Remember When

A lot of accidents happen now in America even if we try to become the most careful driver. In the unlikely event that you encounter an accident, here are things to remember when you encounter an accident and how to file your auto insurance claim.Understand your policy. Make sure you understand your auto insurance policy thoroughly before you go file for insurance claim. Read and reread your auto i

I remember as a kid how I excited I was when I woke up on a school day and discovered several inches of snow had fallen on the ground. The first thought that always hit me was, "I hope school is closed!" In those days, there wasn't a whole lot of technology to announce school closings. In fact, the primary communication method was the radio. And the radio stations only announced the school delays

Remember a time when this home would've sold itself? Multiple offers, over asking, people fighting .... Now, a short sale? What's a short sale?Disclaimer: No affiliation (that we know of) to Cindi Hagley. Her video, we're sure, hits home for many. If we inadvertently help in selling this home, we hope she remembers us!

When borrowing money to buy a home, there are certain deductions that you are afforded by the ole tax man that you should be aware of come tax time in April. The following are some of the deductions you may forget about when buying a home: POINTS ~ Points on a home loan are tax deductable if they are used to bring down the mortgage interest rate.

That I might not be doing NaBloPoMo this year? Well, the madness took over and I joined it.

Many of those who intend to vote in favor of the discriminatory Proposition 8 in California, designed to overturn the California Supreme Court's decision affirming the right of same-sex couples to marry, are likely operating under certain false assumptions concerning both the nature of same-sex love as well as the nature of traditional religious prohibitions against any sexual activity outside the

Last week’s Vista Group lunch was brought ahead a week because of my commitments to the Miss (Universe) New Zealand pageant this week, and I was saddened to learn it was the final (for now) that we’ll have with Jim Donovan. Jim’s off to Great Britain in about three weeks’ time, and by the time the Vista Group reconvenes he’ll be enjoying ever-longer days and the bright grey of the British summer sky rather than the dark grey of the winter one. (Yes, I am taking the mick.)   Jim and I arrived early and chatted about the pageant, and after the arrival of Mark Di Somma (who relayed a comment his Italian father had about immigrants) and Natalie Ferguson (to whom we stared each time we made a comment that we chauvinistically felt could only be addressed by a woman) we

Recently I was unfortunate to have a car accident, it was nothing major and thankfully no one was hurt, well apart from my car that is. When you crash a car you will obviously feel bad about it, but the fact that you just survived a potentially dangerous situation may set your mind racing and you'll feel a bit wobbly and chances are a bit foolish if you are at fault for the accident.The thing is that you may forget what you need to do in the event of a crash with regards to car insurance; you need to make sure that you get all the necessary information so that your claim can be processed smoothly. As long as you can stay calm and remember all the points that I'll be mentioning then you should be okay.First of all at the moment of impact you are likely to suffer from shock as mentioned earl

Franchising research is a dangerous business for potential Franchisees. The Franchisor can hold all the cards….unless you see the relationship for what it is!I’ve set out below 4 rules that I go into in more depth in my book. Ignore these at your peril, but take them into account and you and the Franchisor can have discussions with the deck not stacked against you.1) The Franchisor is wishing to enter into a contract with you that will enable him to grow his business. The relationship that you develop is based around MUTUAL benefit. In the light of this, there is no need to feel that you have to impress the Franchisor or that when you meet with them you are applying for a job.2) The purchase price of the Franchise should be in proportion to the rewards that are realistically on offer.

