More Memory........

Have you been working at your computer and downloading different software to get certain things set up? Isn't it frustrating when that window opens up and says you don't have enough memory to download that software? It's happened to me before buying the computer I have now. Buying more memory, takes a skilled individual who knows their ddr, SDRAM, RDRAM, EDO, Cisco and many others. I'm not a tech so, that leaves me totally out. I call my computer tech son, who has an associate's degree in this field to help me. He can usually find the right one for my computer and tell me the price.

Just Say Hi.........

It's nice in a way, that your children can go on with their lives and not be dependent on you. Then there are those times, you wish they would call and at least say "hi". Sort check in and let you know they are thinking of you and was just letting you know they were "ok" too. Call it what you will, it still would be nice to hear from them ever so often. I guess that's part of the growing up and moving away thing..........yet, it doesn't have to be that far away. emoticon

Free Credit Report

Have you recently applied for a loan only to be turned down? Your credit score was too low and they can't help you? Been there and done that, believe me. It's very embarrassing and you can't remember exactly which one it was that you messed up. Believe me, you can find out by checking your credit report. The first thing banks, lenders, and credit card companies look at when considering you for a loan, a mortgage, or a charge account is your credit report.
It's possible you didn't do a thing and someone else has been using your identity. You can obtain a totally free credit report from each reporting agency per year, to keep up with your credit account. The Fair Credit Reporting Act, established in 1970, give you the right to ask for a report for these companies. Getting your free credit score is essential to you maintaining your credit effectively. Someone using your identity, to obtain credit or loans, can reek havoc with your established credit. On your annual credit report things like this are like red flags, to companies who are trying to help you with your debts. They should be to you as well, since it's your credit that's being abused. Credit Nexus, can help you find the freedom from this situation.

Recipes...........

I have visited several food websites during the past year and have really enjoyed the recipes that I've encountered. Many are from other countries and then you have the Tex-Mex and the American blends. I'm really into finding new ways of cooking and am getting tired of the same of recipes. My Recipes, is a real nice place to visit and is endorsed by several cooking clubs and magazines. They have regular cooking recipes and lite recipes for the person watching their diet. This website is almost like visiting on of the other well known websites that's been around for many years. You will find this a great place to get your chops to drooling, just looking at the pictures.

Ugly Winter Sweaters

What can we say about these things? They tend to show up in the back of our closets and just hang there. Should the time arise to find one for the season, we go groping through what's there to find one we can possibly handling wearing for one day. Appropriate or not, it's all we can do to wear these Ugly Sweaters to any such occasion. Their either too bulky or filled with all this different type of wool thread that's scratchy and itchy.
What's even worse is those brand tags in the back neck areas. One time of laundering and they are stiff and can irritate the toughest of necks. I've been given several Ugly Christmas Sweaters as presents and manage to make the giver feel they had done a good thing. You feel like walking to the nearest trash bin and tossing it in. But you take it home, just in case the person asks how you like their present.
The poor men in this world get these things, almost every Christmas. It's just the thing to give to someone who you want to impress. How about a big bright green one with all the shiny balls attached? I've seen some really gross Mens Ugly Sweaters in the office during the winter time. There's no way these guys could have looked in the mirror before leaving the house for work. If they saw what they looked like in that thing, they would laugh at themselves.
Do everyone a favor and forget that Christmas sweater this year. Unless it's a funny one with lots of ribbons, bells, and balls.
