			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Too many times we forget the birthday of our loved ones that have passed away.  That&#8217;s not true for me.  My great-grandmother is one of those people that I prefer not to forget about.  She was an amazing woman.  She farmed 20 acres of land long after my great-grandfather died.  She grew enough food for three families and even sold a lot of what she grew.</p>
<p>I always make sure that on her birthday I place some chrysanthemums on her grave.  She loved those flowers and even grew them to sell to a local florist.  That woman could make money from the ground like no other I have ever known.  Like I said, she was a very special person and I have learned so much more about life and living from her than I could have ever learned in any classroom.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I was sitting down this afternoon to eat my late lunch of peanut butter and honey sandwich and a glass of water (yes, I really am trying to save money) I noticed that my son was watching an episode of &#8220;House&#8221; on television. I was only there for a couple of minutes, but I watched it while I was there. I learned something very interesting in that couple of minutes; sorbital is used as an artificial sweetener in sugar-free products, such as gum. It is also used by the medical profession as a laxative! Now that I know that, I will keep that in mind the next time I am having stomach troubles!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the things that scares me a lot is the proliferation of businesses like <a href="http://www.littlepayday.com">Little Payday</a> that are cropping up on almost every second or third block downtown. Because of the struggling economy, more and more people are turning to <a href="http://www.littlepayday.com">short term loans</a> to help them pay for things that they really need, like groceries and rent.</p>
<p>The problem with doing this type of loan is that if you are not able to pay it back within a few days of borrowing the money, you end up paying an enormous amount of interest, and by the time you are finished paying it off, you end up spending three or four or even five times the amount of money that you borrowed in the first place! Trust me, I am not a big fan of eating peanut butter and jelly every day, but if that is what it is going to take to make ends meet for a few weeks, it might be smarter to restrict yourselves to eating cheaper food for a while in order to prevent yourself from being trapped into a never-ending debt. Please folks, be really careful if you try to get a short term personal loan. Read the fine print carefully and make sure you understand all of the costs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the great things about having a fast Internet connection is the ability to participate in webinars, watch movies and videos and play <a href="http://www.gamehouse.com/online-games">online games</a> whenever you want to. When I got my first personal computer the Internet was not even available to the general public; I used my personal computer to type up term papers for college.</p>
<p>When the Internet first became available in my area it was restricted to dial-up, and that was the only option for a very long time. Because of that restriction I used it for emails and research only for a very long time. I had to go on a waiting list for faster Internet and when it finally became availabe I was so happy to be able to go online and see and do things I had only been able to do at work before. Now whenever I go to my mother&#8217;s house and use her computer to check my email I am reminded about how lucky I am to live in an area that has fast Internet connectivity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since the economy is still a long ways away from the much desired recovery, many consumers are going to continue to struggle with keeping their bills paid on time. Credit scores will continue to fall, and this will make it more difficult for the consumer to buy their large ticket items on credit. This makes it even more important for the consumer to keep on top of his credit score and taking whatever steps are required to focus their efforts on  <a href="http://www.creditrepairinfo.com/">Credit Repair</a>.</p>
<p>Occassionally I find myself reading a magazine article, or an online article about the importance of making sure that your credit score is not being falsely harmed by fraudulent or mistaken errors on your credit report. The first step on any <a href="http://www.creditrepairinfo.com/">Credit Repair</a> process is to review your credit report. You are legally entitled to get a copy of your credit report once a year for free. Reviewing it for mistakes is the first step you should take. Even <a href="http://www.creditrepairinfo.com/the-best-credit-repair-service.html">The Best Credit Repair Service</a> money can buy will tell you that is the first step in the process. The last time I checked my credit report, I found a couple of mistakes on it, and I have been trying to clear them up. That can be a frustrating process, trust me!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is nothing I like better than a great bargain! And what could be better than free? I LOVE free! Free is good! But when free brings with it a nasty virus that causes trouble, then free is a nasty trick. Today I was reading tips about <a href="http://webhostinggeeks.com/blog/2011/12/22/free-software-download-sources/#more-3922">trusted sources to download free software</a> and learned that there are some trusted places that you can download free software, but that there are a lot of risks involved by going to other places.</p>