[Cross-posted] We’ve ended January 2008 here in New Zealand with 10 murders. The government is saying this is an anomaly, but is it?   Crime has been rising in New Zealand steadily since I have been observing the numbers and for older New Zealanders, the latest figures are a disgust.   I am not overly surprised, given the rising gap between rich and poor, suggesting a mismanagement of the economy and an absence of jobs, while values and education have suffered at the same time.   Those older New Zealanders who can remember back to the 1950s remember a country with roughly half the population and 18 convictions for murder between 1951 and 1957.   I realize actual murders and successful convictions are different, but assuming that there were a

I remember when I used to get up and shower every morning.I remember when I used to do my hair and makeup and go to work.I remember not having to start work until 11am, but not getting to knock off until midnight.I remember lazy Sunday mornings and busy Sunday evenings.I remember split shifts and quick naps.I remember prepping, cooking and serving 150 people.I remember the thrill of planning and prepping platters for functions.I remember using red bull and caffeine to get through each and every shift.I remember the withdrawal symptoms when I quit.I remember being disgusted that my Head Chef was shagging a 15yo upstairs while everyone else worked their asses off.I remember good natured teasing.I remember covering for the Apprentice when he showed up at work still high.I remember getting screamed at the next day for it.I remember having spare money.I remember Tuesday nights playing 8-ball and underage drinking.I remember knock-off mocktails, spiked with vodka when the boss wasn't lookin

When many of us buy comic books we frequently read them and place them on a pile of old comic books or our book shelves. This attitude changes when we are collecting these comic books. In these cases we take great steps to preserve our comic book collection. There are instances where we may decide to sell comic books that we have doubles of or ones that we feel are bringing the value of our collection down.To ensure that you are able to sell comic books that you have no need of there are certain steps that must be seen to. As many people want to have good quality comic books whether it is just for reading pleasure or for serious collecting you will need to make sure that both the inside and the exterior of the comic book are in excellent condition.To sell comic books you will need to preserve the appearance of your comic books. You can store them in clear plastic sleeves with a piece of acid free cardboard at the back of the comic book to give the comic book a strong support. With the

After hearing Britney, Asher, and Nora's harmonies sparsely accompanied by beautiful pianos on "This Is Where We Are," I was hooked on this new album. New York's Ravens & Chimes have a new full-length debut called Reichenbach Falls off the Better Looking Records (Album Leaf, Tristeza). These guys are one of the best indie folk pop sounds I've heard for a while and those lyric rich acoustic tracks don't hurt either. Bands that can translate a great sound from the past to a more modern, multi-instrument layered sound have a proven range of talent that really attracts new and old listeners. Another example of the good kind of catchy. Get these songs from the new album and look out for a bigger tour next spring! (fingers crossed).

As the snow begins to melt and the leaves begin to turn you suddenly realize spring is in the air. Soon spring rains and gentle breezes will be upon us as mother nature’s beauty is once again reborn. Here are some important dates to remember when preparing for spring.Spring is a time when we begin to feel energized ready to take on those projects we weren’t able to complete before winter arrived. By the beginning of March you should be sure to get out and ensure your gutters are clear of any debris from the winter. The spring rains are going to come and you don’t want damage as a result of poor drainage.By mid March you should have ensured that all grates and drainage in your yard are clear. If you weren’t able to get all your leaves raked up last fall now is the time to get them off the lawns and clean out the dead stuff from your flower beds so that spring flowers can peak through. By the beginning of April you can consider removing your winter storm windows and any winter we

Jewelry fashion is dynamic. Jewelers are always coming up with new designs and new materials from which jewelry can be fashioned. Even stunning pieces of jewelry may lose their popularity after a few years. Gold jewelry however is always in fashion. Jewelry collectors and even simple wearers like gold because it is beautiful and long lasting. Gold does not discolor because it almost never reacts with any other material. Rarely is someone allergic to gold so it always a good choice to go for gold. When you are considering buying gold jewelry, you have to be familiar with the terminologies used. The purity of gold is measured in karats and the mark on the ring indicating this is a number followed by K (such as 24K, 18K, 12K). K stands for karat. 24K is pure gold. 18K is a mixture of 18 parts gold and 6 parts of a metal or a mixture of metals, making 18K 75% gold. 14K is 14 parts gold and 10 parts of a metal or a mixture of metals, making it 58.3% gold. The percentage of gold for 12K and

