Real Estate

I sold real estate in Florida for years. When I moved to Biloxi, I thought I'd continue it, however, that was when real estate started dropping. I paid my fees every year, but I decided this year to just drop my license. First, I can't physically do it anymore and I have to give up on hoping for a miracle because it is a big waste of my time. My friend called and started talking about Indianapolis real estate and I could feel myself getting excited about the topic. I need to get past this because it is no longer a part of my life.

When will we catch a break?

Well, I have to admit this recession crap is getting on my nerves. First off, I really want to sell my house. We have had it on the market for over a year and have had exactly two inquiries about it! I have noticed that in our town no one is moving houses that are over about $175k so I am not going to lower my price because I don't think it will help. Another annoying issue is employment. Even my son is having a hard time finding a decent job and he's a nurse! I sure wish things would pick up!

My doctor made me so nervous

I had to get a bunch of tests done last week before I went to visit my doctor. He's a pretty nice guy and I don't mind when I have to see him. However, when I went in and he did his normal...reviewing my file and listening to my chest, he asked me the weirded question. He said, "Do you have a life insurance policy?" This totally freaked me out! He said, "Oh no, I didn't mean anything by that, I just wondered because now if you try you will pay alot because of the Lupus." I still keep hearing him asking that question. I hope he didn't mean anything by it!

Samsung

I was just doing the dusting around my house and happened to take note of all my electronic items (big and little). I had never realized it, but three fourths of all that I own are Samsung! When I go shopping for an electronic item I usually research reviews and then compare prices to find the best value. Apparently Samsung has met my criteria more times than not!

Parts, parts, parts

My youngest son works alot and he lives in an apartment. He also does many projects that involve cars and motorcyles. Since my husband and I are retired and only live about 5 miles from him, he orders all of his parts and such online and gives our house as the shipping address. I don't mind and I certainly understand that he is concerned about theft. There is also one more pert to this....we get to see him, at least for a few minutes quite often! Lets' see, today's shipment has a label that says Mopar parts. I'll give him a quick call and start dinner. If its ready when he gets here, he'll join us for dinner!

Free Quotes

I know that when you get some things done around the house, some places will charge you for a quote. I usually try to avoid those places. What I didn't know was that some insurance companies charge for quotes. Can you imagine that? The only way I would buy insurance is if they give me free insurance quotes. I mean my goodness, insurance is not cheap and I'm sure they make plenty of profit, so they can forget about me as a customer if they plan to bill me.

Good sleeping weather

Boy this last week and half has really tried my patience. We had record cold temperatures, which really suck because we never anticipate that, so I, like many have NO winter clothing. Finally today we got a reprieve from the cold but now the rain has moved in. I swear the only thing I've wanted to do for ten days is sleep. Everyday by noon, I am pulling the blinds and crawling back into bed! Come on Spring!

Okay, he's gone too far

My one son is always using me as a gopher (just like his dad does). I was never fond of being a gopher during their projects but I try to keep smiling and do a good job researching and running after what they need. However, I don't know what my son is working on now, but he called and said, "See if you can find me a KVM switch." What the heck is that? I have no idea and I have to say I do not feel like finding out. I think he was a little annoyed when I told him that. Oh well.

What a journey

My oldest son has had a weight problem since he was about ten years old. I suppose it is my fault because I have terrible eating habits and I'm the one who cooked for him. He is an adult now, but has still battled it for many years. He tried prescription diet pills and had side effects. He did have some luck with natural diet pills, but eventually he stopped and gained weight. He finally went and got a lapband about 20 months ago and he has lost 200 pounds. It's amazing, however, due to the cost, it is not really an option for many people.

Fat Burners

I am seriously debating getting some fat burner pills. It would seem to me that if they are "fat burners" than that would be different than diet pills so they would react differently in the body. If this is actually the case, then i would think that it would be safe to take an over the counter diet pill along with a fat burner. I am not doing this, but I am trying to research it. I think I may get a couple of things and take them to see my local pharmacist and see what he says.
