			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was talking a couple of days ago about getting out some.  Well a good friend of mine was telling me about the local Disabled American Veterans Post (DAV) and how they play bingo on Sundays.  The money goes to help disabled veterans in the community and also to help the wives of active service men who are in need too.   Imagine that, I can have fun and help veterans too.  I love it. <a href="http://newsblaze.com/story/2008091610330300007.pnw/topstory.html" target="_blank"> Bingo for Charity</a> is everywhere around here and I think it&#8217;s a great thing.  A lot of churches, Veterans of Foreign War Posts (VFW) and other places participate in those types of charities.</p>
<p>Now I have never gone into an <a href="http://www.888ladies.com/" target="_blank">online bingo </a>site to see if they do the same thing but I might now since I have realized just how much bingo does help others.  There are so many in need these days that we all need to find a way to pitch in and help those less fortunate than us.  If you can also have fun doing it, it sure makes people want to participate more.  Who benefits, those in need are the ones that benefit and that&#8217;s the way it should be.  Well, that&#8217;s my opinion anyway.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m sure you hate vacuuming as much as I do.  It&#8217;s about my least favorite chore out of all of the housework I have to do.  Thank goodness my old vacuum died because now I&#8217;m looking to buy a <a href="http://www.shop.com/robotic+vacuum" target="_blank">robotic vacuum</a>.   I really expected for them to be more expensive than they are but I was pleasantly surprised when I found out they were around $150 depending on the model you get.</p>
<p>One of the best features about this is that I don&#8217;t have to stand there and push a vacuum back and forth, it does all of the work for me.  The best place I found to get the best price was online of course.  I find all sorts of bargains on great items there.  I would love to meet the man or company that invented the robotic vacuum.  I would give them a big hug and a kiss for it.  Thanks Shop.com!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A friend of mine is starting up a new business.  She asked me for help with printing up business cards.  There are a lot of printing companies around here but they are sort of expensive.  When you are just starting out, you need to pinch pennies any way you can so there&#8217;s a better chance of your business making a profit as soon as possible instead of flopping.  You know what I mean?</p>
<p>Well after doing a lot of searching for her, I found the perfect <a href="http://www.psprint.com" target="_blank">printing</a> shop that will not only print up some great business cards, but won&#8217;t take her to the bank just to get them.  Places like Kinko&#8217;s are great but at the same time, you really need to watch everything you spend and that&#8217;s why I suggested she check out this site online.  She&#8217;ll save money on gas and still get quality printing just like she would locally.  In fact, they can print up just about anything she needs like fliers, announcements for her opening and even anything else she can think of that might help her get off to a good start.  I really wish her all the luck in the world and am glad I could help.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My great-grandfather used to collect coins.  He had a few old gold coins that my father now has.  Because of that, my father wanted to  <a href="http://www.goldcoinsgain.com" target="_blank">buy gold coins</a> as an investment just like my great-grandfather did.   Everyone thinks of necklaces and things like that when you <a href="http://www.goldcoinsgain.com" target="_blank">buy gold</a> but there are a lot of different ways to buy gold.</p>
<p>Did you know that you can <a href="http://www.goldcoinsgain.com" target="_blank">buy gold bullion</a>?  Well you can.   With the economy in the mess it&#8217;s in and the way the stock market keeps going up and then back down, maybe you should think about how to <a href="http://www.goldcoinsgain.com" target="_blank">buy bullion</a> instead of playing the stock market.  It&#8217;s a thought and not too bad of one it seems.  I might check into how to  I can <a href="http://www.goldcoinsgain.com" target="_blank">buy gold coin</a> myself, just one to start with anyway.  I&#8217;ll try to buy one every so often and who knows, I just might be able to have quite a little stash for when I retire.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know that I have told you about <a href="http://webhostinggeeks.com">website hosting</a> 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&#8217;s the real question if you ask me.  You have to be sure you&#8217;re getting the best you can.</p>
<p>Would you believe that they will even tell you which web hosts are Green?  They sure will, there&#8217;s a tab you can hit called &#8216;<a href="http://webhostinggeeks.com/greenwebhosting.html" target="_blank">Green web hosting</a>.&#8217;  I think that&#8217;s wonderful because more and more places are becoming more and more aware of our environment.  It&#8217;s about time is all I have to say about that.  We all need to be more conscious of our planet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that it&#8217;s July, if people haven&#8217;t made their summer vacation plans, they sure are thinking about it now.  One thing that could be stopping them from making those plans could be credit card debt or other debt.  There are a lot of people in need of <a href="http://www.consolidatedcredit.org" target="_blank">debt consolidation </a>right now and just don&#8217;t know who to turn to or who to trust.  That&#8217;s the hardest part, who to trust with so many of them out there now.  Well a dear friend of mine used Consolidatedcredit.org and was thoroughly pleased with them.  They not only offer debt consolidation but they also offer services like debt management and help with credit card debt too.</p>
