Online sale shopping

Guest post by Jewel Cole
I logged into my Internet to do some online shopping and my homepage get.wildblue.com/ popped up. I knew that Ann Taylor Loft, my favorite store EVER, was having one of their 40% off sales. Not only did I love the way their clothing fit, but also I never had to pay full price for anything. If I found something I wanted to buy, I knew I only had to wait a few weeks and an email would pop up in my inbox letting me know that it was sale time. Sometimes, the sale was only on specific things like 50% off tops, buy one pair of pants and get the second pair half off, or 50% off sale items. However, the sale that I always waited for was 40% off the entire store, which usually happened once every quarter. The risk I ran by waiting to until a sale occurred to shop was that they wouldn’t have the size or color that I wanted. This rarely happened, though since their online stock was always much greater than in an actually retail store.

Tired.....

It's to work and back home.....that's all I do anymore, since my life took a sudden turn back in August.  Now, I just maintain and hope that things will get better.  I wish there was someone who I could come home to and not be alone, but there's no need for an old woman these days.  Guys look the other way when I walk in places, and their eyes move to the younger more beautiful women.  It's just a matter of time before those people are where I am, today but that's another story......I just hate being alone.

Chocolate/Fruit

 Enticing isn't it, to think of biting into one of these morsels made fresh and shipped to your door?  That's exactly what you can expect from this website.  You can follow them on Shari's twitter   as well, for daily updates and sales.  Facebook has them listed and they have several picture's downloaded for your viewing pleasure.  Just feast your eyes upon the tasty stock they offer, and shop for a gift that won't last long.

Storms?

The power went off last night during the night.  I know that we weren't forecast to have any bad weather or storms.  It puzzling to know how it happened, and when.  I know it was during the night because I watched TV until I went to bed and it hadn't happened by then.  I will need to find a wind up clock, since this will be a problem for me getting up and going to work.

Merchants

I know nothing about this stimulus funding for businesses, but I understand that it's become a good thing to have.  The merchant financing  for businesses helps when the actual owner's are short on finances.  Economic times have been very hard on small businesses, and many have fallen under the load.  It's good to see that some were able to make it through without going under.

Grandchildren

I'm facing the event of becoming a great grandmother this December.  It's making an old woman of me, and I don't like looking in the mirror lately either.  I hear that the baby is a girl and they tell me the name, which I understand is wanted to be unique.  It's a pretty name and I hope the baby will be pretty as well.  It's hard to tell how the baby will look in sonogram's, so we'll have to wait till the birth.

North Carolina

 Legal matters are usually solved in your local living areas.  The people who live in the Raleigh area, will know about the  raleigh business lawyers   because they are listed in the phone directories.  Business owner's will benefit in using one of these lawyers, because of the liabilities that businesses face on a daily basis.  Click on the above link and visit their website.

A Lawyer

I'm looking at the need to find a lawyer, in the next few weeks.  A problem has risen in my life that will require the help of a professional in the legal fields.  I sure hope this will go quickly and be an easy trek, because I'm not blessed with lots of money.

Discounts

It's time to get things set up for the coming holiday's.  You will need to order ahead of time, so that you can receive your items in time for Christmas.  Shopping at the red envelope discounts online  will give you more for your money, with quality gifts, anyone will love.  Finding unique gifts has become easier with online stores and shops.  Check out the above link, to see if you can use their gifts.

The Cat

I'm trying to get some work done, and the cat has decided to intervene or intrude in my efforts.  I know that she's needing me to notice her, but I need to get this work done, because the deadline is today.  I lost internet service earlier in the week, and wasn't able to do this work in time.  Now, I am rushing to get it done while the time lasts.

Creations

I'm sure that many of you have been on Facebook recently and there are many website's being advertised on there.  Twitter, also gives many websites the advantage of advertising.  When you think of personal gifts, I think you should consider looking at the Personal Creations   pages or clicking on the above link and visiting the actual website.  These gifts are very different and will give pleasure to each person.

Mom

Went to the nursing home last weekend to see Mom, and my step dad.........they are maintaining fairly so, but things aren't as great for them as they were when they entered the place.  I hope that the food gets better, because that's the one thing that my step dad enjoyed.  A place like that has many budget requirements, and I hope it doesn't cut back on the quality and quantity of the food.  It's hard enough being in a place such as that, without having to suffer through meals that aren't savory.

A Friend

I lost another friend today, at least that's when I found out that he had passed.  It really affected me, because there were several times, when he and I would sit and talk about things that mattered to us.  We would share a beer while we talked and after awhile, the music would catch his mood and he would start dancing.  If you were the woman at his table or near him, you would get your shoes danced off.  Tom was a very sweet person, and surly will be missed.

A Wedding

I don't believe there will ever be another wedding for me, but I'm sure there are many who will do the event this year.  There are several ways to go about getting ready for the big day, and now the electronic world has stuck it's nose in the plans.  They are offering  the best wedding planning apps  that can be  accessed on several different electronic devices.  I've noticed that several cell phones are setting up apps for all sorts of items and helps.
 

Down Hill

I made it to the sixty's and now from the looks of everything, it's all down hill from here.  To a sixty year old woman, that is not a good thing.  It means everything is starting to get old and wrinkled not to mention the sagging skin and fat.  I'm not trying to tell God how to do things, but wouldn't it have been nice if the whole thing had gone in reverse?

I See Them

 The person who invented a  barcode scanner   should be a very rich person, these days.  You find them everywhere, doing the job that they are made to do.  I remember the days when we had to ring in the amounts per products and when these came on the scene, it was as if the whole marketing era became easier.  These units are worth their weight in gold and the business owner's are very aware of it.

