Okay…Getting a little bit aggravated at credit card fraud and our bank accounts suspended because of suspicious activity after the fact!!!
Really…the bank should catch that, as well as the stores we shop in…that’s why we have photos on our debit/check cards, signatures on the back, etc. etc. etc.
Just this week, we had one of our accounts on hold…I wonder if the people that do these things are actually caught…
We’ve even had our credit card information hacked off of another website…Their entire system got hacked…They only charged about $15 from our account, but still…It’s a worry!
I’ve been seeing a lot of information from lifelock reviews while “stumbling” around the net, and I think it’s worth looking into to protect your identity. Plus, I’ve seen that commercial where the CEO of the company puts his Social Security # on the side of a truck, and a reporter tries to open up accounts with it, and was unable to…Pretty brave, but, hey, it worked! That was impressive to me…
Lifelock says they’ll guarantee your identity up to $1,000,000.00. This includes people using your birth certificate, passport, driver’s license, social security #, credit cards, etc. etc. etc…That’s kind of comforting to me…We live on the internet, have our information all over the internet, and we are shopping more and more online!
Not to mention, offline…I had to clean up my credit report because someone had opened up an account for their cable under my name and didn’t pay it…Yeah…A lot of fun dealing with them! I can certainly see where the value of life lock would come into play.
We are certainly going to consider signing up with LifeLock, so I did a little bit of digging online for a discount…
LOL…Actually, on their blog, they have lifelock promo codes for your convenience. It looked to me like the best one to use was promotion code RD32 – It gives you 30 days free and an “exclusive discount”…
Currently LifeLock boasts that they are America’s #1 theft prevention program. We are probably going to do this ourselves! It’s getting necessary and annoying to deal with these “problems” on our credit and suspending of accounts. Not cool at all!
Just wanted to share this with you since I’ve been doing a little research…

Not sure if you’ve heard about what’s going on with Virgin Media in the UK, but every internet user needs to hear what it’s all about. (I stumbled this information the other day.)
The Virgin Media Scandal would affect the internet and how we access it, as we know it…

Whatever happened to sending out Birth Announcements to your family and friends?
When someone in our family or one of our friends has a baby, and I’m putting my requests out now, I want a little photo and the basic information about the little boy or girl.
Maybe it’s just me…LOL…I didn’t think Baby Announcements were a thing of the past? I still like to receive mail…you know, not electronic email…that real paper and envelope-type mail. It’s special!
Okay, now that I have that little rant out of the way, I found a neat website, Doodlebug Designs, while I was “stumbling” today, and now….you have NO EXCUSE…
They do some really cute stuff these days for baby, wedding and special occasion announcements. I thought the twins ideas were sooooo cute! When I have a baby, I’m going to have thee coolest announcements ever…I want to capture the beauty and sweetness of presenting a little baby to the world!
Photo left: The Bradley from Doodlebug Designs…Soooo cute!
So, if any of my friends or family happen to read this…send me a great announcement that I can keep and actually hold on to…LOL…

Have you seen the brand new Amazon Kindle
At first glance, it looks like just another gadget you probably don’t need, but that would be really cool to walk around with…Almost looks like a PDA of sorts…
However, upon researching a little bit about it, it is pretty darn cool!
It’s a Wireless Reading Device…meaning you can purchase books, newspapers, magazines through this device and receive it right away…electronically, to save and keep in less than 1 minute! You can even download the first chapters and read them before you decide to buy a book…Pretty cool!
You can even get international newspapers, not just local or national. Plus, you get access to Wikipedia.org and more than 250 of the top blogs in genres like business, sports, entertainment, tech and politics…Wow!
The Kindle is lighter and thinner than a typical paperback novel, and it holds over 200 titles!
The Kindle
It has been deemed the new wave of the future, and it has been said that the Kindle will be everywhere…with instant access…
Check out the new Kindle here:
There are no monthly wireless bills, no contracts or service plans…It works like a cell phone, so you don’t need WiFi hotspots…
Anyway, I didn’t like the whole idea until I read about it…I am sold, and I wanted to share my new and interesting find with you!

Well…a sonography technician can also be called an ultrasound technician…
Nowadays, you don’t just have to be a doctor or a nurse; there are so many other medical careers in the health industry.
Okay, what does a sonography tech do?
Sonographs or ultrasounds use sound waves that create an image on a screen to assess various medical conditions…It’s what they use to see babies in the womb when women are pregnant, for example…
If a career in this area interests you, check out this really neat page/site I found while “stumbling” the net, Medical-Career-Training.com, specifically having information about sonography schools and other medical careers!
The health industry is always seeking new faces to assist in the ever growing population’s health conditions…I read on the site that the median salary for an ultrasound technician was about $48,000/year back in 2002…
Just wanted to share this place in case anyone was interested…

Well, I was not sure what to think about these salt lamps before I did some research on them. Sure, they are interesting, natural and beautiful, but what else?Basically, they are special salts that are mined in the Himalaya, as well as areas of Persia and Poland, which is rarer, and are said to be mined in an ecologically responsible manner.
They supposedly emit Negative Ions that help reduce severe allergies, sinus, depression, migraine, fatigue, ADHD and odor.
The lamps are said to clean the air of dust and pollen, which would seriously benefits asthmatics, people with lung illnesses and allergy sufferers.
Furthermore, they are good for improving learning, …To read more on this post, Click Here!

