With the move to Ohio coming closer and closer for us, I’ve been doing a lot of comparison shopping on numerous sites.  The one I’ve been floating around for the last few days now is savebuckets.co.uk, you can compare pricing on everything from mp3 players to household items, even pet related items as well.  I do a lot of shopping in the electronics sections though.  As far as everything house-based is concerned, I know what I need and I know where I’m going to get it.  My big focus these days is figuring out what television to buy, and where…more»

I recently received a message on myspace from an old high school friend of mine.  She went through the whole “How have you been?” routine, letting me know that she had some important news for me and felt bad that she had to get back in touch with me this way.  She then went on to say that a mutual friend of ours from high school has passed away due to a drug overdose.  She apologized for losing touch and coming out of the blue with information like this but she also wanted to make sure that she told me…more»

I’m not sure if many people would agree, but if you’re anything like me – you enjoy working from home. The idea of earning money without having to get out of your PJ’s, the way many celebrities seem to do it, is a good feeling. Now, I’m not saying that you have to quit your job and try this but if you’ve been considering it then I’ll tell you that it takes a lot of hard work and even more dedication than it would if you were in an actual office setting. Many people think that working from home means…more»

Even though Halloween hasn’t even hit yet, stores around the area are already overloading the shelves with Christmas related items. Everything from big blow-up lawn ornaments to decorations in general, there isn’t a corner that you can turn in Walmart that has anything Halloween related except for one small isle in the store. I find this to be a bit absurd but everyone seems to just hop right over the ‘small’ holidays and go straight to the money maker that is Christmas. It’s unfortunate from a personal standpoint considering I enjoy the “small” holidays much more than the large ones,…more»

I may be doing a little too much planning ahead on this home ownership deal but is it really so wrong that I’d like to have everything I’m looking for in a home? I do have to live there, so it’s not like I’m going to live someplace that I absolutely hate, you know? So I’ve been poking around the Internet for a few design ideas, everything from furniture to garage conversions and windows for that matter.  I came across Anglian Homes, which seems like a great resource for all Home improvements, so I floated around a little.  The company…more»

There are numerous companies on the Internet that not many people know about, ones that could potentially blow the competition out of the water but because of them either being new, or just not well advertised, you don’t hear much about them other than word of mouth. A company that I found tonight, US National Telecom (YIWA). Based on what I’ve read, this company works in the rapidly growing field of VoIP. While they aren’t an actual VoIP company themselves, they work with the numerous companies in this field. They provide services and products to carriers, resellers and small businesses…more»

I do a lot of surfing around the Internet.  Valuable resources like Google open up a whole new world for everyone who uses them. I ‘ve been able to easily find the things that I’m looking for because someone did their job right when they did the SEO work on that specific account.  In some cases, however, I’ve had a pretty hard time being able to locate what I’m looking for.  As I noted in a previous entry, I’ve been searching around the Internet for the company I saw advertised on television the other night.  It’s bothering the heck out…more»

Halloween is just around the corner, it’s really not going to be very eventful this year though. Based on the fact that we’ll be packing up and moving all over the course of a few days, there’s no real time to enjoy the Holiday. We may just go out to dinner and rent a movie, thankfully there aren’t any children in the complex that we’re going to need to entertain with candy so that’s an OK thing by me. I know that sounds kind of cruel but when you have two dogs that insist upon running to the door whenever…more»

I was shocked to find out that many of my favorite authors use a ghostwriter on certain sections of their books.  Sean has been a ghostwriter on numerous college essays when people have come to him for help.  He also managed to get a not-so-intelligent person selected for her choice college based on the essay he rewrote for her.  There have been a few times in the past when I wish I had a ghostwriter, but that’s based on the fact that I easily lose inspiration for things and coming up with 10+ entries per day on numerous blogs can…more»

I like going to review sites, consumer reviews seem to be the most important aspect of buying anything for me.  Sure, if I walk into Best Buy and I see a TV that I like, I may walk out with it.  But if reviews tell me that the TV has a great picture but easily over heats or pixels show up within a half hour of usage, then naturally that’s going to be one of my deciding factors in the purchase itself.  When it comes to Software and other Programs that I use on a regular basis, Trial and Error…more»