How To React

You are glad to hear from your child and want to know how they are doing and the way things are going for them.  You don't want to put up with a drunk who is beyond reasonable thinking and wanting to whine to Momma.  After the second call, you get enough of the crap and reject the next one.  These calls have been every 3 to 4 minutes and nothing's really getting said or done.  When you reject that call, get ready for the onslaught of gripes that this person will give you on the voice mail.

Antenna

I'm not quite sure what the cellular booster antenna   is supposed to do.  It looks as though it's pertaining to cellular phone enhancement in service and connections.  I see that you are able to purchase these items at online stores, and the above link will carry you to a store that is involved in many different electronic items and accessories.  For more information about the antenna's, click on the above link and do some shopping.

Get To Gethers

It looks as though it won't be long before the holiday's arrive, and all the family dinners that go with it.  I'm ready to eat, but not ready to spend the money, we feel is necessary for one of those holiday's.  Either way, it's become a trend to make as much enjoyment out of this as possible.  So, I will make myself available to visit and dine in the manner expected.

Travel

 Those of you that are still considering a small trip before the winter sets in, should also consider finding a good  roadside assistance club  to help in case of break downs.  It's a good thing to have ready help, when traveling the long roads.  You can find that it gets remote out in some of the spots you wish to visit.  For information about this roadside assistance companies, search at the above link.

DFW

So, how do you fine people of the DFW area and surrounding counties, like this weather?  It's not the triple digit and it's really nice at night.  Almost like football weather.........finally!  So, we are on the up side of fall and winter is approaching fast.  Are we prepared for the outcome of this winter, that's heading our way?  Remember last year's winter was slightly rough on us Texans.  So, here we go head first into the coming months.

Cars Accessories

There's always a floor mat in the floorboards of the cars you buy.  It's constantly moving back and forth, each time you get in or exit your car.  I find myself reaching down and adjusting it to keep it from getting crumpled up under my feet.  I find that with time I need new ones, and since I have an Olds, I can shop for oldsmobile custom floor mats  at this online store.  I consider shopping online to be much easier and convenient, since I work a full week, with not much time to shop.

Small Trips

Now that I live outside of Dallas, I have to drive 35 miles in to get there and do things like visiting or shopping at certain stores.  Out where I live the stores are limited and you take what you can get.  There's more to choose from in Dallas, and my sister likes to go there often.  Today, is going to be one of those days, and where we will end up is in the wind right now.  Who knows what the day will bring?

TracFones

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TracFone for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I found that the only way to control my cell phone expenses was to go the "pre-pay" way.  When looking at my recent cell phone bill, I began to  see the Light  about exactly how much I was spending on those service plans.  It didn't take me long to realize that I needed a TracFone   plan I could control and have things limited to my needs.  My finances are considered "fixed income", so therefore I must have control over my spending.  
For  Real TracFone customers  there are no contracts, no credit checks, no activation charges or cancelation fees. plus great nationwide coverage and excellent reception/connectivity.  There are several different brands and style of phones to choose from with  So many features  extra.  As  Real TracFone customers   you can stay in touch with your kids and other family members during the hot days of summer.

I found that through the actual airtime I needed, I could be a person totally in control. All I need to do is is buy one of their phones, then activate it.  I know that I can have the convenience of buying airtime when I need it. suggest that you consider looking into this service, if you are looking to have something you can control.  I know that it's easy to get caught up in other plans but consider the basic needs of your family and decide on those.

Memories

I recently saw a person that I had chance to talk with, years back.  This person had problems and I was the one she chose to vent to.  I offered the best advice I could think of at that moment.  Today, this person let me know that I was the only one who had encouraged her to do, what she did.  The result of her decision, produced a lovely child, that she now cherishes.  What a nice way to give someone the courage to do what they really wanted to do anyway. 

Become A Paramedic

This weekend, our country pauses to remember 9/11 and pay tribute to the one's lost in that horrible tragedy.  It's with our sincere hopes, that all who have been through this experience, can finally get some closure.  As with all times of this nature, we humble ourselves in thankfulness to our men and women of the military. 
Although, there have been other threats, we the American people strive to combat all foes against our proud country.

Shopping

 The time is upon us for the coming holiday season.  Many of you will shop early and have it all out of the way before the actual season arrives.  Like me there will be those who wait until the last few days to do our shopping and that's a problem.  Thanks to online shopping we can get things done from home or work in a small amount of time. 
There is always the dreaded  games for kids   that we must try and shop for.  Finding the right on at a good cost is very hard and we always look to find bargains.  The sales are great and we wonder if the quality will be as good considering the sale price.  Smaller children will be easier to shop for, because you don't worry about whether the toy will last or not.  They grow so fast and loose interest in the toy before long anyway. 
Electronics for the older group becomes a task to shop for, when considering the latest products on the market.  It's always a shopper's market during the months before the holidays, with all the new items suppliers have listed.  Do plenty of research and decide on the options before your actual purchase.  It's a smart practice and will save you money for other items.

We Learn

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too,
so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love
for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone
you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every
sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Don't be afraid that your life will end,
be afraid that it will never begin.

Alone

Ever felt useless when around other people?  It's become a way of life with me, since I am alone and living in my mature years.  Darn, that was a nice way of saying I old and haven't got a life.  I find that being alone has it's pro's and con's.......I can do as I please most of the time, but there are times I long for a partner to share my life with.  It's those times, that I see others with their spouses, sharing moments that I once shared with someone.  Boy, do I feel on the outside, looking in, during those times.
