Merchant Accounts 2007-07-16 13:57:55 These can be really really useful. They can also be a pain in the butt if your doing business with crooked people. I had a friend with an adult website that had her accounts frozen on more than one occasion due to people using stolen credit cards on her site. Can you imagine what it must have felt like to have money in the bank and not be able to get to it because of something someone else did to you.
You can take credit and debit cards with a Merchant Account and a lot of people only use credit and debit cards now a days instead of checks or paying with cash. I went to a gas station the other day that wouldn’t expect anything but cash or credit/debit cards. I though that was a little bit over the top but I guess if the owner feels thats the safer way to do things its his business. I guess with so many people stealing gas due to the high prices a person might have to resort to something like that. But if there stealing gas there is a good chance that there using a stol Read more:Accounts
A hot tub and a swimming pool 2007-07-16 12:53:28
We have a friend that turned 50 years old this weekend. She had a party but her sisters husband doesn’t like us so we didn’t go. We didn’t want to make it so that she couldn’t see her sister on her birthday. We visited her last night to see if she liked her present and she invited us over to sit in her hot tub and swim in the pool for a few hours.
I try to not be a materialistic person, but I love going over to her beautiful clean house and sitting by her perfect sparkling pool and sitting in that jacuzzi. Its really really nice to be able to soak in it until you get to hot and then go jump into the pool and cool off. She lives less than a minutes drive from my house. Her yard is always thick and perfectly cut. Its surrounded by big tall trees (it is in the country) . The jacuzzi is a big one that can seat 6 people and it has those lights in the bottom that change colors. White, yellow, blue, turquoise, green, red. Its really cool.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire 2007-07-15 14:53:55 This weekend i finally got to see the new HarryPotter
movie The order of the Phoenix. i am a huge Harry Potter fan and i did read the book. This movie unlike the others stayed closer to what the book contained, however I was not as impressed with the directing as I was the others. I feel as though this director might have lacked some creativity or motivation or something along those lines. In two occasions we saw two special effects that were witnessed in the previous film. In my opinion this was a very lazy attempt to get past creatiing anything new. many of the other special effects also seemed to lack imagination. This was disappointing because in this film we see Dumbledoor duel Voldemort and we see much bigger magic than we have in any of the other films.
The movie itself was wonderful. Anything written by JK rowling could never be anything but wonderful. I did enjoy the portrayal of Luna Lovegood in the film. Her character was done perfectly. She is jus Read more:Goblet
Criticsrant.com 2007-07-19 13:27:31 Up until a few months ago I really didn’t pay a lot of attention to movie review sites. I’m working at home now and not having to work as much to make the money I need I have a little bit more free time for that sort of thing. For that reason a good review site is something I can appreciate. Its even better when I can win a prize there too.
I have to give two thumbs and two big toes (I can do that, I don’t wear shoes) up for CriticsRant.com This site has movie reviews and movie discussions which I liked also. I joined in on the discussion of the recent harry Potter Movie. Like myself a lot of us had a problem with the director.
There are even reviews tv shows. I watch a lot more Tv than I do rent or go to the movies so thats important to me. i might see a preview for a tv series and the previews might not really intrigue me, but a review might.
My favorite quote from there has to be: “School bus accidents are more fun than this show. I’ve been to the
Pay Day Loans 2007-07-19 12:58:07 A pay day loan is an advance or short term loan loan that is intended to cover a borrower’s urgent expenses until their next payday. Typical loans are between $100 and $1500, are usually on a 2 week term, and usually have interest rates in the range of 390 percent to 900 percent (annualized). This is also sometimes reffered to as a Cash Advance. Cashadvance-fast.com is a website that does this very thing.
These loans are often the only option available to consumers with bad credit who have urgent expenses and cannot get a bank loan, credit card, or other lower-interest alternative. Critics counter that most borrowers find themselves in a worse position when the loan is due than they were when they took the loan, with many getting trapped in a cycle of debt. Unfortunately the debtor often has no other option.
I have never had to use one of these services before, but my husband has. My husband is terrible at managing money. I’m sure when he lived in Florida he had to take Read more:Loans
Hotels across the country 2007-07-19 12:45:01 Bear’s way of trqaveling when on business trips rarely require making hotel reservations . He usually just packs his thing and heads in a general direction and where ever his instincts lead him is where he ends up. it can be kind of frustrating because i can ask him “where are you going today” and he will say “I don’t know but I will call you when I get there.”
