Bad Credit Credit Cards

I have found that having a credit card is pretty much a necessity these days. When I was in college, I would carry my credit card just in case of emergency. Now I use it instead of carrying my checkbook or cash around, and simply pay it off each month that it comes due. The biggest thing with finding a credit card, is finding one that's right for you. It's so hard to choose from all the junk mail you get each day. That's why there's a great site, CreditCardSearchEngine.com, that makes it easy to compare different credit cards. Whether you're a business or a student, you are able to search and comapre the different credit card offers out there. You can find everything from low interest cards to bad credit credit cards. Check this site out today and find offers from J.P Morgan Chase, Citibank, Visa, and many other issuers out there.

Baby bird

I was sitting on my couch this morning eating my breakfast, and I looked out the window to find a baby bird. I could hear it outside, so I went to the window and watched it for a while. It appeared to be talking back and forth with it's mom and looked as though it were learning to fly. It was so neat to watch. All of a sudden it flew up near the window like it wanted in. It just kept flying there, flapping it's wings and and hitting the window. Although I did feel bad for the little guy, it was so cool to see this little baby bird learning to fly.

Missing You...

My girlfriend is currently in California, spending some time over the summer with her family. Although I miss her, I am glad that she's able to spend some time with them and have fun out there. The one thing that I realize not having her around everyday like I did when we were in school, is that I get home from work and and don't have her here. I am really looking forward to school starting back up for her so she's back down here and we can spend more time together.

Refrigerators

I recently learned the reason why so many people have problems with their refrigerators during this time of year. It's not because they just suddenly got old. It's because during the summer time, fridges have to work so much harder to keep all of our food cold than they do in the winter time, especially here in the midwest. So where do you go when you're looking for new samsung refrigerators? The store, or maybe the computer? Well, I have some news that might make your fridge buying experience more of a pleasant one. Krillion Localization Engine searches the web for the products you are looking for, bringing you specific information about the product as well as where it can be found to buy. This is great, because then you can just go out and buy it....no hassle at all. Check out this engine and see what you think...I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Great Blogs

There are so many great blogs out there, and each one is unique and different in it's own way. I mean, people write about different topics and choose different layouts. I always enjoy reading blogs that are a bit more personal...that way you really feel you're getting to know the person writing the posts. I found two great blogs, Bill and Vicky's Blog and Jenna's Blog, that deserve some attention. These writers both do a terrific job talking about their beliefs and daily lives, while also touching on some topics and reviews that are of interest to their readers. Check them out and see what you think.

Furniture

Finding quality furniture that really suits your style and taste can be very difficult. There's all of these furniture stores out there, but none may have exactly what you're looking for. I know that my sister and her husband are currently looking for homes, and when they find the perfect one, they are going to be looking for furniture. When they come to that point, I am definitely going to be sharing this great furniture site with them. FurnitureFromHome.com is a one of the neatest furniture sites I have seen. Now, many times we see people advertising for different companies and wonder..."what is this site really like?!" Well, you don't have to ask your self that question with me, because I'm being truthful when I tell you how cool the furniture is that this site has to offer. It's beautiful!!

I know when I move again, it will probably be into a bigger place, and at that point I will possibly be looking into some new bedroom furniture. I think this would be a great place for me to go for all of my needs...as they have so many pieces I love. Their Home Office Furniture is also quite neat. This is also something I could really use in a bigger place, as I do much of my work at home. And, although much of the furniture seems quite expensive, you can tell that it's worth it based on the quality of the furniture. That is for sure!

So, whether you're looking for a Home Office Desk, or Sectionals, you should definitely check this site out today! This is a paid post.

Summer weather

Well, the weather has been off and on this week. One day it will be really nice out, warm and pleasant, and the next day it will be pouring rain. Now today, the weather is kind of in between. It's not pouring rain at the moment, but has been off and on and it's really just gloomy outside. I am hoping that the weather clears up for the weekend...I'm ready for some nice summer weather again.

