Laptop

So many different styles and colors let alone trying to figure out what size screen you need for your laptop in today's world. It's really all about what you're going to use it for as far as I'm concerned. The storage of the computer "memory" is the most important. If you're just going to surf the Internet you don't really need anything special but if you're running multiple programs you need more memory to keep the speed of the computer cruising along.

Geo airplane

Hours of fun for our little guy. We thought we had everything to do with Geo-track train sets. And then fisher price comes out with a remote control airplane that has a train bridge underneath of it that hooks to the Geo track train set. Here we go! All aboard?

Life insurance quote

It's always good to be prepared even though you don't like thinking about the inevitable. We finally sat down the other day figuring out our budget. We needed to figure out how much life insurance we could afford. After compounding all of our bills we needed to get a few life insurance quote. Now to weed through all the pluses and minuses of these policies will take us a few more days.

Driveway alarm

Being our windows and doors don't face our driveway, it's kind of a real shocker when somebody knocks on the door unexpectedly. My husband installed a driveway alert alarm the other day. The only thing was he put it too low in the ground. It was going off in the middle of the night. Come to find out it was a rabbit hopping by.

Finance jobs

With what seems to be the new world order there doesn't seem to be any good jobs left out there. My husband's been searching since September now he's come to the point where he's going to go back to school concentrating his degrees on business. When he complete his courses, he will target the market for finance jobs. There's still quite a need for people like this in the CNY area.

Learning abc phonics

Our son has loads of learning experience fun playing different phonics on http://www.starfall.com/ . At three and a half years old its amazing to see how much he knows about keyboard and the mouse. We were watching t.v. when we heard the printer start printing and our son was the only one there. He had printed a picture of a gingerbread men that he could color with his crayons. We're still trying to figure it out. :-)

Drug rehab

It took my husband such a long time to finally convince one of his friends that he had a drug addiction. It seemed like almost once a month my husband was getting a call from his friend to help him out. After driving forty miles in the middle of the night to the friend's house the last time, my husband knocked on the door. No answer. Then he walked around the house, all the lights were on, back to the door knocking. No answer. Fearing the worst that happen my husband pushed in the door to find his friend on the floor blacked out. He was okay the next morning. In the weeks to come my husband talked him into getting help at a drug rehab. We'll see in the weeks to follow if he stays with it. Addictions can be the worst.
