Welding stuff is expensive
I have a friend who has been trying to get a divorce from her husband for almost three years. He just wouldn't cooperate. Anyway, at the end of 2011, he finally signed the papers and she is now free. First thing that happened though was that a storage company sent her a huge bill that her husband was supposed to be paying. She couldn't really afford it, so we suggested that she take the stuff to pawn shops and sell it. Wow, who knew welding supplies could be so valuable. She came out with a real chunk ...

Pool Safety nets
You know the laws must be different in different states regarding pool safety nets . My neighbor just had a pool put in and when she was showing me, I asked her where her safety net and fence were. She shrugged. I told her that while I lived in Florida that it was the law that every home with a pool have one. She says she never heard of it and the pool people didn't say anything. She also added that she would look into getting one. I ...

Living here

Guest post from: Jerald Hammond

Living here is really tough on the whole family but we really bonded together in a way that has surprised me. Before we moved we didn't spend a whole lot of time at the total family unit but now every Thursday night in our house is movie night. The alternate who gets to choose the move from the chandler directv lineup and I always make something special for dinner that night. It's just really nice to spend time with my husband and all four of ...

I hate being the gopher
You know I am really spoiled and rarely have to do anything special or that requires work. However, every time my husband decides to do anything I have to be the gopher. I try to keep a smile on my face because I do know how spoiled I am but sometimes its really hard. Like today. He comes in and tells me to do a search for drum trucks. I don't even know what that is and if I do find it, am I going to have to go get it? Probably. ...

Too soon?
Is it to soon to start thinking about Father's Day ? While I was drinking my coffee this morning I had the calendar down and was just glancing at the holidays. When it hit Father's day I don't know why but my brain just stuck there. I'm trying to think of something really special to get my dad, but it's really hard because he's in his 70s and just doesn't really need anything. ...

He finally got his RV
My previous boss was always talking about buying an RV. He is retired military but was working for the government. He had big dreams of traveling for his retirement. Well, guess what? I was watching tv and I kept hearing a horn honk, so I got up to look outside! There sat a giant RV in my driveway and there was my old boss, grinning and waving! He finally got his dream vehicle. It is nice but I wonder if he is prepared for the high gas costs and any rv travel emergency . I hope so. ...

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. ...