Metal Pegboard

I don't have my own garage yet, but I've heard from people who do that they can be very hard to keep organized if you don't have the right equipment. My brother-in-law talks about this a lot, as he and my sister are currently renting a house with a garage that was pretty full and unorganized. I am going to share the site, carguygarage.com with him, as they have over 1000 different products for garages of all sizes. There are so many different types of metal pegboard...it's amazing!!! I especially like the stainless steel metal pegboard available, because I think it would be very useful in hanging the tools and things that you don't just want laying around your garage. If you are like the people that I know with garages and want more organization, check out this site today. This is a paid post.

Paris Hilton

Well Paris Hilton's time in jail is almost to an end already. Did she really stay in there the full time that she was supposed to already? Wow time goes by quickly! They say she's doing well, writing to her fans a lot. Sounds like she is really appreciating the people who are supporting her and showing her appreciation and love through letters. There have been a few publicized and they sound very sincere. I've been hearing that Paris is a changed person, and that's become much more spiritual. I guess we'll see what those changes are and how they affect her life after jail.

Evan Almighty

I'm not sure about this new movie, Evan Almighty! I like that it's about the biblical story, Noah's Ark...but I'm not sure if it's a movie that's kind of poking fun at the story and at God or not?!? I may or may not see it, but I was just a little curious if it's leaning in that direction or not. If so, I probably wouldn't want to see it.

Online Coupons

I don't know about you, but when I'm shopping I like to get a good deal. Sometimes I even use coupons which seem to take a big chunk out of the total right away. Now, shopping is directing more to the internet than anywhere else. People are busy with work and their daily lives, and shopping online is just that much more convenient and fast. It's easy to go browsing online in the comfort of your own home and not have to worry about going out and hassling all of the crowds. Did you know that shopping online, you can save money with coupons also? If not, then you should know that you can!! With coupon codes! Take a look at the coupon website KeepCash.com. They help people save lots of money on their online purchases at many different stores. You can always count on them to have the latest deals too, because they update their site daily!!

New Phone

I recently got a new phone and went with a different carrier. I liked the phone and carrier I had, but this one will make it so much easier to make phone calls and receive them when I am out of the country for business trips. I'm really excited to get it. My brother-in-law actually set it up for me, so the phone is going to his house today. It should be there soon and then he's going to send it out in the mail to me. Hopefully the mail moves quickly and I can get it soon.

New Music Site

I love going online to different sites and listening to music. It's so nice to be able to go on while I'm working on my computer and listen to great music, and a variety of it at that. Today I came across another great new music site that I had never heard of before. Tourdates.Co.UK, is actually a really neat site that is the fastest growing in Britain. When I was on there I was browsing through the unsigned chart with free music downloads. To use this site all you have to do is join, and it's totally free and easy to do. Once you do you will have access to all of their really cool features! Check it out today. This is a paid post.

The following is a press release:
tourdates.Co.UK, Britains fastest growing new music website, has launched a chart for unsigned bands.

The site allows new bands to upload promotional tracks, announce gig dates and create profiles to promote themselves alongside major artists such as the Artic Monkeys and The Twang.

Tourdates Jarrod Robinson says, there are some fantastic unsigned bands in the UK and we wanted them to know how much our community likes their music, an unsigned chart seemed the perfect answer.

Chart results are announced on the site at 19:00 every sunday, the sametime as the No1 single of the week is announced on BBC's radio 1.

House Search

My sister recently told me that they were going to go look at three houses this weekend, as they are hunting for a more permanent residence before the baby comes. She said that they are now looking at four, because they found another one that they think is pretty nice. Like she said, buying a house is a big thing and they want to make sure that they've looked at all the ones they need to, to make a decision. Hopefully for them they like one of these houses and can get moved. If not though, then the perfect house is still out there waiting for them. We'll see I guess.

