LogicBUY--It is only logical!!!!

Hey, it has been a long time since I've blogged about anything but I found a great site that I've got to get the word out about. LogicBUY! I thought I had let all the XBox 360 deals pass me by when I decided to go searching on the internet. I came across LogicBUY. Not only did I find a great deal with Dell for the XBox, I got it for a cheaper price than any locally advertised price, including Black Friday deals. No staying up all night in line for me!!!! Besides that, I ordered it and received it in less than 5 days--with free shipping! Go now to http://www.LogicBUY.com and see what deals are waiting for you.

Jesus on Spoon--Not!!!




First of all--how does anyone know what Jesus looked like? We know there are no photos of Him. Have drawings been found? The only images I know of are artists' depictions of Him done centuries after He was living on Earth. In addition, look at the picture of Che Guevara below. Doesn't he look like the image in the spoon? Finally, we should not be looking for images of Jesus in things! We should be looking for Him in people's lives! He should be living in each of us!!!!

Back to fixing up the house

It is so hard to believe that it has been almost a year since I started having work done around the house. New carpet, new interior paint, a new flat roof over my den and a remodeled bathroom sure made my house look a lot better. But it wasn't done then and it still isn't done now--but more is being done. Two new front windows have changed the way the front of my house looks plus it has kept a lot of air conditioning from escaping my house to the outside world. My bathroom and dressing room just got some new tile and a leak in my shower is getting fixed. I hope to put my house up for sale in the near future, but the more that gets done to it to make it look nicer, the more I'll hate to sell it. Well, the way the market is in South Florida, it might not sell!

Avand Plumbing Courses

I love taking courses. As a teacher, I am constantly taking courses to learn new techniques and strategies to become better at what I do. In fact, I just finished a fantastic course where I was taught strategies to help me motivate my students to become more respectful people. I have already been putting some of my new learned strategies into action and have seen a difference in some of my students. Have you ever thought about taking courses to get better at your profession or to learn a new trade? If I was thinking about a new trade, I might think about becoming a plumber. Avand offers intensive 4 week Plumbing Courses that teaches all you need to know about becoming a plumber. I know plumbers make a lot more than teachers--so maybe I should still look into it. If you're thinking about becoming a plumber, you should take a look at Avand.

Weightwatchers

Hey--I've been on Weightwatchers for about 3 weeks and it hasn't been that bad. In fact, I've lost 3 1/2 lbs and I'm eating a lot healthier. I weigh in again tomorrow. I have to be honest, though. This week hasn't been so good. I've had a couple of bad days. With weightwatchers, you're supposed to eat so many dairy products a day, as well as vegetables and fruits. In addition, you need to drink lots of water and make sure you get your fiber in. It is a point system--which really isn't the hard part. It's making sure you get in all of those other things. It was hard to get vegetables in some of the time. I didn't have any salad or other vegetable in the house. So, I have a feeling I did not lose as much this week. In fact, I may not have lost anything. I just hope I didn't gain! Besides that, I need to get on an exercise routine. I can actually join a gym for free with my health insurance plan. It's just doing it!!!!

Managing Debt

I would love to win a contest that was giving away a lot of money so I can pay off all my debt. My mortgage, car loan and credit card bills just never seem to go away. Well, my chances are slim for winning any money so I have to take hold of my own life and get out of debt on my own. Bankruptcy is not the right answer! Working things out is. I have had some financial situations in the past few years causing me to get in debt. The good thing is that I always make my payments on time and keep the credit cards out of my purse so the balances only get lower. They are definitely going down--slow but sure. If I don't have enough money to purchase something, that means I can't afford it and I don't purchase it. I used to not be like that. If I wanted something, I took out the old plastic. Plus, I was late with payments from time to time. I'm so glad that I finally came to my senses and only purchase what I can afford--with money--not plastic and pay my bills on time. At times, some of us need help in managing our debt. If you feel you can't do as I am and you need help managing your debt, you may need an IVA. Don't give up--there is a way out!!!

I read through some of the tips and read several reader comments, and everything is positive and informative. If you're looking for some good info, check it out!

Daydream Believer



I just read where John Stewart, the writer of this number 1 song by the Monkees, just passed away. Boy, does that song bring back memories. When I was a young teenager, it was my favorite song. I used to collect Monkee cards which were just like baseball cards with bubble gum. My friends and I would get up early and go to school an hour before it started just so we could walk way out of the way to a 7-11 in order to get some of the cards.

