Get Yourself A Home Energy Audit

Reese — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 20:19:34 +0000

Now is a good time to have someone come out and see just how energy efficient your home is. The cold weather is hitting us harder with each waking day and it will only get colder and colder from here. The cost of heating our homes has sky rocketed and having an home energy audit is a great way to find out what you can do in order to make your home less costly to heat, as well as air conditioned come the hot weather months.

I had my home looked at last year and they were the ones that prompted me to purchase and have installed my energy efficient windows that I am so happy with. And I got a good tax break from getting them as well, so it was well worth the time and money that I spent on them, especially when I get my heating and a/c utility bill now. There are lots of companies that will come out and do this service for you. I used the Homeenergyteam.com website and it worked quick and easy like for me so I feel comfortable passing this information along here today.

Kid Brother Taking The Online EA Exam

Reese — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 01:40:45 +0000

This news kind of came out of no where, my kid brother has decided to go to work for the I.R.S. of all places. Not really sure how I feel about this. I mean just like everything else in life, there is good and bad involved, but I don’t want to really dwell too much on that at this time until I see and learn a whole lot more about it.

Right I’m interested in how he is going to go about all of this. From what I understand you have to study and pass what they call an enrolled agent examination, which is pretty tough and I’ve not known my kid brother to be all that smart, but maybe that is because he is my kid brother and see him in a totally different light than most people. I am happy to know that their is plenty of help on the Internet to help him study and prepare for this enrolled agent exam. He has found a site that has all the enrolled agent study guide offers that he will need in this new controversial adventure that he is about to take part in.

All in all I guess it will be good to have someone in the family connected with the I.R.S, but my kid brother, oh my!

Dog Tags

Just got a letter from the county telling me that I need to send them $10 to register and license myone little house dog. They must have got the information from the vet that I took her to last month. It’s all about the money, a dollar here and a dollar there, sigh….

Those Nasty Restroom Germs

Reese — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 15:39:30 +0000

I had to give a ride to a friend to go to Social Services yesterday. While we were waiting for her case worker to come for her I had to use the ladies room and wasn’t happy with what I experienced one bit. I have an issue with restrooms that do not provide a hook for us to women to hand our pocket books and/or jackets on. There is nothing worse than having to put these items on the dirty nasty floor and I have become very vocal about that issue.

Besides not having a hook they did not offer any paper towels to use to dry our hands and to use to open the door. This particular restroom even had a sign posted asking to please turn out the light upon leaving. There is no way that I am going to put my newly cleaned hands on a dirty germ infested door knob and light switch. Now I do have to say that they did have one of the electric hand dryers installed, which is all well and good but that doesn’t provide me with anything to use to open the door and turn off the light. These restroom hand dryers are a great way to dry your hands but I truly think that they also need to have paper towels for exactly the reasons that I have listed.

So after leaving the restroom I asked the lady behind the counter if I could speak to the office manager and was happy to find that the manager come out in only a matter of minutes. I explained the situation to her and she said she would make sure a hook was put it ASAP. But when it came to the paper towel issue she explained that they had to install one of the commercial hand dryers because people were coming in there and stealing them and/or trashing the place with them and that they could not afford to keep replacing them and cleaning up the mess each day. What a shame that this has become an issue. She did offer me some hand sanitizer which I promptly accepted, but I’m still not a happy camper at the whole situation.

Another Learning Adventure Online

Reese — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 13:25:04 +0000

I think that it is pretty cool that in Canada you can find services that will assist with people that need to remove criminal record listings and help with the canadian pardon application that is available to their citizens. I never knew that that was an option until I stumbled onto a site that advertises these services. Oh how I love the Internet and all the things that I learn from it almost on a daily or weekly basis, how did we ever live and survive without it?

I have always been interested in taking a trip into Canada and see what it is all about. I don’t speak any French, but from what I understand that shouldn’t be an issue in most of Canada. The other issue is that I HATE the cold, but I’ve recently learned that isn’t always cold up there either as I always thought.

So if you have any interest in learning about the removal of criminal record canada style you can go to pardonservicescanada.com and see what that is all about and learn something new for the day as well. They have a lot of intersting stuff there.

