Had to go to the local Jiffy Lube during lunch today and have them throw an oil change on my car. Thank goodness they got me in and out quickly, I even had enough time to grab a bit to eat before heading back to work. Lunch breaks are never quite long enough to get things done and something in the stomach to keep you going until you clock out.
Knowledge is power and the Internet is a powerful tool for today’s consumers that is being taken more seriously these days. When I moved here my car insurance premiums went up and I remember complaining to my insurance agent about the rate increase. He informed me that I had moved into a different “territory” which they believe deserve charging a larger premium for. Now how crazy is that?
There has been a ton of commercials pushing insurance these past couple of years. The Internet allows you to research low cost car insurance without all the phone calls involved like back in the last century. (I’ve always wanted to say that) By going online you can find money saving auto ins tips with sites that help you compare coverages and rates. It’s certainly the most practical way of shopping for your insurance needs.
I understand California has a lot of ways to help people that can’t afford auto insurance. I think that is pretty awesome. I wish more states would follow that trend. With all of the traffic issues that California has to deal with and their major budget problems I’m really surprised that they have programs as they do to help people.
I found an interesting website that deals with low cost insurance issues at onlineautoinsurance.com. There is a lot of good information to read, links to all kinds of information related to insurance needs and concerns. I even watched one of their low income ins video online promotions that was worth watching, that is on YouTube.com.
I’ve decided that I’m going to start shopping around for a better deal on my car insurance. I hate to leave my current agent though. I used to work for him years ago and he always takes such good care of me, but if he can’t get my rates down I’ve gotta find some one else to do the job for me and there is plenty to choose from out there these days folks!
My goodness has Myrtle Beach grown since I was a kid and went there on summer vacations. I was spending some time on the computer today on my break and was looking at the golf package Myrtle Beach resorts are offering and I was blown away at the many hotels and resorts that are now there. I found http://www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com/ and was drooling at their variety of accommodations that they have to offer all over the Myrtle Beach area. I always enjoyed the North Myrtle Beach area as a kid, my parents always made it a point to stay on the north side. We are creatures of habit.
If you want to get an eyeful of what is going on in Myrtle Beach you can go to www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com and check out all that they have listed there. Some major changes have been going on there. Maybe next year, if my tax refund check is half way decent I can take a long week end and go there once again. I love playing golf and they have some wonderful courses to offer in that area. Something to check into in the near future, to be sure.
On the way home from work this afternoon I had to take an alternative route home. It appears that a major wreak happened on the Interstate, a hit and run and at least one person was killed. What a mess to deal with at the end of a long hard day at work.
Tomorrow is the first day of school in the county that I live in. We can now look forward to all of the yellow school buses shuffling all the local kids back and forth to their schools. Sometimes it really sucks to be stuck behind one for a long period of time with no way of getting around it, while it’s stopping here and there taking on or dropping at various bus stops along the way.