That won’t be the case when he goes to Florida for Bike Week. He will have to make reservations somewhere if he expects to get a room anyway that weekend. probably well in advance too. He does a lot of sales during bike
When the time comes to make hotel reservations though Hotelreservations.com is a good place to do that. They can conveniently be made right there oin the website. Often when ever he calls me to tell me where he is at I will get on there website and do a search in what ever town he is in and find the cheapest hotel for him to stay. It has to be a place wi Read more:Hotels
Bite me again. 2007-07-18 21:21:59 One again its time for electric Venom’s Bite me. Actually I am linking to the one she had on Friday because I am really really late doing it, ha ha. I guess being busy means I am making money anyway,
I smell a lawsuit brewing . . . 2007-07-18 18:12:23 You know I suspect both women acted inappropriately here. But is doesn’t justify the damage that was done or that kind of behavior. I bet the park is going to get sued because they didn’t act quicker. You can tell by reading the article.
Goddess Help Me! 2007-07-18 17:25:29 My Home Schooling 13 year old genius has developed an intense interest in Alchemy!!!!! I am all for encouraging this sort of interest. Alchemy has been practiced in Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, Persia, India, and China, in Classical Greece and Rome, in the Muslim civilization, and then in Europe up to the 19th century—in a complex network of schools and philosophical systems spanning at least 2500 years. The discipline is of interest mainly to historians of science and philosophy, and for its mystic, esoteric, and artistic aspects (and apparently 13 year old boys too). It was also of the main precursors of modern sciences, and continues to be the mainstay of modern chemical and metallurgical industries.
He is now learning ways to turn pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters funny colors (including a surprisingly realistic golden color) using heat and any make-shift acid he can fish out of my kitchen and he is begging us for a Chemistry set for Christmas and some type of heating Read more:Goddess
Just Say Hi 2007-07-18 14:59:26 Just say hi is a real free dating service service. You don’t have to pay for anything at any time. You can access all of the sites features for free without ever being asked for your credit card or charged anything. Thats really really hard to find. Most so called free dating sites will allow you access but will charge you for most of there services. And there not cheap services either. A lot of them charge as much as 40 to 60 bucks to access them.
I can remember a friend of mine who had been single for some time. Her husband had left her for a young woman and she wanted to join one of the dating sites she ran across online, but she was going to have to save up for one because unfortunately he left her with all of the bills too.
Russian Brides 2007-07-21 21:50:29 A lot of people have heard about the Russian
dating scams out there. You meet Russian brides online and get to know her for a while. Then you will get asad story about herself or someone in her family. There is an emergency, someone close to her is sick and there is no money for a doctor. You send her money, sometimes more than once and then you never hear from her again.
This is not always the case. There are true Russian girls that want to marry Americans. It seems a woman getting married and having a family in Russia is a lot more important than it is here in the USA. A woman might go to collage and get a degree but in her mind her family is the most important thing and having one is much more important to her than a career ever will be. The Russian woman’s attitude about herself is feminine. She expects to be treated as a lady. The Russian woman has not been exposed to the world of rampant feminism that is so obvious in America . The Russian woman likes to look ni Read more:Brides
Free Online Dating 2007-07-21 21:38:22 Truly the world has gotten a lot smaller with the advent of the internet. People from all sides of the globe come face to face with each other all of the time. My mother commented on a womans blog the other day and struck up a conversation with the woman to learn that she was talking to a woman in Germany.
Along with meeting new people from all over the world there is the coming of online dating that allows to you date people online that you would not have met otherwise.
There are some so called free dating sites out there that are not truly free. You will sign up and set up your profile only to discover that they want money from you to access all of there features. You know important features like email and IM addresses. Justsayhi.com is a truly free online dating site. Theywon’t ask you for a credit card anytime. Read more:Dating
Someone bought the haunted school house 2007-07-21 09:29:53 A couple bought the 100 year old haunted school house on pleasant view hill. Its been standing empty for as long as anyone can remember. Its supposed to be haunted, but people tend to start saying that about any building that stands vacant for very long. The last person who bought it and tried to fix it up died a strange mysterious death so that revived all sorts of rumors. A couple from Tennessee bought it. I’m guessing them to be in there 40’s with grown kids. They seem like really really nice people. If there are spirits there I think they will like them a lot.
