourselves in need of. My brother is looking for some <a href="http://www.hireahelper.com/movers/">moving help </a>for when he and his bride re locate in the summer. He Googled &#8220;<a href="http://www.hireahelper.com/movers/washington_dc/">Washington movers</a>&#8221; and came up with this wonderful website that he has enlightened us all on with his latest email.</p>
<p>It seems that they can offer you an instant quote and you can learn all about the helper right online.
