Since I’ve been spending more time at home because of my car accident and injuries, I’ve been spending more time on the Internet.  At first it was curiousity, wondering what is so fascinating that keeps the rest of my family glued to the computer for so many hours of the day?  A few months after I was injured my wife got tired of me asking her to send email messages to my family and friends and she set me up with my own email account and taught me how to use it!  Well, after that I was hooked!  She showed me her blog, and explained what she did with it and helped me set up my own blog.  (You’re reading it!)  Since my physical activities have become so limited I’ve become quite intrigued with figuring out the hows, whats, whos and whys of the Internet and am thinking about setting up a web page dedicated to the business that I’m working on – classic car consulation. 

From what I understand I will need to buy my own domain, and a web hosting service.  My wife suggested that I might learn quite a bit about the Internet by reading the web hosting blog put on the Internet by the webhostinggeeks, so I’ve started reading that.  Some of it is still confusing to me, because I’m a beginner, but I have to admit that it has taught me quite a bit!
If you are thinking about getting a new webhosting service, check out the recommondations at the webhostinggeeks.com website before making a commitiment; it’s worth a read!

The past couple of days the weather has been really crazy. It’s difficult for my wife to figure out what to wear to work – she’s been working part time the past couple of months as a substitute school bus driver until she can find a better paying full time job. (That’s going to be hard to do because school bus drivers get paid pretty well!) Anyway, as I was saying, the crazy weather has made it hard for her to figure out what to wear – the school buses don’t warm up very quickly so when she leaves the house in the morning it is in the 30′s (and this morning it was mixed precipitation!) but by the middle of the day it is in the 50′s.

So she has been dressing in layers and peeling off clothes as the bus (and day) warm up, but it is still a challenge to figure out how many layers, and exactly how warm each layer should be!  She has been catching a lot of colds and I suspect that is probably due largely to her being exposed to so many weird weather conditions (in addition to be subjected to the germs the kids have!)  I’ll be glad when she gets a job where she doesn’t have to worry about the outside temperature and how many layers of clothes to wear!

In today’s fashion world, eyeglasses are often considered an important fashion accessory. That’s good news for people who actually have to WEAR eyeglasses! From what I understand, even people who wear contact lenses usually have a “backup pair” of eyeglasses for the rare occasion when they either can’t or don’t want to put in their contact lenses.

My sister-in-law wears contacts most of the time, but sometimes when she falls ill her doctor tells her to stop wearing her contacts and just wear her regular glasses while she is recovering. I don’t understand the medical reason for it; I just remember her telling us that. Anyway, most women feel that fashion eyeglasses can make or break an “outfit” and some folks like to have several pairs of glasses to choose from to accessorize what they are wearing.

The Zenni Optical Company has made it easier for consumers to own multiple pairs of glasses, by offering frames for as low as $8.00 per pair. They have a wide variety of Holiday frames that would be great to wear with any Holiday inspired outfit. They sell progressive/bifocal glasses, sunglasses, and wind goggles as well. They also provide anti-scratch coating and UV protection on the lenses for free!

My wife came home yesterday afternoon, a little bit frustrated because the test she took was a lot harder than she expected it to be, and because they told her that they would mail the results to her and it could take up to three weeks.  So she doesn’t know if she passed or not.  She suspects that she didn’t pass because there were a lot of questions that she simply guessed at.  She told me that the books she was told to read the prepare her for the test were of no help at all, and that she feels that she wasted an awful lot of time reading them.  So she is quite annoyed about that, and nervous about the test results.  She says if she gets a failing grade on the test that she’s going to wait a while before taking it again, she has to find out what are the correct books to study and it will take a while to study them.  I really hope she passed!  It is hard for her to find time to study.

Their is a website called thecreditexchange.com dedicated to referring consumers who are struggling with debt to companies that can help them with finding the right answers to their debt problems.  It is NOT a Debt Consolidation Company , and it is NOT a credit management company.  It has affiliated companies that do that.  What thecreditexchange.com website does is help you to figure out which is the best option for you and then refers you to the appropriate company to help you to pursue that option.  It is the only company that I know of that does not perform the services itself.