<p>One of the things that really impressed me about them is the fact that they offer <a href="http://www.consolidatedcredit.org/debt-learning-center/vacation-budgeting.aspx" target="_blank">family vacation budgeting</a> which is through their debt learning center.  You would be surprised just how many people have no idea of how to plan for a family vacation by budgeting their money.  I personally have a plastic coffee can that I put all of my change in every day and when it&#8217;s about vacation time, I get it all out, roll it up and that determines how good of a vacation I&#8217;ll have.  Not totally but it can mean the difference between staying at my grandmothers at the beach or renting a motel room somewhere else.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My neighbor two doors down has 5 children and a beautiful home.  I just heard that her husband died suddenly of a heart attack and she didn&#8217;t even know there was a problem with his heart.  I hope and pray for her sake that they had <a href="http://www.financialone.com/insurance/mortgage-insurance.php" target="_blank">mortgage life insurance</a> on their home.  A lot of people don&#8217;t think of that type of life insurance.  If they didn&#8217;t have it, she&#8217;ll possibly lose everything.</p>
<p>One things my grandmother told me when I bought my home was to make sure I <a href="http://www.financialone.com/insurance/mortgage-insurance.php" target="_blank">insure my mortgage</a> so that should I have children, they will not have to leave the only home they have ever known and lose not just a parent, but their home as well.  We are only promised the here and now and just like this woman&#8217;s husband, you can be here one minute and gone the next.  The best you can hope for in a situation like that is that you have enough coverage to protect your family home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of the ladies at work just kept their purses and other things they have brought with them in a drawer or cabinet at their desk.  Well it seems that someone took one of our ladies purses the other day.  We don&#8217;t think it was anyone that works here.  It was probably one of the cleaning people that come in early or a client.  Because of that, they are now installing <a href="http://www.morelockers.com" target="_blank">lockers</a> for us. Oh they&#8217;re not the ones like we had for <a href="http://www.morelockers.com" target="_blank">school lockers</a>, they&#8217;re really nice <a href="http://www.morelockers.com" target="_blank">wooden lockers</a> so they will add to the decor.</p>
<p>I was really hoping they wouldn&#8217;t look like when had put in a gym and now had <a href="http://www.morelockers.com" target="_blank">gym lockers</a> in the back and luckily, these are really nice.  I know that might sound a bit silly to you but like I have always said, I like the finer things in life so when they started looking for <a href="http://www.morelockers.com" target="_blank">lockers for sale</a>, I was holding my breath.  But you know what?  I do feel like my belongings are a lot safer now by putting them in a <a href="http://www.morelockers.com" target="_blank">locker</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The worst part about moving is trying to find good <a href="http://www.zmoving.com/" target="_blank">moving companies</a>.  After all, they are responsible of moving everything you own more or less and you want to make sure you find good movers that have a good reputation and will take care of your stuff through the move.  I have heard too many horror stories from people that have had nightmares with some <a href="http://www.movers-moving-companies.com/" target="_blank">movers</a>.  Did you know that there is a company that actually has <a href="http://www.granot.com/" target="_blank">moving software</a>?  Well there is.  I was surprised too.</p>
<p>I know a lot of people use <a href="http://www.freemovingquote.com/movers/budget_van_lines.htm" target="_blank">budget van lines</a> for their moves and there are several to choose from too.  I have used them too but one thing is for sure, before you decide on which one to hire, you should check out the <a href="http://feedback.budgetvanlines.com/" target="_blank">budget van lines</a> before you make your choice.  Ask a neighbor who they used or if they have ever used anyone to move them.  Check online too.  That&#8217;s the best place to find a lot of different <a href="http://www.movers-moving-companies.com/forum_budget_van_lines.html" target="_blank">budget van lines</a> but the best way most of the time is word of mouth so ask someone or check out someones blog if you know of one that talks about moving.  Just a little friendly advice you might want to use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am so sick of cable!  Every other month it seems like they add some new charge to my bill and my Internet service keeps going up too.  What&#8217;s up with that?  There&#8217;s never any explanation, just the new charge and I&#8217;m sick of it.  Because of that I&#8217;m switching to <a href="http://www.tvbydirect.com/" target="_blank">Direct TV</a>.  In fact, I grew up with Direct TV at home and I honestly miss having it.  The only reason I had cable was because my stupid ex-husband wanted it instead of Direct TV.  Shows how smart he was, huh?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been checking out the <a href="http://www.tvbydirect.com/" target="_blank">Direct TV deals</a> online.  They have some really good <a href="http://www.tvbydirect.com/ " target="_blank">Direct TV offers</a> right now too.  In fact, they always have good deals.  I can get it hooked up in as many rooms as I want or need and it doesn&#8217;t cost me out the ying-yang like the cable did.  In fact, I can have it installed in up to 4 rooms for free.  Plus I can get a free DVR or HD receiver too.  My cable charged me extra for my DVR.  I was checking out their <a href="http://www.tvbydirect.com/directv-programming/" target="_blank">Direct TV packages</a> and I can get more channels for less than I have been paying too.  That totally sealed the deal for me.  In fact, I&#8217;m calling them today and telling cable goodbye because after all, Direct TV is Americas #1 satellite provider!</p>