Prime Dating Sites

I have never tried using a dating site to hook me up with other Singles, but now I might. I have found the perfect informational site which gives thorough reviews and links to various dating sites. For example, you can check out reviews of eHarmony.com along with another one called Lavalife.com , as well as several others. Once you check out the reviews, you can make an informed decision as to which one would be best for your needs. What a great way to compare sites! It is much easier than going on Google and searching one by one.

One other contest that is on the site is a puzzle contest. By completing the puzzle, you also have a chance to win a gift card. Maybe we can win!

Tribes

I have been part of the best workshop over the past couple of days. It is called Tribes. It is a workshop for teachers and school personnel to help ourselves and then, in turn, help students become better people. The main things that are focused are: active listening, no put downs/show appreciation and mutual respect. I will continue with an update of this workshop with more details after it is over on Tuesday. You know it must be pretty good if I am enjoying it even though I had to take one and a half of my teacher workdays and a Saturday to take the course.

Rate my photo!



I took this picture from my hotel room when I went to St. Louis last year. I'd love it if you'd go to www.picture.com and rate it for me. I want to win a $50 Visa gift certificate. I'm desperate! (Not really; but, I wouldn't mind a little extra cash.)

Faith, Family, Friends

If you read my earlier post, you may think all I think about is money. I really don't. I'm happy here on this great earth. I have tons of blessings--my faith, my family and my friends. If making millions took any one of those things away, I wouldn't want it. (I wouldn't mind, however, if I had a little extra money just to make ends meet each month without having to rob Peter to pay Paul!)

I want millions, too!!!!


The other night I was having trouble sleeping so I turned on the T.V. The show I started watching was "How I Made My Millions". I don't know if a show like that is uplifting or depressing. It is exciting to see how people took a simple idea, which then took off, and now they are millionaires. However, it's depressing, too, because I don't feel I have what it takes to take the risk these people did nor do I feel I know how to go about manufacturing and marketing an idea. I come up with ideas all of the time. For example, when my children were infants, I thought it would be much better if the infant carrier I was using was also a car seat. Within a couple of years, all infant carriers were car seats. I think of the times, when I was in college, where I took scotch tape, wrapped it around my hand with the sticky side out, then used it to go over my clothes to get the lint off. Now someone is a millionaire because they created the lint roller. Why didn't I think of that?!?!?! I'm sure you have felt the same. Hopefully, I'll write on my blog some day about my great invention that has made millions. But, don't hold your breath!

Human Touch Quality Massage Chairs

I just found the best Massage Chair! Because of its innovative technology, it is one that offers a human-like massage that feels close to one given by massage professionals. The chair is so much better than the massage pads that are available at your local drug store because with the Human Touch Massage Chair you can get a full-body massage which follows the contours of your spine and body from your neck to your feet. There are several settings that you can program in order to customize the massage for your unique needs. Sore, tight muscles--no problem, help is just a click away. That is, if you're sitting in a Human Touch Massage Chair. Why not go to www.humantouch.com and check out what is available for yourself.

88 and going strong!

Mom and Ed

It is so amazing how my mom is able to do what she does at the ripe old age of 88. After my dad died in 2000, I wondered how she would handle everything. She did so much for him and I knew she had a major void in her life. Less than a year later, since I'm divorced with kids, we decided it would be good to buy a house together. But it wasn't long until she met a man at church (2 years younger than her) and, before you knew it, she began a life of wedded bliss. I tell everybody that she eloped to get away from my kids and me. She definitely became much happier living with him than with us! Even though she has been through many health issues, she keeps on going strong. She even makes my son and me dinner once a week. I hope I have half her energy when and if I get to be her age. (I really don't think I'll make it!)

Complete Prescription Eyeglasses Online

It's amazing what's available online nowadays! I'm excited to find out there is a site you can actually get complete prescription eyeglasses. I came across aGreat Discovery: www.ZenniOptical.com. The prices and the selection of frames are unbelievable. They offer all types of lenses, too. Bi-focal, progressive, tinted, scratch-resistant and more are available. Some at no extra cost. They can offer such low prices because they sell their own manufactured frames direct to the customer without a middleman. I know the next time I plan on purchasing prescription glasses, I'm checking out www.ZenniOptical.com.

This is why I love South Florida!



How many places are there where you can walk out your front door and see a flock of ibises flying down the street? There is nothing like it! South Florida has so much to offer. Great weather and great sites--natural highs. I love this place!