Reno 911! Games

Well I'm sure all of you Reno 911! Miami fans have heard and are excited that Reno 911! Miami The Movie the unrated version just came out on dvd. I was pretty happy to hear this, as I think the movie is quite funny!! If you haven't seen the movie, it's basically about the police officers of the Reno police department who are at a national police convention and get called out to save the day when there are some terrorist attacks. It's really a funny movie and a great dvd to add to your collection!

Their site has a lot of information about the movie, as well as 4 really fun games to play. My favorite would have to be "Calling all Units" because I love cars and driving, and it was fun to be the police officer and try to find the place where I was being paged to go. It was a little difficult to get the hang of driving the car at first, but after a while it got easier. My ending salary was 25,900 dollars and the cost to the city was 21,000 dollars. My bustin bonus was 4000 dollars. I was pretty pleased with the outcome, but I will keep trying to beat my score. It's quite the addicting game!! It's so fun though!! I chose it because I love cars and I thought it would be fun to drive a police car fast through town. I was right!! Check it out for yourself, and Reno 911! Miami The Movie too! This is a paid post.

This weekend

I was planning on going back home this coming weekend to see my parents and my sister and her husband. They're looking at some houses that day to see if there is anything that they'd be interested in putting an offer down on. I was looking forward to getting to see the homes they're look at...they all sound really nice. I know they're looking for something a little bigger and a little newer. They'd really like to find something that would last them as long as they wanted to live there. Maybe even have the possibility to add on at some point if they're there long term But yeah, I was looking forward to it, but I think with my business trip just coming to an end on Friday, that I will be too tired to go back for the weekend. I'll get to see them some other time.

I don't want to make something because then it takes so long and there's usually way too much. I don't really want to eat out because that gets rather spendy. I guess I'm going to have search through my cupboards and fridge and see what I can come up with.:)

Dr. Phil

I am not one to watch a lot of daytime television, but when I get the chance I really enjoy watching Dr. Phil. The stories that he has on his show are very interesting and realistic. They are things that many people can relate to and that's what I like. He's very knowledgeable in a lot of what he says, and it's interesting to hear his point of view on things. I don't always agree with what he says, but it's a fun show to watch. I enjoy it.

Maternity Health Insurance

When I heard my sister got pregnant, one of the first things that crossed my mind was...I hope that they have good Maternity Insurance!! I even heard her talk about it some, and she was hoping that much of her pregnancy would be covered by the insurance that they have. For many women, maternity health insurance can be really hard to get. It's very expensive, and not something easily afforded by those who are expecting a new baby. I am happy to share with you Maternity Savings. They are a great site that gives you the information you need to make the best decisions about the costs of having a baby. It's a great site and I strongly recommend you take a look at it.

Hotel Reservations

I am getting ready to go on my first business trip with this new job that I accepted a couple months ago, and boy, is there a lot that goes into planning a trip. I mean I had somewhat of an idea of what went into planning a trip from when I was younger and watched my mom do this all the time when we were getting ready to go on family vacations. She'd get home from work, and then spend all night trying to find the best deals on motels by searching through all of these booklets that she'd have to call in and asked to get mailed to her. Keep in mind, this was before internet use was very popular at all. She be taking notes like crazy and calling around to all of these different hotels to get the best prices and the best deal for our family for Hotel Reservations. Although I wasn't the one to plan most of the business trip I am going on, I still saw all that went into it, and it reminded me of my mom and her hard work at planning trips when we were young. I think that I am going to share the site, hotelreservations.com with my coworkers and my mom for the next time trips are planned. This site offers so much information on so many different ypes of motels, hotels, resorts, vacations rentals, etc!! By using this site it's easy to compare the rates and see how competitive they truly are.

Smorty

As many of my readers know, I love blogging!! I am really into computers and the internet, and I use my blog for everything!! One of the greatest things out there right now, are the opportunities to get paid for blogging. Basically you get paid to blog about things you enjoy and are interested in. Some companies out there are better than others, and I recently found one that I recommend others check out as well. Smorty is a service that connects bloggers and advertisers together. The thing that I think makes Smorty stand out against it's competitors is how they send you specific opportunities that you can do. You're not fighting over hundreds of opps with a bunch of other bloggers out there. So far I really like Smorty's services and being able to advertise on blogs through their site. Is this an interest that you may have with your own blog? If so, check out Smorty today.

