So many places are only accepting job applications online these days, so if you don’t have access to a computer and are looking for a job you could really be in a bind. Of course you can always go to the library, but what a drag that is especially if there isn’t a library close at hand. Some places have a computer right there for you to use, but that must be a hassle, what with all of the information that is required that not everyone has stored in their memory and have written down on several pieces of paper here and there.
Anyway I stumbled across and interesting website that has tons of the applications that are available online that I have forwarded to several good folks that are looking for work, even those looking for mcdonalds jobs that are pretty easy to land and are usually hiring. This website is found at job-applications.com, pass it on folks. Anything that makes a job search easier can be a big help and truly appreciated, I can personally vouch for that.
Not too many people rely on their old rabbit ear antennas these days, most of us are used to subscribing from a cable or a satellite provider that enables us to receive numerous channels and much better reception due to their updated technologies. I remember growing up we heard about pay TV coming in the near future. The funny thing is that we envisioned having a coin box on top of the TV that we would have to put quarters into in order to watch TV. Much like the vibrating mattresses that we all fed coins into when sleeping in a motel back in the day. Boy did we get it all wrong and had no idea of tv pricing issues that we would have to deal with in the 21st century. We hadn’t even heard of debit cards back in those days for goodness sake.
These days is really pays to do your research about your TV options. With all of the Dish TV and Direct TV offers that are being put out there you really need to know about their products and packages before signing any contract. There is a TV war going on right now, providers are all about making you an offer that you can’t refuse, so the time is right to sign up or switch over to.
I’ve always have cable myself. My parents had cable and I just followed their lead, but I’ve been seeing some interesting promotions on TV about different providers and their offerings. So I plan on doing a bit of research myself and see what I can find is the best deal and best package for me and my needs and wants.

I was at a garage sale this morning and they had a huge collection of VHS tapes for .50 each! They had some of my all-time favorites, too! In the end, I decided not too because I don’t even have a VHS player, so how would I watch them? It was tough to pass them up, though. Does anyone still have a VHS player, or even watch VHS tapes, or is that a thing of the past? It kind of reminds me of a tape player; everyone uses CD’s now. All I ever see in stores is DVDs for movies, so I’m guessing VHS tapes are done. It was too bad, though, because like I said, that garage sale had an amazing collection. I have heard of some machines that convert VHS to DVD, but I don’t have one of those, and it’d probably be more money than it would be to just go buy the DVD. I actually have Direct TV in Berkeley, so I usually just watch movies On Demand at home.
My oldest sister has always looked after me, she has been more like a mother to me than my own mother. I remember telling (or yelling at) my real mother that back when I was 15 and it upset my mother so bad that she sent me up to my room and put me on restriction for two weeks. But a fact is a fact and nothing can change the truth. I still look towards my sister for just about everything, we text each other almost every day, use the Yahoo Instant Messenger, Facebook posts and chats as well as our cell phones help us keep in constant contact and communication with each other.
My sister has taught me the value of looking before you leap concept in so many areas in life. I remember her telling me in my teen years that if it sounds too good to be true that it usually is too good to be true, a saying that proves to be so true time after time after time. She is also the responsible for getting me into personal computers back in the 80′s when they were first being sold to the general public. Our first computers were Macintosh, I have always had a soft spot for Mac’s since then but had to move over to the IBM one and their clones because the majority of places that I worked at didn’t use Mac’s so it became such a challenge that I finally had to give up my Mac while she still buys from Apple exclusively.
Last Christmas we made a good team finding good gift ideas for everyone on our shopping lists and then hunting around finding the best deal possible, online of course and getting the best bang for our bucks. I had heard of a site that has great products for sale at nomorerack.com and before I turned my sister onto it I took a few minutes to find and read nomorerack reviews as well as Googled “nomorerack scam” to make sure that this was a reliable company to deal with. It really would have sucked to be swindled during the holiday season, something that I can’t even imagine happening but certainly hear stories each year confirming that it does indeed happen, all to frequently, sigh…..
Anyway – nomorerack.com turned out to be a great site that helped us find a good amount of our gifts at affordable prices and Christmas went off without a hitch. My sister and I bought computer web cams for each other so that now we can actually see each other when we want to. Since she moved to San Diego I don’t get to see her as often as I would like. Sisters were not meant to be separated by such long distances but at least today’s technology gives us a lot of options to keep in touch.
I’ve heard that there are companies out there that are willing to pay you to blog. This is something that I’d be interested in finding more information about. Not sure how many companies are offering compensation for blogging but I’ll keep you posted on my progress!
