Flannel Shirts

Filed under: General Living,Shopping — Copa @ 11:13 am

Looks like one of my favorite casual wear clothing items is becoming fashionable this year. I have always loved flannel shirts and have worn them on chilly mornings even when they were not a fashion item.

This year I am seeing flannel for teens and kids, and it is being made by big name designers, such as Ralph Lauren and Tommy. The colors are fresh and bright and the price tags are a little high for my budget.

This year I’m going to get a couple new flannel shirts, but I think I’ll be OK sticking with either Tractor Supply or maybe L. L. Bean.

Online Finance

I was sent the link to Firstrade.com by a friend the other day and I finally took the time to give it a look over. It’s a good site to find information on Online Trading, Online Broker, IRA Accounts, Mobile Trading and Stock Trading. Having the opportunity to do these types of financial decisions online is just amazing. Right now they free trades for 30 days with a new IRA account and I’m seriously thinking on taking advantage of what Firstrade has to offer.

The days and years are slipping by and I really need to buckle down and get myself situated with these types of investments. Most people my age have gotten started all ready, not everyone got screwed by Wall Street  these past couple of years. It is a tricky business and I plan on learning all that I can before putting a penny into it. Having access to the Internet will make the whole task a much easier one to tackle.

If you love going to the movie theater to see the movies on the big screen, and eating buttered popcorn, then you want to sign up at the new website called getfreemovieticket.com to Get Your Free Movie Ticket as soon as you can. This is affiliated with Fandango, and if you sign up you will pay $19.99 per month for four movie tickets and get one more ticket free.

Carrying Case

Filed under: Shopping,Sports,Travel — Copa @ 4:11 pm

When you invest in a nice set of golf clubs and a nice golf bag, the next big purchase should be a top quality carrying case for them. I have never traveled with my golf clubs on a plane before, so that was not something that I thought was important – until now. With an upcoming trip to Myrtle Beach, I want to take my clubs with me and play at least two of their world famous golf courses while we are there.

Obviously I can’t pack them in my suitcase or carry them on the plane in just their golf bag. So I need to do some research today and see what carrying cases are road worthy and affordable. I wish I knew what the pros use. I don’t want to get suckered into buying something that is not worth the money and ends up cracking or breaking open due to rough handling at the airport.
