Nita's Random Thoughts

Contribution by Stevie Kirby

I love my neighborhood and my home. We moved here a few years ago because our old neighborhood was changing. The local public school was going down hill, and we knew we needed to make a change. My kids now go to a great public school,, and we have access to everything we need. We chose this neighborhood specifically because the school district is so good and the area is really nice and well taken care of. Our kids are so important to us, and we just want them to have the best opportunities. We knew that they would love it here and jumped at the opportunity to move. There is also a lot of shopping nearby, so that is really convenient for me. It would be a nightmare if I had to make a long trek every time we needed something from the store. Although I feel very comfortable in our neighborhood, I felt that I needed to add some extra security to our home, just for peace of mind. I contacted Total Alarm Systems and got our family a great home security system. I feel much better knowing that I am taking active steps to feel safer.

Like many people, you’re probably hoping the coming year is filled with success and prosperity — or maybe you’ll simply be happy to have a year with less debt. Money matters and financial management can be difficult issues to tackle, especially when the number crunching just makes you feel discouraged. Instead of hoping that Publisher’s Clearing House will arrive at your door (finally!), how about meeting your hopes for a great fiscal new year halfway by adopting a new and improved money management method?

The need to buy prescription glasses is something that should not be taken lightly or postponed until one has the time to actually consult an optometrist and have a prescription glasses made. I have a friend who keeps on postponing her trip to the optometrist because she was apprehensive about spending a lot of money on cheap eyeglasses. Because of this, she ended up having sleepless nights because of severe headaches.

I have several friends and relatives in Mindanao. I was so shocked and felt heartbroken when I heard about the current death toll of the tropical storm Sendong. Tropical storm Sendong or Washi hit several regions in Mindanao on Saturday, bringing strong winds and heavy rains. My friends in Cagayan de Oro City were badly affected by the flash flood due to Typhoon Sendong (Washi).

When was the last time you have used a landline phone for personal use? It used to be that a business will thrive as long as there is one landline phone. That was two decades ago. Ten years later, more people have gotten themselves a mobile phone. Basically, the reason is so that there will be no missed call and the owner can call someone when needed even while in the middle of commute. The ability to communicate through text messaging (SMS) has been a blessing also especially for those who are financially hard up. When the ability to connect to the internet has been incorporated in phones, many do stay in touch via Facebook, check their mails, download videos (especially for those with large capacity memory cards).

Couple of months ago, my brother-in-law decided buy her sister's car at affordable prices. The whole family went to Cebu to get the car. I found out they hired a Car Shipping company to transport the vehicle to Bohol. Everyone knows that car shipping to other locations usually takes longer. Across-ocean shipments are likely to take longer than land only vehicle shipments. Reliable companies will talk about this with you whenever you contact to get an estimate or even make necessary arrangements.

My cousin owned and managed a commercial vehicle business. A couple of years ago, they made a decision to get commercial vehicle insurance. Commercial vehicle insurance can certainly help save your valuable business. It's always difficult to see a small business throw money away or perhaps be required to close up because of being under protected or not insured in general.

Different people handle time differently. Depending on what you are prioritizing, whether it is really worth prioritizing, it seems that 24 hours in a day is always not enough for anyone. Technology has even given us the advantage of taking almost everything instant from the time you wake up till the time you go back to bed. The internet has made communication way a lot faster than what used to be. When the email was invented, suddently the name "snail mail" got recognition.

Thanks for the post from Sylvester Campbell

I’m so fortunate that I have the opportunity to stay at home with my children. Had you told me five years ago I’d be changing diapers and cleaning up spit up full time, I would have laughed in your face. I was the most driven “career woman” I knew. I lived and breathed my job, and I loved every second of it. And then I had my first child, and something inside me just switched on. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that this was what I was meant to do with my life. While a lot of people don’t agree with my decision, it’s a decision my husband and I came to after much careful thought. I know it’s the right decision for my family and myself, and I’ve never doubted it for a minute. The one downside, of course, is having less money coming in every month. Add to that the fact that we’ve incurred some additional costs (diapers are expensive!) and we’ve had to cut back a little bit. The quickest and easiest change we made was calling NewYorkEnergyrates.com. We got to switch our natural gas company to one that is more affordable, and it’s made a huge difference.
