Speaking of the Antarctica, I never did see the move Happy Feet! Maybe I’ll rent it from Netflix.

The internet helps with homework by making it easy for students to find a specific topic all with a few clicks of the mouse. For example, I did a research paper on animals that live in Antarctica. I was able to type in those exact words in a search engine and click go. Within seconds I found hundreds of different sites that had information about animals that live in Antarctica. I was able to get statistics, graphs, pictures, and all the information I needed for my paper. I was also able to print out images to make a nice presentation as well. All of this was easy to do using ClearTVBundle.com to go online. My research paper was a breeze to do because the information I needed was all right in front of my face. After I gathered all the information I was even able to look up how to format it. I found a research paper template that walked me through writing the paper. I was even able to check my spelling and grammar. Within a few hours my research paper was ready to be printed and handed into my teacher.

Now that’s what I’m talking about! Something I’ve always wanted to do!

When I was a teenager, no one I knew had even heard of teen rehab or teen addiction statistics.  Sure, we had a health class in middle school where we watched videos about the dangers of drinking and doing drugs, but it was nothing like the DARE program that so many of the schools use now.

I think it is a really sad state of affairs that we are putting so much pressure on our teenagers nowadays to study so hard to get into college, telling them that if they don’t get into a good college then their lives will be ruined.  I think that is the main reason for so much substance abuse and teen suicide!  Of course, the social media now creates more intense peer pressure, too.  Geez, life was so much simpler when I was a teenager!

At least I’m glad to know that there are teen drug rehab facilities for our struggling families.  I do think that things would be a lot easier, though, if schools focused more on dealing with stress in healthy ways instead of putting so much pressure on them to succeed.

I have known a few people here and there throughout the years that are dealing with Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms and are always on the look out for good quality Multiple Sclerosis News. The more you know about a disease the better patient you will become all the way around. Knowledge is powerful medicine and the Internet brings a lot of that type of power to us, which is awesome. Of course you can’t believe everything that you read, we all grew up hearing that one, but you just need to use some common sense and if it sounds to good to be true then it is probably not true!

A close co worker of mine’s wife was just recently diagnosed with MS and he has been doing a good amount of research online during his free time at work. We are a close bunch so we are all learning along with him. As with most illnesses a good Multiple Sclerosis Diet and a good Multiple Sclerosis Exercise regiment is very important and plays an important part of the treatment plans. We found a great website at allaboutms.com that we have found a lot of good useful information and I would recommend that anyone who is dealing with any type of Multiple Sclerosis issues give it a look see.

This was a great story to read on Yahoo about a little girl born on the date of 8-9-10. The birth occurred at 11:12am. Too funny, right? What an easy birthday to have to remember each year. I was going to post the video about the special birthday girl but apparently there are copyright issues going on right now.

Come the end of September I will be free of my cell phone provider once and for all. Two years ago I signed a contract with them and I’ve been counting down the days until my contract is up. I have nothing good to say about that company as a cell phone provider. They are over-priced and have too many dead zones. As far as I’m concerned, their ads on television about their coverage is very misleading.

Of all the places for my nephew and his new wife to be relocating to they had to pick Texas. So now they are busy looking for Dallas Homes for Sale and utilizing the Internet for all that it is worth. Moving has never been an easy task and moving somewhere long distance is just a nightmare, thank goodness for the World Wide Web. There are tons of Dallas Real Estate options out there, weeding through all of them is time consuming but at least they can do that task online instead of having to make numerous trips in order to find the perfect match.

At least a good portion of the move is being paid for by his employer and he has a good paying job waiting for him to start at. They won’t know a soul in Texas, but they are good people and youth is on their side, so I’m sure it will work out just fine. In the mean time they are being kept busy Googling “Dallas Homes For Sale” and seeing all that Dallas has to offer folks in their shoes. In a few years I’ll make the time to take a trip out there and see how they are making out.

The word is that there are still Myrtle Beach vacation deals available for what is left of the summer season. A lot of school systems are starting school earlier and earlier which cuts out a good amount of vacation time for families. When I went to school, it always started the day after Labor Day, which of course is always in September. But I’m hearing from various friends and family members that most schools are opening in August. One friend’s kid started school yesterday, for goodness sake, it is only the first full week of August. The others that I’ve spoken with are starting August 22nd and the 23rd. I think that is so wrong, but nothing I can do about it at this point.

