There is absolutely nothing more annoying to me than to come home and find that all of the lights in the house are on, but no one is in most of the rooms! I can’t seem to educate certain folks that we need to save money by turning off lights when we leave the room. Well, I just found out that Black & Decker is releasing for sale motion detector light switches that will turn the lights off automatically after a few minutes of detecting no motion. The price sounds reasonable, about $30 per switch. They are supposedly going on sale in April. I’ve signed up to receive an email notice from them when they come out! I am DEFINITELY going to buy several!
I don’t think that I’m alone when it comes to going out shopping and hating every minute of it. I would rather be doing anything, including raking leaves, rather than have to go out to the many retail stores in town and dealing with all of the issues that go along with that task. If I need something then I’ll send the wife out or I’ll find it online and have it delivered to my door, simple as that.
Right now I am in the need of some new mens clothing and I have found several sites that I’ve taken a liking to and will be doing some business with real soon like. At Aeropostale.com this weekend they offer free shipping on orders of $100 or more and they also have a ton of good stuff on clearance that by using the code of TAKE50 will get you 50% off. Now that is the type of shopping that I can enjoy and handle without losing my cool with some irate sales associate or dealing with Joe Public that don’t want to be out shopping either!
We can all use a little help when it comes to getting things done around the house. I have found a good website at ex2dohome.com that has a good amount of information as well as videos to help “Harry The Home Owner” with all kinds of tasks that we all eventually have to deal with at some time or another. Websites such as this one are good for all the women out there that either enjoy doing handy work or have no one else to do it for them so they are trying hard to do it themselves.
My wife wants to help me with the installing of our new carpet that is on order as we speak. So I went to ez2dohome.com and found an “how to install carpet video” and send her the link so that see can take a look at it before we get started, sort of a head’s up ya know. Anything to help make the task at hand an easier one to deal with is what I always say! If you have a need for a website such as this I would urge you to check them out and see if it is something that would benefit you at some point.
One of the old classics from the 70′s that I’ve always enjoyed hearing now and then is the song “Taxi” by Harry Chapin. I was browsing through You Tube earlier and stumbled onto the video. I really enjoy the way You Tube brings us all the music you could ever think of and allows us to listen and watch at our convenience.
Listen and Enjoy and Remember The 70′s, if you can…
A friend of mine sent me a link to a video that shows how to extend the life of “dead” batteries! I couldn’t believe it was possible – dead means dead, right? So I went to the video and watched it – it looks like it really could work, although if used improperly could make the batteries leak, which could damage the flashlight (or whatever) they are being used to power. I think I’ll give it a try myself on a cheap flashlight next time some batteries die!
