I love deals!!! Now generally I’m not a coupon clipper, but that’s the beautiy of online coupons, no clipping involved.. coupons Is an UNBELIEVABLE place to find hundreds, possibly thousands of coupons for just about every store imaginable!!!
A personal favorite of mine is Best Buy Coupons . I am currently in the market for a new digital camera, and am looking, in the near future, for a new desktop computer.
I have dealt with Best Buy on several occasions, and I like their service, and their products! These newfound coupons are just icing on the cake, so to speak. I would likely go to Best Buy anyway, but why not save myself a little money while I’m at it!!! AND with shopping online, I can even get these great deals while I’m still in my pajamas!!

Today we went to Walmart, and Megan said she wanted to get her ears pierced. Well, she had them pierced acouple of years ago, but than developed an infection, and when I took the earrings out, to get the infection cleared up, she refused to let me put the earrings back in. So I told her she would not be getting her ears pierced again any time soon. Well, seeing as how it had been acouple of years, I thought why not.
Well, let me back up, there has been 1 or 2 other occasions where she wanted to get it done, and I was going to let her, and she has always backed out before it was done…
Now today, I ask her “are you sure?” and of course she says “yes”…so we go, and we sit, get our ears cleaned, the little dots put on, and than the first earring is shot in….Well, Megan jumped when she heard the sound of the “gun”, and that made the gun/earring pull, which of course made it hurt worse….Megan flipped out!!!! Hollering and crying forever….Saying she didn’t want to get the other one done…I tried to comfort her, tried being stern with her, tried telling her she would look funny with only one earring…all to no avail!!! Could not get her to get the second earring done!!!!
So here we sit at home, with one earring, and adament that we don’t want the second. By the time we left Walmart, I was sooooooooooo frustrated and upset that I was crying!!
My plan is, in a week (like the guy at Walmart said), I’m going to take the 1 earring out, and than she will not be getting earring again!!!! Am NOT going to go through this crap again!!!

Payday Loans seem to be popular. I can see the merit in them, as I live paycheck to paycheck too, but I have also seen them get people in deep debt.
cash advance loans is a large scale company that provides payday loans in many states and cities. Kansas is where I live, and low and behold they provide for Kansas people as well. Kansas Payday Loans I was not suprised to see however that they don’t have a place in the city where I live, to secure a loan, but they do have one in nearby Emporia. Emporia Payday Loans
I do caution people in the use of the payday loans, but I can’t say that I will never need to use this service. Things do come up unexpectedly, and it usually happens when we are all broke.

Wow, I’m tired…Put in 50 hours at work this week, and am scheduled for almost 60 this coming week. After that, I’m going to cut back again, with any luck anyway.
House Manager last day is Sunday…*sigh* They have already hired a new one, and is in the process of training her. I got a look at her today, at the staff meeting…Can’t say yay or nay at this point. Other co-workers have told me that she is very quiet, and shy. Doesn’t want anything to do with scheduling, knows very little about computers…and well, those things are a must in this job!! Another problem, assuming what I heard is right, she doesn’t have a sense of humor….Well, you may not believe it, but in our job, a sense of humor is a must as well!! The job can be highly stressful, the only way to survive, is with a sense of humor…I will say, that she didn’t strike me as a friendly type, and well, that will cause issues as well.
I guess time will tell.

I have been fortunate enough never to become involved with drugs. I have to be honest though, there have been times, before I became a Mother, that I was curious about them, and had thought about trying some of them. Some of my friends, family, and other acquaintances were not so fortunate. I particularly think of one of my cousins in this case. He got involved with Marijuana in high school. I’m not sure if he ever used any other drugs. It was years before he was “clean” again. He did it on his own, but many people can’t and so drug treatment is a great place for them, or family members to check out.
The link provided takes you to this awesome site, which is a drug rehab referral service. It is completely at NO COST to you! There are thousands of drug rehabilitation and alcohol rehabilitation organizations in this country, and knowing which one to send your loved one to is an overwhelming task. This site has, I’m guessing, hundreds of helpful pages and links to information, all designed to help you.
One of the best things is they also deal with alcoholics as well. Which, sadly, might be a more “popular” addiction than drugs themselves.
If you have a problem with drugs or alcohol, or know someone that does, why don’t you check out this wonderful site? They can really help you find just the right program to help you!!!