Anyway if I was to be planning a beach trip I’d being using the Internet to find the best Myrtle Beach hotel that might have accommodations still available. Being an avid golfer I’d certainly be looking for a place that could help with a good golf package to get my business, like what I found at http://www.grandeshores.com. They seem to have something for just about everyone at this resort. Too bad I’ve used up all of my vacation days for this year, the beach sounds great. It has been a long, hot summer this year. Can’t imagine what we are in store for this winter!

I’ll never forget my grandfather warning me about buying a pick up truck. He warned me that owning a pick up truck just opens the flood gates for people to call on you for help with Moving Services as well as coming to their rescue for when their motorcycle breaks down on the side of the road. This man rarely was wrong on any subject and with this particular issue he was dead on, but that is OK as far as I’m concerned that is what friends and family are for. I have a lot of friends and come from a large family!

Moving Companies are a necessity when you have a large move on your hands. Some times a pick up truck just won’t do the trick and a large truck is a must. Now a days you can go online and get Moving Quotes with just a few quick key strokes and their are a good amount of qualified Movers that have been in business for a long time that are well established and are trustworthy as well. We have all heard horror stories about people’s stuff being damaged and or stolen during a move, that must really bite. But the Internet has made it possible for people to find the perfect match for their situation and times are a changing with all that the Internet provides for us. If a company gets a bad rep you can bet that it will be on the Internet as well.

So in the mean time you can still call me if you need my truck for a few short trips, but if it is more than it can handle I’d refer you to the World Wide Web and all that it has to offer in these types of situations.

It took me a while but I eventually got hooked up and started using my free Yahoo IM to chat with numerous friends and family. Now they are trying to get me to get on Face Book. My goodness, when will it ever end? Let me get comfortable on the IM and maybe one day I’ll tackle Face Book.

Every family needs a doctor, a lawyer, a mechanic and a computer geek to get by these days. I’ve gotten pretty good with the computer these past couple of years, but there is so much that I still don’t know and don’t know if I’ll ever learn or need to learn. I mean at work we have our IT people that are just a phone call away and my youngest brother, who lives pretty close by is the computer whiz of the family so I have plenty of support at my disposal. Of course my needs don’t always coincide with their schedules but we seem to work it out some how.

I can’t even imagine me needing to know about a dedicated server, or anything to do with managed hosting or colocation services in my type of career and/or personal computer needs. And if I need to know what colocation is all about, I’m a firm believer of Googling anything that I need to learn about. The Internet is such a wealth of knowledge just waiting to be taken advantage of by some one just like me.

I just got settled in with my laptop, a hot cup of coffee and the TV on a decent day time channel when a severe thunder and lightening storms comes about and knocks the power out. Good thing that my laptop was on the power surger, but the cable TV are “temporarily unavailable” what a way to start the day.

Have you ever had a bottle of beer or soda that you needed to use a bottle opener to open? And find out that you don’t HAVE a bottle opener? Check out this clever solution!

Well, I had had hopes that Ms. C.P. was going to help me put an end to my misery with the Bank of America mortgage problem.  She assured me that she had closed the case and that Bank of America would notify the credit agencies that the debt was settled.  Then the business of Credit Repair could begin.

That was several weeks ago, and yet so far all of the records indicat that I still owe Bank of America the mortgage money!  I’m still getting notices from Bank of America, for crying out loud!  Even their website shows I still owe them the money!  The Best Credit Repair Service in the world would not be able to help me until Bank of America finishes the job and does right by me!

I’m beginning to think that Credit Repair for me is just a pipe dream; never to happen.  Is this any way to run a business?

Thanks for the article from Glenda Hanson

Vacation planned! Success. I love hughesnet internet. I’m finally using high speed internet orrs island now, as my previous land line provider was awful, and it is so nice to be able to get online and do what I need to do this easily. I was able to go on the web and score some cheap tickets to visit my family this summer just by trolling around various travel websites throughout the day and waiting for a sale (sorry boss).

Soooo much easier then when I used to have to call each airline individually. And since my mom wanted to get out of the city for a few days I read some travel reviews and hotel reviews and picked a cute B&B that’s a few hours away from her house for us to spend the weekend at. Not only that, but I’ve been searching for things to do in the area since then and I already have a mini list that I’m going to present to mom, and she can pick her favorites. Which hopefully will be my favorites – maybe I can guide her a little, lol. I’m counting down the days!

After I typed in the title of the previous post a song got stuck in my head and I just had to look it up on YouTube.com. It was never a popular song, I never heard it on the radio, but it was on a record album that my oldest brother used to listen to and I really liked it.

I’m glad that I found it on YouTube.com, it has been decades since I’ve heard or even thought of it. Check it out……..