<p>I learned about this on a website whose main purpose is to rank and rate different <a href="http://webhostinggeeks.com/">web hosting</a> services. Sometimes I&#8217;m amazed at how much information I learn by accident! Isn&#8217;t it funny how you start off reading a web page on a subject and then a link off to the side of the page catches your attention and before you know it you&#8217;ve gone off on so many tangents learning interesting things that after a while you forget what website you were on to start off with! Anyway, I just want to caution everyone about being careful with freeware &#8211; sometimes the download can be a virus.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently I&#8217;ve been hearing a lot of talk about determining what kind of personality you are, and the others around you. The whole idea is that if you understand the different personality types it will be easier to get along with everyone and forgive their weaknesses, and celebrate their strengths. I&#8217;ve taken the little personality quiz and have to say that when I&#8217;m given the four different choices of which is &#8220;more&#8221; me, that I really have to say that I am ALL of the choices, not more one than the other. So I have the strengths of all of the choices, and darn few of the weaknesses of any of them. Yet I am too modest to claim myself to be perfect. Does that make me a good person, or a bad person? I don&#8217;t know, I really don&#8217;t.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my all time favorite sayings is &#8220;don&#8217;t sweat the small stuff &#8211; and it&#8217;s all small stuff.&#8221; I know that is the title of a book, and if I recall correctly I bought that book a couple of weeks ago when I found a bunch of great used books on the goodwillbooks.com website. I ordered about ten books all at once because they were all under a dollar each. There just are not enough hours in the day for me to read all of the books that I want to read and still do all of the work that I need to get done. </p>
<p>Anyway, the starting point of this post was really to lament the observation that too many people get way too upset over trivial little details. Making mountains out of mole hills, starting arguments over nothing. It really is such a shame that so much energy is poured into so much negativity. We could accomplish so much more as a human race if we could turn that energy into positive energy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most important courses any person can take is a course in ethics. Seems to me that lately there have been a lot of ethical violations in politics and business. That is, in my opinion, the biggest reason we (as a country) are in such a big mess. So I think that it is a good idea that every employer require every employee to take refresher ethics classes every year. </p>
<p>Especially people involved in tax preparation. I was surprised when Janice told me that she has to take a <a href="http://fastforwardacademy.com/index-page-continuing-professional-education-enrolled-agent.htm">ea ethics course</a> before the end of the year to be able to keep her job, but to be perfectly honest I am glad to hear it. Tax preparers especially are vulnerable to ethical challenges in the course of their jobs. It is good to know that <a href=" http://fastforwardacademy.com/index-page-enrolled-agent-test-bank-features.htm">ea cpe</a> courses are available for free on the Internet. I think it is really important that this kind of education reaches everyone involved in the profession.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the things that I really love about the Internet is how creative and different so many people can be when they create their web pages! For example, some people will focus on just one particular item, like how to make <a href="http://www.become.com/oversized-candle">oversized candles</a> with milk cartons and crushed ice, or dedicate themselves to raising money for a good cause. Still others will use the Internet to promote a political issue, or a particular candidate. And there are a lot of websites dedicated to religion and love, others are devoted to spreading hate. And some of my favorites are personal blogs, especially from my friends who love to travel; they post their adventures and pictures on their blogs. And let&#8217;s not forget the social media of facebook, and email!</p>
<p>Hackers and spammers get in there and try to create total havoc. I never could figure out why anyone would want to do that, I guess it&#8217;s just pure evil oozing out of their bodies, trying to ruin the capitalistic societies of the world. Where else could you push a button or two and switch from a screen that gives you a completely honest <a href="http://www.become.com/pacific-hydrostar-pressure-washer">pacific hydrostar pressure washer review</a> from fellow Internet users, and then a button push or two be able to find out where you can get some price comparisons for the same <a href="http://www.become.com/pacific-hydrostar-pressure-washer">pacific hydrostar pressure washer</a>, and then thirty seconds later buy a brand new wedding dress size 0 and pay for it all with PayPal? And then five seconds later get the up to date weather report for a country half-way around the world! What a great world this is!</p>
