Brother’s Birthday Gift

Reese — Sat, 12 May 2012 21:39:47 +0000

My brother’s birthday is coming up and I have been looking at mens leather briefcases!! If I’m not mistaken, my parents got him the one he’s carrying now when he graduated college back in the stone age. Well, it’s not that old but it looks like it. He’s one of those ‘what do you get because he’s got everything’ kinda guys and I think I finally found the perfect gift!

Industrial Supplies From Reid Supply

I’ve found a good website that has great deals on shims and other interesting and useful tools and hardware that I thought I’d pass along here. At reidsupply.com they have tons of good industrial supplies at decent prices and you can request a free catalog right on their homepage if you have the need or desire to. When I find a good thing I like to pass it along if I’m able and I’m really digging how this blog is making that possible.

Flea Market Deals

The flea markets are doing a booming business these past couple years. There are more people selling things in order to bring in extra money that is needed so badly by most of us, along with more people attending these bargain centers in an effort to get good deals with their hard earned money.

This economy is not lighting up as far as I (or anyone else) can tell. Although I’m hearing that more people are planning on going away for the Memorial Day weekend this year. It must be all the people that work for the banks and mortgage companies that got all of the “bail out monies” from our president.

Radial Engineering Guitars

It looks like I’m going ahead with the search for decent Radial Engineering Guitars to buy here real soon. My favorite niece’s high school graduation is fast approaching and I told her a few years back that when she did graduate that I would buy her the guitar of her choice and by god she managed to do real good in school and so now I’m happy to reward her on her special day.

I haven’t been to a high school graduation ceremony is such a long time. There has been a lag between that particular age group in the family. But soon we will be attending many more in the up and coming years and we always have great graduation parties and festivities for the graduates. I look forward to attending many, many more.

Gift Cards for Street Wear

Reese — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 00:46:18 +0000

The idea of giving my nephew a gift certificate for his birthday is becoming more and more appealing as I wonder around online looking at the type of street wear that he has requested for clothes this year. This is the first year that his “wish list” didn’t revolve around all the video games that he spends so much of his gaming with, so clothes are a fresh gift idea for him that I’m trying to run with. But I’m afraid that I’m just way too out of the loop in today’s trendy boy’s (I should really say young man, he is turning 16 this year) clothing in order to make a wise selection. So that is what gift cards all about out it seems and it seems to me that this situation requires just that.

My New Patio Cook Out Plans

Reese — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 01:03:33 +0000

The patio planters that I ordered are supposed to be coming in any day. This year I really plan on getting the patio completely done, organized, and decorated by Memorial Day so that I can have a few friends over for a nice cook out on my beautiful patio that I am so excited about to use this year. I’m so glad that my tax refund check allowed me to purchase a sun roof for it, so it’s all good to go except a few details and a good power wash before varnishing, hopefully that will happen the next week end or two.

Thank You Flowers

Reese — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 00:32:32 +0000

My sister-in-law is so thrilled with the dickies scrubs that I bought and gave to her on Christmas, so much that she just sent me a nice flower arrangement of the prettiest “spring time” flowers that are just perfect for this time of the year. Today was a perfect first day of spring. I throw open all the windows and doors in the house and enjoyed a nice cool spring breeze while also enjoying the thoughtful thank you flower arrangement from a great gal.

Playing With His New Welding Machine He Is

Reese — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 00:31:02 +0000

I’m glad to hear that my step-father is enjoying the millermatic welder that my brother and sister and I pooled our resources together to give to him for his birthday yesterday. My mother called to say that he had spent most of the day out in his shop playing (if you can call welding playing) with it, only to come it once for lunch before heading back out for more. It isn’t easy finding something that floats my step-father’s boat on gift giving occasion so this idea was a stroke of genius that my kid brother deserves a pat on the back for thinking of. Beats the heck out of the socks, slippers and ties that the old man is used to getting from us throughout the years.

Helping puppies get placed into homes

Guest post written by Rita Reese

I’ve been volunteering at a local animal shelter for a really long time now. I started doing that while I was in college to meet the service requirements of my sorority. Then I realized that I really enjoyed it and have been doing it in one capacity or another since then. I’ve had to switch shelters after moving and stuff like that, but it’s always been a whole lot of fun and a great way to make a difference.

Now something that I like to do in addition to helping out at the shelter is to also help foster puppies that are born in the shelter and don’t necessarily have the space to live in the shelter. I’m thinking about doing it a little more and have been looking at how it can impact my finances. I was looking up a lot of pet-related financial tips online when I saw some info on debt counseling. After I looked through it some I decided to get some counseling because I obviously have some financial issues.

I want to get a little more into puppy training so I can use that to earn a little extra money and get out of my financial issues. It’s going to take more than that, but I’ll figure it out.

Big Wheels Keep On Turning

Reese — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 23:18:56 +0000

I was hoping that my tax refund check was going to be a bit larger than it ended up being. I did my taxes online this year, but when the actually check was deposited into my account it wasn’t the amount that my computer said it would be. That really sucks.

I was hoping to be able to buy a new car this year. I’ve been spending a good amount of time on the computer looking at a variety of vehicles that have caught my eye. My father would like to see me in a mercedes benz cls, wouldn’t that be something? My mother would like to see me behind the wheel of her favorite car which happens to be an aston martin. Like that would really happen! I really like the looks of the new infiniti g37 myself. But reality keeps me in check and I do believe that when I’m ready I’ll be looking for a kia sorento, it’s a good deal all the way around and suits me just fine.

But for now my Honda Accord will hopefully keep me on the road until I can come up with some money in order to get myself a brand new vehicle.