Hotel Reservations

Planning a vacation can be very time consuming and stressful without the right tools! I mean, Have you ever planned a vacation before and been so completely stressed out because of all the details that go into it? Have you sat there night after night looking through brochures for motels and resorts in the areas that you want to stay, only to have called them and been told that there were no rooms left? Well, I know that my mom used to plan vacations a lot when I was younger, and she went through a lot of this stuff as well. She would sit for hours writing down things, looking through books, and making phone calls to make the perfect hotel reservations for our families needs and desires. I'm going to share a great site that I came across called Hotel Reservations. With this site she'll never have to sit night after night, and hour after hour trying to plan a trip. ON this site they make it easy. They offer so much information on a variety of Cheap Hotels, motels, resorts, vacation rentals, and more!!

Blogging for money

Has anyone ever noticed how many blogging communities there out there offering bloggers money to blog about different topics? Well I have, and I am quite amazed at how this blogging for money thing caught on so quickly. It wasn't even a year ago that I heard that I could blog for money with my blog, and now you can find it all over the internet, which is great! Using your blog to make money sometimes can make for a really great way to bring in some extra cash!! I've tried out a number of these companies...some are good and some aren't so great. I guess it's all up to one's preference which companies they decide to stick with.

Dogs

Bichon dogs are the greatest! I'm sure I've blogged about this before...but my parents have the absolute greatest dog in the world. I may be a little bias, but seriously, if you're looking for a great family dog...one that's sweet, obedient and well trained, check into getting a bichon frise. She is the most loveable and well trained dog I know. She's just the best!!

Capella University

The following blog post was is based on information provided by Blogitive. For more information, please visit Blogitive.com.

Having gone to two different colleges over the course of my college career, I know that it's important to find a good quality college that offers the things that you are looking to pursue. Having been somewhat familiarized with the college world, I realized how many great online universities there are out there. One of which I'd like to share with you today. Capella University is a quality, and fully accredited online University that offers graduate degrees in many areas such as business, information technology, education, etc. as well as bachelor degrees in business and information technology. There are currently over 17,000 students enrolled at Capella University, these students being from all parts of the world! If you're interested in learning more about Capella University and how you can get your adult education online, check out their site today.

Sara Orem is actually a faculty member at Capella University, as well as a co-author of a book entitled, Appreciative Coaching: A Positive Process for Change. Basically it discusses how we can help people and organizations flourish by focusing on the positive and helping them to effect change. It's actually a great thing for coaches or managers who work one-on-one with people, because it gives them the tools necessary to influence change in their workplace. I thought this was a great theory, and one that everyone should try and utilize in their own workplace.

Moon Age Daydream

Do you like to read? Do you like Sci-Fi books? How about a Sexy Sci-Fi book? If so, then you should definitely take a look at Moon Age Daydream by Shaun Von Dragen. It's about a young man, the narrator who is trying to figure out the mystery of his missing ex-girlfriend. While he's trying to figure this out though, he's dealing with a very jealous girl, Isabelle. Learning about what this book was about had me very intrigued and I'm guessing you as well.

This weekend

I decided that I'm going to be going home this weekend to see my parents. I always enjoy going back to see them, and their dog too. It's Father's Day and I thought it would be really nice to see my dad and celebrate that special day with him. I'm also looking forward to getting to relax a little bit after a long week of work.

Get Rich Quick??

