One of the first things that my wife and I decided to do when we bought this house was to replace all of the exterior door locks with sets that all used the same key. We did not want to have to try to remember which key opened which door. All of our key-chains were already over crowded with vehicle keys and store loyalty cards. Life sure is simpler when you only have to use one key to open it all!
There is a big push going on right now between, State Farm, Progressive, Geico, Allstate and Nationwide Insurance. The TV is flooded by their wacky and unusual commercials for home, auto and life insurance. Geico almost always gets me going, but some of them are totally off the wall! Let the insurance wars begin…..
For the past couple of months I have been waking up with the most horrible back ache. It stays with me most of the day and no over the counter pain relievers have been even taking the edge of it. I’m assuming that it is due to my old mattress. I couldn’t even tell you how old it is, but I’m sure that I’m due for a new one. One that will take away this horrible backache, or at least I’m hope so.
The house that I grew up in had Ceiling Fans in just about every room. My mother insisted that my father install them in each bedroom, the dining room, the kitchen, the den and the living room when they first purchased and moved in the place back in the 60′s. When I moved out of my parents house and went out on my own I didn’t consider that I’d be sleeping in a room without the circulation that I’d grown accustomed to all of my life. A Ceiling Fan makes a big difference in my night’s sleep. Not only is the circulation important, but the cool breeze and the slight white noise that it provides is all included in my total “sleep package” if you will. If I plan on sleeping away from home I certainly can’t be toting a Ceiling Fan around with me but I do take a good sized box fan that seems to do the trick most of the time.
The Ceiling Fan that is currently in my master bedroom has been making some pretty freaky noises the past couple of weeks, I just keep forgetting about it during the day and by the time I hear the darn thing, I’m ready for bed and keep putting it off time and time again. So today I’m spending a bit of time online and am researching different types of Ceiling Fans and I think I’ve found the perfect one at the Hansen Wholesale Ceiling Fans website of hansenwholesale.com. They have a decent selection of Eco Fans in an effort to offer green products in today’s every growing greener demanding consumers. Right now with the promo code of Promo Code: N932502530 they will pay the tax on your order, plus they offer free shipping.

I never realized that our son J was interested in fine linens until we took him shopping last month for the things that he needed for his new apartment. When we went out I thought it would only take an hour or two to grab a few things and toss them in the shopping cart. I sure was surprised when we were in the bedding department and he spent at least an hour picking out his bedding. If it had been me, I would have just grabbed the cheapest set and been done with it!
I was very disturbed today when I went into my local drugstore to buy some vitamins and saw that the expiration date on the bottle I picked up was October of 2008! I brought that bottle to the attention of the store manager, and she thanked me for bringing it to her attention and said she’d take care of it. I decided to spot check a few other items at the store while I was there because I was curious to see if that was an isolated accident. Sad to say that I found quite a few things that had passed the expiration date. I guess I’ll be checking expiration dates on more things that I buy in the future!
One of the reasons that my wife and I enjoy going to trade shows is because we get some really good and creative ideas on how to solve some problems and some great ideas on things like landscaping and decorating.
Last spring when we went to the home and garden show we saw several displays using rain chains as part of the landscaping. My wife was especially fond of the different garden rain chains that she saw – she especially liked the ones that looked like water was coming out of a watering can.
I liked the gutter rain chain and copper rain chain corner leaderhead that I saw. I thought that they were great solutions for a couple of the problem drainage areas we have on our roof.
I was watching an interesting television show about counterfeiting. Not counterfeiting money, but counterfeiting brand name fashion designs. I can’t remember the famous names, except for Gucci, but the show made some interesting points about the hidden dangers of counterfeit goods. Some of the counterfeit goods contain harmful materials in them! I wonder how many people have bought counterfeit goods and ended up getting sick from them.
I can’t remember how long it has been since Mom could go places without her portable oxygen concentrator in tow. I’m really grateful that she is able to get her oxygen for such reasonable rates. I don’t think people realize how difficult life can be when you need to have oxygen tubes up your nose all day every day. But I have to give Mom a lot of credit – she doesn’t let it bring her down.
A few weeks ago I purchased some cheese at my local Food Lion. I reached into the fridge over the weekend to cut some of the cheese up to eat. It had not been opened yet, but I noticed that it has mold all over it. I checked out the “Best Used If By date” and it was still a few weeks away.
I was told that if you have a problem with a product and they supply you with a toll free phone number, to call it and inform them of their product’s issue(s). So I did and the lady was very nice and told me that a coupon is on the way in order to replace the cheese. So I have to say “Kudos” to Kraft! They stand behind their products.
