There is one flea market I went to today that is open each Saturday and Sunday, all year round, along with the few Mondays that are legal holidays such as today as well as the 4th of July and Memorial Day. It’s a big flea market and it takes time to walk around and take it all in. Most of the vendors there are friendly and I enjoy spending the day visiting them all, checking out their wares and to their tales, business and personal issues alike.

Dan has been selling media products there for as long as I can remember. He has a permanent booth, over flowing with old records, of all speeds, 8 tracks, cassettes, DVD’s, CD’s and Video Games up the wazoo. But he always has this one display case that he keeps his real treasures tucked away in, his silver and gold pieces.  There is a lot of buying and selling of silver and golds these past few years and he wants his hands in the kettle along with everyone else’s.

So Dan spent a good 45 minutes or so telling me all about what he has been learning online about his newest interest which is all about bullion. He is researching the best way to buy gold bullion and using the Internet to his advantage with so many options out there these days for things such as this. Like I said, he kept my attention for almost an hour and then I’m sure my eyes were starting to glaze over at this point with the key words,”buy bullion” and “gold bullion” being repeated over and over. I’d had enough and wanted to move on to the tables and booths that I hadn’t seen yet, the clock was ticking and there was still so much that I wanted to see.

I’m thankful for the customer that came in just in time to distract him in an effort to make a sale and I bid him a quick farewell and got myself out of there. Dan is a great guy but my goodness he would ramble on for hours, non stop and quick like if he had his way!

I remember looking at the School Lockers in the hall ways and thinking how little the Lockers have become since I was in school.  They are now half the size of what they used to be, I don’t know how these kids are managing to cram everything that they need into them. During the winter months with your coats, boots, mittens, umbrellas and the like it must be a real hassle for the poor kids.

Now my Gym Locker was small, if I remember correctly it was a Wood Locker, which was a poor choice, in my opinion, since  wood absorbs odors and we all know how smelly our gym clothes were back then. Now a days they don’t even make the kids take a shower after gym class, which is something that we always were made to do each and every day.

Anyway, I had a few minutes to spare last night and found myself looking at the variety of Lockers for sale on the Internet. We have come a long way baby, but I still think that they need to give today’s students bigger Lockers.

My father used rain water barrels when we lived at the old home stead back in the day. I really never gave it much thought back then, but I do appreciate all of his efforts now a days. I plan on ordering some rain barrels for my own place come next pay day. If it will help with keeping our garden producing, I’m all for it. There has been a big effort to get this garden up and running and I look forward to a good harvest coming in soon.

I love this time of the year when folks are harvesting their gardens and giving away all of the extras that they have no need or use for. It’s all good!

Unfortunately, this was before the Internet was available and we didn’t know how to find college textbooks anywhere other than the university’s own book store. We spent a lot of money on college textbooks. Don’t get me wrong, the education was worth the expense, but as far as I’m concerned the textbooks should be provided to the student as part of the tuition money. The book stores would tell you that they’d buy the textbooks back after the semester was over, but the money that they paid for used books was a small fraction of their original cost. And many times they would refuse to buy them back at all, saying that the books weren’t going to be used again for another class.

Sure, you could save a little bit of money by buying used textbooks, but now buying used textbooks from Abebooks over the Internet is a huge advantage to today’s students.

I remember that there was a major push about 6 years ago in an effort to get more games that would appeal to the female population, girls in particular. I haven’t paid that much attention to it to tell you the truth but I do know that there seems to be a good effort from the gaming companies to fulfill this need.

She was telling me that her friend Nancy just switched to satellite because she found a good deal on www.localtv-satellite.com, and she suggested that we check it out too.  The biggest concern that I have about signing up with a service like localtv-satellite.com is regarding how many sets can be hooked up to it, and how many can watch different shows at a time.  I don’t want to have to buy or rent a lot of different receiver boxes – but if they are free it wouldn’t be so bad.  I just don’t to lose my favorite channels just to save a few dollars!

At enclosedbulletinboards.com they hve a huge selection of enclosed bulletin boards. So if you are looking for at enclosed cork bulletin boards or enclosed fabric bulletin boards they have them there folks. They offer free shipping, quick delivery and they accept PayPal which is something that I always look for.

I still haven’t decided yet but I’ve got time.

I think most of us have someone close to us that has some type of serious illness or disability that effects us in numerous ways each day. The Internet is such a powerful tool for us to utilized in gaining some major knowledge that can empower us tremendously in cases just like this.

As with most illnesses there are things that we all can help with such as the much talked about Multiple Sclerosis Diet and the Multiple Sclerosis Exercise that is making such an impact on so many MS patients. You can find out so much information like this and much more at this wonderful website. Read it and pass it on, if you will.