Have you ever noticed how many of the youth today expect to "get rich quick" and have everything right away?? I've begun to notice this as I get older and I began to wonder why. In looking around the internet, researching this question more in depth, I've found that my theory is correct, and most children who are in their teens right now expect to be making 6 figures or more. Although I believe in thinking positively in believing that you'll do well in life, I feel that the youth of today expect it all right now! Some don't seem to want to work towards it, start at the bottom and move up. From what I've read and found, the younger generation thinks that this is how it will be when they are adults because they see it all over the television everyday. We see famous people who have everything and that's what they want, so it falls on our society as well. I think one of the biggest things parents can do with their children when they are young is get them some experience, hands on experience I should say, with money. I think this was the biggest eye-opener for myself. When you actually get to have and use money in a realistic way, you get a better idea of what a budget means, etc.

Drug Rehab

As many know, finding a drug rehab program that's right for you can be very difficult. There are so many out there and not ever program is right for everyone. One that I recently came across is the Stone Hawk addiction treatment program. The thing that I found to be most interesting about Stone Hawk was that the people there are truly wanting to help and can really relate to those who come there because they were once addicts too. If you're interested in finding a quality drug rehab program for you or someone you love, check out Stone Hawk and see if it's what you're looking for. This is a paid post.

Asthma in Children

It seems like I hear a lot more instances where young children are getting asthma. This was not something that you heard much about when I was younger. In browsing the web, I found many different articles which are saying that giving antibiotics to young children may actually increase the child's chances of getting asthma. It will be interesting to see if there are anymore studies done on this, to see if, in fact it is the antibiotics that are increasing the risk of asthma in children today. If they could figure this out, it would be a huge thing because right now there are so many children who have asthma and it actually causes them to miss school....millions of days of school actually are missed across the country. Something very interesting to think about.

Golf

It was fun to go back to FC this weekend. I got to spend some time with my girlfriend and my family. Renee and I went golfing which was pretty fun. I don't go golfing too much, but when I do, I really seem to enjoy it. My dad is also big into golfing, much more so than I am even. He likes to go golfing whenever he gets the chance, and does really well at it too! He's a natural at the game, and it's nice that he gets the chance to do it once in a while throughout the summer.

Baby Jessica

I am not sure how many remember "baby Jessica", the little girl who was pulled out of an 8 inch pipe nearly 20 years ago, but I remember the story and know that I've heard more and more about it as the years have passed. Recently, "baby Jessica", who is now 21, went back to that place where she was stuck for nearly 59 hours as a child. Although Jessica does not really remember this terrible time, she has told different people that it was a little weird for her to go back and recall the story of what happened to her when she was young. I was just reading a press release on her and thought it was very interesting to read about how she first heard of this story, how it affected her, etc. What a great blessing that she's alive and doing great now 20 years later!

PPP Direct

PPP Direct is a great new program that PayPerPost is offering. It's a terrific way for bloggers like you and me to have advertisers directly approach us about opportunities they'd like us to do for them. Whether it's because they've liked the work we've done for them in the past, or simply like the way we write and what our blog is about, they can contact us to do some blogging for them, without having to go through PayPerPost. What a wonderful way to continue to make money and have a say in what you write and how much you make. What do I mean?? Well, PayPerPost has a badge that we can put on our sites, allowing advertisers to check out how much money we're willing to take for doing a specific post for them. This gives us some say in what we make, which is great if you ask me. The amount you give is a minimum, this means that there is room for negotiation depending on the types of opportunities offered to you. The main difference between PPP and their competitors when it comes to a program like this, is that PPP Direct does not ask for a huge percentage of what you make like others who ask for 50-100% sometimes. PPP Direct only charges a 10% fee, and 5 of that is for the actual PayPal transaction that needs to be made to pay you. PPP cares about their posties and want to do the best they can to allows look out for their best interest. If you haven't already, check out this new tool and see what you think. This is a paid post.

I'm Back!

It's been a little while since I've been able to blog, as this new job of mine has kept me quite busy!! I used to have time between classes and at night, but now I am working all day, and even come home with work to do sometimes. I am going to try and be better about blogging more often about current news, as well as reviews of products and companies that I find useful and important to share with others.
