Looking for a new vacuum
I’m sure you hate vacuuming as much as I do. It’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’m looking to buy a robotic vacuum.  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.
One of the best features about this is that I don’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!

Sounds like a good idea to me
On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any new government-run health plan. It took me less than a minute to sign up to require our congressmen and senators to drink at the same trough! Three cheers for Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana !
Congressman John Fleming (Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same health care plan they force on us (under proposed legislation they are curiously exempt).
Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go on his Website and sign his petition (very simple – just first, last and email). I have immediately done just that at: http://fleming.house.gov/index.html. Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!
If Congress forces this on the American people, the Congressmen should have to accept the same level of health care for themselves and their families.

When money is tight!!
I know of a lot of people that have had to take jobs with less pay than they received before they were laid off just to have something coming in, something to hopefully survive with until something better comes along. Unfortunately, with cooler weather coming in now, a lot of people are in need of help with heating costs. Saving money is a must too now. If you’re lucky enough to set things up so your expenses aren’t as high, then you’re one of the lucky ones and these guys just might be able to help you learn how to do just that.
Still other people need help with payday loans to make it through the month. Luckily there are a lot of options with payday loans now too. I can’t think of anyone that hasn’t needed help from time to time when an unexpected expense arises. We all have them unfortunately. Then there are the holidays coming and a lot quicker than a lot of us would like. There are a lot of cheap presents you can find that will not only make others happy, but help you to spread the Christmas cheer in your home. Nothing makes most people feel better than seeing someone happy with what you have purchased for them but it doesn’t have to be expensive. Don’t forget that.

I like his philosophy!!
There are several ways to look at life and this college professor has the best philosophy I have ever heard. What do you think?
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded with a unanimous ‘yes.’
The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
‘Now,’ said the professor as the laughter subsided, ‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things—your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions—and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else—the small stuff.
‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued, ‘there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first—the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented.
The professor smiled and said, ‘I’m glad you asked.’ The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

There’s something about shoes
You know how women are when it comes to shoes, well I’m no different. I love shoes. The best thing is when I can find what I need that not only looks great, but also saves me money. Just imagine finding the perfect pair of boots from Columbia and save money too. Oh that’s shoe heaven to me. Boots aren’t all you will find there either. In fact, just about any type of shoes you are looking for, you’ll probably find something you like here.
Shoes for women are not all they carry either, they also carry boots for men and shoes for them too. Not to mention, they also carry clothing and shoes for children. Columbia is one of my favorite brands when I’m looking for sporting type shoes like hiking boots or casual shoes that I can wear with my jeans. There’s nothing cuter than a little boy with hiking boots on with his overalls if you ask me.
