Want to date a Millionaire?

by

There’s a dream that almost every little girl has when they are young. The dream involves a handsome man, a huge house and the money to buy whatever they want when they want it. Usually that means that the little girl dreams of marrying a millionaire or a rockstar or an actor someday when she’s old enough. A man who can give her everything her little heart desires.

Hold you your hand if you grew up having that dream every once in a while? I see a lot of hands out there.

Well, how would you like a chance to date a millionaire? You can if you visit this new completely free dating site called Dating Millionaires. You can meet others on the site who are interested in dating millionaires and you can most definitely find some millionaires that are looking for dates.

It can’t hurt to explore the site if you are looking for a date. You might just meet the man of your dreams, and he might even have money to spend that would make all those old childhood dreams come true. Now wouldn’t that be nice?





What a deal!

by

Yesterday Chris had the day off and we decided to go out and run some errands. He’d already run some errands of his own, see my next post!

I had some cheques that I hadn’t gotten around to depositing in the bank – ones from Google, Text Links Ads, Amazon, and we wanted to transfer some money from a new bank account that we’d started just for our paypal money into our regular accounts. So one of the errands was to do our banking.

It felt good putting that money in the bank and moving the Paypal money around. We’ve both been earning money with Payperp0st but we really haven’t used it for anything yet. Well, now it’s moved into the bank accounts that we pay our bills and our mortgage with, so I can finally say that P is paying my mortgage! Yeah! Believe me, that’s a nice feeling!

After that we wanted to just get a few things in the grocery store and maybe go to Walmart to get one or two things that we needed.

Well, we went to the closest Walmart and found it in CHAOS! You see, this store is closing down and moving to a new superstore Walmart just down the street on Wednesday.

We managed to get some great deals!

I spotted a 25 piece ratchet set (I think that’s what it is). Chris has always wanted one of those, and I remember helping him change our car battery last January in the freezing cold with tools that just didn’t fit right, so I had no problem with him wanting to get a set. The set was regularly $49.95 or something to that effect, but they marked it down to $25 for us.

Then I spotted one of those exercise BalanceBall kits. It too had normally been priced at $49.95 but the sign above it said $29.95. I thought that was fair. I’ve wanted one of these exercise balls for well over a year. The assistant manager was in the area marking down prices on each item. Apparently they had to be tagged before you brought them to the cashier. When I showed her my find she marked it at $15. DEAL! However, when I got to the cash they only charged me $5! Bonus!

We found a few other things that we could use that were also marked down quite a bit, but I’d say that getting the ratchet set and the balanceball which normally would have cost over $100 for only $30 was the best deal of all.

Oh I almost forgot. We got one other deal. When I got to the cashier I noticed that they had a number of potted flowering bulbs for sale. I think all of them were daffodils, and they were already flowering so they really weren’t worth purchasing.

Then I spotted one lone Orchid among the daffodils. Orchids are very nice, very exotic flowers. I already have three of them here at home but they are sooooo nice.

I held on to it and when we got to the cashier I asked her how much it was. She had to call for a price check and the manager had to come and help over-ride the prices on our other great deals anyway. It turns out that the orchid, which I know from seeing them at many other stores that sell plants are normally about $30 each, was just $5.00! A final bonus!

The orchid is now sitting on my kitchen table, blooming it’s pretty little head off. I love it.

Maybe this weekend we’ll go to the new superstore Walmart and see if they have any great grand opening deals.

I really need new contacts

by

I keep saying that I’m going to get new contacts and I keep forgetting about it. Well, I suppose that the price of contact lenses has also been a factor since I’m home sick and don’t have much income coming in.

When I have a little bit more money saved up, and or coming in I think that I’ll order contact lens online as the prices I’ve been seeing are so much cheaper than what I’d pay at my local optometrists office or at a store that specializes in glasses and contact lenses.

One site that I’ve bookmarked is Discountcontactlenses.com. I keep visiting the site, and of course have yet to buy lenses from them, and I see deals for different types of contact lenses each time I visit the site.

Right now they have sales on their Acuvue lenses and the CIBA Focus brand of lenses. The Acuvue have a $30 rebate, and the Ciba Focus lenses have a rebate that’s for as much as $50. My brand is the the Focus Night and Day lenses and right now if I were to buy some new lenses I could get the Focus Night and Day the fantastic price of $36.39 per box if I bought four boxes.

I’ve really got to get working on saving the money to buy these new lenses. I really need them as my other contacts are so very old I don’t feel comfortable wearing them anymore.

If you are a contact lens wearer you should check on the great deals at Discount Contact Lenses and order contact lens from them.

Ew that burning acidy pain

by

Many of you know that I have Crohn’s and that I’ve had a particularly hard time dealing with the pain it’s caused me lately, in part because the pain has increased dramatically, and the other symptoms that go along with it. One of the other symptoms that bothers me on occasion is Acid Reflux. I’ve been taking prescription medications to control that symptom/ side effect for some time now.

I don’t know if my acid reflux is caused by my Crohn’s or if it’s just another ailment that I’ve picked up along the way as I get older. Oh the joys of maturing! LOL Anyway, I do know that I’m not the only person to ever suffer from Acid reflux so I thought I’d tell you about a site that I just visited that discusses the symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn.

Many women during Pregnancy get what is called Pregnancy Heartburn. If you’d like to read more about the symptoms of this specific type of heart burn please visit the Acid Reflux site.

The website also discusses GERD which is a more serious form of acid reflux caused often, by having chronic acid reflux. Visit the site to learn more about the symptoms of Gerd if you have bad heart burn, or acid reflux that causes pain in your neck, or the feeling that acid is coming back up into your throat when you bend or lie down.

If you’ve only just begun to experience the symptoms of acid reflux you might be interested in reading their page on the causes of indigestion as some of the information on that page may help you lessen the frequency of your symptoms.

I think this would be a great site for anyone suffering from Acid reflux or heartburn to start. Then you can possibly talk with your doctor about ways of relieving the symptoms if this is beginning to become a reoccurring problem.
