My goals for this year
I've set a few goals for this year and one of them is to learn how to play guitar. When I was a kid I played around with a guitar and I learned a few simple folk songs (which worked well for me back in my hippie days), but I would seriously like to learn to play. I also have my sight set on learning piano one day. I will work on the guitar first then maybe I'll attack the piano. ...

It's true
At Christmas, I was out looking for waterproof cameras . I wanted to get them for my son's girlfriend's kids because I know that kids are rough on things. I couldn't spend a lot of money so that definitely limited the selection but there were still enough that I could get them each a different brand. Well, on Christmas, the youngest dropped his in the toilet. To make it worse, he was afraid to tell anyone and left it there for a good 30 minutes. Well, ...

Giving it the Ole College Try

Contribution by Kennith Griffin

My 2 best friends and I just got settled in our new home in Atlanta. We all go to different colleges and are in our senior year, but have all decided to stay around Atlanta (because who doesn't love Hotlanta?!) to start our careers so we took the plunge and bought a house in a cute little section of town. Why not? The market is great right now and we got a steal of a deal! We wanted home security Atlanta since ...

Houses for Rent
Wow, I could not believe my eyes when I went out looking at Christmas lights the other night. Of course I was cruising around neighborhoods that I do not usually drive around it. Well I swear, there were houses for rent everywhere and every other house was for sale. I guess I've been really blessed with my situation. I'd like to sell my house but I don't need to so I'm just waiting, but I'm guessing that many of these people do have to sell their homes. ...

I love to get pretty things for Christmas
Yeah I'm a sucker for pretty things! I love to get them as a gift and I like to give them. I love things for the house as well as jewelry. Well I had to buy some little girls some presents and I was really at a loss about what to buy, but then I noticed that they were both wearing beads so I bought them some Swarovski Crystal beads and I think they will really like that! ...

Our new sunroom by Window King

It’s been a long time coming but we finally committed to getting a sunroom built. I’ve wanted it forever, but on the few times we got estimates it was way out of our price range.

Well we also wanted to get our windows replaced with hurricane windows. After many estimates and annoying salespeople, we hired a company called Window King. The price seemed reasonable for their strongest windows and when they came and installed them, they did a great ...

Technical Trainer Jobs
I have to say that I feel so blessed. Every morning I watch the news and every day it is the same thing, millions unemployed. I feel so blessed that I have a good job, even if it is only temporary. The amount of time it has lasted has given me the opportunity to make plans for when it ends. I am in a situation where I have a good technical background in my field and could easily get contract work such as Technical Trainer Jobs. I watch the internet and the papers and it is ...

Oh why are we all soooo poor?
Oh, I am so sad that this country is in the shape that its in, which as seriously impacted everyone in my family. I have a good job and I can get everyone a nice gift for Xmas, but I really can't afford to spend money on myself. I know the rest of the family is in much worse shape...I guess that canon t1i camera that I have on my list will have to be marked off. Well, maybe later in the year I can get it for myself. ...

Grandma
I love shopping for people and I pride myself on buying, surprisingly useful gift. I was thinking about my grandmother today. She lives in Ohio and is like 76 years old or so. She's in good health basically but she seems a bit clumsy when she is getting around. I was thinking that maybe a pair of MSR Snowshoes would be a good gift for her. I hate to think of her falling down and breaking something. ...

Worrier

Authored by Rickey Combs

I am a perpetual worrier. This is one of my worst traits. I worry about everything—sadly, this is not an exaggeration. My husband jokes that if I don’t have anything in my life at the present moment to worry about, I will worry about inventing something to worry about. It is kind of a problem, is my point. I worry about my home being broken into, or about my home catching on fire and all of my irreplaceable heirlooms and photos being destroyed, or about a pipe bursting and flooding my house while ...