I got to look inside the building for the first time. I always find old neglected buildings so enchanting. I guess its just that dark part of me. The same thing that made me like graveyards when I was a teenagers.
The floor of the building is . . . um . . . bad is one way to put it. Imagine yourself standing in one place and having people walking around you and there footsteps causing such
Fitnesspal.com 2007-07-20 17:51:14 Myfitnesspal.com is a site I have been a member of for awhile. I haven’t used it in while because lately I just can’t seem to find time to get to the gym. Its really frustrating, but oh well. However when I was working out I found it to be very very useful. You have to love there Calorie Counter. Everyone hates calorie counting so its nice to have a program that does it for you. Actually I believe they call it a food diary. The whole thing is automated so when you put a food in it ads up the calories, sat fat, carbs, protein, and everything else so you know exactly what you have eaten all day long.
A membership to MyFitnessPal.com will get you all of the tools you need for your weight loss efforts. Your membership is 100% free and will get you food diary and the free calorie counter I’ve been bragging about, a searchable food database of over 6000 items and the option to add items if you can’t find them in the database, a personal food datab
2007-07-24 08:11:28 I personally know someone who has been horribly affected by this. He was not turned away but his Dr insisted there was nothing wrong with him. He has a terrible back injury he suffered in Iraq. He can’t sit or stand and lay down for longer than 20 minutes at a time. But the Va Dr insists she can’t find anything that would cause him that kind of pain and denied his disability claim.
Attack on Bottled Water 2007-07-24 08:08:40 The argument is that the plastic bottles are bad for the environment and that people should drink tap water because its just as good. But i don’t believe that bottles water has Chlorine in it does it.

Baja real estate 2007-07-23 16:35:38 Baja California (literally “lower California” in Spanish) is the northernmost state of Mexico. It is sometimes informally referred to as Baja California Norte, to distinguish it from both the Baja California peninsula, of which it forms the northern half, and Baja California Sur, the adjacent state that covers the southern half of the peninsula.
There are large immigrant populations from the United States and Central America due to its proximity to San Diego, cheaper cost of living compared to San Diego, and the number of higher paying jobs in comparison to the rest of Mexico and Latin America.
It does look like beautiful rugged country. Being on the Peninsula there is a lot of waterfront property, although the Baja Real Estate didn’t seem to me like it was any cheaper than anywhere else. I have always thought Mexico Real Estate would be cheaper than what I saw in the Baja real estate listings. But I guess when compared to the part of California thats in the USA
A very sad thing 2007-07-23 15:52:49 This kind of photo retouching is why young women starve themselves to death and why older women look in the mirrors with hatred as the wrinkled start to appear.
Eating your placenta 2007-07-22 10:40:28 You know animals do this, so why shouldn’t human mothers as well. It might seem gross to some. But a lot of women around the world have found ways to do this and discovered that they don’t suffer post partum depression to the extent that a lot of women that don’t do this suffer.
I remember seeing something on TV a few years ago about a woman in the UK who brought it home, cooked it, and ate it. She said it tasted like liver.
No hospital has the right to tell her she can’t do that if she wants too. I’m glad she took the issue to court.
This Report hits home 2007-07-22 10:32:12 The reason it hits home is because I live in a mobile home and I know all about formaldehyde contamination. It made me and my husband both unbelievably sick a few months after we moved in here. My husband and daughter ended up with pneumonia. I have very strange body chemistry and I not only got sick but i developed hives that plagued me through the month of December and then other problems as time passed.
My friends plastic surgery 2007-07-26 22:55:41 Last summer a friend of mine had a breast lift and breast augmentation, a tummy tuck, liposuction, the whole works. She is nearing her 60′th birthday. She had two kids and a C section and really wanted to have to work done. Her husband is a supervising engineer at the nuclear one so she certainly could afford it.
She told me about it before they did it and it sounded really really painful. She told me about all of the places they were going to make incisions at and how they were going to remove all of the loose skin on her stomach and cut a hole for her belly button to go through. To listen to someone describe it it sounded like they were going to hack her up. It also sounded like she was going to be in a lot of pain after they got done.
I saw her a few weeks after the surgery and she looked really great. She showed me the before and after pictures and let me tell you, its truly amazing what they can do. After just a few weeks the incisions were hardly noticeabl
