That makes me nervous

posted by:

David was telling me that he was thinking about partnering with Merle in a cash advance affiliate program that he found out about through Blue Global Media. Apparently he was impressed by their website, and he thinks that with his Business degree and Merle’s accounting degree that they can make a success out of the venture.

I’m a little bit nervous about the venture because I’ve heard that some states are thinking about making payday loans illegal, but David and Merle are confident that won’t happen in this state. They are already picking out their storefront site and talking about payday loan leads and are very excited about the whole thing. I hope that they are not biting off more than they can chew!

Charming flowers

Guest post by Linda Bradshaw

Right before Christmas my mother decided that she wanted me to accompany her to a fantastic display up at the Shenandoah Caverns. The display was of historical parade floats, and antique
Christmas window displays from storefronts.

Having always been fascinated by things like that, I readily agreed, although I would have preferred doing it after Christmas. Nonetheless, we went up there and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the window displays. One of the things that I really appreciated was the fact that the main room of the window displays was decorated with artificial flowering wisteria hanging from garden arbors.

The effect of the flowers climbing the arbors was very effective, and it made the entire room feel charming and romantic and old fashioned. The display has inspired me to put an arbor on my “wish list” for the landscaping plans for the side yard of the house.

Slipcovers

One of the things that I like to do is change the looks of the throw pillows that I keep on the sofa. Years ago I was given a set of decorative throw pillows that were a Christmas theme. When Christmas was over, I decided that I really did not have a good place to store them, so I made some slip covers to put over them. That way I can continue to use the pillows year round, and if the pillows get soiled I can just take off the slip covers and throw them into the washer and dryer.

Today would have been my great-grandmother birthday

Too many times we forget the birthday of our loved ones that have passed away.  That’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.

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.

Hit or miss

Ever since my girlfriend told me about all of the great nomorerack insanity deals I have missed, I’ve been trying to remember to go online to their website to grab some for myself. All of the nomorerack reviews I’ve read indicate that it is a fun and cheap way to get merchandise online. So far I’d have to agree that the bargains are outstanding, and what adds to the excitement of it is the fact that you never know whether you are going to score a great bargain that day or not. Kind of like a hit or miss type of deal. Don’t get me wrong, everything is a bargain there, what you don’t know is whether you are going to be able to scarf up one of the insanity deals, or even better one of the free deals!

This afternoon I went online around one hour after they put their deals up online and saw that their free deal was already sold out! Darn it, missed it this time! I’ll have to try to remember to go online at noon to check out the new deals and hope that they have something great then!
