Managing insurance policies

In my opinion, people should be diligent about making sure that they have enough insurance, both for their homes and the vehicles.  These are big ticket items that would devastate someone financially if something bad happened to them and the owners could not afford to fix them up.  However, in this economy, people need to pay careful attention to what insurance they are buying; they want to make sure to get the best value for their money!

With that in mind, I think it is wonderful that you can get Online Instant Insurance Quotes to help you find out what is available “out there” without having to make a lot of phone calls.  I love how you can get Auto Insurance Quotes and Home Insurance Quotes with just a few clicks of the mouse and keyboard!  You can get all of the information you need in the comfort of your own home!  Isn’t technology wonderful?

Rewiring a lamp

I have a very old floor lamp that I was given by a dear aunt. She tells me that she bought it over thirty years ago. I love it dearly, but it has finally given up the ghost. The socket died, and I decided it was appropriate to rewire the entire thing because the plug was the old fashioned kind that just was not as safe as the newer ones. So I went to the hardware store and bought what I needed to rewire the lamp. It took a couple of hours to take it all apart and rewire it, but I did it myself and it turned out fine. I had called an electrician and asked him how much he would charge to re-wire it and he had told me it would cost over $100! The rewiring supplies cost me less than $20, so I’m thrilled that I saved $80 by re-wiring it myself! And I’m thrilled that I kept the lamp from going to the junkyard, so I did my part to save the environment today!

A fun way to raise money for your favorite charity

Seth tod me that he has found a fun way to get involved in charity fundraising for his favorite charity.  He has a couple of different non profit charity organizations that he is very fond of.  One being the Locks of Love charity because one of his nieces has cancer and has lost her hair.

The Locks of Love charity takes donated hair and turns them into wigs to give to children who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments.  Anyway, Seth has found a program that encourages donation to charity by getting involved in making and fulfilling dares and collecting money from pledges from other people related to the dares.  The participants can pick the charity of their choice for the fundraising efforts.  The details of this program can be found at the daredealer.com website.
