Remain Active

As years pass by, people are getting older and before you know it, you will be in your golden years. Then a few years after, you will be a senior citizen in this country. Old folks tend to become weaker and they need some support to do the things they used to do independently. It would be a good idea to install walkin baths for them to be able to bathe themselves safely without being worried of being slipped in the floor. Remain Active's walk in tubs coordinate with all dcors, and will accommodate any bathroom that has an existing regular sized bathtub. It comes with a low 6 step threshold, ergonomically positioned bathtub safety bar, ADA approved fixtures, and deck mounted hand held shower head. With this in your bathroom, you will have the bathing experience you have been longing for!

Painted Fence

This is the front of our concrete fence in our house in the Philippines. My hubby wanted it to be painted with a scenic view and so he asked the friend of my brother who is his painting tutor to paint it. I printed the picture of the view from the internet. My brother helped his tutor to paint our fence, both sides from our gate. After it was painted, all of the people passing by the street can't help themselves but to turn their neck and look. Even the people inside the cars and buses that passed by were looking. It was really an attraction because it's only our fence which was painted with a scenic view. By the way, the painter was a lady. She was really good. it's been almost 5 years now and it's already fading but my brother had been retouching it. By the way, my sister e-mailed me this photo today.

Shop at Cyber Monday

A lot of people here in the US love to shop. Whenever I go to the mall, I see a lot of people there shopping from teens, young and old alike. My hubby doesn't want to go on a crowded store to shop that's why he doesn't want to go with me in the mall to shop especially during the day after Thanksgiving. As you all know, that's the day wherein most people go shopping for the coming Christmas season and the prizes are really marked down during that day. So I can't do anything if my hubby doesn't wanna go because I don't drive. I can't go alone by myself. So instead of sulking I just go online and shop there. It's hassle free and I don't have to fall in a long line to wait in the checkout. There's this website that I've came across which features discounts and sales that various merchants are offering. Cyber Monday is a website which helped show people that they can save money when shopping for Christmas by buying items during Cyber Monday, which is the Monday after Thanksgiving. You can find different merchant stores in this site that offers discounted prices and bfads in their stores. I found out that they carry Wal Mart here which is my hubby's favorite store. I can shop here online and buy the things I want to give for Christmas to my family and loved ones. With the discounts that this site offers, I can surely save money.

The site also offers email alerts that let you know when new cyber monday sales have been posted. They tried to make it a consumer friendly site that was useful for planning your holiday shopping last year. Just go to their site and submit your e-mail address to receive the e-mail alerts.

Incredibly Important

I never thought of this.......I wouldn't do it anyhow, but maybe
somebody would.

This lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names on her
mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which
contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet... etc... was stolen.

20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone
telling him what had happened, hubby says 'I received your text asking
about our Pin number and I replied a little while ago.

When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the
money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen
cell phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin
number.

Taxes

The media has done a good job of convincing many that Bush has done such a terrible job. Check your tax bill before you criticize!!!

Based on using the actual tax tables (see link below), here are some examples on what the taxes were/are on various amounts of income for both singles and married couples. so let's see if the Bush tax cuts only helped the rich.
http://www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html

Taxes under Clinton 1999 Taxes under Bush 2008
Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $38,750 Married making 125K - tax $31,250

If you want to know just how effective the mainstream media is, it is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If any democrat is elected, ALL of them say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above .

I can't wait for it to happen.

This is like the movie The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened.
