Who doesn’t like to save money?  Perhaps if you have so much money that even you don’t know exactly how much, then you won’t care.  But the majority of people like to save money when they are shopping so that they will have leftover to buy other items that they want (or need).  I found an auction house for McDonough, GA called Auction Zip.  The auctions are located in that city, which is also where my aunt lives.  That was a coincidence.  There is another “auction” that takes place online called BidCactus.  This is a site that my husband ran across, and I visited their page to see it for myself.  This site is said to be more like gambling than a real auction.

You know how hard it is to find just the right gift for a female acquaintance?  I have to admit that it is very difficult for me, because everything I look at doesn’t look right.  It’s all the same, old, boring stuff year after year.  But there is a site called Ten Thousand Villages which has many unique gifts for her.  This site not only offers unique items that you won’t find anywhere else, but the prices of the items help the artisans who make them be able to earn money that they might not otherwise make.  People from Kenya, Peru, India, Guatemala, the list just goes on and on.  I found some really interesting gifts there.

Term, Whole, Variable or Universal are all different types of life insurance that you can buy.  Term life means that the policy is active for a specific number of years that you can choose yourself.  Whole life is the kind that continues your entire life until you die.  Variable life insurance is where some of the premiums are invested and any dividends paid are given to you.  The Universal means that you can add on money to your premiums that you would like invested.  Whatever kind of  life insurance you’re interested in, please keep in mind that your family will likely be counting on the money in order to pay for your funeral and to help them continue being able to afford to pay the bills.  It is nothing but smart to get this insurance.  But figuring out where to start looking for some is not so easy.  Life Insurance Agency dot com can get you quotes for all of these types of insurance, then it’s up to you to choose which one to go with.

In 2005 I applied for  social security disability while living in North Carolina, but was turned down.  While thinking about filing the appeal, my family moved to Kentucky.  I thought you had to reapply in a different state, so I didn’t file the appeal and I lost thousands of dollars of past payments.  Well, this is absolutely normal for me to do something like that; I am so ignorant about many things.  But had I gone ahead with my appeal, I would have sought out an attorney, because that is usually the only way a lot of people can be successful in their applications.  Because funds are so low in Social Security, I’ve heard that they turn almost everybody down the first time they apply.  A company called Allsup has a 98% success rate with getting people approved.  They also have 25 years experience doing so.  Federal law stipulates how much money an attorney will receive for helping you get approved and all of them do not ask for money up front.  They don’t get paid unless you win, and this is a great motivator for them.  Good Luck with your efforts and don’t give up.

The UPPAbaby Vista stroller as shown here, is a very upscale, well-made stroller that is not going to be for everyone.  For example, the price is a little prohibitive for most people, but even so there are people with less money who will want this because they want the best and safest equipment for their child and cost will not matter.  That’s the way it should be for all of us, but even if that is the case, we can’t always buy what we know would be the best.  This has a luxurious bassinet, reverse seat and easy fold features.  The product rating on this stroller is 5/5, which means that all users love it.  Visit Peppy Parents dot com to see this stroller and more of the baby items needed to make your baby’s environment as safe as possible.  This uppababy Vista is the best of the best.

If you’re thinking about having your bathroom tiling redone, why not consider some glass tile? I don’t know if you’ve even ever seen it, or if you did see it, realize what exactly it was, but you can see a lot of it on TV how-to shows.  Sometimes these products look so easy to do yourself, but the facts are that while they may not be hard to install yourself, you are not an experienced tiler and can not hope to compare.  It’s a waste of money to do this yourself unless you’ve had prior experience.  Look at the products over at Buy Tile dot com.  They have glass, ceramics, quarry, slate and many other types of tiles.  They are imported from Spain, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Mexico, India and China, as well as products that are 100% American made.  And when you need fast shipping you can find that too.  Their customer service representatives are well trained in helping customers find exactly what they need and how much.  Larger orders will see bigger discounts.  The type of tile each person chooses is not just what fits their budget, but what fits their idea of what will enhance that room of the house; or the floors in the house.  What looks good in one home may not look right in another.  One of the best ways to choose a flooring is to look at magazines or visit online sites to see designer homes.

I have been griping about the dog rescues for some time now for the simple reason that they want hundreds of dollars as adoption fees for their animals.  These are usually breed specific dog rescues, and their response to a complaint about their charges is that the vet costs money and if the potential adopter can’t afford that much, then maybe they can’t really afford to adopt a pet anyway.  Bull.  They just saw a way to make money off of the misfortunes of others and their ex-pets.  Now a rescue center in Pennsylvania has been raided and charges made against a dog rescue shelter.  The owner’s home was filled with dog cages and many of the dogs needed serious vet care.  These people are no worse than those who run the puppy mills.

P.S.  Another dog rescue group in Canada was also raided with the result that hundreds of dogs were rescued and being assessed and treated by their local humane society.  These people ought to have to be responsible for the costs of having these dogs treated.  And they also should be held responsible for the costs of spaying and neutering these animals.  All humane socities seem to require spaying and neutering; although the reasoning behind this is sound.  Bad thing is, if your dog escapes your home or back yard and is picked up by a shelter, they will cost you to retrieve them and still be required to be “fixed”.

Not long ago my family received an offer of $2,000 free life insurance through our bank.  It doesn’t particularly please me that they are handing out our mailing address to others and maybe I can call them and request this to stop.  Regardless, the insurance company also offered large amounts of insurance coverage with no exam and I chose $200,000 for my husband.  The thought of his passing on is a little worrisome as his income provides for paying most of our bills and all I get is disability, which as everyone should know, is not enough to live on.  I thought that I had marked off the box where I had chosen the $200,000 and only picked the free $2000.  However when I checked my bank account I found out that a premium had been taken out.  I visited my bank and asked them to return the money and stop further deductions.  They contacted the insurance company who insisted that we send them a written request and refusing to stop it otherwise.  After getting really annoyed I decided to leave it as was.  But I had already asked my bank to return the money, which they did.  Just yesterday we got a copy of the policy along with a letter from the bank stating the money was returned as well as a letter from the insurance company stating that they had cancelled the policy since it had not been paid.  It was confusing but I was not really concerned.  However, if you are looking for no exam life insurance, you may not have any idea where to start looking online, or else you’ve been to a few sites which wanted all kind of information from you which you may not want to give.  Many of these insurance companies also want you to have a medical exam depending on how much insurance you want.  That is awfully inconvenient.  We did that before and we did have to wait several months before a nurse was sent out to our home to take the required medical history and blood test. I visited a site called wholesaleinsurance dot net which gave me some interesting information on life insurance, especially quotes.  They state that some sites that offer quotes are not giving you the whole truth; that the quote actually means nothing to the company offering it as it never is the end result for the insurance that you want.  They are going to change the costs in other words.  Who needs that!  Their site gives you factual and truthful information as well as it will find you information on the best insurances and even for smokers, the lowest prices.  The fact that they gave this information impressed me and it makes me more willing to consider their offers for insurance.
