The inevitable

by Mary Anne

Guest post by Brittany Sommers

I hate how so many people don’t give a moment’s thought to buying life insurance.  Many people say that they can’t afford to buy life insurance, so they just don’t bother.  Yet when I look around at their lifestyle I see them smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol and bar hopping on the weekends.  And I see them eating out at restaurants once or twice a week.

I cannot imagine for one moment forgoing buying life insurance in favor of those more entertaining expenses.  I think that these are incredibly selfish people.  Everyone dies sooner or later, and when that happens, who is going to be paying for their funeral?  Don’t they even care that they will be putting someone that loves them under a huge financial stress on top of the emotional stress of losing a loved one?  How can they be that selfish?  It is so easy to find inexpensive plans through websites like iselect.com.au.  I don’t think that there is any excuse good enough to blow that off.  Get insurance, people!


Seeking a Faithful Companion?

by Mary Anne


This advertisement shows a picture of attractive, older man, which is what caught my attention in the first place. He looks happy and accomplished, and I like the hat. Iit gave me a few minutes to seriously consider signing up for this internet based dating service.
But the words of the ad say that he is looking for a faithful companion. I’m sorry if this sound snarky, but the first thought I had was – well, he needs to get a dog.


Digger The Dermatophyte – He Will Haunt Your Dreams

I was spending some time earlier at some of the Health and Fitness Directory websites that I have been bookmarking, in an attempt to find some information about what has been going on with my big toe. I don’t remember dropping anything on it, but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t, I’m certainly not the most graceful people in the world and I’m always finding cuts, scrapes and bruises on various places on my body and not having a clue as to where they came from, but…….My big toe nail has turned black and blue and green and I’m starting to wonder if I have got myself one of those toe fungusthingsthat we see those zanny and almost creepy commercial for on TV for Lamisil.

Anyway I’ve wanted to read up on the subject before buying a product like this guy is pushing and I’m grateful for the Internet to allow me to look at a variety of Health and Wellness Directory websites for people like me that don’t want to go running to my doctor for something that I might be handle on my own some how. With all of the over the counter products available it is so much easier to turn to that option, unless you have a crush going on with your doctor or you enjoy giving him a big chunk of your paycheck time after time. For one of the most recent Health Directory sites that I’ve been checking out is the-health-directory.net one that has a lot of different links that I enjoyed eye balling.

Easy schmeazy

Over the weekend I found some old video tapes of some of the kids school performances and decided to watch them.  They sure brought back some great memories!  I started to wonder how I could convert the videos in such as way as to be able to load them onto YouTube.  I’m thinking that I need to convert them from the tape to a DVD, which isn’t impossible (I have a machine that will do that) but I don’t know from that point how to upload that to YouTube.  Boy do I feel stupid!

While I was poking around on the Internet, trying to figure out if there was some information on how to do that without having to spend a fortune on software, I came across a website that specializes in converting file formats.  I saw options like an iPhone 4 Video Converter and an iPhone 4 Ringtone Maker, and converting from FLV to other video formats, but I think that what I need is to convert from the video format of my DVD (which I don’t even know what that will be yet!) to a format that will upload to YouTube.  I hate being technologically challenged!
