Keeping up with the latest

My sister in law Liz likes to use the Front Page software to design her web pages.  She’s made some really great looking web pages!  She was telling me recently that she was reading an blog about Front page hosting and other web hosting news that she thought I might want to read.

 

To be honest, I’d really prefer to just let her take care of that end of the process.  I enjoy blogging, but am not into web page design per se.  I’m really happy with the WordPress blogging, and if I ever need anything more complicated I’ll just let Liz take care of it for me.  I’m sure she’d be more than happy to barter services with me.  That’s one of the good things about having such a diverse family – we have our own set of skills that we can use to help each other out.  Much better than a family that all is in the same one business, where we only focus on one thing!

Nice surprise

Posted on April 19th, 2010 by Jerry under Life, Money and Finances.

I was surprised to find my state income tax refund already deposited in my checking account this morning!  That was really fast!  I just wish that the federal tax refund would arrive that fast too!  I’ve never been very good at waiting for my money to come in!  I want instant gratification!  Come on refund check!  I’m anxiously awaiting your arrival!

Rehab

Posted on April 13th, 2010 by Jerry under Business, Computers and/or Internet, Education and Personal Growth, Friends/Family, Health.

 VH-1 has to take credit for the Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab series that has been airing these past couple of years. Drug Detox and Alcohol Rehab is a serious problem that is growing worse each day. The economy can be blamed for a good amount of this over whelming issue of addiction that is affecting celebrities and the rest of society as well. This show is allowing the public to see that this Residential Drug Rehab can be effective and is making life changing events happen and that there is hope out there for all of us who are effected by this addiction problem.

 

I have a close friend that attended a Tennessee Drug Rehab last year and it did wonders for the man. It saved his health, his marriage and his career, He still has a lot of work to do but so far so good, I know it isn’t an easy road to take so I’m very proud of him and his family for sticking with it.

 

The Internet is a great tool to utilize to find the best Rehab center and all the information concerning them. There are a lot of good places out there and a few bad ones of course. It would pay to do your homework before jumping in.

April 15th

April 15th is only a few days away. I’m glad that I got my taxes done and over with before the mad rush this year. I’m running into a good amount of people that are having to pay the I.R.S. this year and they are not anxious to hand over their hard earned cash any sooner than they need to; so they are waiting until the 15th to send Uncle Sam his check.

 

I have one friend that is going to have to take out a personal loan in order to pay his taxes this year; that would have to be really hard to do! There have been several tax credits put into place recently but I’m not hearing of that many people that are being able to take advantage of any of them. I am glad to hear that the Home Buyers Tax Credit has been extended; that is one thing that the Federal Government has taken action on that makes sense and is actually working well.

 

I’d hate to work at the Post Office on April 15th; it is a mad house that day. Even with more and more people e-filing the Post Office still pulls a huge amount of us in each year and some even stay open late that night for better customer service.

Harvesting Gardens

Posted on April 13th, 2010 by Jerry under Food, Friends/Family, Home and garden, Life.

I enjoy eating fruits and vegetables. This time of the year people are busy with outside yard work and the planting of their gardens. I always look forward to reaping the benefits of their labor when they find that they have harvested more than they can use and they start handing out their produce to friends, family, neighbors and co workers. I always have plenty of tomatoes during the summer and fall!
