Upgrading My Health Insurance

Recently I have been concerned with the level of health insurance that I am carrying.  After being in the hospital for surgery last month, I was given a wake up call that I might not have adequate insurance coverage.
I am not worried about the level of my individual vision insurance.  I know for sure that […]

Looking for a Good Painter

A friend of mine recently purchased a rental property in Phoenix and they wanted to renovate the house before they rented it out.  We had a number of contractors lined up to do all the work, but we were having difficulty finding a Phoenix house painter.
We tried calling the numbers listed in the phonebook under […]

New Scrapbooking Supplier

A group of friends and I get together every month to do a scrapbooking splurge club.  We recently decided to look into ordering from a Canadian scrapbook supplies company, at wholesale prices.  Previously we had been purchasing our supplies from stores at retail prices and we thought we could save some money(or buy more supplies) […]

Overlooked European Travel Resource

When a lot of travelers go to Europe for a vacation, they just make their reservations and trip itinerary through their travel agent.  The good thing about doing it this way is that everything is ready for you and you don’t have to worry about anything.
But the one thing you have to consider is that […]

Protecting my Vehicles from the Elements

My pride and joy sits in my garage for most of the winter.  I have an old Ford Mustang that I like to drive during the summer.  But, since I live in a place that has a bunch of snow and salt on the roads in winter, I keep my baby indoors to keep […]

Buying a Doughnut Franchise

A good friend of mine recently purchased a doughnut franchise from another friend of mine.  You see Jeff had been working at this doughnut shop for a number of years and knew the operations of the company very well.  The owner was selling their stake in the store and he thought it would be a […]

Temporary Fix for Broken Computer

Most of you out there can probably relate to me when I say that it sucks when your computer is broken.  Whether you use it for work or play, computers have become an important part of our daily routines, and when your computer has to go to the shop, it interrupts your routine.
Unlike a car […]

Interweb Bridges the Gap Between Gadgets and Games

Ever since we had a computer in our house when I was a child, I was fascinated with computer games.  Sure, back in those days the graphics were not very good, but it wasn’t the looks that were important - it was the gameplay.
It wasn’t much after we had a computer that portable devices started […]

Preparing Myself To Prepare Others

I am quite new to my job and I am, in the next few weeks, going to have the opportunity to help conduct a Canadian Immigration Interview. I am probably as nervous about this as the person who is going to be sitting across in the other chair, as it will be a completely new […]

Selling My Exercise Equipment

I don’t know about you, but I have a ton of exercise equipment in my basement that I had planned on using, but somehow never got around to it.  I have an exercise bike, treadmill, heavy bag, and a chin up bar.  None of these exercise methods ever really got my attention so I decided […]