I was just talking to my mother about this issue today…
Unfortunately, the reality of the matter is that millions of people have awful credit for one reason or another…
Times, as of late in America, have been tough for many families. Even if you have bad credit, you still need things like cars and homes to keep your family and business/work life going, that’s for sure!
How can you possibly get financed for a home or car when it’s based on credit? Chances are…You won’t…
…But there are alternatives and it is possible to get a bad credit loan! Fortunately, some lenders are still willing to give second chances, even to those with bad credit scores.
I found a site while stumbling, BadCreditOffers.com, that sparked my conversation with my mother about this unfortunate reality for millions of Americans…
It is a comparison website for people with bad credit to find the best deals on bad credit credit cards, home loans, auto loans, personal loans, and much more.
You can choose the right offer for you and your situation…Now, you can start making Continue Reading…

To me, water lilies are one of the most beautiful plants going…
So neat and wonderful to see these little sun-kissed gems in a random pond you pass by the woods in summertime…and all of those beautiful green lily pads!
Well, why not decorate your pond with gorgeous water lily delights?
Scientific Name: Nymphaeaceae
Water lily plants that are considered to be hardy, not tropical, only bloom during the day, whereas, tropical water lilies can bloom in either the day or the night.
These plants are rooted in … To read the rest of this post, go to Home and Gardening Today

Looking for the best place to get an auto loan?
Well then…I “stumbled upon” a neat site that talks all about auto finance.
You can go there and get free auto loan quotes with the lowest rates and monthly payments that make sense for you through a bunch of nationwide lenders! Super easy to navigate the site and to get your quotes…
Basically, it shows you your many options and there is absolutely no obligation or awful sales pitches, so they say…just the facts and the numbers…really, that’s all you want anyway!
They’ll give you quotes for new and used cars, and even if you want to refinance, they have a section for that too!
What I was pleased with about this site, GetTheBestAutoLoan.com, was the fact that it isn’t salesy, and they have some great auto information as well on their new auto loan blog.
Their blog is not just about loans, but great information about actual vehicles themselves…the writer often picks Continue Reading…

Careful planning is called for when we’re talking about retirement!
Here are 6 Wayward Moves that Will Cost You in the Long Run:

As there is an increase in the awareness of health and need for being an advocate for your own health, there has been a dramatic increase in the need for medical industry workers.
However, you may feel you have only a few choices…being a nurse or a physician, right?
Wrong! There are other medical careers you can explore!
Why not be a medical assistant? It requires less schooling and is a very rewarding career nonetheless.
Pharmacy technicians, for example, assist licensed pharmacists in providing medication and other healthcare products in either a pharmacy or hospital setting, by preparing medications, counting dosages and labeling bottles, etc.
In order to find opportunities in pharmacy tech, or any other medical career, you need to know where to look and get some more information about this decision…I found an all-inclusive site, while “stumbling” on the internet, with tons of information, and great resources for entering into a medical career at Medical-Career-Training.com.
I know what you’re really interested in know…pharmacy technician salary, right? Well, after some research, I found out that pharm techs make, on average, about $10.70/hr USD. Of course, this will vary according to where you work and shifts you work, etc.
Just wanted to give you some food for thought about other careers in medicine and health.

How To Cook Chinese Herbs as Herbal Medicines
My mother and I both go to an acupuncturist, which works amazingly well on her arthritis inflammation. Our doctor often sends us home with miscellaneous concoctions of dried Chinese herbs in brown paper bags that she especially creates for us for whatever ailments we may have.
Right in front of us, she combines ingredients from 100s of jars of different herbs, spices and roots, etc. Super interesting just to watch her…
You are sometimes able to pick up pre-mixed pouches of Chinese herbal medicines from different Asian markets…
However, often times, there are either no instructions on how to prepare the herbs to be able to ingest them, or the instructions are in Chinese…Not very helpful to us who do not speak Chinese…LOL
Don’t fret…Here are step-by-step instructions for how to cook your Chinese herbs…
Instructions:
1. Empty the herbs into a deep saucepan.
* Tip: The best kind of container to use is ceramic. It is important that your saucepan has a lid. Materials to avoid include cast iron or metals. Stainless steel is better than the other metals, however.
2. Add enough water to… To read more of this post, Click Here!

One of our favorite businesses that we run, I would even go so far as to call it a hobby since we enjoy it so much, is real estate investing!
Photo left: One of our current investment properties on the market in Plano, Texas
However, we have been studying and practicing since 1999. We have certainly learned a lot of great lessons from our studies, but we have also come across many learning situations out of the school of hard knocks!
Kenney and I always suggest studying a few different real estate investing courses, at least to get a good foundation about things…It is absolutely essential and indispensable. Learn from people that have already been there and done that!
Now that I’ve said that, I stumbled upon this website today, that I haven’t heard of before, called Nouveau Riche University.
Firstly, from what I can see, this website is really clean and super organized…Love that! I hate it when real estate investing websites have all kinds of blinking lights and pop-up windows…A pet peeve, I suppose…
They boast to be a wealth creating educational institution that uses real estate investing to accomplish this wealth.
I looked at the curriculum at Nouveau Riche, as this is all that really matters…Are you going to learn something useful…
I was quite impressed…It includes 15 home study classes, speaking on flipping houses, multi-family dwellings, working with mortgages, acquiring private money (would have been most helpful to us in the beginning of our endeavors), negotiations, short sales…you name it…
Photo right: One of our real estate investment properties on the market in Dallas, Texas
The website states that Nouveau Riche uses time-tested, foundational principles that other institutions of higher learning implement.
I wanted to pass this information on along to you, as this seems to be a great introduction into real estate with advanced curriculum as well…
