Just discovered one of the risks of putting advertising code on your blog without keeping a close eye on it. I have one blog that I allow banner advertising to run via an advertising network. When setting up permissions for the ad space I only allow ads to run after I take a look at them and pre-approve them, and I am glad I do. Today I had just one ad to look at and I was shocked to see it was 2 banners for porn sites in a language other than English. I have never seen that ad network have... Read Full Story

You hear of so many people that either have to or decided to go back to only living with the basics of life. That means no fancy foods or eating out, no loans or credit cards, no fancy big gas guzzling car, no designer clothes, and cutting back on cable and electronics.
Yet cell phones have replaced many laptop and desk top computers and eating out or not might not be a choice for a single person who cannot afford to stock up on food for the freezer. Basics are different for each family... Read Full Story

No sooner is Christmas and New Years Day are over, out comes the Valentines Day stuff and Super Bowl party decorations in our local Walmart. I don't know about you but I am starting to feel a bit pushed along. The Valentines stuff takes up 4 isles and is a bit over the top this year. How many stuffed pink animals can one person own? I think I would go for personalized gifts for boyfriend s, husband, wives and girlfriends rather than an off the shelf box of candy with a stuffed animal. It... Read Full Story

There is a house around the corner from me that was built in the 1880's. It was recently bought by a young couple who completely renovated it. The house needed extensive work. It needed floors and it is a 2 story house, new windows and doors as well as a balcony that was missing.
They did a wonderful job. It took several months for them to complete the work and they lived in a travel trailer next to the house while they were there. Then came the shock.
I was driving by the house and... Read Full Story

It is no secret that companies do some research on potential employees nowadays. One of the first places they often look is Facebook. If you are looking for work there are a few things you can do, first is to set your personal page to private so only your friends and relatives can view your posts and photos. Next you can create a page just for employers to visit. This would be strictly for you to promote yourself and your career. It should remain separate from your personal page. It is the...

In today’s economy I guess I’m just lucky to have a job. However, it is incredibly difficult to happy with my company when I have to uproot my family from the only town and home that they have ever known and move them half way across the country all because the bosses want to move. Oh well, my wife and I have always said that as long as the family is all together, we can be happy anywhere. So here we go, off on a cross-country adventure. With a new place... Read Full Story

You have perhaps seen those ads on TV for couponsuzy.com a place to get store coupons. I checked it out and I am warning you to steer clear of that website and here is why.
A tried to print out at least 3 of the coupons on the website and came up to a page that said I needed to install their coupon printer -WTF!! I have printed many, many coupons off of websites and used them without problems so why do they need to have me install some software on my computer? That was a big red flag so I... Read Full Story
