It seems that stainless steel tile is becoming a very popular way to tile in numerous ways and rooms in homes these days. My sister and her hubby are seriously looking into having some pretty nice looking decorative metal tiles from MetalStainlessSteelTiles.com  to be installed in their recent kitchen make over, that I really am starting to appreciate the look of. I have to say that at first the thought of stainless steel tiles just didn’t set right with my taste, but after looking at the big picture I do believe that it will look pretty darned good.

They have been working on this kitchen make over since the end of the year and they really want to wrap it up and move on to other outside projects that they could be getting into while we are having perfect weather for outdoor projects. I’ve been getting a lot done outside, you have to take this perfect 70 degree weather, with no humidity, while you can. I’m ready to drag out the tiller and get started on tilling our small vegetable and herb garden this weekend.

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!

It’s good to know that there are ways out there to stop collection harassment for good because with today’s economic turmoil just isn’t getting any better and more and more people are getting deeper and deeper in debt and debt collections has turned into a major big business because of that fact.

My sister has had to get legal assistance in her effort to stop collection harassment California  style since her husband got laid off just last fall and it doesn’t look promising in that he will be landing anything decent any time soon. Even the fast food restaurants have started to cut back on hiring a lot of folks that normally turn to a stent at fast food in between other higher paying positions in various fields.

My sister has even considered a short career in exotic dancing in an effort to keep the mortgage paid and not lose the house. She used to dance in between high school and when she went to college. She did pretty good but I don’t think her husband would be thrilled with her taking to the stage now that they are married with children. But some times you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

Easy money is always a temptation.  It’s going to be even more of a temptation in this economy.  As long as I can remember, there have been scams to make people believe that it is easy to Make Money at Home by signing up to a specific program, and sending in some kind of fee or payment to get started.

Those type of programs make  me really nervous.  I’d like to Make Money Online.  Who wouldn’t?  I’d love to just stay in my pajamas most of the day, work at my own pace at my own convenience and Make Money from home,  And I know that those types of opportunities DO exist.  But I’ve also seen a lot of television news articles about how a lot of those advertised opportunities are scams, so I am really cautious about signing up with any kind of program that sounds “too good to be true.”  I’d really like to hear from someone that I know personally and trust that they have done it themselves and then they prove to me that it works for them.

I have never been more excited in my life than I was the day I quit my job in “Corporate America” to start my own business. I’d had a dream of opening a boutique for years, and I finally just decided one day to go for it. I had enough money saved up to get things off the ground, and I was definitely not scared of working hard. With the excitement also came sheer terror, unfortunately. I had a great idea and good style, so I knew I’d be successful once I got things rolling. The problem was figuring out my first few steps. I am not so great with logistical details, so I recruited a good friend to help me out with the detail work. She was awesome. She helped me secure my storefront, and she quickly got me set up with the essentials like phone and internet. She actually just did a little research on Brooklyn T1 and got a great provider for me. They handle my phone and internet, so it’s one less thing for me to worry about. Now that we have all the little things out of the way, I can’t wait to start running my successful boutique!
