Halloween stuff already?

I can’t believe that stores have the stuff out 2 months early. I went to a website looking for some Rain Gauges for my mom and saw Halloween stuff on sale. They also had Christmas decorations already.
I guess I could get a jump on my holiday shopping. But it still seems weird that it’s […]

What do you think about credit repair programs?

I know most of them are a scam. But there are some out there that give you useful information. In one program I read that if the credit bureaus can’t verify information then they have to take it off of your credit report. If you challenge the information (I can’t remember the exact terminology) and […]

I ordered my books

I ordered them from 2 different book stores online. I expedited shipping on one book so I should have it by next weeks class. The other I should have by next Friday.
I looked at several stores and no store had both books that I needed. My math book was only available at 1 store and […]

I’m researching investing in Real Estate Trust Deeds

You know the saying if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is? Well, that’s what the idea of investing in a real estate trust deed seems to be. Low risk and up to a 12% return. Sounds awesome. However, I need to read more information before I put down my hard earned […]

I’m looking for free plug-ins

I need a word count plug-in for starters. I hate going back and editing posts, then counting them and figuring out I’m a word or two short. But I don’t want one of the plug-ins that shows the word count on the post. I want to see it on my admin pages. I don’t think […]

Worried about getting a lemon?

I am. Especially with all of the flooding that’s occurred in some of the mid-western states. What happens is unscrupulous dealers will buy the cars from the flooded areas and bring them to dry states like PA, NJ, WV etc. Then they will resell the cars but never disclose the fact that they were in […]

My comments are on moderation

So stop leaving your spam comments. They won’t get through. I just go in, mark them all for deletion and viola they’re gone.
I don’t even know why I’m getting so much spam on this blog lately. It’s been increasing in the last 2 or 3 weeks. I hope some of these people at least have […]

I’m trying to clean up my credit

My credit is horrible right now. I have 1 credit card and 1 personal loan that I’m using to try to rebuild my credit. I go to different websites looking for information from people who work in the credit industry. They will offer you tips on improving your credit score, the best ways to apply […]

Where should I take my friend for lunch?

My friend was the one who convinced me to take the class at the community college. I’m saving a lot of money by doing so. I thought the class had already started and she let me know that the class starts on 09/04 and that I still had time to register.
I had to pay for […]

Do you think customer service stinks?

I think some stores have gotten better with their customer service departments. Some stores could definitely use some help. That’s where a mystery shopper can come in. Mystery shoppers go into stores, restaurants, banks and businesses in general and shop like normal. Then they fill out surveys describing their experiences during that particular trip.
Businesses […]

I’m saving some money this semester

Yep, you guessed it. I’m taking the class at the community college. It’s called analytical methods and it’s basically a pre-calculus class. It’s costing me 1/3 of what I would pay at Pitt.
Books however are another story. 2 books for 2 classes are gonna set me back $175 and that’s because I’m buying them over […]
