Ordering Checks

It may seem as a surprise but I ran out of checks today.  Any of you remember what a check is?  Comedy aside, I don’t think I have run out in years, but I just paid for some computer parts for my computer with one - they didn’t have debit.
So, I needed to login to […]

Working Off the Pounds

Working at home has unfortunately added some thickness to my waistline.  Now, this added weight has added some inconvenience - some of my clothes no longer fit.
By no means am I overweight - I just would feel better getting back down to my regular weight.  With that in mind, I have decided to find some […]

Modernizing our Fire Pit

We have a gas fire pit in our back yard that we spend time sitting around in the summer.  For the longest time we have had fake logs in there to give it an atmosphere of a real wood fire.
But I have been getting tired of the fake logs.  Even though it may look like […]

Helping Kids Learn

It is a funny thing how knowledge is passed down generation to generation, but in this last generation we have been coming up short.  With the increase in pace of our lives, there has been a rapid decrease in the level of education that students are getting in schools.

Helping my Son Write Eulogies - A Homework Assignment

Now, I am not trying to sound morbid here.  Strangely enough, my son came home with a homework assignment to write eulogies of himself and two of his classmates.  They are expected to be positive and highlight how that person affected their lives.

MySpace Layouts for Non-Techies

I have always been scared about setting up a website - I don’t know anything about computer programming.  I don’t know what HTML means, and to be honest, I don’t care.  I vowed to never setup a website in my life, but then MySpace came along.
On one hand it was great that they setup your […]

Thinking of Old Age

Now, I am not really that old - I am coming up on the big thirty after all.  But that doesn’t change the fact that I will be old someday, and I need to take the necessary steps to ensure that I will be taken care of when I am old - and not be […]

Successful Hair Salon Owner

I am the owner of a few hair salons.  I offer many services and am always trying to keep up with the latest hairstyles and colors.  One of the ways I do this is by always hiring new stylists fresh out of beauty school.  They seem to be the most trendy and chic, offering freshness […]

Moving From Free Web Hosting

Well, I have had one of my older websites hosting on free web hosting for a number of years.  Originally, I didn’t have a budget to afford web hosting, so that is why the site is there.  Thing is, the site has become more popular over the years and the amount of traffic it gets […]

Credit Problems: Bankruptcy Not the Only Option

You can see a lot of media attention on bankruptcy being the only option should you have credit problems.  In truth, there are many options to consider when facing the possibility of bankruptcy.
An option that I would urge you to consider is getting involved in a debt negotiation program.  Basically, you would get some credit […]