Growing Old

Reese — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 14:19:36 +0000

I can tell you that there isn’t much to look forward to in getting old these days. I hear so much about about our seniors being totally confused about the health care that they are entitled to when they retire that it makes me a bit crazy to think that one day I’ll be trying to figure it all out myself. I hear that medicare part d is a real mind blower, so I was thinking that maybe I should be trying to get familiar with it for myself ahead of time, but then I think that it will be totally different by the time my time comes so why bother.

There is so much information out there on the Internet that is supposed to help people figure all of this out. But what if you still can’t get it straight? What if you don’t have any friends or relatives that are able to help out with situations like these? I don’t want to get old.

Well You Could Have Fooled Me

Reese — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 00:22:40 +0000

Right after the hurricane the word on the street (and on the news) was that the price of gas was going to drop because so many flights had been cancelled and so many folks were not driving so that there was a huge supply of gas not being tapped into. Of course when this happens they have to lower the cost, you know the whole supply and demand thing. But you could have fooled me on this since around here the price of gas just went up by ten cents a gallon!

Weddings and Money

Reese — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 19:10:21 +0000

There sure seems to be a lot on TV these days pertaining to weddings, big weddings, big expensive weddings. This just blows my mind. In times when people are losing their jobs, their homes and many things that we have worked hard for and have enjoyed up until our government screwed up things and the economy is in crisis, that people are out there spending tens and thousands of dollars on a wedding that lasts one whole day.

Honestly I don’t think that I could do something like while there are people out there in such desperate circumstances. Bad karma.

Non Profitting Down In The Nation’s Capitol

Reese — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 22:09:07 +0000

It looks like I’ll be attending the Non Profit Human Resources Conference over the weekend of October 9 – 11 with my buddy Charley who is looking into a nonprofit career in the Washington D.C. area. He is paying for the trip and the conference, along with all the other expenses other than any souvenirs or nick knacks that I decide I can’t live without taking back home from our Nation’s Capitol. Since I don’t have a lot of money to throw around these days I don’t see an issue with me filling up with car on the way back home with too much stuff, but apparently Charley doesn’t see it that way. Charley has known me for a very long time and still holds memories of days gone by when we both had more than enough money to splurge on frivolous things such as souvenirs.

He has been looking at nonprofit jobs for some time now and has found several non profit jobs online on some of the websites that cater to the non profit employers and job seekers that do a good job of matching up the two, unfortunately he just hasn’t matched up to anything that has “floated his boat” as he is so good at saying. At least he is working right now and it isn’t a crisis, but he is anxious and his current job is getting under his skin more often than not and I hate to see him so miserable so many times during week, always about something going on at work.

Payday Loans Online – Quick and Easy Like

Reese — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 22:05:45 +0000

It might just come to applying for one of the payday loans online that I’ve been hearing about the past few years since the economy fell straight into the toilet bowl. And I’m very saddened about the fact that it seems that someone has attempted to flush the darn thing and didn’t jiggle the handle, so now we are stuck hearing the water running. Wow, that felt good letting that out, and believe me I could have gone on, actually I did, but I ended up erasing it before I really got off track.

Guess you could say that I’ve had a rough kind of day. I am so upset about the fact that so many of my lenders have gotten hold of my cell phone number. As fast as I can block their number, they come up with another one and another one and another one…..I’ve gotten tired of that time consuming game. I don’t mind them calling, but not my cell phone. I don’t have all that many minutes on my current plan, time is money and I seem to have run out of both about now.

I really wanted to pay off a couple of my credit cards with my tax refund this year. I managed to sent a chunk of it in, but there were other things that I needed and a few things that I really wanted that some of the money went to. But that seems to be the way to go each year when Uncle Sam pays me the money that he had used for free all year, plus some. The cash never lasts long and I know that it will be there (hopefully) next year.

Anyway, I really and interested in getting some things under control so I spent some time looking at the various options out there to be utilized via the Internet. So of course payday loans online can be 100% processed online. These short term loans are helping a lot of people these days and I want to deal with one that the process is as simple as possible and of course I want the best rate that I can get. It shouldn’t take long to figure out and I’ll let you know how it all pans out.