So you have decided to sell your home, the procedure is almost like going through that big test you have been nervous about all week. When you sell a home this would involve, which can be one of the main important factors that can decide the result of what is to come. This may come as something new to you but a presentation is everything in real estate from the appearance of the home to the appearance of the real estate agent that is just the way it is and has been -remember that. The home you are trying to sell, let's say for example that it comes standard with an attached garage you will need to go through your garage, and weed every thing out previous to you selling your residence. Here is a high likelihood that you keep old things in your garage, which over time can pile up and create one big fat mess. If your garage is dirty and un-kept this maybe something you would want to focus on, you will obviously want to clean it up. When some one is looking to buy a home they will be look

Heatherette fashion shows are known for being crazy. Wild designs, over the top celebrity models ... Remember when Nicole Richie showed us her goods, that was at a Heatherette show ... So to see Lil Mama perform, half naked men parading down the runway, and small children modeling couture dresses was no surprise. But to see former porn star Jenna Jameson looking like a damn anorexic duck? Yeah that shocked me a bit. Look at how hot Jenna used to be. What a pretty face, nice body (even if it was enhanced) ... just a nice porn star next door. I have no idea why being one of the most desirable women to men )and women) wasn't enough for her. Jenna had to go off and jack herself up. She lost a ton of weight, got a pair of duck lips, and a scary hair cut. There she is in all of her glory prancing down the runway. Ladies, let this be a lesson to you being skinny isn't always hot! The look just doesn't work for everyone. If you are blessed with a great rack and killer ass KEEP

I know this is just an incredibly unflattering picture of Sheryl Crow, but she does look like a tranny and since I wasn’t too crazy about Sheryl Crow to begin with, I will confidently say that she’s on a one-way train to fuglytown.

Uh… Huh? She was pretty hot once upon a time, am I right? At what point do you decide that being attractive is overrated and instead choose to dress like a methed out pimp clown? At least just go for a regular pimp clown, or even a methed out pimp, but the combination she’s chosen is sure to invade my nightmares and leave me crying for the good old days of Sister Act 2. Get back in the habit, Lauryn! The habit of perhaps, glancing into a mirror before you leave the house! Wow, that was awful.

There are several things/ issue when you leave a job.. What are those? What do you want to take care when you leave your job?1. Rebuild the bridge before you leave.Always remember that you will need a reference from the old/previous employer.. so fill out the gaps before you leave.2.

Anyone who's been to Britain (and even many who haven't, poor souls) will recognise a London taxi at a glance. Aside from the distinctive shape they're most often black. Except when they're pink. A London-based customer, testing "LTI Vehicle's" claim that it will make cabs in any color, had one condition when ordering his new taxi - it must be in candyfloss pink. LTI's Steve Everton said: "We laughed when we first got the order but immediately got to work mixing the colours. We're really pleased with the final result and it's created quite a stir in the factory. I dare say it will create a stir on the streets of London as well." No word on why the customer requested pink except, perhaps, to flatter his female riders or, more likely, to stand out on crowded Regent Street. The most intelligent taxis on the face of the earth, London cabs have changed little over the decades, though the current TX4, launched in 2006, comes with a

One of the most thought about aspects of any wedding is the wedding cake. Every bride wants their wedding cake to be the focal point of the wedding reception table and something that guests will admire and talk about even after the wedding day.With so many designs and styles available plus the added option to customize and accessorize your wedding cake to suit your wedding theme the options are truly endless.Before you embark on enrolling someone with the job of creating your cake it is worth making preliminary decisions before hand. Having an idea of what your budget is and what sort of cake you have in mind could save you a considerable amount of time. Do you know what filling the cake will have? Sponge or fruit cake? Do you want a tiered cake? If so how may tiers do you want for your wedding cake?. Having a few of these details already decided will help both you and the caterer you decide to employ.Although it is a good idea to have ideas in mind, stay open to suggestions from the p
