I’ve been spending some time online looking for Diaper Bags and Changing Tables. We are holding a surprise baby shower for a co worker and I have been put in charge of finding the perfect gift from 3 of us that want to go in together and get her something decent but affordable that we can pitch in together and purchase for her.
She doesn’t really need any Nursery or Furniture items, so that is a plus, we couldn’t afford anything like that but there are plenty of Babies and Toddlers items that we could pool our money together to get for her. This is her second child so she does have plenty of items left over from the first one, which is a good thing. Babies are expensive and it adds up real quick like.
Since she doesn’t plan on Nursing and Feeding the baby from her god given breasts there are bottle items to consider, but those don’t cost much and I’m sure she will be getting a variety of those types of products from a variety of sources.
Planning a surprise baby shower isn’t easy, but I think that we can pull it off. It will be fun and I look forward to seeing the look on her face when we catch her off guard next month. It’s all good!
I was surfing the Internet and ran across a site by Goldline International that I found some interesting reading about some of our precious metals silver and gold. You would have to be living under a rock some where in a very remote location not to know that the prices for gold and silver have been steadily on the rise. Most of us are very familiar with the commercials that are all over the TV these days that are telling us to send them our unused, broken and/or unwanted gold and silver for fast cash. Plus there are kiosks popping up in the malls offering fast cash for these items as well. Too bad I don’t have anything that they would be interested in buying from me.
I do have some nice, clean and pretty old Silver coins that my grandmother left to me when she passed away many years ago, but I would never consider selling them, unless I was really in trouble and needed some cash. I intend on keeping them and passing them down and keeping them in the family for many years to come. I think my grandmother would want it that way.
Our computers and the Internet have come a long way in the last couple of decades. There are so many decisions to make when purchasing a computer, what brand, what system, what type of printer to get, etc…….Then once you get one you have to get it all set up and choose which web site hosting to use. There are tons of web hostings to consider. I personally like the fact that several of these are advertising that they are going green. I think that is just awesome and would like to pass the word around that they are out there in hopes that more people will choose them, since being green is the right thing to do these days.
I found a great web hosting rating and directory site at webhostinggeeks.com. That is were I found the listings of green web hosting. It caught my attention and I’m glad that I explored it and found what I did. They indicate that iPage is 100% wind powered, which is pretty cool, if you ask me. We all need to do all that we can to keep our mother earth is the best shape possible and recycling is just the tip of the ice berg.
I found it! The Telephone Man song. It took a while but I did find it and got such a charge out of hearing it again after so long. I even posted it on Face Book to see if I get any responses from it. Finding this song just made my day. Check it out and see if you remember it as well.
As I stated the other day I have been checking out auto insurance via the Internet. It is the first time I’ve dealt with shopping around for quotes and coverages for car insurance. I’ve had my insurance with the same agent for a very long time and have never had to deal with looking around for cheap full coverage insurance by going online. When I found my agent we were all still using our local paper version of the Yellow Pages, was letting my fingers doing the walking. Remember that old line? I haven’t heard that expression for some time. I think they even had a song out back in the 70′s about the telephone man and letting your fingers do the walking. Might have to look that up on YouTube.com some time, it would be cool to hear that song after all these years.
Anyway I found another good site at cheap-autoinsurance.com. All I had to do was type in my zip code and 6 different insurance companies came up for me to check out. Nationwide being one of them (they are my current insurance company so of course I didn’t give them any information. Elephant Insurance was one of the choices. I have never heard of that company but decided to give them a shot, but wasn’t happy with the quote that they gave me.
Over the weekend I’ll try out some of the other ones that they have listed for me. Progressive is one of them as well as Geico, both being well established and well known insurance providers that might be able to beat Nationwide’s rates. I still hate the thought of leaving my current insurance agent. He has been wonderful to work with all these years and has helped me out of a few jams, which I thank him kindly for doing. But it’s all about the money at this point right? Guess we will see after I do a bit more research done, there is no hurry and no pressure. I like it like that.