My sister and her husband are up in arms about their oldest child who is in dire need of one of the drug rehab centers near where they live. He has gotten in with the wrong crowd, it started right when he started attending Middle School, which is when a lot of kids start going down hill, as the statistics show us. My sister is busy finding information on the Internet concerning the drug rehabilitation programs that they would be able to hook him up with. The Internet certainly is making this task a much easier one to tackle and she is able to share her findings with friends and family who are into emailing and the like.

There are good quality addiction treatment centers available these days. With the economy is such a mess more people are turning to drugs and alcohol as an escape from all the heart aches that our government has gotten us all involved in. This country is in a major mess and we need all the help that we can get, especially in this aspect.

I feel for my sister’s family, I can only hope and pray that they find the right place for him and that he pulls through and can make something of himself and his life. He is a bright kid, always brought home great report cards and has a real apptitude for working with his hands. I wish them all the luck in the world, just wish I was closer so that I could be of more help with it all.

I’m not all that much into Gospel music, but there is this one song that I heard back about 15 years ago that I really got into and I haven’t heard it since then. I was on YouTube.com last night and actually remembered the name of the song and found the video there, it was so cool to hear it after so many years. It’s called “Stomp” and it’s done by Kirk Franklin, enjoy……

What a wacky summer season we have gotten into. What with the economy still in such a mess and people looking for ways to save money and yet still have some sort of entertainment during the summer months and most of the beaches on the east coast overflowing with oil due to BP’s nonsense people aren’t sure what to do and where to go. It is possible now to find cheap flights if you know what you are doing and can use the Internet to the best of it’s ability to get the best deal possible. There are plenty of sites to find good travel information that can make the task of finding the perfect get-a-way much easier these days.

Since so many of the beaches are being destroyed by all of the oil mess, a lot of people are flocking to Myrtle Beach this summer. I’m sure that it is next to impossible to find accommodations anywhere near that place at this point, even if you could find good affordable airline tickets to get there. Myrtle Beach has been advertising like crazy these past couple of years in an attempt to get people to come spend their money there and all it took was an oil spill, go figure.

I come from a family of avid golfers. Every one in the family enjoys a good game of golf from time to time, it was a good quality sport for the whole family to enjoy together. We were started out pretty young, around the age of 3 or 4 depending on the kid and their comfort level and skills. To hear the words tee times would get the whole house in an uproar, the excitement was very contagious, and it still is to this day.

Even though the family have spread out a whole lot, all across the country, we still manage to get together now and then and enjoy a family game of golf. I found a great site www.48hourteetimes.com that allows you to book games at short notice and in various areas. Our favorite golf courses are in Myrtle Beach, the North Myrtle Beach area to be exact. You can’t ask for much more than what Myrtle Beach as to offer, something for everyone can be found there!

Sometimes the opportunity to get in a game comes up out of no where and if you don’t jump on it, it can leave as quickly as it came. So a site that helps you with 48 hour tee times would certainly be helpful, another example of how the Internet has made life so much easier.

Since I’ve been thinking about the Beatles this past week I decided to go onto YouTube.com and find some of their songs to listen to while I’m online. Penny Lane was one of my favorites, it was made right before they started getting into the hard drugs that took their music to a whole different level.

With the serious lack of rain that we have been dealing with this year, it is good to see that people are doing what they can to help conserve our precious rain waters. Rain barrels are coming back in a large variety of styles and prices, which I think is a great way to help out. We used to have several rain barrels in our back yard, back in the day, but they were the standard wooden ones, not much to look at, but they did the trick.

I was online last night and stumbled across a site that is selling rain chains. I really like the idea and looks of these rain chain items. They have a wide variety of these very affordable chains rain and their accessories. I have to tell you that I’ve never seen one before, maybe I am behind in the times, but I’d like to get the word out about this products and see more people investing in them. So if you could take the time to visit rainchainlink.com and see what they are all about and all that they have to offer I’d appreciate it. It can be easy being “green” no matter what Kermit The Frog says. LOL!

It is interesting that Tiles are coming back in fashion as of late. I ran across a great site that sells a great variety of Tiles and a decent prices to boot. They offer free shipping and take Pay Pal, which is a plus for people like me that use Pay Pal frequently. Companies are targeting online shoppers and free shipping is a good way to get consumers to order their products online. Using the Internet has made the task of shopping so much easier and more people are turning to the World Wide Web all year round, not just during the holiday seasons in their effort to keep away from the crowds and all that goes along with that yearly mess!

