Pretty much how I feel

May 27, 2007 by Tricia

Well if the knife were in my stomach that’d be pretty much how I feel.

I just thought I’d lighten up the mood a bit with a funny photo. That poor dog! Look how red his eyes are!  I don’t think that’s camera red-eye! LOL

I’m dragging today

May 27, 2007 by Tricia

I’m sorry that I haven’t yet managed to do my Green Thumb Sunday post. I’ve got so much work to do today that it’s not funny!

Plus, the Crohn’s has reared it’s nasty head so I’m trying to do my work with a massively high fever and abdominal pain that I probably should, but won’t, go to the hospital about. I won’t go because I know it’s the Crohn’s and there isn’t much they can do for me, but put me on more meds and maybe hydrate me a little bit.

I’m sick of doctors, hospitals, appointments and medical tests. I’m sick of the pain too and not being able to eat more than a mouthful of food at a time. It can take me upwards of two to three hours to eat dinner sometimes. I take a few bits and then I have to take a break. By the time I’m about a half hour into a meal it’s getting pretty disgusting because the food is cold and uh often has a different texture than when it’s warm which turns me off the food even more, but you can only heat up a meal so many times before you destroy it that way too.

I think I’ll be lying down for about 24 hours once I’m done my work, and the Green Thumb Sunday post. I probably won’t be visiting any sites today, but if I feel better tomorrow I’ll visit some of my GTS and maybe Do follow people.

I hope my American friends are having a nice long weekend.

Need a flag? Check out The United States Flag store

May 27, 2007 by Tricia

It’s Memorial Day weekend in the USA and I’ll bet that many of my US readers either have flags, or would like to have American Flags to display on such a special holiday.

If you need to purchase US Flags you should visit the United States Flag Store, the largest online retailer of flags and flagpoles.


The United States Flag store carries everything that someone wanting to purchase and display a flag might need. On the easy to navigate site you’ll find everything from small flags, car flags, pins, patches and decals, patriotic decorations, as well as patriotic wear and gifts. Along with the selection that I just listed, they also sell custom flags, state flags, World flags, flag display cases, flag accessories and Outdoor Flagpoles. There’s even a section on the site that contains information about flag etiquette and flag care.

I’ve actually been asked to write an article about the United States Flag Store website, and to tell you the truth there’s little that I can find that needs improving on the site.

The site is well laid out and it’s very easy to find whatever you are looking for by using the menu list on the left hand side of the page. There are also buttons at the top of each page that lead to the largest and most important sections of the online store.

I think the selection of flags, flag related accessories and flag poles is just amazing. I don’t believe that I’ve ever been on a site with such a wide selection. Perhaps that could be the sites only downfall in that a person might like too many products and delay their purchase.

At the very bottom of the menu on the left side of the page there is a menu selection called “Specials” and another one called “Election Campaign Discounts”. I think that the Specials menu section should perhaps be moved up closer to the top of the menu area. It’s nice when you visit a site to know if they are having a sale on certain items. Often the most popular items are listed as being for sale so it’s possible that this online store might make even more sales if it displayed it’s specials a little more prominently.

If you need to purchase a Flag – US, state or a flag from another country I would strongly suggest having a look at the huge selection at the United States Flag store first. The prices are reasonable and the selection is probably the most complete selection of flags and flag related items that I’ve ever seen.

Trouble getting some reviews done!

May 27, 2007 by Tricia

Oh dear. I’m doing some work for some advertisers today, on this site and another, and I’m having trouble submitting my finished links! The jobs are due today so this is a real problem!

Other than putting in a support ticket with the company I have no idea what else I can do! I may lose the job! ARghhhh! Well, I guess I’ll write my posts anyway and see what happens.

BTW one of the problems I’m having, a different problem, is with P direct. I sent a thank you note to one of the advertisers who requested that I do a post for them. In this note I told them that I’d be “accepting” their offer in a moment. Well, I didn’t realize that using the “negotiate” button would make the accept offer button disappear. If you are the advertiser that requested a review, please go back to Pay/PerP0st and I guess, say yes to my negotiation, which as I said was only a thank you note, and then I can accept the offer and finish the work for you.

Exclusive deals and savings with Home Depots Garden Club Newsletter

May 26, 2007 by Tricia

I’ll bet that some of the people that read this blog are gardeners? Am I right? Or perhaps you might not call yourself a gardener but you do have houseplants, and perhaps a few potted plants on your balcony, patio or in your yard?

Ok, well then, perhaps you might be interested in signing up for Home Depots Garden club Newsletter?

When you sign up you’ll have access to exclusive offers and coupon deals. I love a deal so that alone makes the Garden Club Newsletter sound pretty good to me, but wait there’s more …

Sign up for the newsletter and you’ll also get information about Gardening news, regional gardening reports, gardening tips and a lot more.

I haven’t received a newsletter yet, but I’m pretty sure that the Garden Club Newsletter will contain exclusives and deals not just on plants and supplies related to garden plants but probably on equipment used in and around the garden and yard. So, even if you aren’t a gardener you might still be interested in the newsletter because of the deals that you might get on lawn and yard related equipment.

Sign up now if you’re interested!
