I can remember when I was a teenager, how expensive auto insurance was for me. My parents made me get a part time job just to pay for them adding me to their auto insurance policy! I didn’t even want my driver’s license; my parents made me get it so I could drive my mother to work and pick her up again when my father was overseas. I thought it was profoundly unfair to have to pay for my own premium under those circumstances! And I thought that the rates were outrageous for young drivers! I understand the thought process behind it – young kids are more likely to take risks, but I think that the really old people are worse drivers and their premiums should be higher as well!
I’m glad that there are stricter guidelines now for the teenagers that drive, and I’m glad that so many of the states have seat belt laws. As much as I don’t like seat belts myself, I agree that they can reduce injuries and save lives. And I think all cars should be equipped with the breath analyzer that you have to blow into so the car won’t start if it senses alcohol on the driver’s breath! I think that should just be standard equipment! And for every twenty minutes driven, a new breath analyis takes place. That would save a lot of lives, too!
My wife has put me in charge of doing some comparison shopping for cheaper rates on insurance. Currently we have our home and auto insurance bundled together; we understand that we can get better prices by doing it that way. But we are constantly inundated with junk mail about saving money on insurance, and so we’ve agreed that it might be worth looking into.
I found a website that is called netquote.com that makes it easy to compare prices on insurance anywhere in the US. For example if I wanted to find Indiana insurance all I have to do is fill in a few fields and click on submit and the quotes are on the way! So I’m going to check it out and see if we can save any money ourselves. Wish me luck!
With Mother’s Day coming up in another month, I have been looking around online in order to find a nice watch to purchase for my mother. Bluedial.com has a wonderful selection of Brand name watches like Seiko, Citizen, Bulova Casio at some pretty decent prices. They offer free 2nd day shipping and free sizing. I also like that they accept PayPal, that is something that more companies need to start offering.
I found this sweet looking ladies watch by Bulova. It is reduced from $250 down to $133, which is a great deal. I think that she will love it and I think that it would look real nice on my mother’s wrist.
The other day I was rummaging around the basement and found an old jewelry box of my wife’s that had yet to be brought up to our room. When I brought it upstairs and gave it to her, she gave out a joyful shriek. “You found my copper bracelets!” She said that she had wondered where that box had gone to!
She was thrilled because she had just been looking at a jewelry website that has a large selection of copper bracelets, and was thinking about buying one from them. Now she can refresh her memory of the ones that she has so she can be sure to not order a duplicate. I noticed that while she was on their website she was also looking at their selection of earrings. She sure does love earrings, and the site had a ton of them! I’m always nervous about buying jewelry online, but they have a satisfaction guarantee and free shipping, so I guess it won’t hurt to try them out!
After seeing the Jersy Boys gig on the David Letterman show I went online to see if I could afford to buy some Jersey Boys Tickets anytime in the near future. My wife was telling me that she’d love to go see them too, but thinks that I’m putting the cart before the horse in looking to buy any kind of entertainment tickets until all of my operations are finished.
I get discouraged sometimes because every now and then I’ll hear of a great deal on tickets to some entertainer that I’d like to see – like Wachovia Center Tickets
to go see Carol King perform. Every time my wife and I go on a long trip she brings along her Tapestry CD and we listen to that at least once. My wife sings along to all of the songs on that album!
And I’d love to get some Jeff Dunham Tickets and see him perform! Ventriloquism is something that I’ve always admired. I”m glad to see that it is coming back as a popular entertainment! A person really has to be talented to do a good job with ventriloquism! And Jeff is one of the best!