It’s amazing the variety of Tiles that are available these days. I really enjoy their selection of Subway tiles and their Brick Glass Mosaics and would encourage anyone to give glasstilestore.com a look see if you are in the market for the latest in Tiles. They aren’t just for kitchens and bathrooms anymore.

My sister was asking me yesterday where she could find a local digital camera repair shop. She says she has been having problems with her camera and wants to get it fixed. She told me that she lent her camera to a friend and she thinks it was dropped.

To be honest, the whole concept of having to need camera repair was a little bit of a surprise to me.

I have had about eight different cameras in my lifetime and none of them have ever broken! I even have my old Polaroid “Swinger” camera and it works just fine! The problem I have with that is finding the film, if I were inclined to want to use it! So I’ve never had to worry about where to take one for camera repair! I usually only buy a new camera when new technological advances inspire me! I guess I’ve been lucky in that department!

One of the things that I think is exceptional about the Internet is how small it has made the world.  News that used to take months to travel around the globe now only takes seconds.  Competition between businesses has increased many times over.  And educational opportunities abound.  I think that the educational opportunities is one of the most important aspects of today’s Internet and technological advances.

We’re going to need all the help we can get to solve the world’s troubles down the road.  And many of those problem will require math skills to solve.  There was a time when common belief was that girls were not good at math.  But now anyone who is struggling with Math Problems only need to go as far as their nearest Internet connection to get the Math help that they need.  There are many educational websites that are geared up to assist the struggling math student.  With just a few clicks on the mouse, Algebra help is easily acquired.  In many cases, the help is free!

Yes, the Internet has opened up many options to the world.  I hope we make the best of it.

I fear I have gotten to the point in life that my jeans just aren’t as comfortable as they used to be. I remember practically living in my blue jeans, a few nights I had even slept in them without a problem. I don’t think that I could handle doing something like that these days, they just don’t feel right anymore. Even with all the different brands and styles that they have to offer in the stores, I just can’t seem to find a pair that I can call comfortable, especially in the summer heat, that can make for a long hot day and that just isn’t acceptable to me.

So, I have turned to wearing cargo pants when I want to dress casual. They are readily available and are usually affordable, depending on where you purchase them. I have been doing most of my shopping online and have been finding some good deals. It works for me since I am not the type that enjoys going out and shopping for clothes, so shopping online is perfect for me.

I have found a good company at Blair.com and they have a good selection of cargo elastic waist pants, which are my favorite type of cargo pants. The elastic waist band makes them nice and comfortable all through the day and well into the night which is just what I’m looking for in my clothes. And I like all the pockets that cargo pants are known to have. Too bad I have such skinny legs and refuse to wear shorts because they are having a good sale on them right now, but I’ve never been a fan of wearing shorts, even on the hottest days of the summer.

I’m going to shoot off an order this weekend with them, gonna order a few pairs and see how I like them.

One of the things that I like about youtube is that I can always find something that will make me laugh! Take for example, these clips of funny (but banned) commercials! I think they are a riot!

I have always found it interesting how many different people struggle with different academic subjects. For example, my biggest problems in school were in Chemistry and in Geometry. For the life of me I couldn’t do well in those classes! Although I found it relatively easy to pass most math courses, sometimes I feel that I really didn’t learn much about the problem solving process – I just memorized a lot of formulas. Lucky for me, I’ve found that the Internet is a great source for brushing up on a variety of subjects.

For example, even though I took statistics in school, it has been many years since I studied it. I’m sure that if I really needed to apply what I learned, I would be in for a real struggle. But there are great websites, such as the tutorvista.com website that is designed to give Statistics help to students that I think I could use to help me with any Statistics problems that I might stumble upon as I go through life. I think it’s great; having a Statistics tutor right in your own home, with just a click of the mouse to get the help you need!

I was browsing the Internet this morning and saw a lot of hoopla about a new creation – a wedding dress that dissolves in water. The photos that are provided with all of the articles look like ballet tutus. What’s up with that? I can’t imagine a bride walking down the aisle in a tutu! Is that really the dress?

The articles talk about how women buy wedding dresses, wear them once and never again. And what a waste it is. In my family, it seems that the women save their wedding dresses in the hopes that one day their daughters will wear them to their weddings! Of course women who only bear sons might have problems with that!

I can remember going to a historical place that held lectures and the lecturer spoke of how wedding dresses used to be black, and that the women wore the same dress to church every Sunday, and that the dress was also used as dress that the woman was buried in. I guess those dresses really earned their keep!
