Co-Worker Eloped

Guest post of the week by Deangelo Spencer

I am sitting at my computer exhausted and trying to distract myself from work. I am suppose to be looking up Texas Electricity Providers for my boss, but I feel like I have been working non-stop and have not had a second to breathe since I came in this morning. I have decided to update my blog (that I have not updated in two months!). I usually am not the slacker on my blog or at my job that I appear to be. I think that I am just burned out. My co-worker who basically had my same job title quit three months ago. She fell in love, eloped in Vegas, and never came back to work. I of course, have gotten slammed with all of her work because the HR department is just about as slow as Christmas when it comes to the hiring process. I have basically been doing two jobs and have only been getting paid to do one. I have gotten behind in all things personal life. I miss blogging and staying in touch with friends. They have got to hire someone soon!

Low Flow Toilets

Lauren — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 00:27:40 +0000

We have been experiencing toilet issues for many months now. I’ve about had it at this point and ready to take action myself, since my dad hasn’t been willing or able to do much about the situation. It seems that toilet repair isn’t one of his specialties, sigh……

I’m always about saving money, as well as doing my part in becoming as “green” as possible, when possible. So I thought it would be a good idea to look into the Dual Flush Toilets that I’ve been hearing about. Researching things such as these is so much easier with the Internet, I’ve only looking around just a tad and have found some good information to take and run with. A dual flush toilet can Save Water for a family of 7, a huge 49 gallons a day, which turns out to be a savings of 18,000 gallons per year, that is like a large swimming pool full of water!

We all use a large amount of water each and every day. At some point we could certainly run out of our much needed supply. SelectAFlush is focusing on water conservation, water being our most important resource to sustain life as we know it. To see and learn more about these Dual Flush devices, you can go to dualflushkit.com and check out what they have to say and what they have to offer. With them a little flush can go a long way!

Video Classifieds

Lauren — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 03:53:58 +0000

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.

Online Gift

Guest post from: Winston Stewart

With the holiday season approaching, I’ve made a resolution for myself. After years of dealing with the crowds and standing in lines, I have made a decision. I am going to try to find every single gift that I give online this year. I have scouted out credible websites, and I’m pretty sure I can do it. You can seriously find almost everything online these days, and my gift list is no exception. I have ordered magazine subscriptions, home goods, clothes, accessories. I even ordered a subscription to satellite TV through www.direc4u.com! I didn’t have to worry about one single line, and I’m much more merry this year! Every gift just came right to my house, too- so I saved on gas! When I went to go checkout at one of the websites it gave me twenty percent off and free shipping. It’s almost like you don’t even have to pay tax! I think I’ve found a new way to shop for Christmas gifts! I suggest that everyone that is sick of manning the lines do the same thing!

Netflix for Christmas

Lauren — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 03:15:17 +0000

One of my favorite gifts from this Christmas was a year’s subscription to Netflix. We don’t get cable or satellite so this will be a real treat to be able to watch all that Netflix has to offer on the TV or my laptop. Gonna sign up come January 1st, way too busy right now for movies anyway.

The Filling of Christmas Stockings

Lauren — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 00:51:41 +0000

According to her latest email, my best friend is up in arms, trying to find items in which to put in the kids Christmas stockings which can be a challenge each Christmas. We all hate to buy just a bunch of junk that will be left in a drawer, untouched for several years down the road. It seems like such a waste of good money, and money is hard to come by these days, just to buy “fillers” in order to make sure that the stockings are nice and full, and appreciated.

I told her that the Dollar Store is a wonderful place to find items at a low cost, but she has gone to several of these types of businesses and the stuff is just junk and she is getting a bit nervous, considering that Christmas is now only less than a week away. She is going to keep looking, she has to of course, she can’t have her kids disappointed and think that Santa isn’t up to par this year!

Not Enough Time

Lauren — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 02:11:33 +0000

I have never been one to get into paying my bills on line, but with the cost of postage and the amount of time saved, not to mention the paper waste, I have been getting in-to more and more.The one problem I have is trying to get onto the computer, unless I get up at 5:00am it will be a struggle, along with the phones ringing, doorbells ringing, a cat or dog needing to go outside, there isn’t enough of me or the PC to go around.

I wish I had my own room and my own PC, I would go in and lock the world away. I guess just about every woman feels that way at times. I mean having her own room for what ever reason she needs it for other than a place to be alone, unbothered.

Pain Relief

Lauren — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 20:21:47 +0000

I found a web site Salonpas.us that sells a neat product called the Salonpas Air Spray Pain Relief, doesn’t that sound cool. It advertises fast, effective relief of Acute Pain for all athletes.It states that it offers a strong cooling sensation which is a benefit in its self. It is very beneficial for knee and calf pain use after sports or exercise and is really popular for folks that run marathons. The cooling effect of the spray shows immediate drop in skin temperature of the area sprayed which brings relief to were it aches.

You can order it online or I noticed that it is sold in numerous stores located across the U.S. I wonder if it would benefit my sore back, it comes in a spray, roll on and I even see that it comes in a patch, I will have to pick up some and try it out and see.

grape leaves

The article written by Victor Flowers

We looked into internet providers Middleville and decided to finally get satellite internet. I love that I can do so much on the internet. I knew about internet shopping, but didn’t realize how much you could really buy off of the internet. I started ordering all of our bathroom tissue, paper towels, and non-perishable food items from Amazon.com. They have really great deals and if you order a certain amount of money worth, you can get free shipping. It really gives me a lot more time because I am not running back and forth into town. Lastly, I have been able to order specialty groceries that I cannot get in town off of the internet. I am of Lebonese descent and love to cook the traditional food. My favorite snack is stuffed grape leaves. Now I order the grape leaves and make them all the time. I am really glad that we decided to get satellite internet. My husband is glad too, because he loves all the wonderful dishes that I have been cooking because I can order the ingredients off the internet.
