You have to check this out

I got this from a friend of mine and it’s the coolest thing I have ever seen.

HEMA is a Dutch department store. The first store opened November 4,1926, in Amsterdam. Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands .

Take a look at HEMA’s product page. You can’t order anything and it’s in Dutch but just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens. Don’t click on any of the products pictured, just wait and see what happens. Be sure you have your sound turned on.

This company has a sense of humor and a great computer programmer. All you have to do is go to http://producten.hema.nl/ and enjoy!!!

Seems like everyone’s getting in on it

All of a sudden, it seems like everyone in the development has had a security system installed in their home. I think it’s great too because it really makes the whole neighborhood a lot safer. The more security each home has, the less likely the development will become a target for break-ins. I have seen a lot of neighborhoods become targets and I would hate for that to be true here too.

Well one things for sure, ADT is making sure that most of the homes are safe and secure. Some people have gone with other systems but for my money, the most secure Home Security System is and has been ADT for many, many years. Everyone that I know who has them is very well pleased with not only the cost each month but also the service they receive from from ADT. In all honesty, can you put a price on security? I don’t think so.

Just in case

I know that I have told you about website hosting and how to find the best for the best price but I really think I should have been a bit more thorough than I was. Like I said before, choosing a web host is one of the most important things you have to consider when you are thinking about a web site of your own. Sure you can find cheap ones but are you getting your moneys worth? That’s the real question if you ask me. You have to be sure you’re getting the best you can.

Would you believe that they will even tell you which web hosts are Green? They sure will, there’s a tab you can hit called ‘Green web hosting.’ I think that’s wonderful because more and more places are becoming more and more aware of our environment. It’s about time is all I have to say about that. We all need to be more conscious of our planet.

ADT Alarms

Katelyn — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 12:15:13 +0000

My grandmother has ADT Home Security in her home at the beach. She also has a home here beside my father so he’s her alarm system here. She and my grandfather travel back and forth when ever they want and knowing that she has an ADT alarm system at her beach house, allows her to come home here without worrying that something might happen to her beach house. When they first got a place at the beach, someone broke into her home and had she not had some type home alarm systems, she could have lost everything. They notified the police, and even the fire department very quickly. In fact, who ever it was that broke in, left without a single thing.

My grandmother has a lot of antiques and other valuable things in this home so having adt alarms watching over her valuables ‘was the best thing she ever did’ she told me because they could have cleaned her out since she lives on a dead end street and the end and there isn’t always someone around her to help watch over her home. My grandfather has a heart condition too and since she has ADT, she knows that all she had to do is hit the panic button they provided her with and someone will be right there when she needs them. I know I sleep a lot better knowing they are protected by ADT.

Losing another friend

Katelyn — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 02:40:29 +0000

Well darn it if another of my friends isn’t moving away. I had talked with them about Direct TV and they contacted them about three weeks ago and had it installed. Then just this Friday, her husband found out that he was going to be transferred to New York because his job here was transferring. He either has to take his family and move or run the risk of being one of the many unemployed.

She was worried that she won’t be able to have Directv when she moves. She really loves the choices of packages and the prices too. I told her to check out Direct TV in New York and I bet she will be able to have it ready to install when she gets there. She thought it was a good idea too and said she would check that out as soon as she got home. That’s me, always ready to help a friend.

I hate flies!!!

Katelyn — Sun, 31 May 2009 01:24:24 +0000

There is nothing worse than a bunch of nasty flies flying around your house. Well now that I think about it, there is one thing worse than that. That would be going to a restaurant and having a bunch of flies bothering you constantly. The last time I went out to eat, I noticed a type of light and absolutely no flies. Come to find out, that light was for commercial or restaurant lights to eliminate flies.

I had to see the name brand on it because I wanted to see if I could get something like that for my home. What I found was a great web site that helps you to control flies with several different items and also the parts for them too. I’m not sure which item I’ll order yet but trust me, I’ll have one of them because I just hate flies!!!

I just love to snuggle up with a good movie

Katelyn — Sun, 31 May 2009 00:39:02 +0000

One of my favorite things to do is to snuggle up in bed with a good movie on the TV. Now that I have Direct TV, that’s what I end up doing most nights. I’ll take a nice hot shower, put on my jammies, hop in bed and turn the TV on. It’s not hard to find something I like to watch with Directv because of all of the channel choices they offer in their packages.

A good friend of mine also has satellite TV and her husband got a job offer in Florida. She was thrilled to find Direct TV in Florida and found out just how easy it was to have her service set up there so they would still be able to enjoy the same channels they did here. Oh sure the channels might be a different station but the packages and the programs were the same.

Hot weather will be here before we know it

Katelyn — Mon, 11 May 2009 16:11:19 +0000

I try to find ways to not only keep my home comfortable in the heat of summer but save a little money too. That’s why I love ceiling fans. Not only do they help you to save on your energy bill by keeping it feeling cooler with the thermostat set higher but they really add a lot to your home decor. I like ceiling fans that fit who I am. Sometimes that hard to find.

But you know, I always seem to be able to find just what I want in Hunter fans. They have been known as one of the best for a long time and last too. My parents had them in our house and some off brands and the Hunter ceiling fans lasted a lot longer than the others did. But if you’re looking for any brand, you’ll be able to find them online easily. In fact, the site I got mine from has a great selection and they even have a customization system that assists in configuring and ordering ceiling fans to your exact specifications with all the accessories you would want. Check them out and see.

Oh my goodness what a storm

Katelyn — Wed, 06 May 2009 04:08:26 +0000

I sure hope it’s not storming where you are like it is here. It sounds like my roof is trying to blow off and I’m not sure if we’re under a tornado watch or what but it’s not raining rain drops, it’s raining sheets of water. Do you know what I mean? Since I live by myself and it’s very late at night, I kinda get a bit scared when things like this happens. I’m so glad I started this blog because it’s like having a friend here with me through this.

Don’t get me wrong, I have plenty of friends that wouldn’t mind me calling them this time of night but I just don’t want to wake them if the storm hasn’t already. See, I’m a considerate person, sometimes! Oh crap I can see lightening out there so I better get off of here and unplug everything I don’t want to get messed up if the power surges. I sure hope you guys do that too. It just might save you a lot of money.

50th anniversary present

Katelyn — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 18:45:48 +0000

I have an Aunt and Uncle that are renewing their vows since they didn’t have a real church wedding all of those years ago. I think it’s wonderful since they are doing this for their 50th wedding anniversary. I have been thinking of something to get my Aunt and Uncle for a wedding present.

Since they are going on a cruise for a second honeymoon and we are not invited, I thought a new camera would be a great wedding gift. I have decided on a Canon EOS 30D. It has 8.2 mega-pixels CMOS sensor and DIGIC II Image Processor. It even has a 2.5 inch LCD Monitor so you can see what you are taking a picture of without having to put the camera up to your eye. At least if I get them one of those,everyone will get to see all we missed since we are being left home.
